Chapter ten - help x

Beth's PoV
I woke up to the sound of tiny footsteps followed by a zip so I woke up to find Sam opening her carry on bag, which I guessed was her equivalent to Vivs bag. If that was the case I needed to check she was ok, so I got up and sat on the floor with her, which made her jump at first before asking what she was doing, I had seen her pull out an ice pack and her weighted jumper and wondered what was up, she struggled to speak so she wrote down 'I had a nightmare and I'm scared' on a piece of scrap paper so I grabbed her and her stuff and bring her onto my double bed, doing what I would do with viv and cuddled her while placing the ice pack where she needs it. I checked the time in New York (where viv was for friendlies) and saw it was 9pm there, and three am where we were so decided to ring her.

Sammys PoV
I had woken up from a nightmare about my mum and dad and I couldn't breathe right, so I went to get my bag to try and calm down. As I unzipped my bag, Beth got up and sat with me. I put my weighted hoodie on and grabbed my ice pack. We sat there before she asked if I wanted to call viv and I nodded, so she rung viv.

Vivs PoV
I was just about to get ready for bed after a quite chill training day as I got a phone call from Beth, this was odd considering it must be late at night for her so I decide to answer. When I pick up the phone I see Sam but it's very dark.
'Hey Sam, what's up?'
She shook her head
Beth popped in and said she had a nightmare that led to a panic attack so I started asking her simple questions about her day and Spain, I then asked if she could talk about what happened and she nodded.
'Ok bubs take your time'
'He.. he hurt me' and she started bawling her eyes out 'I didn't stop him, I should've stopped him but I didn't, so he hurt my mum'
'Ok darling, remember what I said about flashbacks and how we can't change what happened but we are safe now?'
'Mhm'
'That's the same for these nightmares ok, we just have to remember that it's not our fault. You didn't hurt your mum and if you don't mind me saying, you wouldn't be able to stop him because he is an awful man'
'Yeah, he really is'
'Ok so have some Beth cuddles and I'll speak to you tomorrow?'
'Ok night night vivi'
'Night Sammy and night Bethy'
'Night love, thank you'

Sam's PoV
After ringing viv I had calmed down and realised it wasn't my fault that my dad was horrible to me. Beth asked if I wanted to sleep in her bed so I could cuddle and I said yes so we went back to sleep.
