Chapter 24- Feelings

Ahrianna's POV.

The next day I woke up a little dazed, I was in my bed, fully clothed swaddled in my duvet. I looked out the window and saw it was extremely light outside, I guessed the time to be about 11am from the positioning of the sun. As I sat up trying to put together pieces of information from the night before in my head, suddenly I caught sight of something in the corner of my eye, what ever it was it wasn't normally there and it caught my full attention snapping my head round to look at it straight on. As soon as I saw his face I immediately relaxed and all of what had happened last night came flooding back.

Nick was sat in one of my navy blue armchairs staring contentedly at me, this made me blush, I looked away trying to hide my goofy grin and my red cheeks. I heard him move swiftly towards the bed and sit down next to me, his cool fingers lightly touched my chin directing my face back towards him he smiled at me "morning sleepyhead" he said in such a beautifully perfect husky voice. I started straight into his eyes and giggled slightly "morning" I greeted him, my voice sounded sleepy and barely audible, but he heard me. As we stared at each other, all of a sudden I remembered that I had just woken up and I must've looked a state, I quickly reached up and rubbed under my eyes and then roughly tore my fingers through my tangled hair. The next thing I know Nicks hand were upon mine stopping them in their tracks, he put them back on to my lap and his hands smoothed over my hair "you look beautiful" he said, his words seemed genuine and he looked as if he meant it as he stared into my eyes, but how could anyone find me beautiful, I was a murderous monster. I was not beautiful nor graceful.

As I thought about Nicks words memories came rushing to the front of my mind, my father beating me as a child, calling me horrid names, telling me I didn't deserve to live and that he wished my mother had survived instead of me. Tears slowly escaped my eyes but Nicks hand came up and captured them before they could fall, his touch was icy cold but exhilarating. I expected his hand to move back to his side but it stayed there cradling my face, his emotions matching mine, I could feel them. Slowly he lowered his hand and grasped my own, bringing it up to his cheek this time, he wanted me to show him what I was thinking about. I had told Him about my real father the night before, but the images were a lot worse. I stared at him again and he nodded at me urging me to show him, I sighed and dipped my chin so I wouldn't have to see his reactions, then I played over the images again, this time sending them to Nick.

I didn't show him the most horrific images that I had in my head, purely because they were to painful for even me to re-live. I could see him wincing every time my fathers hand came down on me, leaving red marks and bruises. Nicks emotions were that of anger, sadness, betrayal and hatred. The images stopped after a few minutes but my tears did not, Nicolas simply just held me like a child and let me weep, once my tears flowed no more we sat in silence until my stomach started to growl, we both laughed. "You should get dressed" Nick said unwrapping his arms from around me, I sat back up on my own and nodded. Then in a flash I ran over to my closet and grabbed the first items of clothing I found and rushed into the bathroom, the whole time Nick stayed in my room waiting for me. I quickly brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and for changed, 'I could have a shower later' I thought not wanting to be that long without Nick. After I had dressed in black leggings and a long jumper top I stepped out of the bathroom and headed over to my dressing table, I could feel Nicks gaze on me the whole time. I picked up a hair bobble and pulled all my hair into a pony tail on the top of my head, I had a few lose bits of hair fall around framing my face. I decided not to bother with makeup and turned around to head back to Nick. I stood in front of him while he was sat on the edge of my bed staring at me, I beamed a smile at him and he gave me my favourite smile.

"You know, that's my favourite thing" I said looking at him innocently, I entwined my fingers behind my back. He looked at me with confusion but couldn't help but keep the smile on his face "what is?" He replied standing up so we were just inches apart. My heart started to beat slightly faster at his proximity, I smiled at him again and brought my hand up to trace his lips which were still curved up into his smile "this" I said as my finger moved across his lower lip. Just as I went to drop my hand he caught it and brought it back up to his lips and kissed it. Just as we got caught in another moment that would probably last for a while I heard a small knock at my door and both our heads turned towards it. An image flashed through my mind, I saw that Ness was the one who was Knocking on my door. Sighing, I took my back hand from Nicks and headed towards the door, just as I went to open it I flashed him a smile and then carried on to open the door.
