i shut the door after the police left and sighed a tiny sigh of relief.
"thank you for not letting him take me." i spoke softly to michael.
"i would never." michael replied.
"i love your mom, therefore i love you." he added as he headed upstairs with ashton not too far behind him.
i headed up to my room and laid in bed hoping i could find some sort of piece of peace of mind.
i couldn't.
i couldn't fall asleep for the life of me.
i laid there mindlessly staring at the ceiling for 3 hours until it was 1 am.
i slowly stood up and walked downstairs and into the kitchen where i poured myself some water and sat at the kitchen table.
i felt so exhausted physically, but i felt like i couldn't shut off my brain.
i sat there for another 2 hours before standing up.
it was now 3 am.
i grabbed my phone from back in my room and headed back downstairs on the couch.
i sat there stiffly as i played games on my phone hoping i would doze off, but i never did.
i heard shuffling feet head downstairs and immediately ducked on the floor so they wouldn't see me.
it was luke.
i decided to try and sneak back into my room so he wouldn't see me.
it didn't work out.
as i was walking back i accidentally stepped to hard and ran behind the wall to not be seen.
i heard luke whirl around before speaking, "who's there?"
i didn't make a sound.
"this isn't funny! who's there?" he spoke a little louder.
i was about to reveal myself when we both turned the corner at the same time scaring each other half to death.
"holy fuck!" i yelled as i flinched back.
to be completely honest, luke screamed louder than i did.
this caused all lights to go on in the house and everyone to run downstairs.
"holy shit! i thought someone was getting murdered." calum spoke as he put down the plastic baseball bat he brought.
"who the fuck screamed like that?" michael groaned as he rubbed his forehead.
i pointed at luke and everyone threw him a glare.
"why'd you scream like that?" ashton spoke with a slight tone of annoyance.
"ashton, she scared the living shit out of me. i thought it was one of you trying to fuck with me, but we turned the corner at the same time and i head a heart attack." luke replied as he shot me a tiny glare.
"it's not my fault your a scaredy cat." i muttered.
"i'm going back to bed." calum announced as he walked back upstairs followed by luke who now felt a bit bad about waking everyone up.
"i didn't know luke was even capable of screaming like that." michael mumbled.
"i didn't either." i shrugged.
"i'm going to head back upstairs. goodnight y'all." ashton spoke as he gave his a soft smile.
"why are you up right now anyways?" michael asked.
"cant sleep."'i shrugged.
"want to sleep in my room?" michael asked.
i nodded as we headed upstairs together.
"how about we turn on a movie and see if that helps." michael suggested as he laid down next to me.
i nodded once again and he turned on the princess and the frog.
i looked over at him and saw how relaxed he seemed as he watched the movie.
how safe i really felt with him even thought i didn't know or acknowledge his as a father figure yet.
"you're staring." michael chuckled as he looked down at me.
i immediately turned away and looked at the tv.
"you can lean on me if you want." he spoke softly.
i slowly crept over and leaned my head against his chest listening to his heartbeat.
that in itself put me to sleep.
the last thing i remember was tiana turning into the frog because she kissed the frog and michael breathing slowing down as he fell asleep.
i missed how comforting this was.
