Chapter 28

It’s just like before. Skylar is lying in the middle of the bed, comforter twisted around his body, sheets askew, a sheen of sweat covering his exposed skin. He’s thrashing and fighting, caught in the throes of a nightmare.

Skylar screams again, full of pain and misery. Quinn rushes to his side and gently shakes him.

“Skylar?” he whispers gently as the young man continues to struggle against his nightmares. “Skylar, it’s alright, it’s just a dream.”

“No stop please, please, I’m sorry, please stop,” Skylar pleas, still caught in the nightmare. Quinn freezes for a second, ice running through his veins. He’s afraid he might be sick.

He swallows forcefully and shakes Skylar harder, desperate now to wake him. He shouldn’t have to relive any of his time with that man.
