Crappy Life

Rainbow's POV

The next morning I woke up to loud screams. I instantly shot up, and looked at Scootaloo. She was sobbing and screaming.

"No! No! Please! NO!" she screamed over and over again. I shook her to wake her up. I was scared.

"Scootaloo! Wake up!" I shouted, as I shook her. Her eyes shot open, and she was sweating. She sat up quickly, looked at me and hugged me tightly, while sobbing into my shoulder.

"Shh. It's okay. You're safe." I said to her, quietly, while stroking her hair. I tightly hugged her back. Our parents were still sleeping.

"What happened?" I let go of her, and looked into her sad, scared, purple eyes. She just sobbed more. I could tell this wasn't just any nightmare.

She didn't speak. She just sobbed and sobbed, as she lied down and covered herself in my dark blue blanket. I rubbed her back as she sobbed. The poor kid was obviously terrified.

I lied down next to her. I did my bet to comfort.

"Hey. Hey. It's okay." I said, wiping tears from her cheek.

She sat up so I did too. She just hugged me and didn't want to let go. After a couple minutes, I let her go. I wiped away tears from her eyes.

"It's okay." I said to her, smiling lightly. Just then, Mom came into the room.

"Are you alright?" she asked us, concerned.

"Yeah. Scootaloo just had a nightmare." I said, even though I knew it was more than just a nightmare. She came onto the bed and hugged Scootaloo and I.

"I'm gonna go get some breakfast in a little bit." she said, walking out of the room. She closed the door.

"Now Scootaloo. Just relax, and tell me what happened." I said to her seriously. She was tearing up again.

"I ha.... had a dream wh.... where Dad w.... was beating you u.... up. And th.... then he got a knife. And h.... he slit your throat. You scr.... eamed and bl.... blood was coming out of your throat and your mouth a.... and I tried to sa.... ve you, but I was bl.... ocked by a forcefield or.... something. And the l.... last thing I s.... saw after your dead body was th.... at the forcefield broke, and Dad ch.... charged at me, but then I w.... woke up." she said sobbing, uncontrollably. She hugged and sobbed into my shoulder again.

"It's okay. Shh. Shh. I'm okay. I'm here." I said, holding her tightly in my arms. I stroked her hair. She didn't deserve this. Not at all.

Scootaloo's POV

That dream was the scariest thing I've ever experienced. Being in Rainbow's arms feels really comforting right now. I'm sobbing and probably looking like a fool. She seemed concerned though.

Rainbow's POV

I knew now was the time. I had no choice, but to tell Mom Dad's hurtful actions. He should be at his new job today anyways. He got a new job being a security guard at an airport, like an hour from home. I lightly tapped my cheek and it really hurt. I had a pained expression on my face. Scootaloo noticed. She looked unhappy. Alright. It's time to tell her. No more hurtful actions.
