Author Note: Thanx to the reviewers. I sent an email to everyone who reviewed last time so if you didn't get it let me know in your next review plz. I hope everyone likes this chappie! This chapter is a little on the short side, but I don't want to get into the next main event yet, cuz then it will be way to long. Also, if I forget to say matt's POv the whole thing is from his point of view.

Matt's POV

It took Lucy a really long time to fall asleep. She seemed so jumpy and scared and she kept saying how the dream would come back if she fell asleep. I tried to keep her calm to make sure her heart didn't have to go through to much emotion. It was hard to believe that the heart of my sister, the heart with the love of her family and the love of so much was in a harsh condition. She finally fell asleep and I sat there reflecting over everything that happened. I suddenly heard my stomach growl and I realized I was starving. I hadn't eaten anything since lunch the day before. I wasn't even sure if I felt like eating or if I could possibly leave the room and leave Lucy by herself. I finally decided that it couldn't hurt if I left for a few minutes, just to go to a vending machine to get a bag of chips or something. I reluctantly got up from the chair by Lucy's bedside and walked out.

"Luce," I whispered to my sleeping sister, "I'll be back, I may not be around all the time, but I will always be back." I began walking and I left the room and stumbled down the hallway. I could feel an unexplained tension growing. All of a sudden I jumped when I heard the shrillest, highest, loudest sound I had ever heard. It was Lucy screaming. She had woken up and I wasn't there.

"MATT, MATT, MATT, MATT!" I sprinted as fast as I possibly could back to Lucy's room. When I reached her room my heart dropped. She was sitting up and panting heavily. I sat down slowly on her bed beside her and pulled her to me. I rocked her back and forth slowly as I gently stroked he hair.

"I am so sorry, I really, really am. I…I…"

"You left Matt. You left me and you broke a promise because you promised you wouldn't leave."

"I swear, TO GOD, and I don't do that often, that I will never lie to you or leave you again Ok?"

"Ok, I love you Matt, I really do."

"I love you to Luce. Now I know you're probably really scared to fall asleep, but I really need you to rest."

"I know, I'll try, but I just need to know you're here." After she laid back down I also laid down beside her and put my arm around here until she fell asleep.

This is part of the song that sparked this fic. It's by Evanescence. I'll probably post all of it at the end and other parts f it at times when it fits well. It is suppose to be taken as romantically, but whatever…

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you

Burns inside of me…
The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutualPlease don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
