Everything Has Changed

Shot In The Dark

...

Joe had just came back from the grocery store. Holding the heavy bags, he headed to the kitchen and placed them on the table. As he sighed, he started taking the things out of the plastic bags and placing them in the fridge and in their specific shelf.
After a few minutes of putting everything in order, he took off his shoes and started making his way silently to his bedroom.

Pushing the door slowly as he entered the room, he could distinguish a sleeping beauty, whose name is Taylor. He smiled softly and started taking off his clothes, folding them straight and putting them in the drawers. Then, in the tip of his toes, he slowly climbed the bed, and lied next to her. Even though it was dark, the moonlight made it easier to him to see her. He couldn't stop looking at her face. She was sleeping so peacefully, her blue eyes shut, her fairy nose inhaling and exhaling the oxygen she was saving in her lungs.

He took a strand of her messy hair and tucked it behind her ear. She had a soft smile on her lips, which probably a good dream caused and Joe couldn't help but chuckle lightly. Suddenly, Taylor mumbled an I love you too and rolled to the other side of the bed, now Joe facing her back. He grins and wraps his arms around her chest, spooning her from behind with his body.

He kissed her blonde hair and then placed his chin above her head. The breathing of hers, lulled him and soon he started drifting off sleep, but before it he whispered I love you too my singer.

In the middle of the night, around 2am Taylor started moving uncontrollably in her sleep. She was becoming sweaty. Words were coming out of her mouth, most of them unclear.
Joe felt her moves as he was a light sleeper and he opened his eyes slowly.
No...he heard and it made him curious. He trapped her in an embrace that's when Taylor accidentally kicked him with her knee on his balls and she woke up from a loud scream. Well... Joe's scream.

She tried to stabilize her respiratory system and gulped her saliva down. Then she turned her head to see Joe in a fetus position, biting his lips, and holding his thing. She kicks really hard and he could admit it.

"Joe are you okay?!" she said worried for him

"You just kicked me in your sleep!!" he whisper shouted

"What?!" her mouth dropped

"Shit..." he mouthed "You were probably having a nightmare and you kicked my balls! Ouch!" he said

"Love I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" he hugged him immediately "I didn't do it on purpose. It was by accident"

"It's okay Tay... Let's just hope we're going to have kids in the future because that kick...oh God..." he tried to relax "What the heck were you dreaming of" he asked

"Things..." she averted her gaze off him

"Like what?"

"Like things. Don't you know what things is?" she says

"I know you kicked me and it still hurts. I want to know the nightmare which made you so upset."there's a pause" I want to know to help"

She takes a deep breath and says "It's about the scar and you. I don't wanna say further things" she lowered her head

"Babe...you know you can open up yourself when it's me"

"I-... I-... I'm not ready" tears were threatening to fall

"But I want to help y-" she cut him off

"I SAID I'M NOT READY!" she shouted and brought her legs close to her chest, and wrapped her arms around them. She lowered her head and started sobbing.
