"No-no! Please don't do this," I cried out. My voice coming out in stutters.
"Mommy, mommy." I felt a hand on my shoulder making my eyes wrench open.
Trent's figure was hovering over me, worry had taken over his soft features.
He leaned backwards and sat up on the bed when he saw that my eyes were now open.
It was a nightmare! I heaved a breath placing my hand on my chest to calm my frantic heart as I sat up.
I wiped my face with one of my hands and then wrapped the other around Trent.
He peered at me, his deep blue eyes moistened like he was going to break into tears any moment from now.
"Sweetie," I called wrapping my arms around him in a warm embrace.
A smile marred my face as he pulled away to peek at me.
"Are you ok Mom" He asked tears prickling in the corners of his eyes as he cupped my cheeks with his little hands.
I nodded, "Yeah, sweetie. Mommy is fine, sorry I woke you up and made you worry. I was just having a nightmare but now it's all ok." I flashed him a smile, but his brows knitted together.
I knew he wasn't convinced, that expression on his face was nothing new, he always had that look when he was in doubt about what someone had told him.
I sighed and then pulled him closer to me. "See, I'm fine," I smiled taking his hand in mine.
"And also, you shouldn't cry," I muttered wiping the tears that had started to run down his cheeks.
He nodded and his hands draped around me in a hug.
"I love you, Mommy." He purred as he pulled away.
"I know you do sweetie, and I love you more," I mumbled kissing his cheeks.
"Can we go back to bed now?" I arched my brows at him.
"Ok, mom. Goodnight." He smiled and kissed my cheeks before crawling over to the other side of the bed and stretching himself on it.
My lips curved into a smile as I stared at my son, I leaned over and kissed his deep chocolate hair and then pulled the duvet over him.
I was blessed to have Trent, he was the best gift I could ever ask for. I sighed when I glanced at the clock which was hanging on the wall, It was 3:00 am.
I closed my eyes shut trying to go back to sleep but it didn't take a second before I forced them back open as scenes of my nightmare flashed before me. I rubbed the back of my neck and took deep breaths trying to calm myself down even though my eyes were wide open, the scenes of my nightmare didn't leave as they came even clearer. My screams and a distressed voice echoed in my ears, and my chest clenched. I could feel my eyes welling up with tears.
I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before opening my eyes and looking in Trent's direction. He had fallen asleep.
I gulped down breaths to stay quiet not wanting to wake him up again. Swinging my legs to the floor, I scrambled out of bed to the other side of the room where the side table was. I opened the second drawer and took out my meds. I gulped down two tablets after reaching for a glass of water.
Wiping away the beads of sweat that formed on my forehead, I let out a breath. It didn't take long before I felt like a flood had washed down the panic that had taken over me a few minutes ago.
Even though the panic attack was gone, I knew this was the end of my sleep for today. This was the first time I had this nightmare in six months and I had thought that I had already overcome it, but I guess that I still had a long way to go.
Thinking about it, it could be what happened at the bar last night that triggered this nightmare.
Even though that monster was no longer near me, I knew deep down that this nightmare was going to hunt me but how long? That I didn't know.
