Izzy's PoV:

Squid had said that, for tonight, I could stay with him. Although I was really happy about this I was also incredibly nervous. I have nightmares every single night at least three times, often more, sometimes I just wake up, sometimes I wake up crying but, when it's really bad, I wake up screaming. I didn't want that to happen tonight, I didn't want to wake anyone up and I really didn't want anyone to get worried. The only thing that can help me get at least 2 hours sleep is watching Squid's videos, I have watched every single video he has uploaded since January last year, it's nearly August now, so that is about a year and a half.

To make things worse I was sharing with Amy and Netty. That means even if I just woke up there would be a possibility of me waking them up too. I also have been known to sleep walk. Once I attacked Flo in my sleep, she didn't tell the staff about it because we knew they would give us separate rooms and us sharing helped me get back to sleep after I had a nightmare.

The room we were sleeping in tonight was quite small so even if I just kicked out it would probably hit someone.

It soon became evening and I told Squid I was going to have an early night and I went upstairs to our room. I actually didn't want to have an early night but the only reason I was was so that I could watch a few of Squid's videos before Amy and Netty came upstairs.

I was in the middle of an episode of Crazy Craft when I heard some people coming up the stairs. It was clearly Amy and Netty, I could tell by their voices. I quickly pulled out my earplugs and lay down. I didn't bother pretending I was asleep as it had only been 10 minutes since I had come up so to be asleep by now would be a miracle.

"Are you asleep?" Amy said. "No." I replied. I probably could've been politer but my heart was now pounding so hard I couldn't really think about what I was saying. Netty went into the bathroom to get changed so it was just me and Amy. "Why were you put into care?" Amy asked me. I didn't want to tell her, I wanted to keep it as just me knowing the full story and Flo knowing half of it so I said, "Only I know the whole story, social services only know part of it, and I want to keep it that way." Amy looked a bit shocked but at that moment Netty walked in so Amy left before she could ask anymore questions.

Amy took ages to come back, considering she was only getting change and cleaning her teeth, but I couldn't think about that right now. Out of my bad luck my sleeping bag was in between Amy's and Netty's and, to make things worse, as the room was quite small our sleeping bags were only about 30 centimetres apart.

Amy eventually returned so I pretended to be asleep; I didn't want her asking any questions. It wasn't that I don't trust Amy but I just wanted to make sure that as little people knew as possible. And, plus, I have trust issues so although I do know that I could trust her with that, I just don't fully trust her. The only person in the entire world that I trust is Flo.

*Time Skip*

It was about 11 pm and I still hadn't gone to sleep, although this wasn't unusual, when I received a text from Flo. It said:

I hope your happy with whoever rescued you from Craig. Yes, I do know about that. Shall I tell you how I know that? I am part of Craig's gang he let me become a member after I showed him how much I hate you.

Flo

P.S. If any of us see you around... Well, let's just say you don't want us to.

I had to put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from crying out. The one person in the world I trust hates me. I put my head on the pillow and silently cried myself to sleep.

*Time Skip*

I woke up screaming and crying, I was crying so hard I couldn't even remember what my dream was about. I was in a tight ball at the top of my sleeping bag, I felt someone touch my shoulder and out of instinct I lashed out making, I think it was Netty, cry in agony. I didn't want to hurt her but right now I was so on edge that I couldn't control it. I heard people come rushing into the room. I could hear Amy warning them not to touch me. But then there was someone there, they didn't say anything until the rest of the room went silent, I think everyone had left. Then they spoke. It was Squid. He asked me what happened. I didn't know what to say but I still relaxed a bit. I heard him pull Netty's bed closer, so it was touching mine, and he lay down on it next to me. I felt him put his arm around me and then I realised that he is the person I fully trust. I turned over and buried my head into his side. Tomorrow I was going to tell him everything.

I suddenly woke up, I had had another nightmare. I felt someone move next to me, "Are you ok?" It was Squid, he was still here. "I had a nightmare." I said. "Why are you getting these nightmares tonight? Is it because you are here? Do you need to go back to the care home?" Squid genuinely sounded worried. I looked at the cloak, 5 am. "I have nightmares every night. Tonight has been loads better. Only two. At the care home I would usually wake up more, often around ten times." Squid looked shocked. "That's why you always look so tired." I nodded. "You go back to sleep I will stay here." Squid said. I was surprised but I didn't complain. I needed the sleep. I buried my head back into his side and I fell asleep.
