(Zayn's POV)

I hold Tay closely to me as she sleeps in the bed in Kaylin's guest room. I am laying next to her and I just can't sleep. I'm so happy she's here and in my arms but, I'm scared that Bryce will take her from me again.

I just can't bare the thought of her being gone again. It will kill me, I need her by my side. She's my every thing and I love her so much.

I snuggle into her and she rolls over so her head is resting on my chest and her arm is resting under her flawless face also on my chest.

Soft snores escape her lips and I smile. I honestly don't know how someone is so perfect. I brush my fingers through her hair gently. I just lay here and make sure she won't have any nightmares.

So far so good, till about an hour later when she sits up in her sleep. I sit up next to her and he eyes are still closed. She's still asleep...I frown and she holds her hand out in front of her and tears spill out of her eyes.

I hold her to me closely and she starts to breath heavily. "Tay?" She shakes her head and shouts "NO PLEASE!.....STOP, JUST STOP!!" She moves around and then whimpers.

I shake her lightly. "Baby wake up!" She just lays there still. "Taylor!" She opens her eyes and looks around the room. She starts to heavily breath and says "not again!, no no no!"

I hold her face in my hands and says "baby Shh...you're safe here okay?.....you're safe with me." She looks up at me and nods slowly and tears spill down her flushed cheeks again.

She sits up and I wrap my arms around her. She cries lightly in my chest and I frown and gently run my hands in her soft red hair. "Baby are you okay?" She nods slowly and says "yeah....umm, c-can you sing to me?"

I smile lightly and nod "of course....what do you want to hear love?" I lay back and pull her into my arms. Her head on my chest with her hand playing with my right one, as my left still softly strokes her hair.

She softly murmurs, "I want to hear forgive me." I nod and start to sing to her.

Your barely even broken...
Than whole with an empty heart...
We were better left unspoken....

Then a million miles apart...
It's torture here in this space between...
As you are lovin and leavin me..

You say there's nothing left to fight for...
Cause this feels like too much....
Your heart is so afraid to want more...

Of the pain you'll have to touch...
You'll only win, if you don't give up..
Cause love is war, and war is love..

Tryin to give up on perfect..
and you're better off one, oh oh...
Trying to believe you were there, oh..

When every piece of you wants to run..
So now that you're caught in this space in between..
And you're the only enemy..

You say there's nothing left to fight for...
Cause this feels like too much....
Your heart is so afraid to want more...

Of the pain you'll have to touch...
You'll only win, if you don't give up..
Cause love is war, and war is love..

You say there's nothing left to fight for..
Cause you say it feels like to much..
Your heart is afraid to want more..

Of the pain you'll have to touch..
You'll only win, if you don't give up..
Everything won't be enough..
