What About Her?

5.

Leigh-Anne was dozing off while Brenda was watching some movie on her laptop when a notification popped up. She was getting a call.

From Perrie.

"Let me take this really quickly"

Brenda nodded and Leigh-Anne went into her room, closing the door. She answered the call.

"Leigh?"

"Yes baby"

"I'm really scared. I need you. Please come get me."

"What happened?"

"I had a nightmare and it's pitch black in here. Please Leigh." Leigh-Anne could hear the fear in her voice. 

"Alright calm down. I'm coming, find a movie for us to watch okay?"

"Kay. Please hurry."

"I'm coming" Leigh-Anne closed the laptop rushing out of her bedroom.

"Sorry about cutting it short tonight bree. I'll Uh, make it up to you. Gotta go bye" the front door slammed as she began making her way downstairs. 

"Where you going, Pinnock?"  She heard a voice ask from behind her.

"Uh, to check on a few patients I heard they need some help down in the basement."

"You better leave that woman alone. I don't want to deal with any deaths in my establishment."

"Yes sir. Have a good night" Leigh-Anne picked up her pace. Once she got downstairs she rushed to Perrie's room. She unlocked her door making her way inside. She left the door open so that the light from the hallway would light up her room a bit.

Soon as she stepped foot in the room Perrie jumped on her. Wrapping her legs around her.

"Get down baby"

"I'm scared."

"What did you see in your nightmare?" Leigh-Anne asked going over to sit on her bed.

"Her"

"Who's her? What about her?"

"She's gone. They're coming for me next."

"Who is she and who's coming for you."

"The bad guys" She whimpered into Leigh-Anne. As much as Leigh-Anne wanted to stay awake with Perrie she was tired.

"Can you lay with me like last time?"

"Are you going to try to sleep if I do?"

"Yes." Leigh-Anne laid in the soft bed with perrie. She cuddled up to Leigh-Anne. 

"Where are you going?" She asked Leigh-Anne when she got up. 

"Lay down" Perrie did as told watching Leigh-Anne. She grabbed one of the soft covered books and put it in between the lock and door frame so that the door would close but it wouldn't lock. She got back into the bed and Perrie got close to her. Leigh-Anne began to rub her back knowing it helped to put her to sleep.

"I don't want to die Leigh-Anne"

"You're not going to die, at least not anytime soon."

"But it felt so real"

"I bet it did. But trust me. It's all a part of the process."Leigh-Anne yawned.

"Are you tired?" Leigh-Anne nodded.

"You can sleep.  I'll make sure nothing happens to you."

"Thank you Perrie"

"Welcome" Leigh-Anne closed her eyes.  She was dozing off once again. She felt Perrie lay behind her and wrap her hands around her waist.Leigh-Anne knew that it wasn't right but the warm tingling that she was feeling was telling her otherwise.
