Nicole's P.O.V.

I was awaken by someone shaking me. "Babe, why are you crying?"

"I was crying in my sleep?" I ask, feeling confused.

"Yes, why?"

"I just had a dream about you leaving at the airport. I obviously didn't realize I was crying in my sleep." I'm so scared for today. I don't wanna leave him.

The dream I had wasn't even a nightmare. I just don't wanna go. I wanna see my mom, but I don't wanna leave Dan.

My flight is at 6:00pm tonight. His is at 3:00pm, which means he'll be leaving before me. Right now, it's 9:36, meaning I have plenty of time to spend with him today.

I remove my covers, suddenly realising that Dan and I were both completely bare. Yep, I'm so tired that I forgot that Dan and I hooked up.

I also realise that I'm in some pain. "Babe, can you run a bath for me?" I ask. He did the same thing last time we had sex.

"Anything for you," he says. He stands up and puts on Calvin Kleins and sweatpants. He walks into the bathroom.

Dan's P.O.V.

As I walk into the bathroom, I start thinking. The biggest thought on my mind is that we're both leaving. She's going to Uxbridge to get more of her stuff and relax for a week. Then, she's going to Massachusetts. I will miss her more than anything.

I just wonder how I'm gonna be there for her if her mother dies. I've never been in this kind of situation.

I brush some of my thoughts away as I turn on the bath.

Fuck, I'm gonna miss her. I'm only half a heart without her by my side.

Nicole's P.O.V.

Dan comes out of the bathroom and picks me up off the bed. "You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," Dan says, making me blush.

Jesus Christ, how many times has he made me blush this week?

He gently puts me in the bubble bath. I instantly feel so relaxed. "You want me to stay here?" Dan asks.

"Yeah, that'd be great," I say, letting a smile peak out. He doesn't get in the bath with me. One of the reasons is because of how tall he is. I almost wonder how I'm able to fit in here. I'm huge for a girl.

I look at him with a sad face. I feel like I'm gonna be lost without him by my side.

"What's wrong?" he asks; he can clearly see that I'm upset.

"I-" I pause as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'm gonna miss you so much," I say, a tear falling down. "I have to go back to my shitty life, and I don't wanna do that. I just wanna hide from my problems. My mom is gonna die soon, my dad is a lying piece of shit.. just everything is gonna be terrible. Once she's gone, I'll have no one in my family to talk to except for my brother, Cory. I never see him, though. I just want to stay here with you and..."

"And what, love?" he asks. At this point, I'm bawling my eyes out.

"I just wanna leave everything behind and be with you. I wasn't this happy until the day I met you at the airport. I wanna see my mom, but I also don't wanna be there when she dies. The reason for that is because I don't want to see her suffer."

He brings me in for a big hug. It made me feel better. His arms are like home to me.

"Everything will be ok, Nicole," he reassures me. "I'll be here whenever you need me." I let go of him. My breathing becomes irregular. "Shh, relax," Dan says, "breathe with me." I breathe with him, and I feel myself start to calm down.
