He soon returns with a bottle of warm milk and lifts me into his lap turning me so that I am lying his arm which holds the bottle. I flex my hard on his back as he puts the teat to my lips. I start sucking immediately and with my other hand touch his face. He smiles and I continue drinking. "Take your time, don't rush" he whispers. "I've got another bottle in the fridge just in case you need it" I nod and continue to flex my hand. Once I've finished the bottle, Jack slips me in between the bedcovers before gtting in the bed himself. As soon as he is in bed, I snuggle up to him and he puts an arm around me. "Go to sleep" he whispers.
It's not long before the flashbacks start coming on thick and fast. I thrash out, kicking wildly. "NO!" I scream pulling myself into the foetal position. "Lottie! Lottie!" I hear someone whisper lightly shaking my shoulder. I blink and sit up. Beside me Jack is just starting to wake up. "Liam? What are you doing up?" I turn my head and see Liam crouched next to the bed, his hand on the sheets. "I heard Lottie screaming and when I checked you weren't awake. So I tried to wake her to save you the trouble and let you get the sleep. I heard you get up the last time she had a nightmare. Figured it took you a while to get her to sleep so..." Jack nods yawning and stands up. "Thanks. You can go back to bed now, you need your sleep for shopping tomorrow" Liam nods and pats my shoulder. "Try not to keep Jack up too long yeah?" he jokes as he leaves the room. Once he's gone, Jack warms up the bottle and sits back down putting the bottle on the bedside table. "Can I just ask you something? Are you having nightmares or flashbacks?" I bite my lip whispering my answer. He nods and sits me on his lap. "Do you mind if we talk about these flashbacks?" I nod and he smiles at me warmly. "Shall we do it before or after your bottle?" "Before" I whisper. He nods and strokes my hair perhaps anticipating that there'll be more than a few tears will be shed. "What are your flashbacks about?" I swallow and take a deep breath. "My mummy's boyfriend Ben, he was quite violent. He'd tell me that I was worthless and lash out. It was always worse when he was drunk" Jack nods. "How did he lash out at you? Did he ever hit you, or did he do something else?" I have to take another deep breath."Most of the time it would only be hitting me but there was one time when he was extremely drunk when he lifted me by my collar." I can't handle it anymore and burst into tears. Jack is quick to hug me, kissing my hair gently. "Do you want your bottle now? We can always continue this tomorrow if you want" I nod and he puts the bottle's teat to my lips. As soon as it's in my mouth, I drink enjoying the soothing sensation. "Is that nice?" I nod and he smiles. "I'll stay up, to make sure that you don't have another flashback" I smile and continue drinking.
After my bottle, I fall asleep straight away.
