Calleighs POV:
OUCH! A flailing arm hit me full pelt in the stomach, it took me a couple of seconds to realise where I was, in a hotel room sleeping next to a beautiful woman. OUCH! Again!
'Catherine!' I poke her annoyed.
'No please stop it, no don't hurt him, and leave him alone, no, no!' Catherine screamed in her sleep.
'Hey Catherine sweetheart it's ok, hey' I tried to comfort her by taking he into my arms ' what's the matter it's ok I've got you' her thrashings calmed down and her screams turned into whimpers, when her blue eyes shot open in terror and confusion.
'It's ok, it's Calleigh sweetie, you were just having a nightmare' to my absolute surprise she burst into tears 'I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you' I whispered reassuringly into her ear. We lay like this for 5 minutes until her sobbing stopped and she pulled away from me slightly.
'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you sorry' she mumbled still half asleep, looking up at me with sorrowful looking puffy eyes, she tried to pull away from me, I just held her closer.
'Catherine its ok don't worry, I just wanted to make sure you were ok'
'I'm fine sorry'
'Stop apologising!' I whispered in her ear 'do you want to talk about it?'
'Umm well, I have a variation of this nightmare every night' I stayed quiet waiting for her to continue 'Well one of my best friends and fellow CSI Warwick died a year or two back and every night I see him get killed, but in a different way each night' she started to sob again.
'It's ok' I whispered lying down with her still in my arms. After a few minutes I feel her relax and then see she has fallen asleep. Phew, bless her. After only a few minutes I settle down also to get some sleep hoping she doesn't have a nightmare again.
