Six The Musical One Shot

Nightmares haunted you through every night, forcing you awake and limiting you on the rest that you would be able to find. If you were lucky, you would be able to find some rest, getting a short amount of sleep before you would be awoken either by your fear or sorrow from your nightmare of your girlfriend Jane waking you due to your reactions in your sleep. Tonight, was the same as every night you had been forced to face in recent time.

Horrors filled your mind, haunting you through the night, trapping you in your own mind, unable to wake to see the night and the positivity that existed in the real world. You had become used to being victim to the darkness of your own mind, but solace was found when Jane shook your shoulders to awaken you.

"It's okay," she smiled weakly through the candlelight, wrapping her arms around you. "You are going to be okay."

Jane told you of how your crying and thrashing in your sleep had woken her up, so she was able to save you from the thoughts that trapped you in the night.

"I didn't mean to wake you," you croaked, trying to feign calm, not wanting to worry the woman whom you loved.

"I do not mind," she assured you. "I'd rather be here to comfort you in the middle of the night than know you suffered in silence."

She kept hold of you and kept reminding you that everything would be okay until your breathing became normal and your tears began to seize. You didn't truly believe that things were going to be okay, that the nightmares would stop and you could have a restful night but you were just grateful to have her there to try and make you feel better.

"I'm sorry that you cannot sleep well," she said softly.

"It's easier with you beside me," you admitted. "The nightmares are still there and I do not know how to rid myself from them but I am glad that they are not as bad and I am able to be restful if I have you laying by my side."

Jane smiled warmly, pressing her lips to your forehead as she guided you back down to lie in bed. You didn't want to go back to sleep as you knew that the nightmares would be back again but it was somewhat reassuring to know if you needed her then Jane would be there to assist you.
