BREANNA'S POV

"Breanna... Bree wake up." A deep voice said while shaking me gently, my eyes jolt open and I see Simon standing next to my bed.

"Thank God." He sighs with relief.

"Thanks for waking me." I say tiredly with a small smile.

"That's okay, now try go back to sleep." He says lifting my blankets up to my chin and I smile even wider at the memory of how my mum would always do that when she would send me to bed when I was younger.

"Goodnight." I say and turn on my side.

"Goodnight Bree." Simon says and turns my lamp off then walks out.

I kept tossing and turning in my bed, I just couldn't go back to sleep. I guess it was because I was scared of having the same nightmare again in one night if that's even possible. I now lay on my back staring at the white ceiling. My phone lights up, I should really turn my phone off when I'm asleep. I roll over to see who was calling me at 1:40am. 1:40am?! Who calls at a time like this? The answer is Liam Payne.

I smile when I read his name and my stomach does flips but I try my best to ignore them as I answer his call.

"Hello Liam." I say tiredly, why did I have to be tired now?

"Bree!" He says relieved.

"Why are you calling me at this ridiculous time in the morning?" I ask and giggle.

"Sorry... I just wanted to make sure that you were safe." He replies embarrassed and I can imagine him turning red.

"That's okay, I was just woken up by Simon a little while ago." I say.

"Oh so you weren't asleep?" He asks confused.

"No, I was having the most terrible dream. I swear it was real though... What about you?" I ask remembering what had happened.

"Yeah me too." He replies.

"Oh... well I'm really tired so I'm going to go back to sleep now."

"Okay, night." And I hang up.

As soon as my head hits the pillow I fall asleep pretty much straight away and sleep peacefully.

When I wake up I have lost almost half of my day so I decide to tell my boss Taylah that I will be needing two weeks off work. I quickly get dressed into something decent and head off. On my way to work I stop at Starbucks and grab a caramel hot chocolate then continue my journey to Top Shop.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" Hayley greets me as I walk in the door.

"I need to see Taylah." I respond looking around the room.

"She's in her office." Hayley says and goes off to help a customer.

I knock on her door and she gestures for me to enter.

"Hello Breanna, how can I help you?" She asks and tells me to take a seat.

I begin to explain that I was in an accident and I need two weeks off. I hand over my doctor's certificate and she looks a bit disappointed but I don't ask why.

"Thanks for telling me and please take care." She says and smiles.

"I will. I shall see you soon!" I say and leave the shop.

I decide to go back home to avoid fans and paparazzi because even though Liam tweeted about that we're not in a relationship, the fans and paparazzi still want answers from me and it has become very irritating. I haven't given them anything because I feel like I shouldn't have to.

"Breanna?" A male voice calls behind me.

I turn around and it's some guy with a grey hood and black Ray Bans, I don't recognise him so I keep walking.

"Bree wait!" They guy says and runs up to my side.

"It's me. Zayn." He says and pulls his sunglasses down for a second.

"Oh my gosh I didn't even realise that it was you! What are you doing here?" I ask.

"It's my mum's birthday soon so I'm just looking around for some ideas." He explains, that was so nice of him.

"So what are you doing here?" He asks curious.

"I had to take some time off work because of the... incident." I reply and look down.

Zayn stops walking and puts his hands on my shoulders and looks deeply into my eyes. "You do not understand how much we all want to go find that guy that did this to you and lock him up so he can't hurt anyone else. Especially Liam and Niall, they are both very protective of you... anyways, we all love you Bree and none of us guys expected anything to happen after we met you the first time but to be honest I am glad that we still talk and stuff because you are great company."

Tears threaten to spill from my eyes so I pull Zayn in for a tight hug so I can let a tear fall.

Especially Liam... Especially Liam?!

"What do you mean by especially Liam?" I ask curiously before I can stop myself.

"After he told us he didn't stop crying and I was talking to Niall over the phone and he said that he called you up to see if you were safe. I think he is falling for you Bree." He answers with a small smile.

Butterflies erupt in my stomach at Zayn's answer, wait I take that back. A zoo erupts in my stomach and I can't help but smile.

"Thank you so much Zayn, you do not understand how much those words mean to me." I whisper into his ear before pulling away and he smiles.

"No problem, I'll see you round." He says and leaves me standing alone in my thoughts.

I look around and I spot a chocolate shop, just what I need. I buy five boxes of chocolate to give to the boys to say thank you because I have no idea what to get famous people. I also buy myself a block of chocolate to save for when I am feeling sad and need to eat my feelings.
