I’m jolted awake by my body moving forcefully as a groan echoes through the room. I’m disorientated slightly as I wake up and try to take in what’s happening around me. I’m knocked again as Brax thrashes his body around and his hands flail about above him. I sit up watching as he’s clearly asleep but having a nightmare about something horrible. He groans loudly as his body stiffens, the muscles in his neck go so tense and I’m worried they might snap if he doesn’t wake up. He’s sweating profusely and shaking. He groans again then yells something incoherently. His back arches off the bed as his body contorts twisting and writhing like he’s in immense pain. I sit back on my knees and gasp rushing my hand to my mouth watching Brax’s body turn bright red as a stream of sweat beads drip down his crimson body. The noises he’s making are intense, and I start to wonder if he’s having some sort of stroke or something?

“Brax,” I call out not wanting to touch him as he writhes around, his face contorting and tightening like he’s in extreme pain.

Hot tears pool in my eyes watching him, feeling helpless that I have no idea what’s happening.

“Brax, wake up,” I say and grab his shoulder and push him forcefully. His body contorts again and I gasp letting him go in case I’m causing him pain. Tears fall down my cheeks as my heart races so fast it’s pounding practically out of my chest.

“Brax,” I yell this time trying to break through the noises and moans coming from him. It shocks me when he opens his eyes and sits bolt upright panting and breathing hard. I watch him as his eyes come into focus as he looks around the room while I hold myself in shock at his sudden change.

His face is contorted and his eyes are glassy as he looks around the room taking in his setting and then he turns suddenly looking at me and winces.

“Shit, I fell asleep,” he murmurs running his hand through his hair.

I swallow hard and move my hand out to touch his shoulder. He flinches at my touch and his skin is damp and flaming hot. “Are you okay?” I stammer.

He looks at me, his eyes running over every inch of me. “Are you okay?” he asks running his hands over my arms and up my neck like he’s checking for something.

“I’m fine, just worried about you. Do you know what was happening to you?” I ask and he exhales and stands up from the bed pacing the floor and rubbing the back of his neck.

“Did I hurt you?” he asks pain ripping through his voice.

“What? Brax, no. But what was that?” I ask and his body slumps like he’s relieved and he exhales turning to face me.

“I’m sorry you saw what you did. I’m just glad I woke before…” he stops and looks past me, his eyes glazing over and his jaw clenched tight.
