"Hey. Hey there tiger" He continued "Jessie? What time is it?" I asked "Almost 3 am" He replied "3 am. Why are you waking me up at 3 am?" I asked half asleep "For him" Jessie said gesturing to his left. "Hi. Baby" Elijah said. 

"Jordyn, wake up" Jessie whispered "NO!" I exclaimed as I woke up "Hey. Jordyn, Hey, Hey. It's okay" Jessie reassured "What happened?" He asked "Um. I don't know. I just- I don't know" I said shaking "Hey, stop shaking, it was just dream, okay? It's not real" Jessie reassured "I know that, it's just- I just-" "Hey, hey, shhh. It's not real" "Jess?" I asked quietly "What?" "Is he here?" I asked "Is who here?". I couldn't say it, cause it felt like if I did something would happen, "Jordyn, is who here?" He asked again, I sat up and looked at him and he knew right then and there who I was talking about. "What, Elijah, why would Elijah be here?" Jessie asked "I- I don't know, I saw him. He was in here, with me" I stuttered "Well, it's over. He's not here, you're with me. And you're safe" Jessie reassured "Yeah. What time is it?" I asked "Um. 3:09am. Why?" He asked "I don't know. I just feel like somethings off" I explained "Everything Is fine. Okay?" Jessie asked "Yeah. I guess you're right" I replied "Okay. Well, do you wanna go back to sleep?" He asked "I kinda feel like taking a shower. Just to clear my head" I explained "Okay. Well, don't wake Sky" Jessie warned "Okay." I replied.

I got up and went straight for the shower. I never have nightmares like that, where I have full control over my body. Usually, I just sit there and wait for myself to wake up. "Was I even dreaming? No, don't do this to yourself. You're fine. Everything is fine'' I told myself. I was in the shower for 15 minutes. Once I finished showering, I got out, dried off and got dressed. As I stood back up from putting my socks on, I looked in the mirror and swore I saw Elijah behind me. I spun around. But, no one was there. "What-What's happening to me?" I asked shakingly. Jessie was sitting on my bed and he heard a big bang coming from the bathroom where I was. "What was- Jordyn!" Jessie panicked "Jordyn!? Jordyn are you okay?" Jessie asked. There was no answer, so he did what any average person would do.

He opened the door, and saw me bent over on the counter. I wasn't unconscious, but the sound was 7 or 8 bottles hitting the floor from when I spun around. "Jordyn?" Jessie asked sweetly, "Mmhmm" I replied "Are you okay?" He asked "Yeah. I'm fine." I stated "I know when you say you're fine, you're not." Jessie explained ".." I didn't answer after that. I couldn't, I was so shaky and scared. I had no words to describe what happened, and I couldn't look up at him. "Jordyn?" He persisted "Jordyn, look at me. Look at me. Please?" He begged. At this point I knew he wasn't gonna let up. So I had to do it. I had to stand back up and look at him. "Fine" I said finally. I stood up and all Jessie saw was fear and sadness in my eyes, for what just happened. "Hey, hey. Jordyn, what-- what happened?" He asked "I um.. I- I see him. Everywhere. I see him everywhere and I don't know what to do" I panicked "Hang on, who. Jordyn, who do you see or think you see?" Jessie asked "Elijah. I saw him outside, I saw him in the mirror, I see him in my head. I see him everywhere and I just want him to leave me alone" I said "He's not here" Jessie reassured "But-" "Hey, hey. He's gone. He's not here and he's not gonna bother you again, okay? Because if he does I'm gonna kick his ass, okay" Jessie reassured "Yeah, I know" I chuckled. As we stood there, Jessie noticed the mirror had a crack and that my hand was bleeding. "Jordyn, what did you do?" He asked "Nothing. It's-it's nothing" I stuttered "Well, it's not nothing. The mirror is broken and your hand is bleeding" Jessie explained "No, It's nothing" I said again "Jordyn, what did you- What did you do?"  "You saw him, and you freaked. Didn't you?" Jessie asked. I nodded, "I just saw him in the mirror and I thought that if I hit the mirror. He'd go away and I wouldn't see him anymore. But then I saw him outside and I fell backwards and that's when those bottles fell" I explained "Oh. Well, come on" Jessie said grabbing my none cut hand, "Where?" I asked "Your room. I don't want Sky to wake up and see this" Jessie explained "What about the mirror?" I asked "I'll fix it" He replied "Just come on". We walked back to the room and he sat me down on the bed. Jessie put a bandage around my hand but he had to clean it so there weren't any shards or small bits of glass stuck in my hand. "Okay this is gonna hurt a bit" He warned "Okay" I replied "Just spray it like that" "Oh.. OW! Jesus Christ!" I exclaimed while trying to be quiet "I said it would hurt" He sassed "Yeah, but you didn't say how much" I overruled "Whatever".
