                                                               ~Alexander's POV~

I noticed John was barely breathing.

'This is so heartbreaking to me and I don't know why.'

I shook him a bit, attempting to wake him up.

"John?"

'He's barely breathing. Okay, okay. I need to calm myself down. He's probably fine, at least physically.'

"John, please wake up."

I shook him a bit more, a bit faster and rougher.

"John!"

I kept repeating his name, trying to wake him up, while shaking him.

"John, please wake up!"

                                                        ~John's POV~

I woke up with Alexander by my side, shaking me. Basically, I was in tears, but I tried my best to hide it.

"John, are you okay?"

I stayed silent for a second to try to pull myself together.

"Y-yeah. I guess. Why'd you wake me up?"

"You were barely breathing."

"Sometimes when I'm sleeping, mostly when I have nightmares, that happens. Don't worry about it."

"Still, I was worried."

He pulled me closer to him.

"Are you sure you're okay?" (an// Alexander talking)

"I guess."

We sat in silence for awhile. It was very awkward and uncomfortable.

'How does he tolerate me? How hasn't he left by now? I don't deserve him. I need to excell more, and meet my expectations. I'm not enough for him.'

"Alex, why are you even here? How do you tolerate me?"

"I'm here because I love you to death, John. You're in no way an annoyance. Why are you even asking?"

"I'm just.. wondering, I guess."

"I know you're lying. Tell me the truth."

"I don't know.."

"I'm asking for nothing more than the truth."

He put his arms around me, providing me a feeling of protection and warmth.

"Fine..."

I told him everything I had just dreamed about.
