WARNING: TRAMA/CUSS WORDS

My sleep was plagued with nightmares.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was back at the hospital surrounded by Bea, Cody, Nick, Sarah, and my family. Bea growled,

"Who would want to be friends with a worthless junior like you?"

I looked to see if she was joking,

"Bea?"

Cody grunted in agreement,

"You were never our friend, we just wanted to string you along until you realized, but seems your too dumb to realize it."

"What are you saying, Cody."

Nick sneered,

"Who would want to help you, I think you deserved every beating you ever got."

I felt my heart sink as tears pooled in my eyes,

"Why Nick?"

Sarah didn't have an expression on her face as she spoke,

"I'm sorry kid they got away, you have to go home to them."

"No! You said I wouldn't have to go back to them! You lied to me! Just like everyone else!"

My Dad grabbed my arm, I grabbed, holding onto the bed,

"Not again, I don't want to be near you guys."

I struggled against my dad's grip,

"Let me go!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

My eyes snapped open to see Nick holding me. I felt my eyes were wet from crying, I couldn't tell if this was still a dream. I quickly pushed myself away from Nick. I could only hear Nick's words ringing in my ears, over and over again, until they roared in my head

Who would want to help you? Who would want to help you? Who would want to help you?

I heard Nick's voice through the noise,

"Axle! Hey, what's wrong? AXLE!"

My breath was ragged as I backed away from Nick. I still hadn't realized it was a dream, his voice as ragged,

"Stay away... you're just like all of them aren't you?"

Nick slowly edged his way off the couch,

"Axle, you were having a nightmare, whatever you saw wasn't real."

I stopped moving away, a dream? I wiped my eyes,

"Oh."

"How are you feeling?"

I tried to smile,

"I'm okay."

"Bullshit."

I looked up to an angry Nick.

"Nick I'm fine."

Nick glared at me and slowly pulled me into a hug,

"Shut up."

I buried my face into Nick's sweatshirt but couldn't bring myself to hug him back. I didn't want to cry in front of Nick again.

"Axle, you can cry if you want. Don't bottle that up."

A lump formed in my throat as tears brimmed my eyes,

"I don't want to cry."

Nick hugged me tighter,

"Just cry it out, you'll feel better."

I weakly hugged Nick and tears rolled down my cheeks. Nick pulled me into his lap so I could be comfortable. I felt safe, if that was even possible for me, my breathing had gone back to normal once I had stopped crying. I felt my head thunk against Nick's chest as I drifted into sleep.

I hated whoever gave out nightmares cause they must've had it out for 

me. I was standing back in my house where my family glared at me. I was struck across the face by my brother,

"How dare you."
