"Baby!" Stella screamed from her sleep. Her eyes sprung open, while her body was covered in perspiration.
She began breathing heavily as her heart can't stop racing wildly, fear evidence in her eyes.
She stared into space, with tears streaming down her face, as she held her hand to her chest, trying to control her breathing.
There was a knock on the door, before Alex came inside the already lit room, since Stella doesn't turn the lights off, since he didn't hear any reply. Seeing her eyes filled with tears, he quickly wiped it with his thumbs and cupped her face in his palms, "are you okay?" he asked.
Stella look up at him and shook her head, indicating that she's not okay. "What happened?" he asked.
"I had a nightmare just now." she said, her voice quavering, while her tears didn't cease to fall non stop.
