Black Roses

Bed

Mia- ( wakes to a hand sliding down her side she shifts a little into the touch)

Ace- baby ( looking down at her)

Mia- ( hums cracking her eyes open slightly and turns to look over her shoulder noticing it's still dark out so she hasn't slept that long she's confirmed when her eyes land on the alarm clock that reads two thirty in the morning wiggling to her back she rubs her eyes drowsily)

Ace- you were crying ( sleepy as well he lays on his side facing her propping his head up on her hand)

Mia- ( lays her hand on his arm taking a deep breath and exhaling) bad dream.. im sorry ( looks up at him seeing his shadow)

Ace- what were you dreaming about? ( rubbing his hand over her stomach)

Mia- my parents ( slides her hand up his arm and rests her hand on the side of his neck and moves so her body is pressed to his lifting her head when his arm that propped his head up nudges her before settling her head back onto the pillow her other arm pinned underneath her until she moves it backwards into a comfortable angle) I should've died in that crash ( her voice breaks) why am I still alive 

Ace- ( tightens his hold on her waist and draws her closer to him pulling her head against his chest his hand on the back of her head pressing his lips together as she cries against him) I don't know baby.

Mia- ( after her usual breakdown her breathing slows back to normal but she occasional falters before breathing again tears still falling down her cheek and onto the bed beneath her but hearing his heart beat against her ear slowly draws her out of her head  and she pulls back to wipe her face sniffling)

Ace- ( leans over and taps the base of the lamp twice so the light isn't blaring but dim and he can see her face)

Mia- ( rolls onto her back still wiping at her face before settling to keep her arm over her eyes) they died because of me. it's my fault.

Ace- Mia...

Mia- its true ( whispers lowering her arm and looks at him) I don't remember what the argument was about  but I remember dad turning and screaming at me that I was ungrateful that i didn't deserve anything ( falters taking in a shaky breath)

Ace- ( pulls himself up to lean against the head board running his fingers through his hair)

Mia-he hated me( scrunches her nose up as tears continue to fall) he hated me and I don't know why. All I ever did was try to impress him I stayed out of trouble I did everything he asked of me but it was never enough

Ace- ( looking at her feeling her pain but not knowing what to do if she wanted him to do anything)

Mia- ( shakes her head squeezing her eyes shut sitting up pulling her legs to her chest and buries her face into her knees and begins rocking back and forth slightly trying to get her breathing back under control)

Ace- ( reaches out and rubs her back) what can I do?

Mia- ( looks up wiping her face remaining silent for a few good minutes until she feels him shift  and his hand cups her face only then does she look up at him sitting down he's still taller then her she presses her lips together taking him in)

Ace- ( searches her eyes) 

Mia- ( uncurls herself and wraps her arms lightly around his neck and moves so she's straddling his lap kissing his cheek) just hold me..

Ace- ( guides her legs so her legs curl around him before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer kissing her shoulder he begins to rock side to side like he would a small child)
