"No, no, no please! " a cold sweat spreads on my forehead " Gray please... 𝐍𝐎! "
My eyes shoot open, beads of sweat roll down my face. It's been years since I had such a dream, everything seemed so real, the taste of my own blood, the pain , the screams and his face. I can feel my heart race and hands trembling 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 ℎ𝑎𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑚𝑒. I push the thoughts back and get ready for my day.

It's six a.m now and here I am watching a blank television like a crazy person, 𝐼 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐼 𝑤𝑜𝑘𝑒 𝑢𝑝 *𝑠𝑖𝑔ℎ*. I guess I can't get over the dream I had, and it doesn't help how I keep remembering the past. A light tap on my shoulder puts me out of my trance.
" miss... I mean Mrs Ackerman, are you ok? Your phone has been ringing for over ten minutes now. " it's Olivia's husband Luke, he's such a sweet old man. 'I'm just fine, no worries ' I say, something must have been up with my tone because he looked at me like how I look at stray cats 𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑦.
Eventually he leaves and a few minutes later 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭 arrives *sigh*, I ignore his presence and pretend to use my phone, in the process I notice that Leo left so many missed calls. I immediately call him up knowing fully how he can be "Hey" that was the only word I got in before being bombarded with questions.
"Where are you?... Are you safe, do you need help, pin your location I'm coming over right now! " he spoke so fast I almost barely heard what he said. "Babe, I'm ok, calm down" I say chuckling, we talked for hours and I found that I had forgotten all about my dream. Leo is my oldest friend, we have know each other since we were 14 and everytime something is weighing me down I know I can trust him to be there for me. We made plans to go out this weekend and I would really love to have a familiar face around me.

It's dinner time and guess what, it's just me and the devil this time around. Turns out Olivia and Luke took 2 months off to go visit their daughter in South Korea. 𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑡𝑜𝑙𝑑 𝑚𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑.
As we sit there eating I can't help but feel so awkward...like the silence is so loud. I glance at Nicolai a few times and he seems pretty chilled...or so I thought "Luke told me your not doing well..." His voice echoed through the silent house and I, well I don't know what to say... "Umm I actually am, I think he just caught me after watching attack on Titan " I try laugh it off but I'm met with a stone expression
My laughter dies down and I swear I inhaled my food so fast just so I could get out of that situation... ... 𝐼 𝑔𝑜𝑡 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑡'𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑛𝑖𝑐𝑒. I went to bed immediately afterwards.

It's day two of being alone with Nicolai in the house and its going pretty well except for breakfast and dinner, I make it my mission to avoid him.
It's around noon and I'm on my phone with Leo, I updated him on everything that happened since I couldn't before, "girl that's crazy... But you know if I was him I would love you as you are " I laugh it off as another one of his jokes. As usual we talk for around two, three hours before hanging up.
Since I was done with the call, I got the ingredients ready so I could cook... I'm just kidding I actually took my phone and ordered take out, I'm too tired to cook. Twenty minutes later the door bell rings and I go to open it expecting Chinese food but instead I get two men carrying Nicolai.
"Are you his wife? " they ask 'ummm yeh.. What happened? ' I move out of the way to let them in and they explain what happened as they take him to his room. "So he basically drank a shit ton of alcohol fought but he won then he broke his leg... Is that right? " they nod *sigh* "ok thank you... You can go now I'll take it from here. " they both leave and I'm left in the room with the drunk injured idiot.
𝐼 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛 𝑢𝑝 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 I say as I take his shoes and socks off, and proceed to take his tuxedo off too. "Ni-ki" I freeze and look at him 𝑁𝑖-𝑘𝑖?? 𝑊ℎ𝑜'𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 he keeps calling for her like a abandoned child crying for their mother. I let him rest and went to my own room to sleep
or I thought I would, instead I spent the whole night making sure he's ok because he fell from the bed and was burning up 𝐼'𝑚 𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑙𝑦 𝑤𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙 I don't know when I fell asleep but I woke up immediately when I heard a loud thud next to the bed. I looked around and saw that Nicolai was on the ground flat on his face "you can't sleep there" he grumbled something before getting up ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑦 𝑐𝑢𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡
"I'm making breakfast want anything? " the bathroom door slams shut... I'll take that as a no. I wounded how long it takes legs to heal cause I can't stand that sassy man, I'm eating breakfast when I get a text
