Liam Dunbar “A walking nightmare”

You felt his restless arm resting around your waist. His sweating body was pressed against yours and you could even feel him trembling next to you. “Liam…” You whispered, but he didn’t react. “Liam?” You tried to turn around in his arms and saw how his wide open eyes were checking the entire room over and over. “Are you okay?” You pressed a hand on his cheek and Liam placed his hand on yours.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m okay…” His voice was trembling and you could still see his eyes going everywhere.
“Liam, please…” You paused for a short second and moved a little bit closer towards him. “Don’t lie to me, you don’t have to lie to me.” You took a deep breath and saw how he turned around, staring at the open window. “Do you want me to turn the light on?” You spoke softly and Liam nodded, turning his head away from you to avoid the judging look he was probably expecting.
“Did you have a nightmare?” You placed your hand on his back, but he didn’t turn back to you, didn’t dare to look at you. “Liam…” Your voice broke and you saw how he swallowed, his eyes staring straight into yours.
“They’re coming for me…” His voice was trembling, his entire body shaking and shivering. “The berserkers, I’m sure they’re coming for me…” A tear escaped his eyes and you wrapped your arms around him, just to be sure checking his bedroom yourself right before kissing his forehead.
“Why would they come for you?” Your voice started to tremble too. The dead pool was a way too fresh memory, the number behind his name too. You had not been seeing what he had seen, but you had seen his pale white face, had heard the stories over and over again, until they had started to scare you too.
“Because I’m Scott’s…” He paused for a moment. “Everyone is after Scott and now they’re after me too…” He cried in your arms and you tried to stay calm, tried to stop trembling, tried to stop shaking.
“But Scott isn’t with you, right?” You tried, tried coming up with something, something that would stop his nightmares, his visions.
“Maybe they want me too.” He buried his face in your neck and you swallowed again, shaking when you heard a sound, feeling how Liam froze next to you. “What is that sound?” He tried to ask and you shook your head, not feeling really safe too.
“It’s nothing, it has to be nothing.” You carefully stepped out of the bed and turned on the big light, standing still for a moment to listen again. “I don’t hear anything, you?” You watched how Liam sat up, concentrating on everything he could hear.
“Nothing, I hear nothing.” He sighed relieved and fell back into the pillows and you ran back to the bed to curl yourself up in his arms. “Can we sleep with the lights on?” Liam pressed a kiss on your cheek and you nodded.
“Of course we can…”
