Lisa was awoken a little after midnight by panicked whimpers. She rubbed her eyes, lifting her head to look at the girl beside her. Her confused state quickly turned into panic.


"Rosie?" Lisa whispered, nudging the blonde's shoulder. There was no response.


"Roseanne, wake up." she said louder, grabbing the girl's face in her hands. Rosie's eyes opened instantly, and a look of terror washed on her face. Lisa quickly let go of her, silently cursing herself. In her desperation, she had touched Roseanne without any warning, which had probably scared her.


"Lisa?" Roseanne's voice sounded hoarse, like she had gone three days without water. She sat up, looking around frantically. She touched the bedsheets, as if making sure they were really there.


Roseanne's hair was still in a loose plait, but half of her hair were falling out of it. Small pieces of hair were sticking to the side of her face, which was glistening with sweat


"Are- are you okay?" Lisa reached out and set her hand on Rosie's knee, being cautious this time. Roseanne looked down and clasped it between her own hands. The girl was visibly upset, Lisa could tell by the pained look in Roseanne's eyes and the irregular speed of her breathing.


"Bad dreams?" Lisa asked. Her heart was still pounding, although it had lowered to DEFCON 4.


Roseanne nodded slowly. Lisa was growing nervous. She had never seen her so unresponsive before. Out of all of them, it was always Roseanne who talked the most.


Lisa bit her lip. She badly wanted to shake Roseanne and figure out what was hurting her and make sure it never hurt her again. The brunette wasn't sure what to do at this point. She had never been too good with feelings. That was Roseanne's department. 


Lisa's eyes landed on her bedside table's drawer. She reached for the handle, taking a squished brownie out of it.  Unsure of what to do, she held it out for Roseanne to take.


The blonde wrinkled her nose. "You had that in your drawer? Gross."


"I mean, I could eat it for you if you want-"


Roseanne popped the brown square in her mouth. Lisa swallowed back her disappointment.


"Goodnight Lili. Sorry, I woke you up." Roseanne glanced around the room one last time, and then shimmied under the covers.


Lisa opened her mouth and closed it, pursing her lips. She didn't want to make things worse by saying something that might upset Roseanne. After contemplating for a minute, she quickly slid in next to Roseanne, pulling the covers over both of them. Roseanne didn't protest, squeezing Lisa like her own personal human stuff toy.


"You can tell me what's bothering you, you know. I won't judge you. But only if you want to. I-um...goodnight then." Lisa shut her mouth, cringing at how stupid she sounded. Roseanne didn't answer. She had probably fallen asleep. How she did that, Lisa had no clue.


A minute had passed when Roseanne's voice chimed through the covers.


"Alright. But don't tell anyone."
