Day 27;
@fluffyjuly; Interrupted nightmare - "Do you want to come with me?"
Under the cut
The rest of the night is relaxing, with dinner and a movie. Jamie fell asleep during the movie. The others hope she’ll sleep all night. Ghost carries her to bed.
Once Jamie is in bed, Ghost stands by the bed, uncertain if he should leave. Jamie’s insomnia means he might wake up in the night and find it hard to fall back asleep, as he knows.
With the time being nine at night, Ghost sits at the desk, watching Jamie. He decides he’ll leave at two in the morning. He can handle getting four hours of sleep. Assuming he’ll fall asleep rather than lie in his bed, staring at the ceiling.
At midnight, Ghost is busy with his phone and hears Jamie’s whimpers. Ghost puts his phone on the desk and moves toward the bed. He sits on the bed and puts his hand on Jamie’s shoulder.
“Jamie, wake up,” he says as he shakes her shoulder. “You’re okay; we’re safe.” Ghost continues to attempt to wake Jamie. It takes a few minutes before she wakes up. “You’re ok.”
Ghost is careful as he moves Jamie onto his lap, hugging her. He rocks her back and forth, hoping to comfort her.
Jamie takes a few minutes to calm down. She holds on to Ghost like a lifeline.
“Do you want to come with me? Maybe sleeping with me will help.”
Jamie nods. Her eyes still showed fear from the nightmare. Ghost knows he should have Jamie talk about her nightmare, but he’s concerned about getting her back to sleep.
Ghost carries her to his room.
He lays Jamie in his bed and covers her with the thin blanket he uses for the summer. He lies on top of the blanket.
“Don’t argue.”
Ghost takes her hand, hoping to keep Jamie calm, and she’ll fall asleep. It takes Jamie a bit, but she’s asleep. Ghost sighs, relieved. He rests his head on the pillow and falls asleep, still holding Jamie’s hand, hoping it’ll help her as she sleeps.
