Chapter 16
*Nat*
I started to cry again. Nick was laying back in the bed, gone. Brian ran out to the nurses as I cried on Nick. When Brian came back with some nurses and doctors he pulled me off of Nick and placed me on the couch near by. “Calm down Nat, Nick’s going to be fine.” he said as he rubbed my back and laid me on the couch. I cried as I watched them put all these shots in Nick. And then walk away. Brian looked over at them “Is he going to be okay?” he asked.
“He should be fine. Go to sleep. Since it’s late both of you sleep here.” one of them said.
Brian knelt down next to me. “Go to sleep right here. I’m going to sleep on this chair. If you need anything I’ll be here. Okay?” he said.
“But...” I started to say.
“Go to sleep. Nick’s going to be fine. Nite Nat.”
“Good Nite Bri.” I said as he pulled a cover on me. I slowly feel asleep watching Nick sleeping.
*Nick*
I must of fell asleep or something. Cuz when I woke up, I looked around the room for someone. I found Nat sleeping on the couch and Brian on a chair. Both sleeping. I got up slowly, and walked to Nat. Going behind her I wrapped my arms around her and moved against her. Just so she wouldn’t go.
It was in the middle of the night and Nat started to scream something. Waking me up. I held her tighter and she kept on screaming. “No let me go! Get away from me!”
I started to get scared then. Brian ran to her side as I started to wake her up. “Nat.” I said. When Brian took her hands and pulled her up, waking her right away out of breath.
“What happened?” Nat asked. Trying to catch her breath.
“You had a dream of some sort.” Brian said. Then looking over at me. “You okay Nick?” he asked me.
“Yeah. I think so. Scared me a bit.”
“Why were you over here?” he asked.
“I woke up and found Nat not next to me so I went to her.” I said.
Nat leaned against Brian and looked at me in shock of some sort.
“Nick.. What did I say?” She asked.
“Let go of me! Get away from me.” I said.
“No....” She trailed off and started to cry.
“Nat it’s okay, it was only a dream.” I said going up to her.
“It can’t be. Dreams say something all the time.”
“This one could of been one of those scary dreams that you have.”
“No, Nick it was real. Like someone was coming up to me and...” She said and pulled against Brian’s chest and cried.
“And what?” I asked. Brian rubbed her back as I sat on the floor confused.
“Raped me.” she said as she looked at me square in the eye.
“No one is going to rape you.. I promise you that. I’m going to be here.” I said.
“But what about your consoling?” She asked.
“I’ll have Bri watch you.”
She looked up at him and he nodded. “Alright. Only if you both promise.” She said.
“Cross my heart.” I said.
“Cross my heart.” Brian said.
“Thanks.” She said and hugged Brian and then me.
