A Bad Dream

Thanks for 400 reads!

Arin's POV:

As I looked at the girl, Y/N I think, I noticed her shift. My first thought was well that's adorable. That is, until she started whimpering and thrashing about. I brought her closer to my chest and stroked her back gently, trying to comfort her.

"Shh. It's okay, Y/N." I soothed, and she relaxed slightly.

I surprised myself with how paternal I was, but it made me smile. That vanished when Y/N jolted awake and looked at me as if I were a monster.

Y/N's POV:

I hesitantly walked into the doors of my house, trying to avoid my parents if I could and just get upstairs to my room. The smell of booze hit me and I gagged.

"Gross.." I murmured as I quietly crept up the stairs.

As I made it into my room, I released a sigh and locked the door. It kept him away for a while, but not forever.

He broke the door and I screamed and curled up into a ball. Pain split through my back as hands that were once loving and gentle hit me in fury.

He screamed profanities at me, calling me a lovely word that rhymes with itch. Venting that nothing good every came out of having me.

Tears ran down my face like a waterfall. Please just leave, please leave me alone, please just let it end, please-

I heard him walk out. He had left, but not before giving me serious bruises and scarring me both emotionally and physically.

The dream shifted.

It was back at the convention, where all
this craziness started. Everything was the same, but this time through, I recognized the man who forced me to drink the potion.

As everything else became bigger, the blonde-streaked brunette chuckled and picked me up. I wriggled around, trying to break free. He laughed.

My eyes snapped open and I shrank away from the warm chest. Dizziness overwhelmed me as I was quickly lifted to be eye level with him. I forced myself to look at him and when I did, I saw a face painted with guilt and worry.

I flinched as his hand neared me and squeezed my eyes closed. I felt something brush gently against my cheek and I opened my eyes. I didn't realize that I'd been crying, but Arin had just wiped my tears away.

"Are you okay?"

I gave a reluctant nod and he let out a soft sigh of relief, his warm breath enveloping me.

"That's good." He said with genuine kindness. "I'm always here for you Y/N."

Bee's POV:

"But who are you?"

Ross' left eyebrow was raised slightly, seeming curious. He noticed me looking at it and let it rest, returning to his calm composure. His piercing blue eyes studied me and made me shudder.

He noticed and scooped me up, making me yelp. I noticed Alex take a step forward but she froze at the look he gave her.

I didn't see the words he mouthed to he before he took me into another room. He placed me onto a table and sat down. He crossed his arms and rested them on his desk, then rested his chin on his hands.

He was looking right at me.

It's hard not to get intimidated by him, and for more reasons than one. 1- he's gigantic, 2-those frighteningly calm eyes, and 3- the silence. He hadn't said anything yet. He just watched me.

I started shaking as I saw myself reflected on the calm blue orbs. I hadn't been looking at his eyes until now, but they made me realize how small I really was. How he could easily hurt me. At this, he frowned and I flinched.

"Aw, do I scare you?" He mocked.

I glared at him.

"Shut up." I adverted my gaze.

"Or what? What will you do?"

He was right. He may not have spoken, but I knew what he meant. I couldn't do anything to stop him, and he knew it. Proven by the smirk on his Australian face.

"Nothing." I said quietly, tears beginning to prick my eyes. "Nothing, because I physically can't. You're so much bigger than me and my insignificant size can't do anything to stop you."

At this point, my voice was barely above a whisper. I didn't know if he heard me, and honestly? I didn't know if I wanted him to. He said nothing for a while. So I glanced up.

His smirk had faltered and he scooped me up. I squeezed my eyes closed. That is, until I realized what he was doing. He'd put me close to his chest, the heat soothing me.

He was hugging me.

A/N: 800 words!

Not the longest chapter (or the best place to end it) but I'm busy with testing and wanted to get something out for y'all! I'm having some writers block, so please leave plot suggestions for me!

I'll have a good 4 hours to write on Thursday (maybe) so expect a chapter then! Hope you enjoyed the chapter 🙃
