Dom's POV

'No! No, stop! Leave me alone!' Lilly's screams woke me up in panic. 'Lilly! Lilly, I'm here baby. You're okay, it's okay, don't worry...' I wrapped my arms around Lilly and rubbed her back as she sobbed quietly. 'Dom, I can't do this anymore,' she said quietly, almost inaudible.

Lilly had been getting these dreams for three days now. They were terrifying for her, I could tell. Waking up to her screaming and crying was not very pleasant either. It was scary, mostly because when you wake up to that, your first thought isn't that she's dreaming. Every time I got a slight heart attack because I thought she was being murdered.

It was definitely bringing us closer, since Lilly was opening up to me about her feelings more, but this wasn't the way I wanted us to get closer. I didn't want Lilly to have to go through this every night. You could see that she wasn't sleeping well and she wasn't as high energy as she usually is. Every time it happened I wanted to go into her head and kill everything that was making this happen. But I was powerless. All I could do was try and comfort her afterwards.

Lilly's breathing finally slowed down and she seemed to feel a little better. 'Are you okay?' I asked quietly, as I rubbed her back gently. Lilly nodded and wiped her tears. 'I'm so over this...' I heard the defeat and disappointment in her voice. 'I know baby, I wish I could help you, you don't deserve this.' Lilly put her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes. She looked exhausted.

'Lilly, we need to get help, this isn't good. I can't help these dreams go away and they don't seem to disappear on their own either. I don't want you to feel like this...' I said quietly. Lilly nodded. 'Lilly, don't cry...' I cupped her cheek and wiped her tears with my thumbs. 'Everything is going to be okay soon, I know you. Lilly Singh doesn't give up. And I don't give up either. You'll get through this, I promise.' I kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly. 'I love you Dom.'

We laid back down and I wrapped my arms around Lilly. 'Try to sleep, tomorrow we'll get you to a doctor.' 'Thank you for being here with me,' Lilly whispered. 'That's what any good person would do,' I replied. Lilly put her hand on mine. 'Thank you for being a good person.'

'I have been having these really bad nightmares for the past three days. They feel very real and I keep waking up with a panic attack,' Lilly explained. The doctor write some things down and adjusted his glasses. 'Have you had any mental health problems lately?'

Lilly explained how she's been going through depression lately, but that things had just been getting better. I could tell she was having a hard time. Lilly didn't like showing that she needed help. She wanted to be strong. But sometimes getting help is what makes you strong. I hope she knew that.

'Thank you,' Lilly said as we left the doctor's office. The doctor told us that Lilly should take it easy because her nightmares could have many reasons, but most likely her depression and stress.

We got to Lilly's house and I unlocked the door. 'I'm proud of you Lilly,' I said as I closed the door behind her. 'Why?' I could hear that she was disappointed. 'Come on Lil, this isn't your fault. These dreams... They are extremely scary. The fact that you are still telling yourself to not give up, the fact that you asked for help... You are so damn strong. I don't care what you have to say against that because you are strong and there's nothing that will convince me otherwise.' I put my hands on her hips. 'I promise Lilly, you are one of the strongest people I know. And I know a lot of people.'

Lilly's eyes got glossy and she broke eye contact. 'Really?' Her voice was soft and quiet. 'Yes, really. You're the most beautiful, strong, talented, hard working, hot, smart and funny woman I have ever met.' I kissed her forehead gently. 'Dom, I don't deserve you-' 'You do. I'm not kidding, you're the best person I have ever met. You make me feel a way I've never felt before.'

'Dont cry,' I said when I saw Lilly wiping her cheeks. She smiled and put her hand on my chest. 'Dom, you're the best.' Our eyes closed and our lips connected. I deepened our kiss and pulled her closer. Lilly put her arm around my neck and I moved my hands up her back. I loved her touch, I loved her body, I loved her eyes, I loved the way she laughs, I loved how hard working she was.

I loved everything about her.

I loved every little thing about her.

Idk why but my writing isn't as good as it used to be aksksjdj just know I'm trying!
