RUN AWAY || H.S

Harry's POV.

"No, please, no! Stop!"

I froze, my ears perked up at the sound of pleases.

"Let me go"

My eyes widen and I moved the glass of water I was drinking on the counter and I quickly ran towards the bedroom from where the whimpering and pleases are coming from.

Once I reached inside our room I saw laying on the bed, wrapped inside the sheets in a cocoon and thrashing.

I frowned at the scene in front of me making me walk towards her immediately and look at her. Her entire body is cocooned in the sheets except for her legs and her head. The sheets are bunched up against her neck which looks suffocating.

Her red face, she kept murmuring to let go, to not her. It didn't take me a second to understand what was happening.

She was having a nightmare.

I was quick to get on the bed and I went blank for a second there not knowing what to do. I looked at her again and noticed how the blankets are tight around her neck making me snap my hands to remove the covers first "Baby!"

"Hey, hey" I somehow rolled her until I could pull the covers from under her writhing body and then rolled open the covers freeing her body but she still didn't stop.

Tears rolled down her cheek, her face still red "Don't please... I am sorry"

Her eyebrows furrowed and sweat on her forehead, red face. Whines fall from her lips desperately for help and that sound makes my heart lurch.

"Baby, hey, it's Harry" I moved to sit and pulled her in my arms just like I used to do in the beginning and hug her to my chest. I patted her cheeks softly, she was still thrashing her legs "Baby, come one, please, wake up, it's just a bad dream"

"No, please don't... Dominic, please don't" I stilled, my hand on her cheek.

Dominic?

She is dreaming about Dominic, instantly heard filled my eyes. I hugged her tight to me, moving my one hand to stop her legs from moving "Come on, baby, wake up. It's not Dominic. He is gone baby" I kept whispering in her ears.

I had her on my lap, her ear rested against my chest, and my one hand holding her up while the other holds her legs.

"Come on, darling, wake up. See, it's me... Please open your eyes" all of a sudden she gasped loudly before her eyes flew open, her gaze falling on me and her eyes widen before she pushed me away and practically jumped off the bed and fall right on her ass.

I didn't even have the time to process what just happened before she whispered "Stay away... Don't hurt me" she crawled back towards the corner and I stayed frozen on the bed looking into her fearful eyes.

"I am not going to hurt, baby bug" I whispered moving towards her slowly making her cower more into her corner "Baby?"

The sheer terror in her eyes filled with dread. I wish I could take it away. I would do anything to take it all away.

"Please don't... I am sorry" she whispered burrowing her face between her knees, hugging herself.

"Baby, it's Harry. I will never hurt you. I love you, Alana" she peeked her eyes open from between her knees.

"Harry?" her voice hoarse from crying.

"Yes. Baby. Harry. Your Harry" I whispered not daring to move "Can I please come there?" she nodded her head making me sigh in relief and I moved towards her.
