AN: In the last few chapters I've written while watch either crime tv, 1000 ways to die and 80's horror movies(sleepaway camp, Nightmare on Elm(1-7), Friday the 13th (1-10) ect). I watch too much of this shit, you might can tell. Right now I'm watching NoE 3.

She looked terrible and there was nothing I could do to help her. She didn't want to talk about it, she barley would eat, and when she did she usually threw it up. She wouldn't sleep. I couldn't get her to tell me anything about the nightmare that sent her in this tailspin just that it was the worse she ever had. She wouldn't talk to any of the adults she trusted. She wouldn't even talk to her sister or parents. I told them what I knew, that she had a really graphic nightmare involving me and her uncle, and since then she has been like this and she wrote that breaking the led five times.

'Your wasting your time; she's helpless you know.' Cricket said. I did my best not to listen. 'If you keep obsessing over this damaged girl your never going to get out of here. Don't make me get Him.' I start to braid her hair into fine strands just out of boardom trying to keep from acknowledging him.

'Don't listen to him baby-doll' Tubs says to me. I smile at him over on Santana's vacant bed that hasn't been slept in since I was in the hospital almost 4 months ago.

"But how can I help her she has never been this bad before." I say. "Goat do you know anything?" . He was like her subconscious talking to me whenever she was unavailable but this was different she wasn't in isolation or in a different class. I wasn't asleep or somewhere else. She was just really traumatized by whatever nightmare

'I only know that she's scared. Keep singing to her, she'll come around to you before any of them.'

I have been singing to her for the last few hours my throat was getting sore and she was still sobbing on my chest. I would take her to our therapist if I could carry her. I wasn't in the chair any more but I certainly wouldn't be able to carry her. The last time I called them over she didn't talk or even look at them.

Quinn and Rachel even threatened to move back in. I told them that it would do no good that I couldn't even get her to talk how did they expect to. I said it a bit meaner than I meant but I was frustrated that everyone thought they knew more than me. Her parents and the doctors I could accept but not the other glee kids. They had no idea how severe this was in comparison to the others. She would only move to follow me to the bathroom. I knew it was to make sure no ghosts grabbed me in the halls. I didn't bother going to the lunch room because she would feel pressured to talk about it and being around that many people when she was so shaken was not a good idea.

"I'm so tired B, but I'm afraid to sleep." she said for the first time in three days. Her voice was hoarse and raspy. I hand her a bottle of water and rub her back whispering comforting things to her. "I think I'm ready to talk about it." she said sitting up. "I mean it's probably the only way to get out of this place right?" I nod for her to go on. She tells me about a world that she lived with her uncle and we went to a normal high school. How she kept what he was doing to her a secret to protect me. When I started asking questions about her staying at my house or me going to hers, she gave some excuse but was trumped when he over heard her. She told me he was hurting her. We were going to the police, and they grabbed us.

I sat and waited for her to finish the gruesome tale ending in my murder and almost hers. If the theory that if you die in your sleep you never woke up was true, than I woke her up just in time. I remember how hard it was to get her up.

The first twitch woke me up. When her twitching turned into sobs, I shook her trying to wake her up. She didn't start thrashing but curled into a fetal position. I kept shaking her she screamed a few times but I still couldn't get her to wake up. She hit me a few times but not hard enough to hurt. She fell to the floor trying to avoid my touch knocking over my crutches in the progress.

Tina and Cedes were staring at us, obviously scared by the intensity of her nightmare. They have seen her freak out before, but must they stare. I was just getting annoyed at all my friends. Finally I dumped the rest of the water bottle by our bed on her. She sat up looking terrified for a moment and then through her arms around me soaking my shirt. I waved the on lookers on. They apologized the next day when they saw just how bad of shape she was in. "It's alright I really just need to be alone with her. We'll be back in glee club when she's better." And since then I just held her.

I had a few of the adults talk to her. They were older, they knew more about her history, they knew what they were doing. I love everyone in the glee club but I can't take their advice when they don't know why she is the way she is. The girls know she was molested as a child. They don't know that she has nightmares about not being able to protect me, well Rachel and Quinn do to some extent. They don't know that two other men have hurt her in the same way as the main one and that is why she can't trust men half of the time.

People don't get her nightmares. Sure, they are sympathetic but they cannot understand how a dead man can haunt her so badly for so long after. Lawson put it to me best, 'When someone is traumatized so young or exposed to such violence it becomes engraved in the persons brain. Her uncle is just a face to that fear. It's her boogeyman' It made perfect since to me even before I asked Dr. Lawson. I didn't get why others couldn't understand it. "Do you feel better" I ask continuing to rub her back. She gives me the smallest of nods.

"I know you've been singing to me for the last few hours but can you keep doing it so I can know your alright." I start singing about ponies and rainbows, anything that would be hard to turn into something evil. I certainly wasn't going to sleep deep enough for her to have another nightmare. I have been refusing to take my sedatives. Lawson knows so it's not like it's wrong, I wasn't going to leave her alone. I still feel bad for the other night when I passed out on her. She acted like she didn't care but that didn't stop me from feeling bad. "Britt?"

"Yeah?" I answer still braiding her hair, but not tying them off.

"Which of the voices were bothing you?"

"Just cricket. The others are on your side."

"So he hasn't came back."

"Not since the one two weeks ago." I say recalling him trying to get me to hurt her again. After falling out of the tree, I told Santana and Lawson everything to keep from repeating the same mistakes. Well from letting them drive me off the roof top. "Glad your feeling better. Are you hungry?" she shakes her head. I let it go; I was just happy she was making progress, but tomorrow she's going to eat, I have my ways. If she refused to eat, I would refuse to eat. Call it underhanded but it was the sure way to make her eat.

"Do I have to tell Lawson about it tomorrow." She asked twirling one of the braids making it de-braid.

"Not tomorrow but if you want me to tell her about it I will. You've been a zombie for three days, she knows this was more than just a flashback."

"I just never have had one that graphic. Not one that felt that real." She pulled off her shirt. "Are there burns or cuts on my back." I check knowing she was serious.

I rub the caramale skin checking all over. Then I try to make her laugh, "Nope only that cute little birth mark that reminds me of a lizard." She snickers and I feel her blushing she hated that birthmark but I thought it was cute.

"I still feel them though."

"I know you do."

"I think I'm going to need your help telling her. I know talking is the only way to get out of here and keep it from becoming more than a bad dream."

"I'm here if you need me. Try to get some sleep." I shut off the lamp and start to sing to her again hoping she'll be able to sleep.

AN: another chapter done. I didn't get any reviews last time :( which was a bit discouraging. I'm going to start the next chapter but don't know when it's going to be up. Sorry I had so much difficulty with this chapter.
