Hawthorne Apartment, Early Morning, Gilly, Stone, Poe & Lara via Phone and such
Gilly didn't remember falling asleep. She remembered crying, and laying all the frames in the apartment to keep from having to look at all the pictures. She also remembered thinking over and over about how J was dead and she all the things that were never going to happen.

So now Gilly was awake, have sat bolt upright in her spot along Stone's couch. How had she gotten to Stone's couch? She was breathing pretty heavy and her hair was matted to her face since it was kind of soaked wit sweat. She was also hyperventilating. It didn't take long for Poe, who'd fallen asleep along the other length of the couch, to wake up to Gilly's heavy breathing. Gilly heard her asking if everything was okay in a confused tone. Gilly realized about that that she'd been having a dream - one of those dreams. Her heart wouldn't stop pounding and she felt like she was suffocating.

Poe brushed some of Gilly's hair out of her face, alarmed at the trouble she was having breathing. "Gilly? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" She was highly confused, so she started yelling for Stone.

It took Stone a few moments to groggily appear, eyes half closed, in his pajama pants. "What's going on?" He asked as he flipped on a light, which made him and Poe cringe. Gilly was staring at them, wide-eyed and unable to catch her breath no matter how she breathed at all. Stone blinked at Gilly and then Poe next to her, trying to calm her down, and then moved to grab the cordless from the end table. He dialed Lara's number and waited through some ringing.

	Lara was in some pretty deep sleep when her phone rang, so it took a couple of jingles before she reached for her nightstand blindly. The phone almost fell off the table, but she managed to get a good enough grip on it to bring it to her ear. "...hello?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

Stone was frowning at Gilly. He would've called her sister but her sister was dead now so he called Lara. Wait why did he have to call Lara when she should be...oh. Dreamtown...right. Oh this was fun.

"Gilly's on my couch having a panic attack," He replied once she finally picked up, deciding that calling her 'Bullet' at the moment might not be a good idea. He felt a little panicky himself since he didn't know how he should get Gilly to chill out.

Lara frowned and opened her eyes, suddenly feeling a little panicky herself. "...what? But's she's...and you're..." She sat up and looked at the spot next to her on the bed. Oh. Oh.

Lara's eyes widened and looked forward again as she said quickly, "Call her sister!" It took her a second to realize that her sister might not really be okay, like Stone wasn't after the window thing but Gibson was after the bear clown thing. Crap. "Call her quick and then let me know if she's all right." 'She' meaning both J and Gilly, actually.

Stone blinked, just now realizing that, hey, Gilly's sister might in fact be injured in some way since his injuries had carried over that one time. Too bad Gibson's hadn't. Not the point.

"I don't know what her number is," Stone replied. "Which would be why I called you." He watched as Poe tried to talk calmly to Gilly and ran a hand along Gilly's back but Gilly just kept breathing erratically, one shallow breath in, on long breath out, one long breath in, three shallow exhales. She looked like she was getting lightheaded. Stone wondered if his own panic attacks had even been this scary looking. "I...think she's gonna pass out." He commented.

"That's not very helpful," Poe frowned at Stone before she turned her attention back to Gilly. Stone just shrugged at Poe.

"Smack her or something then?" Stone suggested. That usually helped people rebound from shock or something right?

	Lara frowned further and shook her head. "Dude," she said, a little louder to get Stone's attention. "Call Matt! They live together, 'member?" Lara didn't know J's number by memory, so by the time she figured it out and told Stone, he could have already been on the phone with Matt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh," Yeah Stone wasn't even thinking of the Savage factor. His brain was still asleep and he wasn't thinking clearly, which was exactly why he'd let out that intelligent response and then just stood there, brow furrowed, staring at Gilly. Gilly, by the way, now had her feet on the floor and was leaning forward, hands under the back of her knees and trying to force herself to breathe like a normal person but she seemed to be unable to do just this.

	Lara waited for Stone to give her any more of a response. When he didn't, she shook her head again and said a pointed, "Bye. Let me know if they're all right." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
