Prologue
*Katelyn's Pov*I kept tossing and turning with old memories coming in and out of my dream. I tried to get out of this nightmare of the past. I then woke up with a gasp. I sat on my bed and I felt tears coming out. I then heard the door open. It was Travis. I swear if that dude is king to try to flirt with me, i will kill him. But all he did was look at me with something I never thought I would see from man ever again......worry just for me. It took me back to my nightmare and I started to cry harder.
"I'm not here to flirt. That may come as a shock, but it's true, I saw you trashing and turning and I was going to find some ginger because it soothes people with trouble sleeping and I just wanted to see if you were e asleep and needed it," explained Travis. So, he was only worried about me? Why does he even care, all he cares about is stupid girls. I wonder why though because he trays so hard which a normal man would get it by now that I don't date. Well at least until Travis came along.
"Travis, why do you keep trying to get to try to date me, but you know I never will," I questioned. Travis feel silent and looked at the ground as if how to think to answer. I wonder if I hit a sensitive topic, but it doesn't seem like it would be a sensitive topic for him? I wonder if I shouldn't have been so blunt with the question.
"I lived alone by myself for many years, and the people in the village were either too young or too old for me to fall in love with. When I got off that island, I was and still am desperate for love so I don't feel alone like I did after my mother died. All I want is to not die alone. Is that really too much to ask," said Travis. I almost forgot on how we met Travis. I never really had to feel abandon or completely alone for many years. I saw Travis starring at the ground and his face was emotionless.
"Travis, I had no idea what's that like so I can't help you with that and I'm fine seriously just bad dreams from my past," I said trying to reassure him. He then looked up at me and just started at me and looked like he was thinking of something. Then he slightly shook his head.
"I could help you get rid of those bad dreams if you want," said Travis. How by flirting with me? It did shock me at his offer though.What could the harm be in needing a little help.
"Sure but how do you know how to get over it," I asked. He then let out a short little sigh and slightly shook his head at me again.
"By talking about it, so then we will try to work to find the for ereason why you keep having nightmares about your past," explained Travis sincerely. Wow, maybe he does have some normal person in there. It sort of reminded me of.....Jeffrey! I nodded and I still felt wide awake.
"I'm going back to bed, but take this it helps me sleep every night but I can do without it because I want you to use it. I think it will help," said Travis and handed me a cloth. It was just an ordinary clot hand nothing special about it. I looked up about to ask Travis about it but he was gone. I layer back down and then fell into a dreamless sleep.
