Chemical Love (Craig Mabbitt Fanfic)

Chapter 30

*Anastasia's POV*

I woke up screaming and covered in a blanket of sweat. I noticed I was trembling when the bunk curtain was ripped open. On instinct my fist collided with a face.

'Holy shit. Craig are you alright?' TJ asked looking at the man on the ground holding his nose.

'I'm fine. Anastasia what happened? You OK?' Craig asked me standing up to be face-to-face with me. He wiped away tears that I weren't even aware of. I shook my head and leaned into his embrace sobbing.

He was coming after me and there wasn't a thing I could do about it.

It took a while of Craig whispering comforting words in my ear to calm me down even in the slightest. I pulled away and smiled a little when I saw how much my tears soaked his shirt. It was only Craig and me in the bunk room now and he was lying in my bunk with me. The others left to give us privacy and I was feeling a little insecure with so many people.

'Can you tell me what happened now?' Craig asked me softly.

'I dreamt about Dan,' I whispered with a quivering voice, 'he came after me and kidnapped me. I-I was helpless...and h-he continuously abused me. He also beat you unconscious a-and...' I trailed off trying to hold back tears.

'What did he do Tay?'

'He k-killed you in front of me...' I began crying again but not as bad.

'Hey, it was just a dream. It's not gonna happen. I promise you that he's not going to get anywhere near you again and he'll be locked up,' Craig tried to sooth me.

'I know it was a dream but it felt so real!' I screamed at him. I pulled away from him and instantly felt bad for yelling.

'Craig, I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to yell,' my tears started to cease.

'It's OK, you don't have to apologise. Do you want to go get something to eat?' I nodded and got out of my bunk to make myself semi-presentable. I threw on black skinny jeans and loose tank top with my leather jacket over top. I ran a brush through my hair but left my make-up.

I walked out into the main room to receive looks of sympathy and hugs from the band and Emily. Craig went to the front of the bus to talk to the driver as I sat down next to Emily.

'Alright, Anastasia, where do you want to stop for food? This place has basically everyone,' Craig asked poking his head back.

'Steak and shake!' I replied, quite loudly compared to how I was talking before. Craig returned my smile and told the driver. He looked for a spot on the couches to sit but saw that there were none. I stood up and let him sit down before lying across everyone on that couch with my head on Craig's lap. That included Craig, Emily and Robert.

'Bloody hell that was a mood change!' Robert exclaimed smiling at me. I smiled half-heartedly as I remembered the dream.

'Yeah, I got tested for bipolar disorder when I was 15 but it came back negative,' I informed them shrugging. The bus finally pulled over and I jumped and skipped to the door. I was just about to open it when I froze.

'Craig...' I said softly turning to face him, 'you Robert and Kevin are coming with me. Emily and TJ-you two stay here and make sure...he...doesn't try and break in to look through my stuff or something weird like that,' Craig, Robert and Kevin stood up and walked over to me as I moved aside to let someone else open the door.

Dan might be standing there waiting for me...

I am definitely a paranoid person but you can't really blame me.
