10 minutes later...

I smirk as I walk out of the shower. I purposely didn't wear sweatpants over my boxers to see her reaction and it's what I expected. She wanted to look at me but at the same time didn't. I'm curious of what she was thinking because I sure thought she looked breathtaking in her short shorts. I dried my hair with the towel then head to sit down by her on the couch. I was wearing sweats, so she doesn't freak out again. "So, what are we watching?"

"Oh, I put one of my favorite movies, you ok with that?"

"Works for me." I slowly move closer to her on the couch, she doesn't move away and lays her head on my chest.

"Zayn what does it feel like to have a mom?" Stunned by the question and unsure what to answer I muster a response.

"Well I suppose it's like having someone there to take care of you, telling you what is wrong or right. Helping you when you need it, they are like your number one fan. I don't know if I explained it right but it's just that I can't really describe it, I'm sorry."

She looks at me satisfied with my answer. "I just kind of missed the feeling you know, and thank you for trying to explain, that is very sweet of you," she gives me a light kiss on the cheek and turns back to the TV, laying her head back on my chest.

"Is that all? I get a kiss on the cheek?"

"Don't push your luck Zayn."

"Ok," I tell her with a small laugh afterward.

"Zayn I can't fall asleep." She whispers after half the movie has passed.

"You want me to sing you sing you a lullaby?"

"Yes please."

"Ok"

"Yay!! I'm so glad I have you as a friend."

"No, you're just lucky I like you."

"Yes, I am lucky, now sing, please."

"Ok...." Not too long after I start singing, she falls asleep. I decide to turn off the tele pick her up and carry her to her bed. I slowly lay her down, pull the blanket over her and return the kiss on the cheek. Then make my way to the bedroom I'm staying in.

3:00a.m.

I hear crying, I get up and listen carefully to where its coming from. Realizing it's coming Litsy's room I walk in, through the dark I manage to see Litsy sitting down crying, "What's wrong Litsy?"

"I'm sorry Zayn, I didn't mean to wake you," she manages to say through her sobs and tries to wipe off her tears.

"It's ok Litsy, I'm here for you, remember? I'm here to protect you, what's wrong?" I say as I sit next to her on the bed pulling her close to me.

"I had a nightmare where TJ actually finished what he started on Sunday and when you walked in, he stabbed you." She sniffles slightly as she clings to me.

"I'm here now you. See I'm fine, there is no TJ. Now go back to sleep." As I start to get up to leave, she says, "Stay with me." I only respond with, "Always."

"Thank you, Zayn, I don't want to go to school."

"But you have to. You only need a couple more months, you're so close to graduating."

"That's true but I don't know how I'll survive without you."

"You won't have to know. You're always going to have me by your side."

"But not near me."

"Litsy I will always be with you; now go to sleep I'll be right back." Shifting off the bed slightly so I can move to my room.

"Wait, where are you going?" She looks at me as I move to stand.

"To put some sweats on." I smirk.

"Wait, you don't have sweats on Zayn?" she gasps slightly.

"No, I don't, I sleep in my boxers. What do you expect? I was in a hurry to come to you." I chuckle.

"Fine, hurry please." She motions to the door.

"I thought we were supposed to sleep in different rooms?" I still had my smirk on my face.

"Yeah we are supposed to, but I don't want to have a nightmare again." She says in an amused voice with a small grin on her face.

"Excuses, excuses." I wink at her before walking out and laughing at her comment. I change quickly because I don't want to miss my chance of sleeping with her. Then I go into the room and find her waiting for me. As soon as she sees me, she lays down, and I lay beside her. Hugging to me until we fall asleep.

Friday morning....

I wake up, reaching out beside me only to find Litzy missing. I search around the house and don't find her.

I find the front door slightly open. Stepping outside I find her keys laying on the ground and one of her shoes. This is unlike her; she always says good-bye and wouldn't forget her keys or shoe. Last night she told me that we were going grocery shopping as she has no classes today.

We've both been trying to maintain our distance from each other, but she always invites me to sleep with her. We've only been there to comfort each other so nothing has really happened. Still, this mess in her front yard makes me anxious. I can't help but worry, where is she?
