The Boy Trapped

Chapter 13

Colette's POV
"D-don't t-touch me."

"It's me. It's Colette. You're safe."

I ran my fingers through his hair.

"I-I wanna go home!"

"Nyxon you're home. Look at me."

He shook his head.

"Why not?"

"I-I'm tired o-of y-your f-face."

I pushed his knees down. I straddled him. I cupped his face.

"It's me! It's me! You're safe!"

I felt his body relax.

"C-Coley?"

"It's me. I'm right here."

He wrapped his arms around me. He burrowed his face into the crook of my neck. He broke down.

"Shhh. You're okay. I've got you."

I felt Winter licking me. I picked her up and put her in his lap.

"I-I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight."

"That's okay. I'll stay up with you."

"Y-you will?"

"Mhm."

I stood up.

"Let's go lay down."

He stood up and we walked to his bed. He put Winter down on his bed. We laid down and I held my arms out. He got in them and I wrapped them around him. I started scratching his back.

"You're okay. I've got you. I love you."

"I-I love you too." He said as his voice cracked.

"C-can we just stay in bed tomorrow?"

"If that's what you want then yes."

"Thank you."

We just laid there and talked. When he stopped responding to me, I checked on him. He was sleeping. I kissed his forehead. Winter was sleeping by his head.

I should do something for him tomorrow.

He wants to stay in bed all day.

I could make him breakfast.

Maybe he'd like that?

When he rolled over, I got up. I walked to the kitchen. I started looking around for something to make.

Does this boy...

Not even eat pancakes or waffles?

I eventually found pancake mix. It was just on a high shelf.

Son of a-

I climbed onto the counter. I reached up and grabbed the pancake mix box. I started to lose my balance.

Fuck!

Fuck!

I felt arms going around my waist.

"What're you doing?"

"I wanted to make you breakfast. I was going to bring it to you."

He chuckled.

"You didn't have to do that."

He sat me down on the counter.

"B-but I wanted to make you feel better."

"You don't need to make me food to make me feel better."

He moved hair out of my face.

"I thought...it'd help since...it's your birthday."

"Baby it's fine."

"A-are you sure?"

"Mhm."

"There's gotta be something I can do."

"Careful what you say."

"Hm?"

He started kissing my neck.

"Give me a baby. THAT'S how you can make me feel better."

"Alright. Does Winnie have to go outside?"

"Damnit. I'll be back. Winnie come here!"

Winter ran into the kitchen and they went outside. I started humming something while I waited. When they came back in, he gave her a treat. He washed his hands after. He picked me up. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He started kissing me.
