Last time

"Hey, so this is Anne and she's going to take us through to a room, to scan our bags, and do a body scan with the hand scanner so you can still hold onto Shawn"

MATURE READING AHEAD (SKIP TO BOLD if you are don't want to read)

I blink, looking around I'm back in the alley, the guy is standing in front of me, the sly smirk on his face, I scream but he slaps his hand over my mouth, grabbing my body roughly with his hands, I try to kick him and push him away. 'let me go' I scream managing to push his hand off. 'Shut up, you stupid bitch' he grabs my breast squeezing it roughly, 'no one's gonna help you' he screams in face 'Maya!? Maya!?' I hear Rocky and Ryland scream before I see them run around the corner, they run towards us and try to pull the guy off, he turns around punching Rocky in the face making him fall to the floor before punching Ryland in the stomach then kicking him making him also drop to the floor 'no, don't hurt them, leave them alone' he laughs coming back to me, shoving me back against the wall ripping my top off, tears run down my face. 'Maya!?' Shawn yells running down the alley, 'Fuck off dude! You can have'er after I'm finished' Shawn grabs the guys shoulder trying to pull him off, the guy swings his arm backwards knocking Shawn to the side, he pulls my pants down as well as his, and grabs something from his jacket, the boys stand back up, I try to push him off, 'stoop it and take it' he yells slapping me, the boys run towards him, his other hand comes up and I let out a cry when I see a gun, then the next second I hear 3 bangs one after another, I cry as the boys all fall to the floor blood pouring from their body 'NOOOOOOOO, SHAWN! ROCKY! RYLAND! ROCKY! ROCKY! RYLAND! RYLAND! SHAWNNN!!! NO!!!!!'

I gasp sitting up, I feel a hand on my arm and I scream, moving backwards only to fall onto the ground, I let a small whimper of pain, a light flicks on beside the bed and I see Shawn's face, I gasp and scramble up on to the bed, my hands quickly run over his chest and stomach, trying to find the bullet wound, I pull up his t-shirt looking for it franticly. His hands grab my arms stopping my movements,

"no, no, no, where is it, are you ok? Where is it, I'm so sorry, It's all my fault" I cry out, gripping onto his t-shirt.

"Hey, hey, shhh, Maya, shhh, I'm ok, you're ok, I've got you, you're safe" he mummers, rubbing my arms up and down and pulling me into a hug.

"Babe, you have to breath, ok you need to calm down" it's only then do I realise my breathing is short and sharp, my eyes widen and my breathing quickens even more.

"Hey, hey, you're ok, breath with me ok, come on Maya, breath in" he takes a deep breath I try and copy him by breath hitching a bit, Shawn continues to take me through some breathing, once my breathing his labored, he moves me to his side and starts to get up.

"NO!" I cry out, scrambling in my spot to reach him. He frowns, sitting back down and I quickly move into his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Maya, what's wrong? I'm just going to get your tablets to help you relax" he tells me rubbing my back.

"D-don't le-leave me" I cry, he moves slightly so he's leaning against the head of the bed. He reaches to the side table and grabs his phone, I burry my head in his neck, one hand rubs my back as his other hold his phone to his ear.

"Hey, Sammy, yeah sorry for waking you up, but can you come to my room now, yeah, bring the sleep tablets" Shawn puts his phone down then wraps his other arm around me holding me close.

"Maya, what happened?" he asks pulling my face to look into my eyes. I shake my head trying to get the images of the nightmare out of my head.

"I-I was b-back in the alley-y, and then Rocky and Ryland and you all came to-to hel-lp but, h-he hurt you-u, then he-he s-s" my voice cuts off as my body shudders with a sob

"Maya, I'm fine, Rocky and Ryland are fine" he rubs my back, but I shake my head his words not regressing in my head.

"He- he shot you all" I cry out.

"Oh, Maya, hun, I am ok, no one shot me, or Ryland or Rocky we are all ok" He tells me twisting me around so my legs are wrapped around his waist. I shake my head, trying to get the pictures out of my head. Shawn and I are quite for some time, him just holding me in his arms. Till there's a knock at the door.

"Baby, can I put you down so I can go let Sammy in?" I shake my head quickly tightening my grip around his neck.

"Don't leave me, please" I whisper, he gently kisses my forehead,

"I won't" he moves slowly off the bed, hooking one arm underneath me to support me.

"Hey Sammy, sorry for waking you"

"It's fine don't stress about it" giving a tired smile Sammy moves his way inside Shawn's room, his eyes move to me

"What happened?"

"She had a nightmare flashback kind of thing, she was back in the alley and Rocky, Ry and I tried to help her but we all got shot" He explains as he moves back to the bed, I whimper at his words, seeing it happen again, letting out a cry, I try and get my-self closer to him.

"Hey, it's ok, I am fine so are Rocky and Ry, I've got you, you're safe." rubbing my back gently.

"Here Maya, take this" I look over to Sammy to see him holding out one of my sleep tablets, I rarely take them, only when I'm in a really dark place and don't sleep. I shake my head, I don't want to have another nightmare.

"Maya, sweet it's 2am, you need sleep"

"No, I don't want to, I'm not going back to sleep"

"Love, I'll be right here, you'll be ok" Shawn tells me quietly, rubbing my back gently. I still shake my head, visions of the nightmare and what happened flashing before my eyes, I can feel my throat closing again, his hand around my neck, I move my hands up to my neck trying to get rid of the feeling. Everything starts to become blurry, I see two figures move in front of me, one of them moves a bit closer their hands moving up towards my neck and face, I let out a scream. Moving backwards, I kick my legs, hearing a grunt.

"Maya, hey it's just me, Shawn and Sammy, nod if you can hear me" I nod my head,

"Now I want you to move your hands away from your neck" I blink a few times, my vision clearing slightly and I finally sense my hands on my neck, I move them slowly to my lap.

"Alright, good, now I need you to calm down, I need you to breath." I focus on the sound of his voice, my breathing becoming regular.

"Good job, now I am going to move closer to you, ok" I nod my head, I stretch out one of my hands. I feel his take mine in his softly, giving it a small squeeze. I blink a few more times, his figure coming in clear. I reach out my other hand as he moves his body closer to me. He wraps his arms around me. I crumple into his hold. Burying my head into his chest as tears prick my eyes, but I blink them back, I'm done crying. He gently brushes his finger through my hair.

"You're ok, we're going to keep you safe and protect you."

"Maya, I need to clean up your neck a little, so can you sit up for me" Sammy says, a wash cloth in his hand.

"My neck?"

"You've got scratch marks on your neck, you were clawing at your neck" I nod my head, still feeling very numb.
