Starting Over : Luke Hemmings fanfiction

Chapter 43

Luke P.O.V

"NO !" I heard someone scream.

I jotted up from my bed as Molly lifted her head up, am I hearing things...

"NO ! LET GO OF ME !" It was Bella she was screaming

I threw the covers off my body not carrying that I was shirtless, ran to the door and burst it open and opened up Bella's door instantaneously. I saw her grabbing the white covers as of in pain as she fisted it, I say tears streaming down her face and she screamed again.

"NO ! NO NO LEAVE HIM ALONE."

She having a nightmare.I couldn't bear to watch this anymore. I sat by the side of the bed where her body was laying and gently placed my arms on her shoulders shaking her repeatedly. It wasn't working.

"Bella," I said her name, she didn't move just continued to thrash around in pain.

"Bella !" I yelled again and as soon as I yelled it her eyes shot open. You could see her eyes dilated as fear over took her eyes and tears streaming down her pale cheeks. Bella sat up quickly, as I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and pulled her into a tight hug. I'm not a big hugger, but there was something in me that needed to hold her close.

I could feel her heartbeat beating a million times a second. I could feel the tears streaming down my chest as her face was in my chest. When her arms wrapped around my waist pulling me in closer to her.

"Bella are you okay?" I asked my voice just above a whisper.

"No-" She said still crying.

Instead of replying I sat up and moved so I could place her in my lap. Her legs were across the rest of the bed, as I sat by the headboard her back was on my arm as it draped around her waist and her head in my chest crying. I ran my other hand threw her soft hair.

"It's okay your safe now." I whispered to her over and over and over again, she just placed her hands around waist loosely. Holding on like she was afraid I would disappear.

After staying like that for a while I asked her, "Do you want to talk about it ?"

"No-" She said her voice so raspy after crying.

"Are you tired ?" I asked.

"Yes I'm always tired," As soon as the words left her mouth I felt so heart broken for her. What does she mean she's always tired ? Do these nightmares happen often to her ?

"Does this happen every night ?"

She just nodded. There has to be something dramatic that must have happen to her. Bella's childhood what she must had to go through is just mind blowing does Ashton have these nightmares too ? Is it even from her childhood ? But I couldn't bring it to myself to ask her tonight. I can just tell she doesn't want to talk about it and I would never force her to tell me anything she didn't feel like telling me.

I shifted to lay her down. As I stood up to cover her skinny little legs she raised her arm to stopped me.

"Please don't go..." She whispered again, her eyes still filled with fear.

"What ?" I asked her perplexed. Why would she want me to stay ?

"Please don't leave me-"

"You think I'll leave you ?" I asked her quietly.

If Bella doesn't want me to go then I don't plan on it. I want her to know that I'm here for her that nothing she says or does is going to change how I think of her, even if she did want me to leave I still wouldn't have I would have stayed up all night just to make sure she was okay.
