Faking it? Walker x Leah

Leah's POV

After we had finally excepted that there was nothing we could do, we walked into the room and set down our stuff

" You can have the bed, I know how much you love to sleep" Walker said sweetly

" Thanks Walker, I do love my beauty rest" I said gratefully 

" And boy, do you need it" he said playfully 

I smacked him on the shoulder 

" Rude" I said 

He shrugged

" Hey, I'm a 14 year old boy who just got cast to play THE Persassy, what did you expect" He said jokingly 

I smacked him again

" Ok, ok,ok, I'm sorry, no need to get abusive" He said, rubbing his shoulder 

I laughed, and then set my things down on the bed.

Floyd is never going to let me live this down

Time skip to night time

I had been tossing and turning all night, struggling with a nightmare 

I awoke with a scream, and a whimper 

I looked up to be met with Walkers tired eyes

" I'm sorry, did I wake you up" I asked

" You did, but it's alright. I just wanted to make sure you were okay" he asked with concern in his voice

" I'm fine, just a nightmare" I responded

He really is the sweetest person ever

" What was it about" he asked curiously 

I tensed up, I didn't like to talk about it. Walker obviously noticed, and quickly tried to retract his question 

" You don't have to answer if you don't want too, I just don't you to go through it alone" he said 

Something about the way he said that, made me want to open up to him

" No, no it's ok. It's just not something I like to talk about. But I WANT to tell you. You just have to promise you won't tell anyone" I asked

He stick out his pinky, I stick out mine. And we both kissed our knuckles

"Okay" I took a deep breath

"When I was 8, my best friend died because her house caught on fire in the middle night. None of her family made it out. Ever since, I've had these random nightmares about waking up in a house of fire." I started to tear up

" Her name was Layla, I miss her every second of every day" I said. I must have been full on crying by now

He must've known the best thing to do, because he reached out and wrapped me  in a hug until I stopped crying 

His hugs could do that to you, make you feel like everything was ok in the world

But because he was Walker, the first thing he said when I stopped crying was...

" Hey, not all fire is bad, think of LeoMcShizzle-Bad boy-Supreme" 

If you don't get that reference, GO READ HEROES OF OLYMPUS 

I laughed, I had only known him for like 3 days, and I already had shared my hardest secret with him.

He hugged me for a few more seconds, when he pulled away to look me in the eye

 "are you going to be ok" he said, concerned 

I nodded, then he started to get up

" Wait" I said on impulse 

" Can you stay with me" i asked quietly

He gave me a small smile and laid back down 

I returned the small smile, and started to get comfortable 

I was about to fall asleep, when I felt an arm wrap around my waist

I blushed, but did nothing to stop it

I soon fell into a peaceful sleep, burrowing deeper into Walkers chest

I had thought I heard a squeal before I drifted off, but I was so calm and happy, that I simply didn't care.

A/N I am on a ROLL with updating. Not only did you get two chapters in one night, BUT there was an amazing Waleah moment. Have a great day/night❤️
