TW: Death, blood, guns and idk but this made me emotional so just a warning


I was sleeping and I hear glass break. I jump up to wake Travis up but he won't wake up. I start to panic and shake him but I can't yell because they will hear me. He still will not wake up but I hear footsteps running up the stairs. I run into the closet in the bathroom and hide behind some clothes.

"Taylor we know your here, come out" I hear a man say and a light switch is flicked

What am I supposed to do Travis is out there and won't wake up.

"Oh found her little boyfriend soundly sleeping" someone yells and footsteps follow. Someone reloads there gun and I hear a gunshot.

That's it Travis is dead. And it is my fault.

I begin to shake uncontrollably and hyperventilate. I can't make a sound or else they will kill me too.

"We know you are here" another man yells as I hear stuff getting smashed and glass breaking. They are trying to kill me.

"You little bitch come out here" the same man yells and the closet light flickers on

"I found her!" A guy says as he pulls my hair and drags me out of the closet into the bedroom.

And there I see Travis lying on the bed with blood gushing everywhere. I break down. I am crying so hard I can't see anything. I shake so hard and scream my lungs out. Everything is blurry. There is no way this is actually happening.

Travis' POV

I wake up to Taylor screaming. I don't ask any questions I just bring her into my arms and rock her back in forth on my lap.

"They were there! Travis is it actually you?" She yells and breaks down crying. That's when I realize, it was a dream.

"Baby I'm here I'm okay, you're okay, everyone else is okay, I've got you, I'm never letting go, it was just a dream." I tell her and kiss her head while I rub her back and hair, still rocking her as she curls up into a ball in my lap. I'm never letting go. This hurts me so much seeing her like this.

"But Trav they were there and they shot you! You were bleeding everywhere! You were dead! And they dragged me out not caring about anything!" She yells trembling. Nothing but chocked sobs.

"It was all a dream don't worry I'm right here I'm not letting go. I'm good, I'm okay, I'm alive." I say trying to calm her down. I am still rubbing her back and holding her very tightly just swaying back and forth.

About an hour goes by and she has calmed down a little bit but she is still crying in my arms.

"Taylor baby, I love you so so so much." I make sure to keep telling her.

"I will keep you safe, no one will ever hurt you. I will hold you for as long as you want me to. I love you so much baby girl." I kiss her head and she calms down a little bit

"I love you Trav" I hear her whisper as she stops crying

I lay down and pull her under the covers with me, still holding her very tightly and holding her head with one hand. Her breathing slows down and becomes heavier, that's how I know she is asleep.

I wake up with Taylor still in my arms. I glance over to look at the clock and it says 11;46am. I run my hand through her hair to try and wake her up gently without scaring her

"Hey baby, time to wake up" I say real softly as she opens her eyes and looks at me

"Hi" she says and wraps her arms around me tightly while smiles a little bit

It seems she is feeling better so I'm going to try and understand more of what happened

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it yet but when you are I would like to hear so I can have a better understanding of what is happening" I say while still talking gently

I sit up and set her in my lap holding her waist as she turns to me and looks up at me

"I think I am ready to talk about it, just please hold me" she asks me and looks me in the eyes

"Of course baby girl whatever you want" I tell her trying to make her feel as comfortable as possible

"I want to get this out as fast as I can so can you just wait to say anything until I am done?" She asks real softly to where I can barely hear her

"Anything"

"So it started when I woke up to the sound of glass breaking. I turned over to see that you were still asleep so I tried to wake you up. I kept shaking you but you wouldn't budge. I could not make a sound or else they would have heard me. You weren't waking up but I heard footsteps come up the stairs so I had to run to the closet and I left you there." She says as her voice starts to break and she tears up.

I hate that she feels like this. All I want to do is make her feel safe and do anything I can for her. I want to let her finish so I don't interrupt, I just rub her back in circles and wipe the tears off of her face.

"And then I heard them say they found you and then" she pauses for a second seeing that it is hard for her to get out "They uh- they shot you, and I couldn't do anything. It was all my fault. I started to shake and cry so hard that everything was blurry and echoing. Then I saw the light turn on. They found me. He pulled me by my hair and dragged me out of the closet back to the room where I saw you. There was blood everywhere and you were de- dead. That's where the dream stopped and I woke up screaming" I'm sorry I didn't save you. I'm sorry I didn't do anything to stop them. I'm sor-" I stop her because this is all in her head.

"Baby do not be sorry for anything. It was just a dream. And even if it was real, which it's not. You right to save yourself before me. You tried. It was just a dream so don't worry. Nothing like that will ever happen. You are safe with me. I promise." I finish saying and squeeze her so tightly. I kiss her head and she begins to sob into my chest, hanging into my shirt and gripping really tight.

"I love you so much baby girl." I tell her over and over again so she never forgets

A while has gone by and she has stopped crying for the most part. I take my hands and cradle her face and look into her eyes

"Taylor, remember it was all a dream. Nothing will ever happen. I'm here right? I have you no matter what. I love you so much and I would never let anything happen to you. I love you baby girl." I tell her and kiss her head then forehead, cheeks, nose, hair, and lastly a little peck on the lips

"Thank you Trav, I love you so much. You make me feel safe, and I know I am safe with you." She tells me and wraps her arms around my neck and snuggles into my chest

"Do you feel better?" I ask her playing with her hair

"Yes, you made me feel so much better. Thank you" she responds right back with a small smile on her face

"Anything for you baby girl" I say kissing the top of her head

"Can we just lay in bed all day and snuggle?" She asks me and of course I can't say no to that

"Anything you want baby" I tell her as I bring her down further so we can lay down

I pick up the remote and put on Love Is Blind, which makes Taylor laugh. That is the best sound in the world.

"I love you Tay" I tell her and wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her gently

"I love you so much Trav"
