CRYSTAL'S POV:
My eyes forced themselves open as I heard Theo's scream emerge from the other room. There were bags under my eyes and I'd gotten hardly any sleep.
I padded my way across the landing quickly and barged into Theo's room, seeing him breathing in with his inhaler, looking sweaty and panicky. He was shaking like mad. I had never seen anything like this before.
"THEO?" I said loudly. "ARE YOU OKAY?"
I sat down next to him in his bed when he didn't reply and pulled him into a hug. He was drooling but I don't think he realised, his eyes were wide and they stared right back at me. I gulped and rubbed his back reassuringly.
"What happened.. Theo?" I said calmly, trying to keep him calm himself. I rubbed his cheek and kissed it like he did to me earlier in the parking lot.
"I-I" he said, still inhaling air. "I-"
"It's okay, take your time.." I said slowly.
He took another gulp of air before he set aside his inhaler on his beside cabinet. He looked back at me and swallowed.
"I had a n-nightmare about-" he began.
He looked like he didn't want to tell me, like if I did hear, it would somehow hurt me.
"About the m-man on t-tv.."
What.
