Wonderwall

That night I had a nightmare. I dreamt that I was in a large body of rushing water. I heard my mother calling my name and I frantically search for her. I finally spotted her reaching out for me. I tried to swim to her and almost made it. I touched the tips of her fingers before she was swept away. "Mom! Mom," I screamed before I woke up in a pool of sweat and tears. I was shaking uncontrollably. I reached for the phone and dialed Alex's number.

"Hello," he answered groggily. I immediately recounted my nightmare in between sobs and hiccups. "Oh Rey, I'm so sorry. Are you ok? Do you want me to come over?"

"No, I'll be fine. You go back to sleep, I just wanted to hear your voice."

"Ok, well I'll see you in the morning then. Try and go back to sleep ok?"

"Alright, good night."

"Night."
