His Heart Vacancy Girl

Bad dreams

Emily's POV:

Those three little words; not a lot I meaning on their own but when you put them together, they can mean so much. That's what I said to max before I fell asleep. I told him that I love him. He took it as brother/ sister love which is good because that how's I meant it at that moment. Then he said he loves me aswell.. The same brother/ sister love that I had meant but to hear those words come out of his mouth made my heart flutter. I went to sleep relatively happy but in y sleep. I was not happy at all. I started to have a nightmare. I was at home an James was there. He threatened to kill jay and max. He had them tied up in opposite corners. He said I only had time to save one. I could tell that I was tossing in my sleep.. I always do when I have bad dreams. Years were falling from my eyes as both Jay and Max were calling me to save them. But I couldn't... I could t choose between them. I shouted at James 'KILL ME! DO IT! NOW!' and he did. He shot me right in the chest which woke me up. I was in tears and I was trembling. Max was awake next to me with his arms around me telling me that it's fine, that he was here, that no one could hurt me. I believed him. After a while I had calmed down and I had stopped shaking, I still had a few tears but I could now breathe properly. Max was still soothing me.

"Now tell me what happened" he whispered.

"Ja-James, he he threatened t-to kill you and J-Jay. I could only save one" I stuttered "I couldn't choose, s-so I told him to k-kill me-e and he did"

"Oh Em, don't worry. That never going to happen. I'll be right here always. Whenever you need me just call me. That's what i'm here for" he rubbed circles in my back.

"But it all seemed so real" I sobbed.

"It will do. But I promise. Nothing will happen to you, they have to get through me and the boys first"

"Yeah, I suppose. But I couldn't choose Max. I couldn't"

"It's okay Em, it was only a dream"

"You're right. I'm being stupid" I wiped away my tears and cuddled up to him again. "You really are the best max"

"I know" he whispered and I fell asleep to his soothing voice as he sung personal soldier to me softly. Just before I was completely out I heard Max say,

"No one will ever hurt you, I promise" he said it more to himself but it made me smile and I fell into a peaceful dreamless sleep.

Jay's POV:

I lay awake in my bed. What am I going to do about Emily? I really like her but is he likes Max... How am I going to get her? She's basically friend zoned me. I kept thinking over plans that I could use to get her but they all were shit. None of them would work.

The other thing on my was earlier, in the guest room which is now Em's room.. What was going on? It obbiously wasn't nothing but why couldn't they tell me? It had something to do with Em because she had her head in her pillow and it could have concerned Max because he looked a little hurt? I know they haven't told eachother that their feelings because they didn't look happy but something was definitely up and I will find out.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard Em screaming. I leapt out of bed and padded down the corridor to her room. I opened the door slightly to see Max was in there comforting her. I saw that his jeans were on the chair so that means he slept in her with her. I know they didn't sleep together because, as gross as it sounds, I didn't hear anything. None of them noticed me but I just watched him soothe her through the small crack in the door, the whole time I just thought 'that should be me' but I know that wont ever happen. I couldn't hear what they were saying but I knew that whatever he was saying, should be me telling her. I decided that nothing good was going to happen if I carried on ease dropping so I walked away.

But because it is me were talking about, I couldn't just walk away. No, I had to go fall over. Luckily all the boys are sound sleepers but Max wasn't alseep. He came out from Em's room.

"Jay?"

"I was just, erm, getting a drink" I said brushing myself off. He raised and eyebrow and looked towards my hand where the drink would have been. "I drunk it" I said.

"Oh, okay. Well be quiet cause Em has just got to sleep" he smiled.

"Yeah, sorry" I whispered.

"Night"

"Night" with that I left and Max went back into the room shutting the door softly behind him.

I went and layed in bed that night and I think I must have had about 2 hours sleep. Not good.
