A/N: Some of Emmie's POV later in this chapter for those of you who requested it! By the way, there like a little bit of....ahem....mature content in this chapter but it's not that bad at all 'cause I can only go so far lol.
"What are you doing?" Steven chuckled as I used my bare foot to toss dirt on his leg.
"Putting dirt on your leg," I replied. After the we came back from the boat ride, we decided to lay in the grass by the water. I looked up at the sky and noticed a group of stars that looks like a heart. "Look," I said and pointed to the sky. "It's in the shape of a heart."
"Oh yeah," Steven said after looking for a moment. "It's like it was meant for us."
"You're so cheesy, Steven." We both laughed for a moment before I spoke again "It's late, we should go inside."
"Yeah," Steven said and stood up, holding out a hand to help me.
"But I'm too lazy to get up." He gave me a fake annoyed look. "Can you please carry meeee?" I asked, extending the 'e'.
Steven bent down and lifted me up into his arms bridal style. "But only 'cause I love you." I gave him and grin as he headed for the lake house.
Once he stepped inside, the cold air surrounded us, making me shiver.
It didn't take long for me to change into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. "Nice shirt," Steven said with a smirk and I gave him a confused look before looking down at the shirt I was wearing. I had grabbed his shirt by mistake and had put it on, thinking that it was mine.
"Oh, sorry," I laughed and grabbed the hem to take it off.
"I like it, it's hot," he said and came over, wrapping his arms around my waist, my arms snaking around his neck. "Too bad it's gonna have to come off."
A smirk tugged at my lips. "Someone's confident."
"Mhmm," he replied and pressed his lips against mine, pulling me as close as possible. The kiss turned more passionate by the second and our shirts quickly ended up on the floor of the bedroom.
My fingers gripped onto Steven's hair as his lips ran down my jawline and neck, gently sucking on the skin. A small moan escaped my lips as he left marks all over my neck and shoulders before gently pushing me onto the bed.
After a minute, I took control and flipped us over, pulling down his shorts. Steven flipped us back over and did the same to me, keeping his lips attached to mine the whole time. Within a minute, we both had no clothes on and Steven had himself positioned over me.
"Wait!" I said quickly. "What about Alanna's gift?" We both grinned and I reached into the nightstand where the condoms were and pulled one out. "Now where were we?"
*Emmie's POV*
"NO!" I screamed, shooting up in bed, sweat covering my forehand. Tears poured out of my eyes as sobs escaped my shaking lips.
(A/N: And to the dirty-minded people who think Emmie was dreaming about Lauren and Steven having sex, that was not what she was dreaming about lol.)
I had the nightmare again. The nightmare that I had been having every night since the police found me. A nightmare about them.
Normally, I would contain my screams and cries when I woke up in the middle of the night, but it had been worse than normal. I couldn't get their faces out of my mind, out of my nightmares. They were engraved in my mind. Their raspy voices repeated through my head like a broken record, making me shiver at the thought.
"Emmie!" Emily burst through the door and ran into my room, frantically looking me over. "What happened?!" She sat down on my bed next to me as I tried to hold in my sobs.
"I....I....."
"It's okay, you can tell me." I couldn't hold in my cries any longer. Emily wrapped me in her arms, not pushing me to tell her and just letting me cry. "It's alright, Em. It was just a nightmare, it wasn't real."
I looked up at her with my tear streaked face. "No....it was real."
"C'mere." I laid back in Emily's arms as she started to softly sing.
"It's unclear now, what we intend
We're alone in our own world
You don't wanna be my boyfriend
And I don't wanna be your girl
And that, that's a relief
We'll drink up our grief
And pine for summer
And we'll buy beer to shotgun
And we'll lay in the lawn
And we'll be good."
