“You know h-how the dream usually starts off with you and me being happy and in love,” I began. Ashley nodded. This time the nightmare s-started off with me being alone and unhappy and not knowing where I was. It took me a few minutes to realize that I was in a cemetery to see that you died and got buried. After that, I was holding on to your dead body. I wish I could make these dreams stop, but I can’t. I broke down in more tears and Ashley wiped away my tears.

“You’ve had a lot to go through lately,” sighed Ashley. I would take your place and live those nightmares, but you have to know that I will always be there for you dream or real life. Even when I’m not with you, you need to know that I will always be in your heart just like you are in my heart.

“I thought I might finally have a decent dream because today was one of the best birthdays of my life,” I explained.

“I have an idea to help make all your nightmares go away,” said Ashley as she went into her closet and was looking through a box. Ashley revealed a stuffed teddy bear and went back into bed. I would like you to meet my teddy bear.

“What’s the teddy bear’s name?” I asked with curiosity.

“Teddy,” answered Ashley. I chuckled. I know I wasn’t that original with naming my stuffed teddy bear. You could rename him if you want to. Teddy used to help me when I used to get nightmares that the boogey monster was going to come and get me. Kyla gave him to me and told me that as long as I slept with Teddy every night, I wouldn’t have to worry about the boogeyman anymore since they were afraid of stuffed teddy bears.

“That’s cute what Kyla did for you,” I commented.

“Yeah, it was,” agreed Ashley. Ashley handed me her teddy bear. Now I’m passing Teddy on to you. He’ll protect you from all your nightmares and there will always be a way that I will be in your dreams and you’ll know that I’m alright.

“Thanks,” I smiled.

“You’re welcome,” responded Ashley. Ashley cuddled with me.

“I have a question though,” I said.

“Yes, baby?” asked Ashley.

“When was the last time you slept with the teddy bear?” I asked.

“Around the time we began to date,” answered Ashley. When I was holding you, I knew that everything was going to be alright in my life as well as in my dreams. I knew that I didn’t have to be afraid anymore.
