Chapter 49: The Nightmares & Consequences

But I didn’t sleep well and my dreams weren’t pleasant at all. Even though I was wrapped around Alexander and he was holding me tight to his chest.

I still woke up at midnight, screaming out, catching my breath, my face wet from tears and sweat.

I panicked even more when I couldn’t sit up in bed to catch my breath because it felt like someone’s holding my throat in a choke hold.

I totally forgot where I am for a moment and who’s with me, because all I knew that I had to get out of the tight hold that I couldn’t move my body out of & get some fresh air or maybe some water. But Alexander startled up, waking with a panicked; “Bell?” had my heart race increasing for a moment and then slowing down slowly.

I thrusted my fingers into the mess of my hair and a loud sob escaped me while the tears that never stopped falling since that nightmare I had, started falling even faster, rolling down my already wet cheeks.
