Pretty Little Liars One Shot

Sleep shouldn't be a chore. Sleep should be the place of peace and relaxation, the place that gives you a break from the hustle and bustle of the daytime that you had to go through. That wasn't the case for you though.

You had wanted to have a restful slumber to only be awoken by the morning sun streaming through the curtains covering your windows. That wasn't what occurred though. You had wished it were though, as what had actually happened wasn't overly appealing or pleasant.

Rather than the light waking you, now fully refreshed from a night's sleep, you were shook into consciousness.

When you had fallen asleep, you had left your boyfriend Caleb to sleep on the sofa, but as your eyes opened you saw his face looking over you. He looked concerned, far more concerned than he had ever seemed before. A layer of sweat coated your body, forcing the sheets to cling to your damp flesh. As you tried to look around, you realised you couldn't see too well due to the darkness of the night still surrounding you.

"Y/N, you're okay," he whispered pulling you close so that you sat up in your bed. "It was just a nightmare."

Instantly the fiction that you had formed in your head through the night came flooding back forcing tears to start cascading down your cheeks. All the images flowing through your mind terrified you, forcing you back into the hell you had been going through as you slept earlier.

"You're going to be okay," he whispered, sitting down next to you so that he could hold you close in his arms. "It wasn't really. It wasn't real."

It took you a few moments to go back to reality, to realise that you were safe in the arms of your boyfriend.

"Thank you Caleb," you smiled softly, wiping away the tears from your cheeks having now calmed down somewhat.

"You're welcome," he said gently, pressing a kiss to your forehead. "I'm going to go back to the sofa so you can get some more rest."

Caleb went to pull away from you so he could return back to his bed that had been made up on the sofa. Quickly you grabbed hold of his wrist to stop him from leaving the room.

"Please stay," you whispered in a pained tone. "I don't want to be alone."

It took him a moment to hesitate before he scooted into the bed so that he could lay by your side and keep his arms wrapped around you allowing the two of you to fall asleep.
