Abby wakes up to the sound of creaking floorboards once again.
Honestly, she has no idea how Mike thinks she doesn't hear him. He's been doing this more and more lately, getting up in the dead of night to pace around the house.
Is he having nightmares too? She can't imagine how he wouldn't, after the events that went down at Freddy's.
Abby tries to drown out the sound of his footsteps, closing her eyes and squeezing her stuffie a little tighter. Unfortunately, all she can think about is her brother.
His eyebags have become more prominent lately. He's always been tired, for as long as she could remember. But now, he's at a whole 'nother level.
She thinks back to yesterday, how he nearly fell asleep at the wheel while picking her up to school. And the day before that, when she caught him dozing off at the dinner table, cheek in his mashed potatoes.
Okay, that had actually been kind of funny. But this is serious. How could she help him? Every time she brings up anything related to sleep, he brushes her off. Says he's "just tired". Adults are such bad liars. Or at least, Mike is.
Abby tosses and turns in bed, made increasingly restless by the sound of her brother's footsteps in the hall. Ugh, if she wants to get some sleep, she's going to have to fix things herself, isn't she?
Huffing and throwing off the covers, she slides out of bed and makes her way out into the hall. Mike whips around at the sound of the door opening, but his face softens when he realizes it's just her. Who else would it be? He's so silly.
"Abs, what are you doing up?" He asks, hand nervously scratching at the back of his neck.
"Had a nightmare." Abby blinks up at her brother, giving him her best pitiful look. It's not hard to do, she really is tired.
Mike sighs and scoops her up into a tight hug, wrapping his arms around her protectively.
"Can I sleep in your bed tonight?" She asks, tilting her head up to look into his eyes, cheek against his chest.
"Y-Yeah, sure." He stammers out a response, obviously surprised by the request. Abby doesn't blame him. She hasn't asked to sleep in his bed since she was... what, five? Six?
Still, he picks her up and carries her into his bedroom. Abby is perfectly capable of walking the ten or so steps to his bed, but she just lets it happen. Mike needs to think he's the one helping her, or else this isn't going to work.
"You need anything? Want me to grab one of your stuffed animals?" Mike asks, throwing his comforter over her.
"No, I'm fine." Abby wraps an arm around her brother as he crawls under the covers with her, lying her head on his shoulder.
Mike reaches over and starts to play with her hair. He hasn't done that in a looong time. She's missed it.
Abby just hums softly, letting Mike pretend he's doing her a favor. Well, maybe he is. Just a bit.
Eventually, his hand goes limp and he drifts off to sleep.
He's so lucky he has a little sister to take care of him.
