Come And Save Me, Tonight.

We All Fall Down

I saw the blood before I could feel the pain. It felt like there were thousands of tiny knives digging their way through my skin. I could feel the fire before I saw Kyle hovering over me, laughing wickedly. It felt as though the tiny knives somehow lit themselves on fire, and were making their way to my heart. 

I noticed at the other corner of the room I was in, Steven was tied to a pole, in pain, and there was nothing I could do about it. 

"Kyle, please don't do this." I begged "I'll do anything. I'll come back if it means you'll leave Steven alone, and you'll stop hurting me. Please." I cried

"Too late, honey." He laughed manically. He whipped out a gun and pointed it at Steven.

"NO!!!" I cried. I somehow fought through the pain, and got up in time to run over to Steven, and jump in front of the bullet, saving Steven's life.

Much like the bullet ripping through my body, a scream ripped through my soul, and apparently out of my mouth.

"MIA! MIA WAKE UP!" Steven was shouting, shaking me, and wrapping his arms around me. "It was only a dream, Baby, you're safe. don't worry."

Beads of sweat covered my body, and I was shaking voilently. There were tears streaming down my face, but I wasn't crying. I just sat there, wide-eyed, breathing heavily, trying to stop the anxiety attack I was about to have. 

"Baby, are you okay?" Steven asked me, wiping the tears away.

"Y-" I paused. Was I really okay? What the fuck? I was so happy. I haven't had a bad dream in over a month. Why now? Was it telling me something? "Yeah.." I stammered. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Do you want to talk about it, love?" He rubbed my back, trying to soothe me. 

"You...." I stuttered

"I what? Did I hurt you again? Baby you know I would neve-" 

"No." I cut him off. "No, you were the one being hurt. It was Kyle. He beat me, and had you tied up in a corner of the room. He tried to shoot you, but I jumped in front of the bullet for you." I started crying again. "I just wanted to make sure you were safe. I thought I lost you, for a moment."

He cupped my face in his hands, and stared me directly in the eyes.

"Baby, you will NEVER lose me." He smiled, and then kissed me. "I'm 100% yours. Forever."

"I know.. I just. I got scared is all." He pulled me into him, and I burried my face into his chest.

"Do you want me to make you a cup of tea?" He smiled down at me, but I could still see the worry and concern in his eyes. 

"No, I'm okay, I just.. I just want to stay like this. Wrapped in the arms of my love." I smiled, and kissed him. 

Eventually I fell asleep again. When I woke up, I rolled over onto an empty, unmade, Steven-less half of the bed. I looked over at the clock and it read 10:30. It's not too early, but not too late either. 

"I wonder where Steven is?" I thought aloud. Just then, as though someone was answering my rhetorical question, I put my hand down on the bed to push myself up, and I felt a piece of paper crumpling under my weight. It was a note from Steven.

'Hi love, the boys and I went to the studio for a bit. Some last minute work needed to be done before the concert tonight. The other girls are either still asleep, or waiting for you, to go shopping or go to the Beach. Be back soon. All my love, Steven <3' I smiled and kissed the paper. 

Then, I climbed out of the very large king bed, and strolled into the bathroom, and ran the hot water. I noticed on the bathroom counter, there was an IHome. Just like the apartment! I plugged in my IPod and hit shuffle, and of course, 'Crazy' began blasting through the speakers. I chuckled and hopped into the shower.
