Roses ➳ Shawn Mendes [2] ✓

Chapter 16

Screams.

Blake heard screams coming from Signe's room which made him jump off his bed, eyes wide open, his heart beating wildly on his chest as he rose up from his bed and ran towards the girl's room. He opened the door ready to punch someone if they were hurting the girl only to find her gasping as if she was trying to breathe at the same time she moved unsettlingly in her sleep.

"Signe! It's okay. Wake up, wake up." He told her worriedly as he grabbed one of her hands. Signe opened her eyes while she sat down, her back leaning against the bed board at the same time she tried to slow down her breaths.

She took a hand to her head and groaned. "I don't know what is worse. The nightmare or this headache."

Blake chuckled and Signe grimaced at him. He sat down next to her, his mind bringing back the moment when they kissed last night. He had never thought about doing it before so he didn't know why they kissed. Did she remember it? If not he would have to talk about it.

"What was your nightmare about?" He questioned as he grabbed the glass of water he had left on Signe's bedside table and gave it to her. She drank all of it and leaned her head against the bed board as well, closing her eyes.

"Jeremy. He wanted to kill me. Again." She told him as she opened her eyes again and laughed unwillingly. Shawn had told Blake once about her nightmares and the blond boy was aware of how long it took until the ginger was able to finally rest while sleeping. Now, the nightmare seemed to be back and the idea of the girl going on a regression was becoming real.

"Signe, have you thought about traveling?"

"Traveling? No, why?"

"Maybe...maybe it could help you." Blake suggested as he thought about Eva's solution to her problems.

"Blake I'm not going to leave Daniel. Have you seen how he is?" Signe retorted as she furrowed her brows.

"For once Signe worry about you only." The blond boy let out. Caring about someone else wasn't a bad trait, in fact, it was a very good one and Signe had it, however, she would always put others first instead of her and sometimes you need to put yourself first. This was her time. "Daniel is a strong man. Unfortunately, he went through this before, he'll cope better with this than you will."

"You don't know that."

"You're right, I don't. But what I know is that you are regressing Signe. For how long didn't you dream about Jeremy?" Blake riposted. The girl didn't answer, instead, she bit her lower lip as if she was trying to fight back the tears although she didn't seem like she was going to cry. "Like I said, maybe a little trip would help you clean your mind."

"You truly believe that?"

"Yeah! I even believe you'll come back singing."The blond boy moved happily on his place just by the thought of seeing Signe singing again. If that made her happy then it would make him happy again too.

"I don't know Blake. I have to speak with Daniel first. He might need me." Signe said as she massaged her tempers.

"No. I'll take care of that." Blake offered. If that was what it took to help the ginger work towards getting back her happiness then that was exactly what he was going to do. Besides, he liked Daniel and Daniel liked him, so there was no problem.

"Blake..."

"There's no going back. Start packing. The sooner you go the better." He could imagine Signe making a joke of what he said, yet the girl just sent him a puzzled look and shrugged afterward. "Also...do you remember anything from last night?"
