~*Brad's POV*~

The past couple of days have been super busy. In between packing for Japan, we've filmed The Paul O'gradey Show and Britain's Got Talent. And today, we're flying across the globe to Japan.

We met up with the others in the carpark and had a catch up in Starbucks after checking our bags in. Connor has had his nose pierced and it actually really suits him. Sammy also has a few more ear piercings than she did last time I saw her. We sit talking in the cafe until our plane is called, ready for boarding.

We board the plane in record timing and I clame the window seat and Becky seats herself next to me. Connor next to Sammy, Joe next to Dean and Tris next to James.

Becky and I instantly put our headphones on and block out everything that's going on around us.

***

I wake up after being disturbed. I look down at my iPod. It's 18.21.

I notice the my chair shaking so I turn to face Becky, sqirming, sweating and whimpering.

I frantically pull my headphones off my head and shake Becky.

" Becky. Becky, baby. Wake up!" I whisper/shout, trying to wake her but not wanting to draw any unwanted attention.

Becky's eyes shoot open and she's breathing heavy. I can't tell if she's crying or if its just beads of sweat tumbling down her face.

She looks deep into my eyes before visibly relaxing. " What's the matter, gorgeous?" I ask, rubbing her thigh.

" Just a nightmare." She tells me, her voice shaking.

" Do you want to talk about it?"

She shakes her head. " No. I just want a cuddle."

I recline my chair and make room for Becky as she lays down next to me. I rap my arms around her and kiss her sweaty forehead. She rests her head on my chest and slings her leg over mine.

" I love you, Bradley. Never forget that. Whatever happens, I love you."

" Hey! What's brought this on?"

" Nothing." She lies.

" It's something you've dreamt about, isn't it."

She sighs and nods.

I sigh and pull her closer. " I love you, too. Try and get some more sleep, baby. We'll be there before you know it."

She nods and closes her eyes, snuggling her face into my neck. I push one ear bud into my ear and one into Becky's and put on The Kooks as I know they help her sleep.

~*Becky's POV*~

I lay next to Brad, silently singing along to The Kooks playing my ear, completely unable to sleep, yet I daren't open my eyes since Brad and Tris have started talking and I hear my name mentioned.

" Is Becky alright? I saw her shaking and crying earlier."

" I honestly don't know, Tris. She keeps having these nightmares but she never tells me what they're about. Whenever we get onto the subject, she closes up and I stop pushing her 'cause I don't want to push her away," He pauses and sighs. " I get the feeling that she doesn't feel like she's able to talk to me and open up to me anymore. I don't want to lose her. Not after everything we've been through."

He really feels like that? I'm pushing him away. I'm hurting him and I can't even see it. What sort of girlfriend does that!?

" I don't know what to say, Brad... I know Becky loves you more than anything; when I'm alone with Becky, all she talks about is you. After everything you've been through together, I doubt very much that she wants to lose you. Just let her tell you in her own time," I feel Brad nod in agreement with Tris. " I'm not sticking up for Becky completely, though. I see where you're coming from; she needs to open up to you more because she's going to lose your trust. You need to let her know that you care and that she can come to you about anything. You need to win her trust all over again."

But you have all my trust, Bradley.

" But how do I do that? I don't even know how I won her trust the first time! How and I suppose to do it again!?"

You don't have to do anything, baby. I trust you!

Tris pauses to think for a while." Tell her something no one else knows; let her know how much you trust her and she should return that trust. I don't know... take her out for dinner or something; spend some alone time with her. Make her feel special; like she's the only girl in the world."

I rap my arm around Brad's torso and cuddle in close to him.

" See. She's crazy about you, man."

" I guess." I know Brad's smiling his cute little smile he gives me by the way his voice has changed.

* We will be landing in the next 30 minutes. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts. Thank you*

Brad effortlessly lifts me up and lays me back in my own chair and I instantly miss him, even though he's sat right next to me. And for some reason, I get the feeling I want to cry but I fight with everything I have to stop any tears falling.

Brad pulls my seatbelt over my lap and straps me in, taking my hand in his after I hear the click of his own belt.

I suddenly become very tired and can't stay awake any longer.
