You should give him a chance.

Ryan's Pov:

****

I have been with her for a while now.

She has calmed down a bit but still screams and shakes from time to time.

I guess she is having nightmares.

I have never dealt with situations like this before.

I am scared that I am not doing enough for her.

I am scared that I can't be of help.

Lately, whenever it comes to her, it hurts as if she is a part of me.

I get worried easily, and I want to protect her.

After a while, I go downstairs to get some water.

I see Alice and her friend in the kitchen.

"How is she doing?" asks Alice.

She is better now, but she is still screaming and shaking sometimes.

I came down to get her some water.

"Thank you for coming here," says Emma.

Uhh, I didn't catch who you were.

"Oh, I am Alice's friend. I am Emma," she says, smiling.

Oh, I see.

I am Ryan.

"I know. I have heard a lot about you," says Emma.
