I was woken up by Andy stirring in the bed.

I squirmed out of his arms because I didn't want to lay in them all night, completely awake.

I went downstairs to grab some water and looked at the time.

3:00 AM

The Devil's hour, I thought with a smirk.

I finished my water and set my glass in the sink before turning to go upstairs.

I noticed the TV was on and looked in the living room.

"Brendon?" I asked in surprise.

"Oh hey." He turned down the TV volume.

"What are you doing up?" I asked, sitting down on the couch.

"I could ask you the same thing."

"Nightmare."

He nodded, "I couldn't sleep."

"Well I have insomnia and I know that once I wake up in the middle of the night I'm sure as hell not going back to sleep."

"I was just scared someone was going to come in the house again." He sighed.

"What can I do to help you sleep? You need sleep Brendon."

"I know do. I'm just going to go upstairs."

"Well in going to sit by your bed and wait until you go to sleep."

He chuckled, "Stubborn."

I followed him upstairs and sat in a chair next to his bed.

"Could you sing to me?" He asked, turning over in his bed to face me.

"Why?"

"It will help me sleep."

"What song?"

"That song you sang in the park when I first saw you."

"DNA? It's a special song to me. I guess I could sing it."

"Yay!" Brendon said, giving me his full attention.

"Dark as midnight
Six pack Coors Light
You don't look the same

Past my bedtime
Blue and red lights
Come take you away

Hate to see you like a monster
So I run and hide
Hate to ask but what's it like to leave me behind

I won't be, no I won't be like you
Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth
Eyes like yours can't look away
But you can't stop DNA
No, you can't stop DNA

Twice a year, you come in crashing
Nice to see you too
Johnny Cash and backseat laughing
Always ends too soon

Hate to say hello 'cause I know that it means goodbye
Hate to ask but what's it like to leave me behind

I won't be, no I won't be like you
Fighting back, I'm fighting back the truth
Eyes like yours can't look away
But you can't stop DNA
No, you can't stop DNA
