Chapter 28; just act natural

"Lilly, wake up!" I shot up in panic. I was sweating and I was shaking. I put my hands up to my throat and coughed.

"Are you okay?" Sam asked. Jack and River are here, too. I just looked at them and said nothing. I honestly don't know what to say right now.

"Looks like you had a nightmare or something." River said.

"I..uh, I, it was horrible. It was just, wow." I finally spoke.

"Want to share?" I shook my head.

"I just want to be alone right now. I'm sorry." I apologized. They want to be here for me, but I just want to be alone.

"Hey, don't be sorry. We understand." Jack said and smiled. "Let's go guys." and they left. I lay back down and close my eyes.

"Hello?" Someone knocked. "Who is it?" I replied.
"Um, it's, Alan." my heart raced. Oh god. What do I do? Okay, just act natural. Pretend you didn't have that nightmare.

"Can I come in?" He knocked again. I nod, like he can see me. "Uh, yeah!" He entered. Well, he looks like he recovered quickly.

"Hey, you okay?" He sat on the bed. I say up straight and looked at him.

"I should be asking you that, not you." I chuckle.
"Oh, true. Ha, um, I'm recovering really quickly actually. I'm getting better. Which is good, y'know, I miss performing." he smiles.

"Yeah, I know the feeling." I said. "How come?" He asks. I look at him and began to shake.
"Uh, well I was in that stage where I really had bad depression and I couldn't perform for like months so." I hugged my knees.
"Oh, I'm sorry." he put his hand on my knee.
"It's fine, not your fault." I smiled at him.
"So, what did you dream about?" He laid on my bed.
"Uh, nothing. It's nothing important." I told him.
"If it's not important then why can't you tell me?" He said.
"I forgot what it was about." I panicked.
"Oh. Look, if you don't want to tell me, it's okay." He sighed.
"It's not that Alan, it's just I really don't want to talk about it. I'm sorry." I bit my lip.
"Alright. We'll be outside of you need anything." he kissed my forehead and left.
