*Ricky's P.O.V.*

When I got home, I found Sienna asleep on the couch. I smiled down at her small frame and leaned down to kiss her forehead. She stirred a little before her eyes fluttered open. She looked up at me and smiled. I returned the smile. She held her arms open.

"Cuddle with me, " she whined, sounding like a little kid. I chuckled at her.

"Let me go get us a blanket first, " I replied. She nodded, and I walked down the hallway to grab a black blanket out of the hall closet. I brought it back to the living room with me.

"Can we watch a movie?" She asked as I placed the blanket over her body.

"Which movie do you want to watch?" I wondered, bending down to scan the shelf.

"Lights Out, " she answered. I found it on the shelf and slipped the disc into the DVD player. I grabbed the remote and pressed play before crawling under the blanket with Sienna. We got got comfortable on the couch. I was behind her on the couch with my arms wrapped around her waist, holding her close to my body. She had her hands placed on my arms and held them there around her waist.

Soon, she drifted off to sleep, and I could tell she was dreaming because of the way she squirmed a little and spoke quietly.

"No, dad, I don't want to, " she whispered. I've never heard her talk about her dad before, so I turned the volume down on the movie to listen in on what she was saying. (A/N: I'm listening to my Spotify playlist while I'm writing this, and ngl I'm typing to the beat of all the songs..)

"Dad, please, don't do this, " she whined, her voice getting louder. All of a sudden, her body jolted, and she let out a deafening screech. I quickly shook her awake. Realizing that her dream was not a dream. It was a nightmare. Her eyes bolted open and tears were streaming down her face. Her breathing was unsteady as she took quick breaths. She shot up from the couch and paced around my house in search for the bathroom.

"Sienna, are you okay? Please, tell me what's wrong, " I begged, following behind her. She ignored me and leaned over the toilet as soon as she got to the bathroom. She threw up everything inside of her stomach while I held her hair back for her. I've never seen her like this before, and I was extremely worried about her now. I rubbed her back gently, and once she was finished vomiting, she flushed the toilet and lied on the bathroom floor as she continued to bawl her eyes out. I picked her up in my arms and sat her in my lap. She clung to my torso, and I held her impossibly closer to my body. We sat there for about thirty minutes in silence before she finished crying.

"Do you want to tell me what your nightmare was about, babe?" I inquired. She nodded.

"Yeah, it was about my dad. He used to abuse me. He would beat me a lot, call me names, and he'd never let my mom help me. She'd only have the opportunity to help me if he was out of the house or something, " Sienna admitted, sniffling at the end. I was beyond shocked, and anger was slowly boiling inside of me. If I ever meet her dad, I'll beat him like he did to Sienna. Sienna is so incredible and doesn't deserve this.

"Why didn't your mom call the police?" I asked.

"He said if she called the police, he'd kill me and her, " she answered. A stray tear ran down her cheek, so I kissed it away. She clung harder to me, and I copied her actions.

"I promise I'll never let anything or anybody hurt you ever again. You're too special and too precious to have to go through that or any of this. I love you so much, " I assured. My eyes welled with tears. I can't believe what she has just confessed to me.it was so hard to hear.

"I love you too, Ricky, " she returned. Sienna was my whole world, and I can't bear to see her hurting. Nobody deserves to go through anything as horrible abuse and cancer. I wanted to save her from this and make her happy. I love her so much.
