Taylor shot up with a gasp, it was the first night in forever that she or any of the group had been able to get sleep, and of course she had a nightmare. Tears brimmed the girls eyes, her terrible dream replayed in her mind.

Her brother Tyler got up from his own bed, "Tay? Are you alright?" he questioned, his tone laced with concern. Taylor didn't respond, she hugged her knees close to her chest and squeezed her eyes shut. Tyler grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

Meanwhile with Ashlyn, her eyes slowly opened upon hearing her phone ring, she groaned and sat up. The girl rubbed her eyes and grabbed her phone, she picked up the call and put the phone to her ear. "Hello?.." she said, her voice somewhat deep due to being half awake.

"Ash, it's Tyler.. Taylor had a nightmare I think and she won't say anything. Can you come over and help?" Tyler explained from the other end of the phone, Ashlyn's eyes widened slightly and she exhaled, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Yeah.. I'll be there in a few." she said, already getting out of bed and putting her shoes on.

"Thanks." Tyler said, Ashlyn hummed in response and hung up. She laced her shoe and grabbed her jacket, Ashlyn climbed out her bedroom window and began her walk to the twins house. She knew she'd be in trouble with her parents in the morning but she didn't mind, Taylor was more important.

In a few short minutes, Ashlyn made it to Tyler and Taylor's house. The girl pulled out her phone and texted Tyler saying she was here, after all she didn't want to wake up their mother. A minute later, the door opened and revealed Tyler on the other side.

He moved to his left and let the girl in, she greeted him and walked in. "So what's wrong with Taylor?" Ashlyn questioned, she heard the story over the phone but wanted to be sure. "I think she had a nightmare.. we were perfectly fine and then she shot up from her bed, she was crying." Tyler explained, leading Ashlyn to their shared room while he talked.

Ashlyn nodded in understanding, Tyler opened the door to the bedroom and Ash walked in, Taylor was in the same position she'd been in since she woke up. The girl didn't even react when the door to the bedroom opened. She felt the bed dip and the additional weight of another person.

"Love?" Ashlyn said, her tone quiet and reassuring. Taylor still didn't move, Ashlyn frowned a bit. "Tay, what happened?" She questioned, Taylor stayed silent before leaning over and wrapping her arms around the shorter girl. She buried her face in Ashlyn's chest, said girl was caught off guard but nonetheless wrapped her arms around Taylor.

"Nightmare.. phantoms.. first Tyler.. then you, I-I tried to help.. I swear I did! I was the only one left." Taylor choked out between jagged breaths and quiet sobs, Ashlyn hushed her and rubbed her back.

"Easy, sweetheart.. I'm here. Your brother is here, we're okay." Ashlyn said, her tone was delicate and comforting. The girl brought her hand up to brush her fingers through Taylor's hair.

"..I'm sorry." Taylor said, her voice barely above a whisper. Ashlyn looked down at her, "why are you apologizing dear?" she pondered. The taller girl stayed silent for a moment before speaking, "for waking you and Tyler up.. this is one of the only nights we've been able to get actual sleep and I ruined it." Taylor explained, she felt guilty for something that was out of her control.

Ashlyn stayed quiet for a moment, she exhaled and leaned down to leave a gentle kiss on Taylor's forehead. "You didn't ruin anything, that nightmare was out of your control Tay. You know I'd drop everything to be here as soon as possible no matter the circumstances."

Taylor calmed down a bit, Ashlyn always had a way of calming her down with nothing but words. "Tell you what, how about I stay the night here with you?" Ashlyn suggested, Taylor paused for a moment before nodding her head slowly. "Yes please."

Ashlyn smiled a bit and Taylor removed herself from the smaller girl. Ash took her shoes off and placed them neatly at the foot of the bed. Tyler was already fast asleep and snoring lightly.

After getting settled, Taylor and Ashlyn bundled together under the warm blankets, Ashlyn being the little spoon and Taylor being the big spoon as usual. "Thanks Love.." Taylor whispered, "for what?" Ashlyn questioned. The taller girl went silent for a second, "for helping me." she said.

Ashlyn laughed a bit under her breath and buried her face in the crook of Taylor's neck. "Of course, doll. You know I'll always be here." she replied, her voice soft and barely above a whisper. A smile made an appearance on Taylor's face and the girl slowly closed her eyes.

She always felt safe with Ashlyn, because she knew that no matter what, Ashlyn would always be there for her.
