Y/n's pov
For as long as I can remember I've absolutely HATED loud noises. Something about them makes me panic, really bad and always end up in me having an anxiety attack. One thing that always did this were fireworks. They were one of the worst things I could ever experience, and with my luck, tonight I was going to experience them.
Today was the 4th of July, and tonight Nevermore were doing a huge outdoor barbecue and a firework display. Great. Me and Xavier walk down to the back field where the event was being held, me linking on to his arm.
When we arrived, we saw Enid and Ajax with Wednesday and so we walk over to them and grab a can of soda from the table of drinks.
'So guys, are we all excited for the fireworks!!!' Enid asks clapping her hands in excitement. Everyone replied with 'Meeeee' and I just decided to stay quiet.
We all enjoyed sone bbq food, burgers, hotdogs etc until Principal Weems stood in front if the crowd.
'Silence please everyone! Silence! Thank you, thank you. Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you all have such a pleasant time. The fireworks are starting in 5 minutes' she says.
Shit. I take the opportunity upon myself to mention to Xavier that I'm scared of the fireworks.
'Xavier, listen um I'm really sorry I didn't tell you before okay, but um I'm kinda scared if the fireworks. Like when I say kinda, I mean extremely. I don't know what to do. I mean I wanna see them but I just don't like hearing them, I don't do good with loud noises' I ramble on.
'Hey, look it's gonna be fine. Do you have your headphones with you love?' he asks.
'Umm yeah they're right here, why?' I pull them out my pocket.
'Okay, plug them into your phone and play some music, and I'll cover your ears too so that hopefully you don't hear them, sound okay?' he asks.
'Thats good, thank you so much Xavier' I say holding onto him.
'No problem at all baby, you're safe' he says.
The fireworks are just about to start and as I pull out my phone to play a song, my phone dies. Shit shit shit.
'Xavier, my fucking phone just died what do I do' I start to panic.
'Oh shit um okay here one second. I'll get you mine' he says pulling out his phone, but we were too late. The first firework set off and I instantly flinched, trying to cover my ears.
'Fuck fuck fuck' Xavier says, pulling me into him to try and cover my ears whilst trying to get his phone to load the music up.
All of a sudden, our song starts playing in my headphones.
PLAY- NOTHING'S GONNA HURT YOU BABY~CIGARETTES AFTER SEX
He spins me around so that my back is on his chest, his hands cupping around my ears to shield me from the noise. Although I'm still shaking a little from hearing them at first, I start to calm down because I can barely hear them anymore. Xavier's thumb starts to rub the side of my face gently, and he rests his chin on top of my head. I look up at the fireworks, bright purple sparkles filling the sky.
He looks to me, mouthing 'you okay?' to me and I nod, smiling.
I love him so much. Everything we do, his first priority is to make sure that I'm okay, and that I'm safe. It means the world to me that he cares and loves for me so much. No one has ever loved me like he does.
