Part Fourteen - Nightmare

Flynn's POV //

She yawned, exhausted from the massive dinner Zac cooked up and entertaining Kian's need to act out every dancing scene.

"Tired, baby?" I mumbled against the side of her head. She smelt like me, I loved it.

She nodded, burying her face against my neck. I'm ticklish but with her, it was nothing but perfect.

She relaxed into my arms before I laid her into bed.

"Night" she mumbled, falling asleep in my arms. Safe and sound.

"Goodnight beautiful"

2:22am

I felt rustling within my arms, startling me from my sleep.

"No... please" she mumbled. I looked at her face, she was having a nightmare.

I pulled her closer, kissing her head. "I'm here baby, you're safe" I cooed, rubbing her back.

Her eyes shot open, panting as tears brimmed her eyes.

She sat up, looking around the room before grinning.

I did the same, looking to see Kian asleep at the end of my bed and Zac on the chair in front of the door.

"Aren't they uncomfortable?" She whispered, lying back in my arms.

They stayed, even after she fell asleep, they stayed. To protect her.

I looked down to see her already staring a me, smiling, melting my heart.

"He came into the house, shoved the door open. That's how this happened" She began explaining, tracing her hand over the scar.

I shut my eyes, ready to feel the heartbreak of something I could've prevented.

"He forced me to break whatever it is we are. Like knife to the throat. After I called out, he took me to the lake, playing that stupid ass song. I know I wasn't with him for long but god, it felt like forever. He made me sit on his lap and had the audacity to cry" she spoke softly, pausing to take breaths.

I felt my heart tingle, a fire inside it igniting, burning through every inch.

"I said no, Flynn I swear to god I said no" she whimpered, looking up at me... for approval?

I caressed her face, shaking my head. "It's not your fault baby, you're so strong. it's not your fault"

She shut her eyes, letting the tears fall. I wiped them away, kissing her forehead.

I swear, if she wasn't in my arms right now, I would do unspeakable things to that monster.

"I love you, Flynn. I love you" She whispered, lying on top of me. I smiled, she loves me.

"I love you, Mila. I love you"
