Robert's POV

I woke up, and looked around. I saw Aaron, clinging on to the duvet with a frown on his sleeping face. I smiled, wondering what he was dreaming about. Obviously, something not too pleasant, so I cuddled him. Aaron was so warm, maybe he was ill? I hoped not, maybe it was just stress. Not long after I was cuddling Aaron, his face changed and he seemed content. I smiled again, Aaron looked so beautiful whilst he was asleep. I managed to fall asleep again, knowing Aaron was safer.

Aarons POV

I woke up somewhere, it wasn't in my room. I could hear a woman's voice arguing with a mans, they sounded familiar. I knew those voices! I listened a bit closer, and I recognised who they were. Sandra, and my dad. They were arguing over me, about my bad behaviour. I heard my dad tell Sandra to go out, enjoy herself whilst he has a word with me. I dreaded this, he'd been shouting at me before, because they spent all of their time with my baby sister, Olivia. Don't get me wrong, I liked her, I just didn't like the fact that I was left alone, ALL of the time. I heard the door slam, and my bedroom door opened. I saw my dad, with a horrible look on his face, storm over to my bed. This wasn't the first time, and I'd been crying, knowing what was to come. All of a sudden, the door opened, and someone picked me up, and ran out of the door before my dad could to anything. The person quickly turned round, with me by his side, and punched my dad in the face. This person was about the same age as me, maybe a bit older, and looked familiar. I couldn't make out who he was though. We ran through the door, and there was an really bright light, and I was on a bridge, hugging Robert, and I clung on to him, finally making me feel safe, protected.

I woke up, feeling confused, and I turned my head slightly to see that Robert was hugging me in his sleep. That must explain why I'd had that nightmare. The trial was tomorrow, and I'm really worried about it. I was so scared that Gordon would go free, that there wasn't enough evidence. My breathing started to go faster, I was panicking so much. I slowly got out of bed, so that Robert wouldn't notice and wake up, and I went to the bathroom. I turned on the tap, and washed my face, to wake myself up. A voice in my head told me to go in the cabinet, to get my old friend out. I tried to resist, but I was already in the cabinet, looking for it. I found the blade, and I was about to bring it out when Robert came in, and asked "Aaron, what are you doing?". It was obvious what he thought with the worried look on his face. I panicked in my head, and said "I was erm, looking for something to calm me down, you know, about tomorrow", then turned back to the cabinet and quickly hid the blade and pretended to look for something.

Robert's POV

Aaron turned back to the cabinet and started rifling through. Something in his voice told me that he wasn't telling the truth, but I couldn't be sure. Then I realised that he was 'looking' in the wrong cabinet. I knew then. "Erm, Aaron, that's the wrong cabinet" I said, and I came to look over and he shut the cabinet and stood up. "Oh yeah, I'm just really tired, wasn't thinking straight" he replied, looking down. "Okay, could you get out though, I need the loo" I said, and Aaron gave me a weak smile and went back to his room. I locked the bathroom door, and looked in the cabinet. Aaron hadn't hid his blade very well, just out of sight, and I just sighed, and tried my best not to cry. I flushed the toilet, because Aaron would be suspicious. I went back in, and Aaron was sat on the edge of the bed, his head in his hands. I walked over, and gave him a big hug. He practically melted into it, silently sobbing. "Please don't ever think about that again, please, its going to be okay, that creep's going to be put away, and you will get justice. It'll be okay" I whispered into his ear, and Aaron started to calm down. He must be stressed, to think about self-harm again. I rocked Aaron gently, and soon enough he stopped crying.

Aaron's POV

Robert was rocking me, and I started to feel a bit better. He was so scared that I'd start again, and if he hadn't have walked in on me then I would have. I clung on to Robert, wishing I never had to let go, and we were sat there for hours, cuddling, and he kept rocking me, making sure if I was alright. I looked up at Rob, and we were lost in each others eyes, and he leaned forward and kissed me, and asked if I was okay now. I nodded, and then Robert looked over at my alarm clock and said "We've been cuddling for ages you know, it's 7am now". I looked out of the window, and saw that it was bright outside.We cuddled for a while longer, and then my stomach rumbled, making us both giggle a bit, lightening the mood. "Come on, lets get something to eat" I said, and Robert nodded. Robert had a suit ready, for the trial today because he was still going, even if Chas told him not to bother. We got changed into our suits, and went downstairs to grab something to eat.
