" It will happen again.. it always does. Almost every week. I hoped that for the trip that I didn't get it again. I am sorry you had to wake me. "

Ash shook his head and said firmly, "Don't apologize. It wasn't your fault. Do you think you'll be able to fall asleep again tonight and not have the nightmare?"

" No.. Probably not. Every time I get it if I sleep again it and usually worse. I will be okay though.. used to staying up alone. "

"Haven't you told anyone about this? Staying up isn't really good for your health...and being alone could make your mental health deteriorate, especially after you had a nightmare," he pointed out

" No one knows, I think it is impossible for me to get any worse with this, and I am probably dying anyway so why would I care about my death. " Raven said plainly, her voice devoid of any hope like it usually was.

Ash raised his eyebrows. "Seriously? Raven, you aren't a quitter. Get it together. This isn't you. This is your fear and disbelief that nothing will ever get better that's talking. And trust me, things are going to get better."

(And then everything goes wrong xD)

( Yes and I will love every second of it )

" No it won't get better.. I will just get worse. No matter what I do I am just going to get hurt over and over again like I always am.. even Sawyer will do it to me. Everyone does. Everyone just uses me then gets bored of me then leaves because I am not good enough.. "

He took her chin in his hands, raising her head, shaking his own. "Not good enough? From what I'm hearing, nobody has realized your potential. You're more than good enough. Anyone who doesn't see that are idiots and are blind to the world. I mean, you're smart, you're bright, you're a good person, you're strong, you're beautiful..." He trailed off, realizing that his face was only inches from hers. He knew he shouldn't be doing this, that he should just walk away...He felt his heart rev up

Raven smiled a little, not seeming to mind that his face was so close to her own. " You speak very kind words Ash.. You don't need to try and make me believe I am something I will never be though. I am grateful to hear you say so but you don't need to say it alright? I am just glad at least one person thinks that of me. "

"Why don't you think that you are...Well, what you are? Because someone thought bad of you? Well, if that's the case, the person that didn't like you for who you are is an even bigger idiot than Sawyer is."
