Be My Escape (boyxboy) [ON HOLD]

Chapter Seven

Alright people, I'm super happy with the amount of views I've been getting! It felt amazing to see that I had reached over 250 :) BUT, once again, my goals werent met. But I'm a person of my word, and I said I would post if I got to 250 views. This IS  a short chapter though since the goals werent met. I mean, when I posted that I wanted 250 views or the goals to be met in order to post, I never thought people would actually read this. I thought that 250 was asking for too much. And yet, I've gotten more than that. I was so excited, I started writing at like 12 AM -.- So now I'm tired. It may be short, but it's good enough for me, and hopefully you too. Thanks so much for your response, but I'd LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY, if you got to the goals :)

Logans POV

I woke up feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin, coming in through the window. Then I remembered that I have curtains covering my windows in my room. I opened my eyes and saw that I wasnt in my bed anymore, but in Devins. 

Thats right. He had a nightmare or something last night. 

The memory caused me to flinch slightly. I can still hear the sound of his screams, the look of pure terror in his eyes as tears flowed out of his eyes. My heart broke at the sight of him, and all I could do to help was hold him, as if sheilding him from the dream. 

Last Night:

I cant sleep. I've been sitting in my bed for the past two hours, trying to fall asleep, but not managing a single minute of blissful slumber. I was feeling uneasy and restless, which isnt particularly normal for me. Usually, I would just lay down and pass out in less than two minutes. But tonight, I couldnt even keep my eyes closed for a second before opening them again in frustration. 

Sighing, I pushed the covers back and got up to get a book or something to occupy me until I felt a bit tired. I was about to turn on my lamp when I heard an ear splitting scream, making me freeze in fear and shock. It was the sound of a male screaming, thats for sure. But too high pitched to be my dad.

Oh God. Devin.

I practically flew into his bedroom and flung the door open, praying to God he wasnt hurt. What I had saw instead, was much worse. 

He was sitting upright, screaming his lungs out. When he had no air left to use, he kept his mouth open, as if he was silently yelling out. His hair was matted against his forehead in sweat, and he was shaking without any control over his body. Tears were evidently on his face, leaving streaks of moisture. 

The sound of a broken sob tore me away from my shock, and I was now running over to him, and pulling him into my arms. I slowly rocked him back and forth, rubbing his back, trying to soothe him. I knew that if I tried to get him to speak, he would just choke on his words, and besides, I dont think he would appreciate me prying when he was busy crying his eyes out. So I just let him rest into my hold as he continued to sob and whimper. 

After a minute or so, mom and dad came bursting in as well, looking terrified and unbelievably scared. I shooed them away, somehow knowing that Devin wouldnt want anyone else coddleing him. They left, not really sure about it, but did so regardless. 

His sobs started to lessen, and then he was falling asleep with his head resting on my chest. 

Present Time:

Oh dear lord. What on Earth had caused him to be so frightened. Hell, I was scared myself. He must've gone through some serious shit if he was screaming in his sleep from nightmares. 

I glanced down a bit to see him lying with his cheek pressed against my chest, his right hand curled into a loose fist close to his head. His hair was toussled and brushed against my chin and his face was completely relaxed. My arm was tucked tightly around his waist and our bodies were molded together with our legs intertwined. 

He yawned in his sleep and stretched a bit, curling his small frame closer to mine. I smiled at how adorable and cute he was while he slept, wanting nothing more than to be able to capture this moment. With my free hand, I reached over and lightly stroked his cheek, hoping he wouldnt wake up and find me staring at him in his sleep like a creeper. I sighed and brushed some of his hair away from his face. 

"Pst!" I jumped at bit at the noise, and blushed a bit at being caught. But my mother didnt seem to notice as she looked at Devin worriedly (SP?). "Is he alright?" She whispered over to me, not walking into the room, for she didnt want to wake him. 

I looked back down at him, and images of last night flashed before my eyes once again. So I turned back to my mom, and whispered back truthfully, "I dont know."

Alrightly people, since last time, I barely got even close to my goals, they remain the same. Same amount of comments and votes needed for the next chapter. If you dont remember what they are, look back and see, cuz I'm too lazy to write it all again. 

****I will post regardless if I get 400 views (keep in mind that if the goals arent met, and the views amount is, the chapter WILL be shorter)
