I sat on the floor in the corner by myself. I hugged my legs tightly, crying into my arms. I looked up and scream as he stood over me. He kneeled in front of me "They're coming for you." I started breathing heavily and woke up to Kristian shaking me.
Once my eyes were open, he quickly grabbed and held me on his arms "Violet. It's okay. It's just a dream." I inhaled his cologne and forced myself to shut down and hide everything. I wiped my face in his shirt and took a deep breath "I'm fine. It was a dream." I gently pulled myself away from his arms; he looked at me confused "You were screaming."
I sat up "I'm fine. I just need a little bit." I grabbed a blanket and went outside; I sat on the balcony and took in the fresh air. I haven't had these nightmares in years and I kind of wish I wouldn't have one again. I started picking my nails because of my anxiety, I was chewing on my thumb nail when Kristian quietly came out.
