crying in his sleep

I hold Johnny close to me a way to comfort him he took a real bad beating earlier I know hes trying not to complain but I can tell when he moves a certain way he winces

I finally got him to calm down and not be shooken up I put him to bed after I wiped him with a rag

I lift up his shirt checking his brusies if they've swollen up anymore or a different color

I fix his shirt and close my eyes falling asleep

Half asleep I hear crying like a baby I groan trying to push the sound out of my ears but it don't stop I rub my eyes slowly opening them and look around the room I look down beside me and see johnng wrapped up in the covers in a ball crying in his sleep

I slowly sit up and unwrap johnny from the covers I rub his stomach trying to calm him

"Shhh baby"

I shush his crys becoming louder I shake him gently trying to wake him he moves his arms and slowly opens his teary eyes
He sniffles and hugs me he grunts in pain I snake my arms around him

"You hurtin?"

I ask he nods his head whimpering I gently push him off of me and position him to lay on his back and move a pillow to his side laying his brusied arm on top of it

"Stay here ok cakes?"

I instruct he barely nods his head I get out of bed and go into the bathroom grabbing Tylenol and the heating pad that's in the sinks cabinets

I come back and lay the stuff on the bed I open the bottle and hand johnny 2 pills I give him the cup of water I help him lift his head and take the pills

"Sorry cakes I ain't got much to help ya you want some vodka to cool your nerves?"

I suggest already knowing the answer the kid tries not to touch alcohol too scared he's gonna end up like his pa

"N-no.."

He mumbles sniffling still crying I sigh frowning my eyes getting heavy I plug in the heating pad turning it up to the max

"Lift up hun hopefully this'll do the trick"

I tell him he slowly lifts his hips up I slide the heating pad underneath him he smiles weakly at me I pet his hair moving his sticky bangs out from his eyes

"Tell me if it's too hot"

I order he gently nods his head he holds out his hands I climb into bed and snake my arm across his torso his arm gently wrapped around my neck

"S-sorry I woke you"

He mumbles sniffling I sigh and kiss the tip of his nose

"Quit that it's my job to do this. I'm not complaining am I?"

He shakes his head I give him a quick smile he soon returns it

"You're gonna be fine hun it's gonna take time for your body to not be sore"

"I-I know dal.."

I rub the side of his torso and kiss him on his cheek

"Try and sleep cakes I got ya ain't no one gonna hurt you here just calm down"

I sooth not knowing how to comfort him fully but I'm trying and he knows it he smiles weakly and whispers a Goodnight

"Night babycakes I'll be here when you wake up"

I sooth kissing him on his cheek again he closes his eyes
