The day went on. Once the night came around, the family went to bed.

It was about three-thirty in the morning when Azlynn woke up in her bed, screaming.

It was a nightmare about the woman that kidnapped her as a child, Karen. Cody was there as well.

Karen had tied her up in a chair and slapped her until she bled. Karen walked away and was replaced by Cody, holding a gun pointed directly at Azlynn who was sobbing and screaming.

When the gun was fired, Azlynn woke up.

"Daddy!!" Azlynn screamed out for Louis and Harry. Azlynn screeched out their names over and over before they finally ran to her room.

Harry held Azlynn to her bed as she was squirming around while still screaming, tears violently falling down her face.

"Shh," Harry held his daughter close to her. Louis made an appearance a few seconds later.

Azlynn stopped thrashing around when Harry and Louis hugged her and kissed her head.

She just cried.

"Was it a nightmare?" Harry asked.

Azlynn nodded.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Louis asked, petting Azlynn's hair.

She shook her head and let out a choked sob. Evelyn woke up and joined everyone in her sister's room.

"Azzy?" Evelyn asked so innocently. She was really worried and scared for Azlynn.

Azlynn hid herself under her covers, burying her head under her pillows.

"Go in your room, Ev," Harry said, "Please."

"O-Okay," Evelyn stuttered out, "I love you, Azlynn," She said before leaving the room.

"I-I'm sorry," Azlynn cried to Louis and Harry, uncovering herself from her blankets.

"Sorry for what?" Harry asked.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, Az," Louis said.

"I dreamed about the woman that kidnapped me when I was little. She hit me until I bled," Azlynn cried while describing the horrible nightmare, "T-Then the boy that took me a few days ago showed up and shot me in the head. I-I woke up an-and scre-screamed."

Louis hugged her tightly. Harry rubbed circles on her back.

"It's going to be okay," Harry said sadly.

"We're here for you. Evelyn is too," Louis added.

Louis went to leave but waited for Harry.

"I'm going to lay with her tonight," Harry said softly as Azlynn was already asleep.

Louis nodded, then left the room.

Harry didn't sleep at all that night. He just softly sang some of Azlynn's favorite songs, including Fireproof from Four.

Azlynn stirred in her sleep, but was smiling.

She woke up again about two hours later, violently sobbing, causing Louis to run up the stairs again.

"Baby," Louis cooed to his daughter, "Baby you're okay."

Calming her down took about ten minutes.

"You're sure you don't want to go to sleep?" Louis asked Harry as he was about to leave the room.

Harry nodded. Louis pecked Harry's lips.

"Goodnight," Louis said.

Azlynn fell asleep again, quickly.

Harry kissed the top of her head. Azlynn began to cry in her sleep, Harry sang some more. Azlynn calmed down when he did.

She fell asleep again. Thankfully, the next day was a Sunday so there was no school to worry about.

{*****}

Azlynn woke up at around nine in the morning. She got up and Harry left the room before kissing the top of Azlynn's head.

Azlynn got dressed into a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a Captain America tee shirt. She brushed her hair and did her makeup, consisting of foundation, mascara, light eye shadow, and dark eyeliner, perfectly matching her dark hair.

She put on her favorite beanie - a black one with Captain America's shield designed on it - and opened her bedroom door.

Evelyn was right outside of her sister's room.

Azlynn gasped and almost fell over.

"Sorry," Evelyn apologized.

"'S alright," Azlynn shrugged it off, "What's up?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to come with my friends and I to hang out in a little bit? Violet's gonna be there," Evelyn smiled while telling Azlynn.

Violet was Azlynn's good friend. Azlynn was in love with her.

Azlynn grinned, "Yeah, of course."

"You look great by the way," Evelyn smiled.

"Thanks," Azlynn hugged her sister.

"I'm going to get dressed," Evelyn told her sister.

"Mkay," Azlynn said.

/a/n I'm sorry for the short chapter, and for the late update.

I got hit with really bad writers block, not gonna lie.
