The nightmares are back, they've been happening over and over again nonstop for about a week now. I don't really get why they are back, last time I've had a nightmare was during the apocalypse. But now every night I find myself waking up in cold sweat or one time even falling off the bed from freaking out in my dream. And I'm wondering if Izzy has

*waits at Penns for him to come home. Smiles when he walks in.*

Hi. How was patrol?

[_penn_]

*smiles when he sees her*

Hey Izzy!

It was pretty uneventful. Though I got pretty tired early for some reason.

*goes over to her and kisses her on the cheek* How was your evening?

[izzy_hicks]

Okay. Ingrid made dinner, I brought you a plate its in the fridge. I stopped and visited with them for a while, they are trying to keep Nick distracted cause Irene went away with Aidan this weekend. Then I came here.

*looks at him, concerned*

If you're tired sweetie, I can let you get some sleep.

[_penn_]

*shrugs* Nah don't worry about it, I can always sleep later. Besides, you are not one to talk about getting sleep.

Is Nick really taking Irene going away with Aidan that hard? I mean its only for one weekend. I'm sure she will be safe.

*sits next to her and looks at her* It may seem easier but it isn't.

Is there anything I can do?

[izzy_hicks]

*leans head against head as tears well up in her eyes*

Make it so that I can't feel? Take away the dreams?

*looks up at him*

Just stay here with me for a while?

[_penn_]

*wraps an arm around her*

*says softly* I shall stay with you however long you need or want me.

Why are you feeling this way? What caused it?

[izzy_hicks]

*wraps arms around him holding on to him tight*

I wish I could ask you to stay forever.

*shrugs shoulders helplessly*

I'm not sure why it's happening. But the fear is constant. Its starting to hurt. Its worse at night. I'm afraid to close my eyes.

[_penn_]

*brushes back her hair* Don't be sorry, its okay, I can be the same way.

Just *tries to think how to phrase it* Well, if something is wrong and not all happy, don't feel like you have to hide it from me. I'm used to things not being completely happy.

[izzy_hicks]

*looks him in the eyes*

Most of the time, I am happy or at least okay.

*shrugs*

I just know, I can feel how people feel when I say I'm worried, or scared or upset or hurt. I try to avoid making anyone feel that way.

[_penn_]

*looks at her weird*

You mean they feel like they care about you or are concerned about you?

[izzy_hicks]

*can't help but smile*

Well yeah theres that. And I love you all for caring about me, and are concerned. I know it sounds like I am complaining that people care about me. And thats not it.

*tries to find the right words*

I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to be the reason why anyone hurts.
