Every night. [line drawn through, too lazy to black out.]

More than a couple of times. Having difficulty staying asleep then?

[bitchykid]

Yeah, I [pause] just woke up. Again.

[trenchcoatmagic]

How old are you again?

[bitchykid]

Nineteen.

[trenchcoatmagic]

Get a sip of Brandy in you before you lay down.

good thing he lives with drunks...

[bitchykid]

Oh. Thanks.

[trenchcoatmagic]

No problem. Dreams been bothering you for long?

[bitchykid]

[Pause] Couple weeks.

[trenchcoatmagic]

Every night, or just most nights?

[bitchykid]

Every night I've slept. Didn't a couple.

[trenchcoatmagic]

Tends to happen with me when I've got something heavy on my mind. Something bothering you in particular?

[bitchykid]

A lot of things.

[trenchcoatmagic]

Get yourself something to distract you. Either that or solve whatever's dragging you down.

Just a friendly suggestion, eh?

[bitchykid]

Solve-- Guess. I'll find something distracting.
