HAPPINESS WE SEEK FOR

Chapter 7

Elia manage to sleep for an hour before she get awoken by her own nightmares

She jolts awake, gasping for air as she immediately got up from her bed in a daze with her eyesight blurred a little as she just notice she have tears in her eyes and she's actively crying

She couldn't comprehend where she's going as she made her way out of her trailer

But she knows she's entering someone's trailer

"Eliana?"

A voice that she knows all too well, a voice that always sooth her and comfort her, keeping her calm

Mama's voice. She and Seb got awake when they heard their trailer door got open and heard someone's coming in with noise of clattering since Elia didn't come in with much silent as she was too distraught to know what's she's doing

"Hey Baby, I'm right here Baby" Mama has somehow up from her bed and went in front of Elia in a flash noticing how distraught the girl were, cupping her cheek softly

Elia let out a whimpering sound before her knees giving up and before she could fall to the floor, Mama supported her and take her by the armpits to carry her and put her in bed

Daddy make some space as Mama put the girl in the middle of the bed and he caressed Elia's hair out of her face

"Baby, are you in pain? Is it too much pain for you?" Daddy ask in concern as Mama studying her daughter to figure what's going on

Elia shake her head after she registered what was being said with her face still in distraught

And Mama immediately know it's nothing of the physical pain, Elia had a nightmare and Seb clicked on what's happening to after making eye contact with Mama

"Help J- Jamie. J-Jamie need h-help" Elia said, still in her daze and right that second Mama knows she's trapped in her nightmare still and Elia conscious state manage to bring her to her parents

Mama cupped both Elia's cheeks and tapped her daughter's cheeks with her thumbs to get the girl out of her nightmares state. It hurt the parents to see the girl's in such state

"Baby, you gotta wake up" Mama said trying the grounding method on the girl as she firmly have her hand on Elia's cheeks and caressed it with a pad of her thumbs

Eliana let out a strangled voice, as it hurt her to get back to the conscious state. She's half conscious and she's fighting to get out of her nightmares trapped.

Both Mama and Daddy work through it all, Mama caressing Elia's cheeks while Daddy caresses the girl's back. They work through it for a few more minutes until Mama sees Elia's eyes get focused as she stares into her mother's comforting eyes.

"There we go, Baby. Hi Baby" Mama said, greeting her with a soft and loving smile as always. The smile, the voice, it soothes Eliana, as always.

Elia just hummed in response as she looked at Mama with pure exhaustion in her face. She's clearly mentally and physically exhausted.

Elia look behind her and saw Daddy continuously having his hand rubbed on her back comfortingly, he offered her a soft comforting smile

"Tired," Elia said with a sad mumble and her sad gaze.

Whenever she has her nightmares, it manages to tire herself out. All the damn time. Mentally tired.

"We're right here Bunny" Daddy said as he put his hand around them both and hugging them closer to him and tightly, kissing the back of Elia's head as she just rested her head on Mama's front tiredly
