Mel sat up in her bed and opened her eyes shot open quickly as her heart racing. Her eyes glanced around the room looking for the man that was in her nightmare. She let out a breath of relief as she laid back down and tryed to go back to sleep. She tossed and turned until she finally decided to go into the kitchen and get something to drink. She got out of the bed and walked out of the room. She walked down the hall and into the kicthen where she saw a light on and a figure sitting on the stool. She got closer and noticed the figure was brian. She walked into the kitchen as Brian looked up at her and smiled. " hey what you doing up this late?" He asked as Mel walked over to the cabinet and got a glass. " Just getting some water, what about you?" She asked as her voiced trembled slightly. She turned on the faucet and let the water run for a second so it would get cold. " Just thinking. Are you OK?" Brian asked his eyes filled with cocnern. " yeah I'm fine just had a nightmare , no big deal" Mel said as she filled the cup with the water and sat down on the stool next to Brians. " You want to talk about it?" Brian asked as mel shook her head and took a sip of her water. They sat in silence until Brian noticed something on her shoulder that wasn't covered by her shirt. " What's that on your shoulder?" Brian asked as Mel tried to stop the tears that were coming to her eyes. " Just a scare, i'm going to bed goodnight" Mel said as she got up quickly and walked to her room. Brian watched her walk out of the room and heard the door shut. " What did i do?" He asked himself as he got up and walked to his own room. He laid down on his bed and looked up at the ceiling until he fell asleep. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Mel slid down the wall as tears came to her eyes. They slid one by one down her cheeks as she closed her eyes, the painful memories returning to her. " Why cant i just tell Brian maybe he could help me forget" Mel thought as she slowley stood up and walked out of the room and down the hall. She knocked lightly on Brian's door and waited for him to answer. The door opened and a tired looking Brian stood behind it. " Mel what's wrong?" Brian asked noticing the tears in her eyes that were going to fall. " can I stay in your room tonight? please" Mel asked. " Sure" Brian said as she walked in and he shut the door. He got in and pulled down the covers on the other side so she could get in. Mel got in slowley and laid down. She faced him and kissed his cheek. " thanks Bri" Mel said as she closed her eyes and brian watched her sleep. He closed his eyes and went to sleep just a few minutes later.
