Alexander's POV
BOOM! The sound of thunder echoed through the house. I jumped at the sound. Ever since the hurricane that happened when I was 17, I have had the worst fear of storms. BOOM! I jumped again, this time dropping the book that was in my hands. John needs to hurry up and get home, he is the only one that can help control my fear. BOOM! The candle on my desk blew out, making me even more scared and needing John so much more. I found the box of matches and relit the candle. BOOM! I jumped again, making a hundred matches spill all over the floor. While I was picking them up, the storm continued. Each time I heard thunder or saw the flashes of lightning, I jumped which delayed me picking up the matches. BOOM! That's it, I am totally freaked out. I dropped the box of matches then I made my way to the corner of my bedroom, grabbed a blanket and curled up into a ball, shivering.

John's POV
BOOM! I heard the sound of thunder. Uh oh. I have to get home. You see, my boyfriend, Alexander is deathly afraid of storms and I am the only person who can calm him down during them.
"Laf, Herc! I have to go! Alex is probably freaking out by now." I yelled as I ran out the door. Don't worry Alex, I'm coming.

Alexander's POV
After another rumble of thunder,no heard the door close.
"Alex?" I heard John call.
"J-John? In here!" I called.
"Awww baby!" John said as he ran in the room,looking at me curled up in a ball. He ran over to my side and picked me up. I curled up into his chest. For a minute we just sat on the floor, him holding me. Then he picked me up and put me in bed. He stood up and started to walk into the other room.
"John, where are you going? Don't leave me! I'm scared!"
"Don't worry baby, I'm going to go make us some dinner."
"No! Stay here and cuddle me! We can eat when the storm is over!" I cried.
I moved over onto my side of the bed and John climbed in and joined me. I laid my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.
"There, is that better Alex?" I nodded. I fell asleep a few minutes later to the soft sound of rain in my boyfriend's arms and I couldn't have felt more protected.
