Dreaming with a Broken Heart

(Matilda's POV)

"Get away from me!" I scream, 4 guys in masks have me cornered in a dark room there all wearing masks and their eyes glow red. One puts his hand over my mouth and the others grab my arms and legs, I bite the hand over my mouth and the guys curses.

"You are going to regret that!" He threatens, his voice is gravelly and low. He pulls a knife out of his back pocket and drags across my stomach opening a large gash. I scream so loud that I could shatter glass, the one man grabs me by the shoulders and stars shaking me. (End of the dream)

My eyes fly open and Tom is standing over top of me, with a look of concern on his face. He's wearing pyjama pants and no shirt

"What happened?" I ask sitting up, I glance over at my clock, it's 3:30 in the morning. "I was screaming wasn't I?"

"Yes, yes you were. Care to tell me what you were screaming about?" I explain what happened in my dream, Tom just stood there and listened the whole time, "well tomorrow we are going to go to the therapist, because as much as I love you I like sleep to. But for now why don't you move over." I shuffle to the other side of my bed, the sticky sheets cling to my legs. Tom lays down beside me and wraps his arms around me, I place my head on his chest and focus on the wall.

"Could you sing something?" I ask Tom, he glances down at me the looks up at the ceiling.

"When your dreaming with a broken heart
Waking up is the hardest part
You roll out of bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really hear
Is she standing in my room?

No she's not
'Cus she's gone gone gone gone gone

When your dreaming with a broken heart
Giving up is the hardest part

She takes you in with her crying eyes
And all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering. Could you stay my love?
Will you wake by my side?

No she can't
'Cause she's gone gone gone gone gone

Now do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands,
Would you get them if I did?

No you won't
Cus your gone gone gone gone gone

When your dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part."

Tom finish the song and coughs gently "you should get some sleep Mal. You've had a long week." He strokes my hair.

"I don't want to sleep, my mind has the capability of being dark and demented."

"Your afraid of your dreams."

"Not afraid, I'm horrified I close my eyes and each time I wake up screaming" Tom leans down and kisses the top of my head,

"No matter how scary it gets I'm always going to be here for you Matilda."

"Promise?" I ask

"Promise"

When I woke up the next morning I felt emotionally drained. I fell asleep with my head on Toms chest he was gone I'm guessing he woke up early and went for a run. I decided to stretch because I haven't done that in a while. I got out of bed and changed my clothes. I put on a purple bodysuit and shorts, I turned on some music and started with my stretching routine, I stretched my calfs, ham strings, and quads I stretched all 3 of my splits and my back. When my ab song came on I started doing crunches and bicycle crunches. When I finished I was all sweaty, but I didn't want to shower so I grabbed my phone and went down stairs, I found a note from Tom and the counter,
