~ELEANOR’S POV~

My heart still raced, the dream was so real. Still shaken, I got out of bed and went to get a glass of water, to cool down. I tip-toed down the long hallway, not to wake anyone. The condo was dimly lit by the moon, the vents and pipes creaked. I switched on the main light and suddenly the sound of clashing glass interrupted the silent. The dream came back to my mind; I crouched on the ground, whimpering, almost in a trance. I felt like I was in the dream again, under the table. My wrist burned again.

“Eleanor! What’s wrong? Why are you up?” Someone said, coming to my level, wrapping their arms around me. It was Ryan, I knew from his scent, his voice…

He was shirtless, his perfectly sculpted body right in front of me.

“The glass,” I whispered.

“The- oh, I was getting a glass of water and you scared me babe. It’s fine, I’ll clean it up, no big deal!”

I couldn’t think straight. I saw Ryan’s face filled with concern, then Nathan’s with anger. I was over-tired, panicked. I was shaking, tears flowing.

“Eleanor, what happened, you’re scaring me,” Ryan mumbled. He pulled me closer into his lap, and rocked me back and forth, stroking my hair. He lightly kissed my forehead, flooding me with comfort. My breathing slowed, moments passed.

“Bad dream,” I finally whispered urgently. I curled up into his chest.

“He won’t hurt you El; I’ll never let anyone hurt you. I love you, remember?”

“I don’t know why.”

“Because you’re fun and smart. You’re ambitious and strong. I get lost in your eyes every time I see you; your laugh gives me butterflies. You make me happy, whenever you smile. I can’t fully explain it, but I feel like it’s so true, like I could never live without you. I need you and I want to help you, and love you.”

I smiled, “I love you so much Ryan, I don’t deserve you.”

“You deserve the world,” he whispered down my neck.

He lifted my head up and softly kissed me, I could feel his smile on my lips.

“What are you guys doing?” Ian said, staring at us a few feet away down the hall.

I suddenly noticed how abnormal we must have looked, just sitting in the middle of the room on the cold wood floor.

“What are YOU doing?” Ryan smirked. I giggled looking at Ian’s puzzled face.

“I heard a glass shatter and I finally got enough courage to see what it was,” he said a-matter-of-factly.

Ryan let out a chuckle, “Go back to bed man!”

Ian shook his head and went back to his room, leaving us alone again.

Ryan picked me up, scaring the crap out of me.

“What are you doing?!”

“Going to bed,” he laughed. He cradled me all the way to his room where he laid me on the bed and snuggled close, where we both drifted into a perfect slumber.
