'I'm so sorry.' James muttered when Adam entered his room again.
'It's okay, it's not your fault.' Adam replied.
'I know, but still. I'm keeping you up every night. I don't know how you keep up with me.' The blonde whispered, tears appearing in his eyes.
'I care about you, James. I care about you a lot. As long as you're having trouble, I'll be here to help you out.' Adam said, putting an arm around the blonde's shoulder.
'I care about you too, Adam. That's why I feel so bad about it. I'm ruining your sleep.' James muttered.
A beat of silence went between them as both worried about the other.
'I have an idea. I'm not sure if it'll work, but we can try.' Adam said eventually.
'I wanna try it. I wanna try everything that'll help with these nightmares.' James replied.
'Okay, in that case, get up and put on a jacket or something.' Adam commanded as he walked over to the door.
'Are we going outside?' James asked.
'Yep.' Adam replied, walking over to his own room to look for a hoodie to keep him warm outside.
'I know you sometimes like to get donuts at 3am, but I don't think that's the answer to my nightmare problem.' The blonde muttered.
'We're not going to get donuts.' Adam laughed as he got back to James's room, now wearing his red common sense hoodie.
'Okay, I trust you.' James said with a tired smile.
Remi has always loved the forest, the different sounds, smells, the way she could get lost in it and never have to go home to her non-existent parents. She goes in and out of her life with her best friend everyday just waiting until they're both old enough to leave their small boring town. But one day Remi is attacked, and nearly killed, by a man in the forest. When she wakes up everything's different. She feels something inside her, a power, but she has no idea what happened to her. All she remembers is the man's strange yellow eyes. When three new boys show up at her school, one with yellow eyes, asking her question she gets nervous. And then one night while heading to go get her friend she's taken and thrown into a world she didn't know existed.

"Remi?" Jen says suddenly.
"Hmm?" I hum back.
"Do you ever wish you could just live in the forest? Away from everyone and everything?" She looks at me. "Free." We stare at each other for a long time. I see the real meaning in Jen's eyes. Her worries for going home to her overly strict parents. Her fears for the future and the unknown in general.
"If we lived in the forest we wouldn't have gummy bears any more." I comment to lighten the mood. She doesn't find it funny.
"I'm serious Remi! What if we did run away?"
"Jen, we can't just run away. I know your parents are strict but I truly think they just want what's best for you." She says nothing. For a moment I fear she's mad at me but then she puts her head on my shoulder and I know we're okay.
