I was sleeping peacefully, until I heard a piercing scream which woke me up. I looked around who was screaming and saw some of the Gladers get up and gather around Chuck to wake him up from a nightmare he is having. I run over to see what's happening.
"Newt, what's going on?" I ask him curiously.
"Chuck's having a nightmare. We're trying to wake him up and calm him down." Newt responds.
Chuck finally wakes up with a scream but then he ends up breathing heavily like he's having a panic attack. Tears start swelling up in his eyes. Alby tries to calm Chuck down.
"Chuck, it's okay. Calm down. It was a nightmare. You're safe, man." Alby soothes him. But he wouldn't calm down.
I remembered that Chuck loved my singing at the bonfire so I came up with a solution that could help.
"Chuck it's okay. Shhh...calm down...listen to my voice...shhhhhh...
La la lu, la la lu
Oh, my little star sweeper
I'll sweep the stardust for you
La la lu, la la lu
Little soft fluffy sleeper
Here comes a pink cloud for you
La la lu, la la lu
Little wandering angel
Fold up your wings close your eyes
La la lu, la la lu
And may love be your keeper
La la lu, la la lu, la la lu"
I sing to Chuck as I try to calm him down. I look down at him and see that he is fast asleep in my arms. I smile at the adorable sight. I lay Chuck down on his hammock carefully and kiss him on the head. I love Chuck so much like as if he were my little brother.
"There now, little star sweeper. Dream on... I promise I'll always keep you safe, Chuck. I promise." I whisper to him with a smile.
As I start to walk back to hammock, I notice Newt watching me.
"Hey...how long have you been standing there...?" I ask him.
"Eh...pretty much during the whole song. But it was really cute that you sang that to him and put him to sleep. Chuck really adores you as if you were his big sister." Newt says with a chuckle.
I chuckle back at the thought. "Yeah, and I love him as if he were my little brother. I pretty much love everybody here, they're all like my family." I say with a smile.
"We all love you, too, Jacqui." Newt replies.
I blush at the compliment.
"Well...goodnight." I say.
"Goodnight, love." Newt also says.
We walk back to our hammocks and go back to sleep.
