"he doesn't care about you." the deep voice rings out. The blackness that surrounds me slowly dissolves into a bright white light.
"He doesn't care" the voice says again. I glance down and see that I am tied tightly to a chair. I look back up to see a figure approaching. I struggle to get free from the trap. The rough rope tears at my skin.
"Help! Please! Louis! Niall! Zayn! Liam! Harry! Help me!" I scream out,
The figure is now almost on top of me. I let out a whimper and the figure starts laughing.
"You think they will help?" he laughs and steps to the side. Behind him are all of the guys, smirking and laughing at me. Tears fall down my cheeks.
"See? They don't care." the figure sets his hands on my shoulders.
"And now you're mine." he says and bring his hands up to my neck, choking me. Everything fades to black.
I jolt awake. Another nightmare. I back up into the headboard and bring my knees up to my chest, clinging onto them with my arms. I slowly rock myself back and forth, trying to calm down. A few stray tears slip down my cheeks. I let out a whimper. My bedroom door opens slowly and Louis peers in. He sees me and immediately walks in. He sits on the edge of my bed.
"What's wrong, love?" he asks.
"Another nightmare." I whimper.
"Aww babe." he says, wrapping me in a hug. I tense up immediately but slowly loosen up. He begins to rock me side to side and hums a soothing tune. Soon, my breathing and heart beats return to normal.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asks softly. I bite my lip. Should I trust him? He hasn't given me a reason not to... I remember Eleanor's words. Give them a chance.
"M-My real dad beat me. He cut me with a knife and kicked and shoved me. He called me worthless and fat." I say, recalling the memories. The tears begin to fall freely. "T-They found me and him and sent him to jail and me to an orphanage. I still have nightmares about him every night. That's why I don't sleep much. That's why I don't eat much." I finish, now to the point of sobbing.
"It's okay, lovely. You're safe here. He can't hurt you anymore, I promise." he says. "What was the nightmare?"
"He, I... I can't tell you." I say. He sighs silently.
"Okay, do you want me to stay in here tonight?" I shake my head no.
"Can you just tuck me in again?" I ask, determined to get back to sleep. He smiles a little.
"Of course." I get under the covers again and he tucks me in. "Good night, Aurora."
"Good night dad." I close my eyes carefully but jolt them back open. "Dad?"
"yes?"
"Can you sing to me?" I ask, carefully. He smiles.
"Of course."
"When I see your face
Theres not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are" he sings.
A smile creeps onto my face. I slowly fall to sleep to the sound of my dad's melodic voice.
