ANOTHER NIGHTMARE
DISCLAIMER
Takes place after "Mended Fences" but before "Because I Love You". Just another theory on how David might've found about Elaine. Everything belongs to Fox Family.
Outside, the storm raged on. Lightning flashed and the thunder rolled. The outside sounds were accompanied by a boy's cries.
"NO! NO!" Scott thrashed around in his bed. With a frustrated groan, David sat up. This had been going on for a few minutes now. Every once in a while, one of the other guys would make some kind of a muttering noise, but then would go back to sleep.
"NO! STOP!" Scott screamed.
"Ooooh! That's it!" David seethed. He threw off the covers of his bed walked the few steps it took to get to Scott's bed.
"Shut up! Nobody cares!" he yelled. This caused Auggie and Ezra to awaken.
"Oye, what's goin' on?" came Auggie's sleepy question.
"Scotty here can't shut up!" David growled. Scott whimpered.
"Leave me alone," he said pleadingly.
"Aw, man. The Meat's havin' another of his nightmares," Auggie realized.
"We better see if we can get him out of it," Ezra stated.
"Careful. We don't wanna get decked again," Auggie cautioned. Ezra gave a rueful chuckle, remembering how early in the year, after trying to wake Scott up from one of his dreams, he had been decked by a thrashing hand. He and Auggie got out of their beds and walked up to their friend, then kneeled beside the boy's bed.
"Scott. Scott," Ezra whispered. Scott continued to moan and whimper.
"Come on, Meat. Wake up," Auggie encouraged, touching a shoulder.
"Get off me, skank! Stop," Scott snapped miserably.
"Man, this kid is psycho," David declared.
"Oye, why don't ya just step off?" Auggie spat out. Then, "Scott. Come on. Wake up, bud." Scott's moans continued for a few more minutes, then he awoke with a gasp.
"It's okay. You're at Horizon," Ezra assured.
"You wanna talk?" Auggie offered.
"She was---she was---in my bed. I begged her to stop," Scott replied hoarsely. David's jaw went slack. Scott had been molested? "I begged her to stop. Reminded her that she had promised no more. She just laughed. Said that I wanted it." The boy shivered and began to rock back and forth. Ezra and Auggie each put a comforting hand on one of Scott's arms.
