PHOENIX'S POV
I woke up with Jeff's arms still tightly wrapped around me. I snuggled up to him and shuddered as I remembered my dream. Smile was still curled up on the floor staring at me somewhat nervously. I gave him a thumbs up to say all was well.
"I wish I could pet you but my current situation prevents it," I said. I was just too comfy. Smile's tail thumped against the richly carpeted floor, seemingly in response. There was a knock on the door. "Who is it?"
"It's Clockwork. Are you guys decent?" I could hear that she was trying not to laugh.
"Ha ha ha," I replied. "Well I am kinda trapped but we are decent. You can come in."
Clocky entered the room with a confused look on her face. I gestured to Jeff having me in a vice grip. "Trapped," I said. She laughed loudly, which caused Jeff to wake up with a start.
"Whaaaaa.... Oh hi Clock...when did you get here?" said the extremely disoriented Jeff.
"Uh...about 2 minutes ago," replied Clocky. "I wanted to talk to Phoenix."
"I didn't do it," I said immediately. Clocky laughed.
"I know you didn't do it," she said. "I wanted to ask you if you were okay."
I was confuzzled. "I'm fine...apart from my boyfriend squishing me. Why wouldn't I be fine?" Jeff blushed, finally releasing his hold on me. I sat up and faced Clocky.
"Well, you were screaming last night. It sounded like you were having a nightmare. I'm just curious as to what you were dreaming about...if you feel like telling me."
I winced as my dream came back to me. I buried my face in my hands and Jeff put his arm around me. I looked at him fearfully before I answered.
"Jane," I said. There was a sharp inhale from Jeff, Clocky's eye grew wide, and Smile growled.
"What about Jane?" said Jeff fiercely.
"I couldn't remember where I was. It was dark...I was by myself. And then Jane was there...She wanted to kill me, but then Jeff showed up...a fight broke out...and then Jeff got hurt...And Jane moved in on him. That's the last thing I remember before I woke up."
Jeff had not moved his eyes from my face when I was talking. When I was done, he crushed me to him. "Baby...Jane is not going to come anywhere near you. I'll make damn sure of it. If she touches you, that will be the end of her." Clocky nodded in agreement.
"Phoenix, this whole household adores you. To us, you are part of the family...and we protect each other with our lives." She and Jeff both hugged me.
"This conversation needs a subject change...Clocky, tell her what you told me last week." Clocky smiled as I looked at her curiously. "What now?" I asked.
"I need a bridesmaid," said Clocky. "I do want my best friend slash sister to be in the wedding party. I was wondering if you'd be interested.
Tears filled my eyes as I hugged Clocky. "I'd be honored."
(Hi guys! So I thought I'd get this chapter and the wedding chapter done today, but it's so damn late. So the wedding is next chapter...it should be up either tomorrow or the day after.)
