Alex's POV

I woke up sometime around midnight, my neck aching from the awkward position I'd fallen asleep in on the couch.  The TV was still playing Wrong Turn 3, though I could have sworn we'd been watching the second one when I passed out.

And I was solidly convinced that I was dreaming for a good five minutes as I looked over to Indi and noticed that she had fallen asleep up against me.  

I had my arm on the back of the couch, and her head was leaned up against the side of my chest, the rest of her body sprawled out along the couch.

I probably should have woken her up.  She might kill me if she ever finds out that she slept on me and that I was aware of it.  But then again I didn't really care.  

She shifted then, moving her head from the side of my chest down to my lap, a strange noise escaping her lips.  The glow from the TV illuminated her face, which was smudged with mascara.  

She looked more peaceful now than she had in the car last night.  She looked tranquil for maybe the first time in her whole life.  

I definitely couldn't wake her up now.  So I turned the TV down, settled back into the couch, and pretended like I'd never even woken up at all.
