Chapter 17

Misty's POV (dream)

I walked downstairs and heard screaming from the kitchen.

"Michael stop!"

I started to run to the kitchen but the hallway I was running in got longer and longer making my way to my destination even longer.

"Sam!"

I screamed looking for my older brother. I got to the kitchen and saw my father holding a beer bottle threatening to throw it at my mother.

"Sam please take your sister to your room for mommy please."

I saw my mothers eyes. She was scared.

"Misty come on."

"No Sam! Save mom!"

I yelled at my brother who was trying to drag me out.

"Mom!"

I broke from his grip and ran up to my father kicking him in his shin making him drop the beer bottle. My brother ran to me again and tried to pull me away from my father.

My father raised his hand ready to slap me.

I jolted awake sitting up from my bed.

"Misty it was just a dream."

Calum sat up and cradled me in his arms.

"Shhh I'm here go back to sleep."

I couldn't I was scared. I felt myself shaking as I laid back down. Calum pulled the comforter over us and pulled me towards his chest. Calum placed his hand on my head wiping away the sweat that collected.

"You feel hot."

"I am."

I said feeling my cheeks getting warmer.

"I think you have a fever."

I nodded my head and buried my face in my pillow trying to fall back asleep.

"I'll go get medicine."

I shook my head and wrapped my arm around his waist making Calum unable to leave.

"Misty you need it to get better."

I shook my head again.

"You can get it tomorrow."

I mumbled through the pillow.

"You sure?"

I nodded my head and placed it on his chest listening to his heartbeat.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Calum asked slowly wrapping his arms around my body.

"Tomorrow."

"Ok."

Then I felt my eyelids drop and everything went black.

I felt my body shake as I woke up to see Calum shaking me with one hand and holding a bottle of medicine in another.

"It's 10:30 already and your temperature is getting hotter."

He twisted off the cap and shook out 2 blue and red pills. If it wasn't for Calum to wake me up, I would've probably slept the throughout the day without noticing it. I tried sitting up but I felt absolutely weak. Calum grabbed my arm and pulled me up next to him with his one arm strength and passing the pills in my hand.

"Here"

He said as he gave me a cup of water.

"Thanks."
