~•> Daniels POV <•~

After last night I can't help but touch her, feel the curves of her body that I missed out on for so many years, and smile at how my hand fits perfectly between her shoulder blades.

I've loved her all my life, ever since we were kids, we used to play on the sand dunes and talk about how we'd get married and live in a castle, until that all changed. As I got older I started to become more arrogant, going out with prettier girls, to make myself look, you know, 'cool'. Hazel started to hate me, everyday I would see the anger in her eyes when she spoke to me and I watched as she winced when I made an arrogant joke in class or when I started talking about 'my girls', and it hurt inside but I thought it was the right thing to do, and I was so wrong.

Suddenly, Hazel turns over in her sleep and sighs in my face, I stare at the way her eye lashes curl and move a stray hair from her face, i loved her old self, the Hazel hair and the silver eyes that seemed to turn golden in the sunlight; I can see that in her new self, her emerald eyes, as green as a field in the summer, and her hair as red as flames that engulfs her face, when I see her, her old image always comes to mind.

She bolts upright and screams, her eyes wide, blood shot, tears streaming down her face.

"It's ok, it's ok,  just a dream, I'm here." I say and hug Hazel to my chest "I'm here." He tears soak into my top making it cling to me, I don't mind though it just makes my embrace tighter, the instinct to keep her safe stronger.
She soon goes back to sleep and i join her.
