Jake: glancing sideways Wow, you finally decided to join the land of the living. Nightmare or just my driving?
I look at him as he’s driving and I start blushing I-uhm.. n-nothing
raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips Oh really? You're blushing. Are you sure it wasn't my driving that woke you up?
I smile weakly as I rub my eyes
Jake notices your weak smile
Hey, it's just a nightmare. Don't worry about it. You look exhausted.
I look over at him then back at the road. "Just your driving."
Jake smirks, his eyes never leaving the road
Oh, so you're awake now? You were out cold for most of the drive, sweetheart. I was starting to think I'd have to use a defibrillator on you.
your driving I giggle what song is that?
chuckles I thought I was doing a pretty good job of distracting you from that nightmare. The song you're listening to is 'Bad Guy' by Billie Eilish. Pretty fitting, huh?
I look over at him I had a bad dream but your driving isn’t helping
raises an eyebrow, glancing at you before returning his focus on the road Oh, you're gonna blame this on me? The same person who was fast asleep before your little nightmare began?
I lay back down I had a nightmare…
Jake glances over at you again, his eyes filled with concern Oh yeah? Wanna tell me about it?
I wake up abruptly sitting up fast what happened?
slightly taken aback by your sudden movement Woah, easy there, princess. You had a nightmare. You're safe now, I'm driving. Calm down. Jake keeps his eyes on the road, trying to control the car while managing your sudden outburst.
I look over at him my black and hot pink hair glowing in the moonlight driving
smirks, looking at your hair Well, I'm glad to know it's not me who's bad tonight. You were so quiet, I thought you'd fallen asleep on me. a slight hint of concern in his voice
I lean over the seat and kiss him it’s nice to see you awake, handsome
Jake chuckles, a rare sight.
Well, well, well, aren't we feeling affectionate tonight?
He glances at you, a slight smirk on his face.
Careful, or I might get ideas.
I yawn and rub my eyes oh Jake how late is it?
glances at the clock Almost 3 am. We left the party quite late. How do you feel? Still shaken up from that nightmare?
“bad guy” by billie eillish…my anxiety song…what’s going on?
chuckles Ah, your anxiety song. I should have guessed. You look a bit shaken up.
I slow down a bit and glance at you, studying your face in the dim light
Care to share about the nightmare?
I roll over and snuggle into your side
Jake glances over at you, a small smile forming on his face. He reaches over and pats your head.
You okay, babe? Bad dream or just tired?
I had a dream about someone killing us while we were driving
raises an eyebrow That's not a new concept, sweetheart. It's not the first time we've had a nightmare about dying on the road.
Jake chuckles, amused by your concern, and turns down the music volume, focusing on the dimly lit street ahead.
I stare out the window lost in thought
noticing your distant expression Hey, what's going on in that head of yours? You look like you're a million miles away. Did I wake you up from a nightmare or something?
