Alex's POV

I snuggle against Johns chest, never wanting to leave. He groans in his sleep, but I'm too scared to fall asleep. The thunder crashes outside, and rain pours on the roof. I yelp when a bolt of lightning strikes, finally waking John.
"Baby! W-what's wrong?" he asks, looking at me. I merely whimper in reply. I'm shaking so bad he can barely hold my hand. He kisses my lips, placing a hand on my back, pulling me closer. I sob into his chest, the thunder crashing outside.
"Babe, it's ok. I'm here." he strokes my hair, and intertwines our legs. The thunder is growing fainter and fainter, and my sobbing ends.
"B-babe? I'm s-so s-s-sorry. A hurricane destroyed my town w-when I was on-only seventeen. S-storms scare the crap out me to this d-day. I'm sorry. I love you babe, and I f-feel bad this h-happened on our engagement n-night." I say, shuddering slightly.
"Baby, why are you sorry? It's not your fault. I love you too. And hey, it's not our engagement night anymore. It's 3:28 am. Don't worry." he replies groggily. I smile to myself, and he pulls his now-sopping-wet shirt off, throwing it on the ground. He kisses my lips once more before falling asleep again. Finally, I close my eyes and feel sleep overcome my body.
