"Dad don't run the red light" I yell
"Why honey? We'll be fine" he says smiling
"Dad you're going to kill us" I am afraid
"No honey you won't die" he reassures me with a bright smile
"Relax honey" my mom says and she rubs my shoulder
All of a sudden the car collides with a truck. The car rolls and I scream.
"DAD!"
He is bleeding and so is mom. I manage to get out of the car and I stagger about. I feel hot tears escape my eyes and flow down my cheeks.
"Help" I yell
Suddenly there is no one around and we are by ourselves.
"Help! Somebody help me" I yell
Noone comes into view. Helplessly I fall to the ground and hold my mother in my arms and I just scream as tears continue flowing.
"Help me!"
The scenery changes and I'm in a hospital identifying my parents I scream and cry hard in the doctors arms. Then I fall...
"Erin it's just a dream. Its just a dream" he says
I open my eyes and notice I'm in James arms. He must have heard me. This is the third time he woke me up this week. My nightmares are getting worse. Now I'm in the car and I experience the crash then all of a sudden I'm safe and they are not. I wipe my eyes and turn to him.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm okay" I answer
"Do you want me to stay?" he asks
"No it's fine" I say and he walks out
After an hour of pacing around I finally calm down and return to bed.

I wake up in a good mood and get ready for the day. I decided that I wouldn't let these nightmares ruin my days, they already ruin my nights. I choose to wear shorts and a large T-shirt. It was hot after all. I walk out of my room and make my way downstairs. I hear distant chatter so I walk faster.
At the bottom of the stairs I hear Mrs Smith. I run to hug her and she just giggles.
"Hey Erin" she said
"Hey Mrs Smith" I respond still hugging her.
At that moment I notice my parents laughing behind us. I let go off her and I turn to my parents and greet them they respond accordingly and I join Mrs Smith on the couch.
"So Erin, how are you?" She asks
"I am okay. You weren't lying when you said I would be okay" I answer and she smiles
"I am glad you came to see me" I say cheerily
"Well I have to pop in once in a while to check how you are doing. Take me up to your room" she says
I look at my mom and she says
"Go" I smile and I take Mrs Smith to my room.
"Okay so this is it." I say as I open the door.
JAMES POV
I wake up to feminine giggles irritated I choose to get up anyway. Walking to the stairs I notice Erin is sitting with some woman I've never met. I wanted to intrude but I decided not to they seemed to be having a serious conversation. I didn't want to walk in something that would explode in my face.
I notice mom and dad sitting on the couch looking a little pale.
"Are you guys okay?" I ask concerned
"Yeah we are" mom responds
"Why are you pale then?" I ask grabbing a water from the fridge
"Well Mrs Smith is here and we just want everything to go well" dad answers
"Mrs Smith?" I question
"Yes dear" she responds from the bottom stairs
"This must be the infamous James" she says and Erin giggles
"Well Mrs Smith you know me but I don't know you" I roll my eyes
"Well I am here to check on Erin its protocol" she says
Still confused I nod then Erin says
"She's from CPS and came to check if I was doing good"
"Of course you are, you moved in with rich people" I state
"For your-"
"I guess I'm lucky" Erin dismisses what Mrs Smith was to say. She walks Mrs Smith down the stairs and they join mom and dad. Feeling left out I start to head to my room. I stop when I hear Mrs Smith start speaking...
"I'm glad Erin is in a better state of mind than she was back then. She seems to be settling in well meaning you are taking care of her well. She hasn't lost any weight if anything she gained weight that's a good sign. That tragedy that seemed to have claimed her life is behind her. We talked about it." Mrs Smith said
Tragedy? What's happened?
"Oh honey" my mom said as she moved over to hug Erin.
So she's not going to tell them about the nightmares she has every night, that cause her to walk around her room for an hour before returning to bed. She's just going to filter out that she screams and cries in her sleep. She's just going to lie. To lie that everything is okay when she isn't. Her state of mind is far from okay that I can assure you. I find myself enraged at her actions about her nightmares. I will deal with her later.
After a while I walk to her room to ask her why she lied.
I knock softly on her door and she opens it.
"Can I come in?" I ask
"Sure" she says with a juice pack in her mouth.
Sitting on her bad I decide to get straight to it.
"Did you tell her?"
"Tell her what?" She asks
"About your nightmares" I simply state
"No" she answers
"Why?" I question
"Because I don't want them to dominate my life. They already steal my sleep I don't want them to steal my joy. I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of taking time from my day." She protests
"Erin you need help" I breathe out
"I need help? Says the bipolar guy" she chuckles
"What the fuck Erin" why does she always have to piss me off
