I sat up straight, screaming my dream. I groaned as I hurled my legs over the side of my bed. Putting my head in my hands I tried calming myself down and focused on breathing deeply.
I jumped at the banging at the door. I was afraid that my bunk mate might wake up, so I ran to the door and opened it angrily
"What the f.." I started to whisper agitatedly. And I saw it was Aden and relaxed a bit.
"Are you alright?!" He yelled.
"God! Shut up!! You'll wake my bunk mate!!" I whispered hastily, covering his mouth.
"Sorry!" He whispered, "I heard someone scream and I was afraid it was you.." He looked away and flushed.
"Yeah, it was me, I just had a nightmare. I'm okay now though."
"You sure? I could stay for a bit and at least hold you." He began picking at the wood on the door frame.
I thought for a quick moment and squirmed mentally, "Uh, sure. I could probably use comforting right now."
I walked over to my bed, inviting him to lay on it with me. I snuggled up to him and sighed deeply. "Thanks." I murmured into his side.
