When she realized the villain was protecting her, her life changed instantly.

She was curled up against the brown haired boy, sleeping soundly. Mattheo had tears falling from his eyes as he pushed hair away from her face and wiped her drying tears. The only thing that blurred his vision was remembering the way her body shook, really thinking he left again. It made his heart hurt.

His hand was scratching her back gently, the slight stubs of nails he has feeling like a miracle on her skin, making her fall into a deeper sleep. He just wanted her to know he was here and he wasn't leaving this time. His eyes fell shut, tired from the crying. Before he let sleep take him over he brought the girl to his side, tucking her against him and putting an arm over her body.

He pulled the blankets back up and over them, the warmth engulfing him. Brooke, who was still fast asleep, smiled softly, tucking her head deeper into his chest. Eventually he fell asleep as well, keeping a tight grip on his girl.

When he woke up, his girl was moving next to him. He caught a glimpse of her as she rubbed her eyes tiredly, obviously being woken up with him. It was Daphne, a sweet and gentle smile on her face.

"Your guys' food was done a while ago but I didn't wanna wake you up. Would you like be to throw it out or do you guys still wanna eat it?" She said softly, loving the fact she saw them cuddling.

"We will, just give us a minute." Mattheo tried to hide the fact he was mad at being woken up, but Daphne didn't seem to notice. She nodded and bounced up a little, walking out of the room. Mattheo turned over, pulling his girlfriend back to his chest. She dug her face into him, feeling a sense of security wash over her.

"C'mon. You haven't eaten and you need to." He says as he kisses her forehead and gets up, stretching. She rubbed her eyes tiredly and sat up, her knees to her chest. He grabbed a different shirt and slipped it on over his head. When he had the shirt on he held his hand out for her to take.

At first she looked up, hesitant to take it. But eventually, she smiled softly and slid her hand into his. They walked downstairs, going to the kitchen and sitting at the table witch had their sandwiches. Brooke simply stared at hers.

Mattheo didn't and wasn't gonna take a bite of his food until she did. She mattered more to him than himself.

"Come on my love. No one's gonna make fun of you if you eat." He knew that when she was battling with her mental health, she pushed her food away. He figured that out when they were assigned their missions and he noticed she had stopped eating and was only messing with the food on her plate. She sighed gently, tearing a small piece of her food off and staring at it for a second before popping it into her mouth.

A large smile went to the chocolate haired boys face. He was so proud of the girl. They heard the door shut but didn't pay much attention to it because they assumed people were just leaving or entering. Mattheo smiled as she went for another bite without him having to say anything. He let his eyes fall to his plate and started eating.

The world stopped as she felt a wand to the back of her head.
