Chapter 50: Nightmares & The Punishment

But I didn’t sleep well and my dreams weren’t pleasant at all. Even though I was wrapped around Alexander he was holding me tight to his chest.

I still woke up at midnight, screaming out, catching my breath, my face wet from tears and sweat.

I panicked even more when I couldn’t sit up in bed to catch my breath because it felt like someone’s holding my throat in a chokehold.

I forgot where I was for a moment and who was with me because all I knew was that I had to get out of the tight hold that I couldn’t move my body out of & get some fresh air or maybe some water. But Alexander startled up, waking with a panic; “Bell?” had my heart race increasing for a moment and then slowing down slowly.

I thrust my fingers into the mess of my hair and a loud sob escaped me while the tears that never stopped falling since that nightmare I had, started falling even faster, rolling down my already wet cheeks.
