Hostile Nature

Chapter 20: Sleazy

Kai's POV:

I jolt up from my sleep with wide eyes, bright with tears. I breathe rappidly and uneven as my hands shake. I tightly pinch my eyes closed before opening them to take in whats around me. I look beside me to see Kian, still fast asleep. Comfort washes over me as I notice his arms still tightly wrapped around my waist.

I slowly lay back down hesitantly closing my eyes, scared that if I fall asleep again I'll have the dream for the third time tonight. And that's definitely something I refuse to go through again. I hate that they came back. They went. They were gone. And now they are back.

I lightly turn towards him and brush his hair back. I can't believe I haven't woken him up yet. I let out a long breath before laying my head on his bare chest, listening to his heart beat. My eyes soon begin to droop from the soothing sound and before I can stop myself, I'm out.

Kian's POV:

Something shaking the bed causes my eyes to snap open. The only thing that I can see in the nearly pitch black room is Kai's back facing me. Her body is curled up in a ball as it violently shakes and Struggled sobs are heard from her.

My heart immediately fucking drops.

Without wasting another minute I wrap my arms around her but before i can bring her closer, her body lurches forward making her sit straight up. I automatically do the same.

Her eyes are lined with tears as they frantically look around the room. When they land on me, they double down in size and her body stops its jolts and shaking.

"K..Kian. I'm sorry I tried not to wake you." Her voice is barely audible and it sounds as if someone is throwing a glass plate on the floor with each word.

I furrow my eyebrows but rub her back , trying to sooth her. "This isn't the first time tonight?"

My baby girl looks so scared. So sad. Fucking nightmares.

She drops her head in her hands after replying. "No."

"How many times did you wake up like this? Why didn't you wake me up? Why.." She cuts me off.

"I don't want to talk about it. Lets go back to sleep" her voice has changed from shattering glass to a brick fucking wall.

She leans to lay down but I stop her. " we dont have to talk about it. Just answer my questions." My voice is harsh but I actually feel my heart breaking at the sight of her.

She sighs. "This time makes three. And I didn't want to bother you like I always do." She shrugs.

I let out an angry breath. "You are not a bother to me. I don't know how many times I have to tell you, Wake me up when this happens. You staying scared is why your having them so often ."

Her eyes drop from mine when I finish talking but she nods . "Do you need anything? Water maybe?"

She shakes her head . I sigh and make my way down the stairs and into the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water.

When i get back to my room , she is in the same position. Sitting criss cross with her head down . "here" I hand her the water.

"I said I didn't want it." Attitude drowns her tone.

"Kai. So help me God if you dont take this fucking water...." I gritt between my teeth.

She reluctantly takes it and slowly sips it before sitting it on the table next to her. And lays back down, turning so her back is facing me.

She is so fucking stubborn. The only reason she is acting like this is because she's pissed I'm the only one who can make her listen .

I lay back down, throwing away all my irritation. "Come here" I coo. She doesn't move. "Now." I warn.
