Emily's POV

I wake up suddenly. I look around me and see West laying next to me in the bed. I smile before kissing him gently on the cheek. Carefully not to wake him up

He moves a bit in sleep, a smile plastered on his face

I look at the clock. 3:10 am. There's no way I'm going back to sleep now

I get up and go downstairs. It's really dark in here. I turn on the lights

I take a glass out of a cupboard, fill it with water and then take
a sip

As I drink the water I notice a shadow but I can't see it clearly. It must have been my imagination

I make my way to the stairs when suddenly I trip on something, or someone. I fall to the ground. My head hurting it really hard

The last thing I see before I black out, is the same shadow that I saw before, looking down at me

If only I hadn't left West side...

I wake up suddenly, eyes wide open and my breathing fast

I take a moment to relax and look beside me. West is still there, sleeping. I let out a breath.

For a few moments I sit there just watching him sleep. I stand there smiling like a idiot. I pull myself closer to him and close my eyes trying to fall back asleep. Doesn't work. So I just try to relax

*************

About an hour later, I feel West beginning to stir beside me

I turn my head to look at him and see that he's looking back at me

"Hey" I tell him quietly, he's still a bit asleep

"Hey"

He puts his arms around me

"How long have you awake?" He asks me then place a small kiss on my cheek

"About an hour. I had a nightmare."

"A nightmare? About what?!" He asks curious

"I don't really know, it was kinda of weird!" I says laughing

"West's weird or Emily's weird?

I break into fit of laughters

"Normal people's weird" I say

I turn around and kiss him slowly on the lips

He falls down on the bed

"What time is it?" He asks

I look at the clock

"10:35"

"Wanna go downstairs?" I ask him

"Sure, let's go!"

He tries to get up but I pin him down on the bed. I put my arms around his neck, lay my head on his bare chest and close my eyes. He smells so good.
