Who: Charlie and Davia
When: very early Wednesday morning
Where: their bedroom
What: Charlie wakes up from a bad dream
Charlie's nightmare came to an abrupt halt in his victim's absence. He bolted upright in bed and immediately started crying. He was shaking with fear. It always felt so real. It used to be that when he had a bad dream, he'd run to check on Maggie straight away, just to make sure she was safe. But he knew better these days. Instead, he turned to Davia and laid back down, wrapping his arms around her. She always made things better.
"Davia?" he whispered, his voice trembling, "I had another nightmare." He didn't like waking her up, but he needed her right now. It had been a rough week for Charlie, which was probably why his dreams were worse than usual. Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, and 9/11... they all upset him a great deal. He was always thinking about his friends who had died in war, but he thought about them even more at these times.
