Daniel's dad had been missing for a month now, he was pissed at his dad for leaving...for cheating. But he didn't hate him, he still loved him. He'd been more quiet then usual, different ever since he heard the news about his dad. Sure there was a very small chance he was still alive, but not likely. We were in there. There's no way he's still alive. Being in there had also made us both behave differently, he stopped getting into trouble and the both of us had nightmares every other night. Me more than him. I still have trouble falling asleep in my bed, scared that I'll wake up there again, just like last time. I don't even feel safe in my own home...I started sleeping over at his house because it's the only way the both of us can get any sleep.

I wake up in a panick after having another jigsaw dream. I sit up against the headboard looking around the dark room out of paranoia, I know no one's there but I still do it Everytime. I let out a few tears and a breath I didn't realize I had been holding. Daniel turns over in his sleep, he opens his eyes a bit and notices me sitting against the headboard. Daniel was suddenly wide awake and quickly sat up and pulled me close to him. "Another nightmare?" He asks. "Yeah..." "It's okay, I'm here. We're okay now. I'm not gonna let anyone get you." He rubs my back gently. After a while the both of us slowly fall back asleep, this time in each other's arms.
