7 Minutes ~ Jude Bellingham

nightmare

TW: mentions of abuse, explicit language

"You can't run away from me anymore you little bitch, and there's no one who will come and save you." Ralf screamed as I stood with my back against the wall. He had trapped me, and there was absolutely no way for me to escape.

"Pl-please don't hurt me Ralf. Please." I stuttered. I've never been more scared in my whole life than in this moment.

"I'm going to kill you, you're nothing more than a useless fucking slut. And now there is no fucking Bellingham to save you." Ralf yelled at me while taking something out of his pocket.

A knife.

"NO RALF PLEASE NO DON'T KILL ME I'LL DO ANYTHING RALF PLEASE" I screamed, the tears running down my cheeks. I was in pure panic. 

This is it, this is how it ends. Mama, papa, Leonie, Jude, I love you all. 

"Too bad kitten, say hi to your grandparents from me when you see them there" he said before he took the knife to stab me.

"NO RALF NOO PLEASE NO"

Lena's POV:

Jude's house, Dortmund - 3u23

"NOOOOO" I screamed while I shot up in my bed.

I quickly went to touch my stomach with my hands to check for any stab wounds, but nothing was there. When I looked around, I saw I was in my room. In Jude's house. 

No stab wounds, no danger, no Ralf. It was all just a horrific nightmare

I bursted out in tears. The nightmare looked so real, it felt as if he was really there.

All of a sudden the door opened and Jude rushed inside.

"Lena are you okay? What happened? Do I have to call an ambulance for you? Please God, tell me you're okay" he yelled out, clearly in a panic.

"I-I had a ni-nightmare" I managed to get out between sobs. I looked up at Jude and saw him standing in front of me looking super sleepy and very awake at the same time. He had a look of worry and compassion in his eyes.

"Did my sweet butterfly have a nightmare?" he whispered while kneeling down in front of me. I couldn't do anything else except nodding. He sat down in front of me and opened his arms for me. I didn't even hesitate a moment and dived right into his arms. I immediately had a feeling of safety.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked. "Can we talk about it tomorrow?" I asked him, and he immediately said "Yes, of course angel. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

It was silent for a few moments. He was probably recovering from the heart attack I gave him with my screaming and I was recovering from the things I saw in my nightmare.

After a few moments of comfortable silence, Jude spoke up again. "I'm going back to bed, come get me if you need anything". Before he was able to get up, I pulled his arm and said "No please don't leave me, I need you". I could feel my eyes starting to get wet again.

He wrapped his arms back around me and whispered "Shhh butterfly it's allright, I'm not going anywhere". I laid my head against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. 

"Do you want to come and sleep in my bed? I'll hold you if you want me to." Jude said, and I nodded.

He picked me up and carried me to his bedroom, placing me down in his bed. He tucked me in and got in next to me. After making sure I was warm enough, he scooted closer to me and wrapped his arms around me. I got as close to him as I possibly could, and I relaxed. 

Jude brought me a feeling of safety, of home. When I was with him I felt like nothing could happen to me.

"Goodnight butterfly, please wake me up if you need anything. I got you, okay?" he said. "Okay, thank you for everything Jude." I answered. He chuckled before giving me a kiss on my nose.

A few minutes later we both fell asleep, tangled up in each other's arms.

AN: Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know that my exams are starting on Thursday. I'll try to update if I can tho! 

And I still haven't recovered from the fact that BVB didn't win the title last week :(
