"Wake up, you're just dreaming," Andreas shook the girl's body even harder this time.

This time he succeeded because the girl began to open her eyes.

"Are you okay? You had a bad dream," it was only after the question left his lips that he realized it was a stupid question. Of course the girl was not okay. She was crying and her body was now shaking violently from shock.

Andreas panicked slightly as the girl's cries grew louder and began to make it difficult for her to breathe. Andreas wanted to call a nurse to calm her cries but he knew there was nothing the nurses could do other than administer a sedative.

Andreas sighed. He really did not know how to soothe someone who had a nightmare.

When the girl started coughing, Andreas finally stood up from his seat and did the only thing he could think of at that moment. He lay down beside the girl and patted her back lightly. The girl seemed a little surprised, but she didn't push him away.
