Private Stanley Mellish

1946

Stanley's P.O.V

I shot up in bed , gasping for breath and covered in sweat.It took me a moment to realise where I was for a moment.my breath was shaky and the sweat has soaked through onto the sheets of our bed.I looked over to y/n who was still asleep. I took a deep breath and let it out to try and steady myself.another nightmare. I just wanted a good nights sleep , where I didn't have to wake up sweating and at loss for breath.Its been like this for months, almost like part of a routine at this point.I quietly got up and grabbed my cigarettes and lighter and left the bedroom.I went out to the back door and opened it.There was a cool breeze that went right through me.I got out a cigarette , and lit it as I took a drawl.As I exhaled , I thought about Y/n.Out of all the things I could think about , it was Y/n. She was the light at the end of the tunnel for me. She cares about me even when I think I don't deserve it. She loves me.And I love her , so much.I took another drawl as I looked up at the sky.A few stars where noticeable tonight from where I was standing.It looked peaceful and calm. Something I only felt with y/n.I exhaled into the cold evening breeze.

I hated bothering y/n during the night , I feel bad for waking up in the middle of the night just because I had a nightmare.I usually let her sleep , which she isn't happy about because she wants to help and support me.I know she wants to do everything she can do , but sometimes I know she is tired. Not tired of me but just needing to rest.So I let her sleep on whenever I woke during the night.As I took another drawl , I heard footsteps behind me , I turned around."Y/n" I whispered.She continued to quietly walk until she stood next to me."It's late , you should have woken me up" She muttered , looking up at me as I took another drawl."You looked tired so I let you sleep on" I added.She took the cigarette out my hand and took a puff and looked out towards the sky.I took another cigarette out and lit it."You know how I feel about you not waking me up when you are struggling" She stated.I took a drawl.

"I know I just ..... I just don't want to burden you with this shit y/n" I replied as I exhaled the smoke.The was a moment of silence before anything was said or done.She took another drawl , the dim light making her look so beautiful, even in the middle of the night.She chucked the finished cigarette butt to the ground.I then felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist tightly.she then kissed my cheek."You'd never burden me , I love you and that's never going to change okay ?"She whispered to me as she kissed my cheek again.im lucky then huh. A smile then spread across my face as I put out my cigarette."I love you so much"I said as I kissed her gently on the lips to which she returned almost instantly.my hands went to her waist as I pulled her closer."Come on now inside , it's going to get colder out here" she smiled as she broke the kiss. I nodded as I didn't break eye contact."She sat on the couch and pulled me into her arms.she took my hand and rubbed along it with her thumb."Now please tell me what's wrong" She asked me.I took a breath before I started to talk about what was bothering me.She listened to what I had to say and reassured me.I felt safe in her arms , she was there for me even in my lowest time.I got lucky with having her by my side.
