Joe's POV

It was Friday night and the restaurant wasn't as busy as usual. I was in the back helping one of the newly hired chiefs make a dish, when all of the sudden there was a loud bang. "Sounds like a thunderstorms here." The chef announced. Cherry. Cherry is scared of thunder. I need to go. I walked out of the kitchen and into the dining area. There were three tables seated, not too much to worry about. I approached my buddy waiting for an order to serve. "Hey dude could you cover me for the rest of the night?" I asked, and it was obvious he knew why. "I got you" He said winking.

I took off my chefs coat and grabbed my stuff. I ran to my car as fast as I could, unlocking the doors and getting in as fast as possible. The rain started coming down a bit worse now, a couple bangs making me realize it was picking up speed. I needed to get back soon.

Cherry's POV

It was around 7, Joe wouldn't be back for another two hours or so. I had been working most the day, but decided to take a break and do something else. First I thought it'd be a good idea to clean, but after I saw there wasn't anything to clean I ended up going into the living room to sit down. I sat there for a few minutes staring at the ceiling before I felt my phone buzz. A thunderstorm warning. No, no,no. Joe's at work. I can't be here alone.

BANG

Thunder cracked out as loud as could be. I yelped, feeling a panic attack coming I ran into the bedroom trying to collect all the blankets I could. I threw them all in a pile, climbing inside. Another crack of thunder shook the house. "God. Please come home Joe" I said taking my phone out from my pocket, trying to hold it still enough to type in my shaking hands.

Cherry: Joe

Cherry: Joe please come home

Cherry: I can't be here alone

It hadn't been more than a minute when to roaring thunder rumbles came out of no where. Trying to calm myself, I turned on My music, turning to volume up all the way and placing it close to my ear. I grabbed onto one of the blankets and tried to forget about what was going on outside.

Joe's POV

I pulled into the drive way, getting out of the car, and running to the door as fast as I could. I fumbled with my keys, trying to grab the right one. After fidgeting, I got a hold of the right one and unlocked the door. I threw my coat onto the floor, took of my shoes and ran to the living room. Cherry wasn't there so I checked the kitchen, Nothing. More thunder cracked from outside and I heard a whimper. The bedroom.

I ran into the bedroom. There was a shaking pile of blankets in the corner. I slowly approached, crouching down and gently placed my hand on it. "Cherry, baby, you in there?" "Mhm" he whispered. I Moved the blankets around and seen his face. He had tears running down his cheeks, and his eyes puffy from crying. I sat against the wall, holding out my arms. Cherry got out from his nest, dragging a couple blankets along with him, and climbed into my arms. The music he had playing now muffled by a blanket, I started humming along to it. I began running my fingers through his hair while Cherry traced the stripes on my shirt with his fingertip.

After 10 minutes or so, Cherry's finger fell from my chest and his breathing slowed. I leaned over slightly just to look at his face. He had fallen asleep. I adjusted our bodies so we were laying on the ground. I covered us in blankets and pulled Cherry closer towards me. After some time I started to feel myself drifting into sleep.
