I jerked upright at the sound of my name. My head hurt badly and my heart was pounding in my chest. I looked around expecting to see the angry mob. My eyes met green orbs filled with... Worry?
"You were screaming in your sleep" I scratched the back of my head.
"I had a nightmare" he lay me down and got into bed behind me, wrapping his arms around me.
"You don't have to stay with me" he ignored me and switched of the light and I tensed.
"No, please leave it on for a while" he switched it on and pulled me into his chest. I couldn't go back to sleep. I was scared I was going to see worse than what I'd seen in the previous dream.
"Stop worrying. I'm here" he breathed out. I tried to relax. Steadying my breath and thinking of my family until I fell asleep.
