Juliette's POV
When I arrive home, it's late afternoon. My husband and my daughter were sitting on the couches talking. immediately, my husband jumps up from off the couch and informs me, "Hey, we need to talk." I shake my head in agreement and I watch as he squeezes our daughters hand and pulls himself up and we go to our hallway. His hand moves over his hair as he says, "Leila has been getting bullied at school." A gasp comes out of my mouth. He continues, "And she has been harming herself for a few months." I stare at him in complete shock. I cover my mouth, "Oh my god. Is she okay?!" Aaron answers me, "She will be. I am going to go to her school tomorrow." I ask, "How'd you figure out she was harming herself?" My husband replies, "She broke down and I saw her fiddling with her sleeve and asked her if she was hiding something. And I told her to show me and she did." Aaron quickly adds, "I fixed her wounds right away, so she's okay now." I exhale , "Oh my god." I ask another question, "Can-can I see?" His voice is soothing as he whispers beside me, "Yes, love. I'll go ask her." My husband goes back over to our daughter and states the request. My daughter accepts the request but is a little hesitant but Aaron rubs her back, saying, "It's okay." Leila rolls her sleeve up and shows the small bandage wrapped around her wrist. Then she stands up and I watch as her father carefully helps her pull the pant leg down so I can see another bandage starting at her thighs and ending at her leg. His hands wrap around her and he carefully eases her back onto the couch and pulls the pant leg up to its normal place. My husband tells me, "I showed her my own scars too. And I'm going to her school first thing tomorrow." Leila yawns and tells us, "I'm tired." I nod, "It is late." She starts to stand and my protective husband, Aaron Warner, wraps his arms around her swiftly and gently picks her up, "No walking remember." Leila sighs but obliges. I open the door to her room for him so he can put her to bed. Her body is placed on her bed softly and he ticks her in and I go over to her too and give her a hug and a kiss and say, "I love you, honey. Goodnight." She says she loves me too. Aaron says, "Sleep tight, my love. I love you very much." Leila smiles at her father, my dear husband, "I love you too, Dad." A kiss is planted on her forehead before my husband and I head to our own rooms.

Shortly after, me and my husband are drifting to sleep after talking about Leila a bit.

Aaron's POV
I am immediately awaken when I hear sounds coming from Leila's room at around midnight. I practically throw myself into her bedroom, I see her curled in a ball, shaking and crying. I turn on the small lamp on her nightstand when I hear her squirm and cry out, "Stop-stop it! Leave me alone!" I find her face and place it in my hands I say repeatedly, "Hey,hey, what's the matter, love?" Her crying and squirming worsens when she hears me. I say, "it's not real, baby. You are safe. I'm here. Come here, my sweet girl." She sobs against me, I ask while stroking her hair, "Do you want to talk about it?" She shakes her head no. I say, "Okay. Okay, we won't talk about it. Just keep your eyes on me." My daughter looks me in the eyes, "I won't let no one hurt you ever again, love. I promise. And if you have another nightmare I'll fight them off for you." I wipe a tear from her face as she laughs a little. I smile, letting her rest on top of my chest, "Sleep. I'll stay with you tonight." She relaxes into my touch. And sleep she  does. She doesn't wake up with anymore nightmares that night, she sleeps soundlessly in my arms comfortably.
