"Jadey?"

I was awoken from a peaceful sleep by the whiney voice of the person I call my best friend. We were sleeping in my living room, me on one coach and her on the other. It had been three weeks since her birthday party at Beck's house and we were having a sleepover. Beck was in trouble with his dad, something about getting a bad grade on a test, and wasn't allowed to come over.

"What Cat?" I said, not bothering to open my eyes.

There was a soft whimper coming from somewhere in the darkness. I couldn't tell where exactly it was coming from, but it sounded close. There were some shuffling noises and what sounded like a little girl crying. At last, I opened my eyes to find a frowning Cat Valentine right in front of my face. Frowning?

"What's wrong Cat?" I sighed, sat up, and patted the now empty seat next to me.

Cat sat right were I patted and threw her head into the crook of my neck. She seemed as if she was near tears. Correction, she was way past near tears. Liquid started to slip down my shoulder from her eyes.

"What's wrong Cat?" I repeated, waiting for a response.

A couple of seconds later, she lifted her head and wiped away some tears. Her brown hair was in a frizzy mess, maybe from tossing around during her sleep.

"I had a bad dream…" She whispered.

Was this seriously what she woke me up at… 2 AM… to tell me? This girl's crazy. I was having a perfectly good dream. Scissors were chasing around people and one of them was so close to stabbing a kid until Cat came and woke me up. Well… I guess I could just reenact my dream on Monday.

"What was your dream about?" I said with a yawn.

"Well… there were all sorts of big scary monsters… One of them was chasing you," I listened more intently as I heard her mention me. "And it tried to eat you. It took one huuuge bite out of you from the waist down and threw the rest of you back on the ground-"

"Why am I being mutilated exactly?" I cut her off.

Cat just shrugged her shoulder and went on with her dream.

"Anyway, what was left of you started screaming in pain and then the monster came running back…"

Cat suddenly stopped and looked around for a few seconds. After a few minutes, maybe three, she still didn't go on with the story. I was getting into this dream too, it started to actually sound good.

"And?" I asked her as a few more minutes passed.

"Oh, that's it." She said and straightened her poster.

I threw my palm to my face and laid back down on the couch, groaning as I hit the soft cushion. A hand reached across and pulled some hair out of my face. Cat's little heart-shaped face appeared in front of my face again. She had on one of her pouty faces and looked deep into my eyes.

"Please don't let a monster eat you, Jadey."

"OK, Cat. Go back to sleep."

"Promise me."

I sighed and sat up.

"I promise."

"Pinky promise?" She asked and stuck up her little finger.

I latched my own little finger to hers and looked her in the eyes.

"Pinky promise."

(AN Well… this was based off of an event that happened between me and my friend when she was staying over at my house. It seemed like a Cade friendship moment, so I used it in here.)
