The Boy Trapped

Chapter 32

Colette's POV
He kept his promise and gave me, my rings when, I was allowed to have them. At home, he helped me shower and get dressed. He picked me up and brought me to our bed. He put me in my spot then laid down. He started kissing me. He cupped my face then pressed our foreheads together.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

He slid his hands up the back of my shirt.

"You can take it off if you want."

He unhooked my bra and took it off. He threw it off to the side. He got on top of me and keep kissing me. He started tugging on my shirt. We took of our clothes and we went back to kissing me. He interlocked our fingers.

He went in and started moving. He started kissing my neck. I woke up that night screaming. I started hyperventilating.

"N-Nyx? H-help."

"Woah. What just happened?"

"I-I don't know."

He cupped my face.

"Look at me. Breathe. I'm right here."

My mind started racing. I gulped.

"Come here. Come here."

Nyxon started holding me. He started rocking me.

"Breathe. I'm right here. Shhh."

I started to calm down.

"There we go. What was it about?"

"T-the guy...I-I saw him."

"What guy? The one that assaulted you?"

I started nodding.

"Okay. Okay. It's okay. I'm right here. I love you. It's okay."

I wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around me.

"T-thank you.."

"Shhhh. Don't talk. Focus on relaxing. Go back to sleep. I'll stay up for a bit to watch you."

He started cradling my head. He started running his fingers through my hair. He kissed the side of my head. I shut my eyes and focused on breathing. I woke up and he was still holding me. I looked up. He was awake.

"N-Nyxy?"

"Hey baby. Do you feel better?"

"I-I'm still tired."

"You're emotionally drained. This happens to the both of us, remember?"

I shook my head.

"My head was all over the place. I wasn't thinking."

"Ah. I figured. Well, you're safe. We'll just hang out here. You should be resting anyway."

"I love you."

"I love you too. We don't have to talk about it. You don't force me to talk about it. I won't force you to talk about it. I'll take off tomorrow if you need me too."

"You've missed enough. Please go back."

I wanna cry.

"Let it out."

"H-huh?"

"Cry. Break."

"H-how'd you know?"

"I know you. Cry."

I listened and let it all come out. He started holding me tighter and closer. He pressed our foreheads together.

"I'm right here. I won't talk. I'll just hold you."

I started coughing into my arm. He started patting my back. He got up and got dressed.

"Okay. I'm going to get you water. I'll be right back."

He got up and let me go. He came back with a cold bottle of water. He opened it and handed to me.

"Drink slowly."

I know, he's talking to me like I'm a kid. It's honestly what I need right now. I need a calm voice to help me get through this breakdown. I started shaking. He took the water bottle away and put the cap on. He put it down then grabbed my hands. I started squeezing his hands.

I started to relax after a while.

"There we go. Better?"

I shrugged.

"Alright."

He handed me the water bottle again. I opened it then started drinking it.
