I never thought I could scream so loud in my life.

"Jess! Jess!" I hear my aunt voice as she shakes me trying to wake me up "wake ups!" I hear her cry but all I can do is scream and jerk away from her

"Help me!" I scream to no one

I hear a door bell go off a million times.

"Jess sweetheart you have to wake up!" I hear Lora, she keeps doing everything she can to wake me but I can't stop crying

I hear someone downstairs and I know it's her it's miss Watson she's going to kill me.

"Open your eyes" Lora keeps trying

"What's going on" I hear Felix frantic voice come closer

"She's having a night terror" aunt Lora says through tears

I open my eyes and I still feel like miss Watson going to pop up and hurt me and aunt Lora "she's coming!" I scream

Felix comes closer cautiously and sits on my bed in front of me and slowly grabs my face with his hands gently "she's not here. No ones going to hurt you" he says in a tone that I've never heard from him

But I can't stop crying as I replay that night over and over in my head.

He gives me a hug and I grab a hold of him tight as if he's my lifeline, and I keep crying until there's no more tears left and then nothing,just darkness.

I wake up with a pounding headache and see aunt Lora at the end of my bed, she must sense I'm awake because she immediately wakes up and sits up.

"Are you okay?" She asks me and I can see she's been crying

"What happened?" I ask because my head is throbbing so I can't even think

She gives me a sad look "you have a bad night terror last night"

I try my best to remember and I do bits and pieces of it. Miss Watson! I try not to think about it too much or else I'll start crying again because it felt so real.

"I'm sorry" I tell her, feeing bad for making her worry

"What was it about?" She asks me

"Miss Watson" is all I say and she knows why

I see a tear leave her eye and she hugs me "you did what you had too do" she tells me

I keep telling myself that but it doesn't make it any easier.

She lets go of me and gives me a small smile. "Do you remember anything else?"

"No" I shake my head

"Felix heard you screaming from next door and he basically broke down the door to get to you" she tells me

"He did?" I say not really remembering

"Yeah he held you in his arms most of the night while you cried" she says giving me a small smile

"O" I say remembering a little now
