4:00am
I wake up breathing heavily and crying. My hands were shaking and the world was spinning too fast for my preference.
Don't scream. Don't scream. Don't scream.
That's what ran through my head. I felt everything but nothing.
Soon enough I heard footsteps coming towards my room.
My door flew open to reveal a worried yet shirtless cole. His breathing looked more unstable than mine.
"Madeline! Are you okay?" He says quickly making his way over to my bed.
My immediate reaction was to scoot away. It wasn't that I was afraid of him but rather I was afraid of myself. I didn't want to hurt him.
"Shhhh, I'm here, I'm here." He says trying to comfort me as he holds me tight in his arms.
My breathing cooled down and I started to come back to reality. I realized that cole was holding me in his arms trying to calm me down.
"Thank you." I said as I grabbed the water from my bed Side and took a sip.
"For what?" He said as he releases his grip on me staring me in the eyes.
"For helping me calm down." I say as I plop back into my bed. I felt very tired after all the energy that I'd just released from that attack.
"Oh, no problem. Do you want me to stay or something." He says as he starts to get up out of my bed.
"I'm fine. Thank you." I say as I start to fall back into my slumber and hear cole go back into his room.

Coffee.
That's the first smell that tickles my nose in the morning. The sun was beaming through my window and I could hear the sound of something sizzling in the kitchen.
I go to the bathroom and wash my face so I don't look completely ugly when I walk out there.
-
"Good morning." I say as I lean against the wall staring at shirtless cole. He looked like a god. I've never seen a person look so cute and sexy at the same time.
"Good morning." He says looking at me and gives me a smile.
I walk over to the keurig and make myself some coffee. I've always liked my coffee with a certain amount of cream and sugar. I noticed cole was making bacon and eggs which was a bonus to live with a guy that can cook.

Once we are finished eating I put my dish in the dishwasher and make my way back to my room so I can get ready for my day.
"Madeline?" He asks softly. I stop in my tracks and tun on my heals.
"Yes." I say to him. I might've came off sassy but it's the morning so I have an excuse.
"Do you wanna talk about last night? Or you can tell me later it's honestly up to you." He says trying not to make things too awkward between us.
