Ronnie's POV

I woke up before Alexandra, she is still sleeping peacefully curled up in the sheets so I leave her be, and go into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for rehearsals. As I get out of the shower and I'm getting ready, I hear a blood curdling scream come from the room so I quickly button my pants and run into the room, Alexandra almost looks as if she is convulsing and my heart drops.

" Alexa! Alexandra come on darling wake up!" I say loudly trying to wake her up and lifting her up but it's as if she's stuck in the dream state she's in cause anyone would wake up to the tone I had in my voice.

She turns on me and begins beating into my chest screaming and fighting me, clawing at my skin and even slapped me across the face a time or to as I'm just trying to calm her, restrain her from hurting herself.

" Alexandra!!" I yell loudly and she finally comes to, her eyes springing open and nearly jumping from the bed but I catch her

" I-i, Ronnie. I'm s-sorry, it was just a bad dream...I'm-I'm so sorry.." she pleads over and over and I just grab her and wrap her up in a hug

Something is going on with her, and I have to figure it out. I noticed it yesterday when it seemed like the light in her eyes was slowly disappearing, and that's something I never want.

" it's okay darling, I'm fine, nothing a little water and towel can't clean up, are you okay though?" I ask her as she pulls away wiping her slightly red and puffy face

" mhm. Just fine, it was just a bad dream is all I'm okay Ronnie I promise..." she says to me going into the bathroom

I feel like we just back tracked to when I first met her, her walls up high and her soul shutting down. I will figure out what's going on, I just can't rush her on it... I don't want to end up being an asshole like last time so I'll just give her some space on that subject. It hurts me knowing and feeling something is wrong but yet she just won't let me in to help or try to fix it...

Alexandra's POV

I hurry into the bathroom after the events just unfolded, locking the door behind me and leaning against the sink placing my hands over my face and crying as quietly as I can. I know Ronnie wants to help but how is he going to help protect me from a psycho ex that I'm sure is currently hunting me down like an animal, waiting to see my blood spill.

My heart is torn, I can't believe I tore into him like that. I haven't had those bad dreams in forever, and now I feel like I'm back sliding from where I was literally a fucking day ago, happy, healing.... Feeling like I could fall into Ronnie's arms and stay there, but I can now feel as if im shutting down again and I don't want that.

I shake it off and pull myself together applying a face of make up and curling my hair. I step out of the bathroom and see Ronnie sitting on the couch shirtless working on his laptop.

" all better darling?" He asks me looking up from his computer then standing making his way to me

" Ronnie I'm fine I promise..." I say turning my phone back on and seeing what time it is.

That's when multiple messages buzz through on my phone. My eyes getting watery as I read them. Shit turning my phone off didn't work like I thought it was going to.

" what's up babygirl, talk to me what's going on, those messages sound urgent." Ronnie says as he places both his hands  on my waist

Text 1;
- Tik tok strikes the clock at midnight, see you soon till you'll forever burn bright-

Text 2;
- you can't run from me, if only you knew the burning agony, placed inside me, to find your little body, strung up tightly-

Text 3;
- alexaaaaaa, you can't hide from me princess, until your last breath you shall fear the process-

They're all poetry. Creepy fucking poetry, about how he's going to kill me but there's more than that. Tik tok strikes the clock midnight. He will be somewhere at midnight. The second text I decipher as he is going to hang me up high and bring me the same supposed agony he's feeling, I can hear Ronnie's deep voice calling out to me as I'm in a daze re reading the texts. The last and final text I decipher as I will live in fear until he finds me.

" Alexa, darling? Answer me." Ronnie says and I shake my head finally coming out of my head

" sorry.. sorry... it was nothing, just some tweets is all." I lie looking down and grabbing my clothes for the day Ronnie sighs folding his arms and leaning against the wall

" I thought we were working on this whole letting eachother in thing.." he says as I change into my ripped black skinny jeans

" yeah yeah we are but there's nothing to worry about okay?" Lied again. And I know he can see it too because he's not giving up

" you're lying darling, come on it can't be that bad, was it the dream?" He asks and I sigh shaking my head giggling a little as I throw on a sheer sparkly black tight long sleeve over my cropped back tank top.

" no it wasn't just please Ronnie for me leave it alone for now okay? I'll tell you when I'm ready." I say to him throwing on my heeled boots since my feet finally recovered from before.

" yeah and if I leave it alone you'll forget about it and it'll never come up again you'll just bury it right?" He says walking over to me getting closer the muscles in his body becoming tense

" give me a fucking break Ronnie please! I'm fucking begging you just give me a break!" I yell throwing my hands up and I go to walk away but he grabs my wrist pulling me back into his chest

" now you listen to me and you listen closely darling, I'm not going to give up, and I'm not scared away so easily, but I will not have you shutting down and pushing me out after we done got this far. Now tell me what the hell is going on. Please." He said brushing a curl from my face as I looked up at him finally looking over his face and realized I can't block him out... he will be better at protecting me than I will myself.

" here." Is all I can say unlocking my phone and handing it to him

He furrows his brows but then looks at the messages including the one from yesterday that Milo had sent.

" hmph, he can try all he wants to but if it's another beat down he wants then he can come and get it. You're safe with me darling I promise. There's security at all the shows and even the band has your back. You'll be fine okay? Don't worry, now come on let's get to rehearsals before we get cussed the hell out." Ronnie says chuckling and giving me a kiss reassuring me

My chest doesn't feel so tight anymore and I still have some anxiety but it's not as bothersome as before. Ronnie's a big guy remind you, and I've seen this man whoop Milo's ass savagely one time, so I without a doubt definitely trust this man with my life. But now here comes the kicker, we just have to patiently wait for the motherfucker to show his face.
