We moved, once more, into Josh's room. For a few days he did nothing but sleep, curled tightly in a ball against my arm.

Now, though, the nightmares were worse.

'Come back!'

Sometimes, I couldn't wake him up. I just had to... listen.

'SIMON!'

It was worth it, though, when he was awake. It seemed like he was just Josh, same as ever.

'Didn't you miss me?'

We laughed, and talked, all of our feelings obviously still in tact- but we still hadn't kissed.

'I wish you loved me.'

I didn't know if he wanted to wait, or if he felt like we had to, but it just hadn't happened. It was very much flirtatious, but that was all.

I didn't realise how damaged he really was until I sat through his nightmare-torn sleep.

'SIMON! Don't leave me in the dark...'

It only made me more willing to stay.
