A/N: When I say club I mean the same place that Hayden worked at and where Brett was attacked

Kaia's P.O.V

I smirked looking over myself in the mirror, I convinced Theo to go with Liam, Mason and I to a club. It was Mason's idea so he told me to get Theo to come, after telling him about how Theo was teasing me I guess you could say, he pointed out that it would be a great place to get payback. I went for the rocker girl kind of look, satisfied with my outfit consisting of a low cut white t-shirt, leather jacket and a leather mini skirt with ankle boots, I started heading downstairs to meet the boys. Liam went wide eyed seeing me, my poor brother, "Kaia, you're not actually going out in that." He whined before I was even in Theo's sight line, Mason smirked nodding approvingly.

"Liam, yes I am." I mocked, I smirked at Theo's face after seeing my appearance. I continued walking out the front door, swaying my hips, "You guys coming!" I called out to them as I stood in the driveway. "Yeah." Theo said finally closing his mouth, he unlocked his car and we all climbed in, Mason giving him directions and we were there in no time. "So Lily didn't want to come?" I asked Liam as we followed Mason to the back of the building. "No, she said she wanted to be prepared for dance rehearsal and school tomorrow." He said, I nodded understandingly, I would've said the same thing but I needed to let loose.

I laughed softly as Mason bribed Hayden to let us in, Liam avoided eye contact with her, she did the same. "Have fun, be careful!" I told the two younger boys before venturing off with Theo, "Okay!" They chorused. I smirked at Theo dragging him to the dance floor, "That's not fair." He said into my ear so I'll hear him over the music, "You're a dancer and I'm not." He stated as he watched me dance to the music, "Come on pretty boy!" I shouted to him over the music, he raised his eyebrows at me. I smiled coming closer to him, I placed my arms loosely around his neck after putting his hands on my waist.

I grinned up at him as he moved to the beat of the music with me, "You got it." I said into his ear, my lips almost touching him. He glared at me after I pulled back, "What?" I asked faking innocence, "Did you think I was going to do this?" I added on leaning up to his neck once again, kissing his neck teasingly like he did to me yesterday. "What's gotten into you?" He asked turning his head to look at me, I laughed raising my eyebrows at him, "I told you payback was going to hurt didn't I?" I asked him, seeing realization flash across his face. He groaned, "You're not done are you?" He asked knowingly, "Nope." I answered placing his hands on my waist again, I turned in his gentle grip and started moving to the music.

I pushed the feeling of claustrophobia away, it's not that packed in here - I thought. Realizing I was lying to myself I turned to Theo who was slightly annoyed with me. I grabbed his arm tightly as I felt the panic in my chest rising. "Theo." I mumbled out, he turned to me after I squeezed his arm again. "Kaia?" He asked grabbing my arms as I became dizzy, "Too many people." I said breathing heavily. He nodded understandingly, gently he pulled me along through the crowd to the most open area. He sat me down on an empty chair, I took some deep breaths, looking around to reassure myself I had enough space where I was now.

"You okay?" He asked gently kneeling beside me, so I had to look down at him. I nodded, "Yeah, I don't want to make them leave but I want to go home now." I said referring to Mason and Liam who were out in the crowd. "They'll understand, baby." He said pressing a soft kiss to my temple, "I'll go find them, stay here." He added on, I nodded once again and watched as he looked around for them, I saw him point to me followed by Liam emerging form the crowd. He smiled sympathetically as he knew I have a bad issue with claustrophobia, "You doing okay?" He asked taking the seat next to me, "Yes, sorry to make you guys leave." I said seeing Mason and Theo walking towards us. "It's okay." He said, standing up as they reached us, I gripped Theo's hand as we walked through the smallest parts of the crowd to get to the exit.

He smiled lovingly at me, gently pulling me closer to him.

"Thank gosh." I groaned dropping myself onto the couch, Mason and Liam went to Liam's room, Mason's parents said he could spend the night and I told Theo he could stay for a while. Theo chuckled sitting down next to me, sighing I laid down with my head on his lap. "Tired?" He asked as I laced my fingers with his, his free hand pushing some hair off of my face. "Yeah." I nodded slowly. He laughed softly, I smiled just happy to be around him. "I hate to kick you out but I think I'm going to try and get some sleep, I always have a hard time sleeping after something like that." I told him standing up, he nodded, "Alright, I love you." He grinned standing up, "I love you too." I smiled leaning up to kiss him quickly.

"Goodnight." I told him as he started walking out the door, "Goodnight, baby girl." He said glancing at me, I smiled before shutting the door and locking it. I knocked on Liam's open bedroom door to get their attention, "I'm going to sleep, keep it down." I said motioning to the video game that they always play, "Okay, goodnight." Liam said, "Goodnight." Mason said too. "Goodnight." I said to the both of them.

Changing into some pajamas quickly, just wanting to climb into bed and sleep away the rest of my anxiety, curling into myself underneath my sheets I closed my eyes letting sleep take over my body.

*"I'm going to use the bathroom." I told Theo planting a kiss on his cheek before he nodded, watching me weave my way through the crowd in the bleachers at the lacrosse game. Taking a deep breath I wandered into the empty school, wanting to be out of this creepy place as quick as possible so I speed walked to the bathroom, doing what I had to do, washing my hands and started my walk all the way back to the bleachers. My eyes widened as I heard the all too familiar clanking noises, also referred to the dread doctors coming for you. I looked around trying to figure out where they were coming from but had no such luck as I turned and saw them right behind me with their giant needle. I whipped around trying to run but became unsuccessful as I felt myself held back by their sickeningly dirty gloved arms. "No!" I shrieked feeling the needle touching my skin. I let out a blood curdling scream as I felt the needle pierce my skin, my vision going dark and the last thing I saw was Theo running in to see me lying there.*

I woke up screaming at the top of my lungs, drenched in sweat, breathing heavy and throat dry. "No!" I shrieked again, my voice cracking and throat sore, my head snapped up ready to scream again as I heard my bedroom door swing open. I cried in relief seeing Liam and Mason both standing there wide eyed at my appearance, Liam came over to me immediately, Mason following. Liam didn't say anything and just let me cry into his shoulder. "What happened?" He asked as Mason went back to Liam's room to give us some privacy.

"Nightmare." I choked out, he nodded pulling me to sit on my bed. "About what?" He asked softly, despite everyone's belief, Liam can be very caring when necessary. "Dread Doctors." I whispered glancing at my clock, realizing I was only asleep for an hour I sighed. "What did they do?" He asked snapping me out of it. "I was at a lacrosse game, the last one against Devonford prep." I paused, taking a deep breath as my nightmare came flooding back to me. I jumped as someone started knocking on the front door urgently, hard enough that you could hear it clearly from upstairs.

I grew nervous as Liam said he'll be right back, "Kaia." I heard someone sigh from my door, I turned around as fast as possible. "Theo." I said, crying all over again. He came over to me as Liam slowly walked back to his room, "Baby, what happened, I heard you scream all the way from my house." He whispered, obviously he must not have fallen asleep yet. "The Dread Doctors, I had a nightmare and-and." I stuttered not wanting to relive it again. "It's okay you don't have to tell me." He said gently. I gripped on to him as he pulled me towards him. "You're okay, breathe." He mumbled into my hair. "I won't let anything happen to you." He added on leaning back to wipe the last of my tears.

"I'm sorry." I whispered shamefully looking up at him, his features softening even more if that's possible. "Don't be sorry." He told me, he pulled me to sit back down on my bed, he tugged me toward him gently and sat there with his arms wrapped around me. "I'm such a mess. My life's a mess." I mumbled, I felt him shake his head, "No it's not, you're aloud to let it out you know." He stated. "Considering everything that has and is happening in your life, you're very strong." He added on, I smiled into his arm that was laying underneath my chin. I sighed gently kissing his arm, laying my head down on it, "Thank you for being here." I whispered, he kissed the top of my head, "Thanks for letting me be here." He replied.

I laughed softly, almost inaudible. "Are we really that cheesy couple?" I asked looking up at him, he nodded a grin on his face, "Obviously." He laughed.
