I decided I would leave Jake there. I didn't know whether or not he'd punch me in the face or not if I tried to wake him. So I curled back in to my bed and closed my eyes thinking of Jake and I staring at the Eiffel Tower a few nights ago.
Thinking of Jake didn't last long because I woke up again, I was screaming but I was crying and was sweating also. I was breathing hard, dreaming what I just dreamt was horrifying. I got up quickly going in to the bathroom and I emptied my guts. "Addie?" I sleepy Cole walked in to the bathroom, where I had my head over the toilet. "Addison. What's wrong?" he asked. I looked up wiping my face. I was crying and I felt disgusting and I'm pretty sure I didn't look awesome either. I went to the basin and washed my face and brushed my teeth. "Did you have a bad dream?" he asked walking over to me when I had finished brushing my teeth.
I nodded and burst in to tears, he immediately pulled me in to a warm hug. I hadn't had that dream in a very long time. "Shh. It's ok Addie. I won't let any one hurt you." Cole whispered soothingly. "Come on. Come sleep in my bed. I'll keep you safe." He took my hand and pulled me through the bedroom and through the lounge and in to the bedroom where Jake was now sitting up.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Bad dream." Cole answered.
"Aw. Baby you want a hug?" he cooed. I shook my head no and crawled in to Cole's bed. If anyone else had been watching you'd think that I was scared of him. I put his arms out, expecting me to go to him but I just ignored him and crawled in to Cole's bed. I felt safe with Cole. "Addie?" Jake stood up with a concerned look on his face. I buried my head in to the pillow.
"Go to bed dude. She doesn't wanna talk." Cole instructed.
"What happened? It's like she's scared of me or something..." Jake trailed off. I heard his footsteps. He was leaving. Cole got in to the bed on his side. I sat up and went over to him and sobbed in to his chest.
Maybe I should explain. When I was younger, about eight or nine. Cole was 13 and had we had been left alone when my parents had gone out to dinner. Mom and dad said that because Cole was the eldest he was allowed to have a friend over. So Cole invited over his friend Zack. I was asleep in my room and presumed that Cole and Zack were asleep in Cole's room, I was wrong. Zack had snuck in to my room. He put a hand over my face and tried to ... well you know. I managed to wiggle my way out of his vice like grip and run out of my room screaming at the top of voice. Cole was there in seconds, while Zack made a run for it.
I had nightmares about that night and what Zack tried to do to me for two years and occasionally I'd have a random one if I was unsettled and obviously watching saw at two o'clock in the morning wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do now was is.
I sobbed in to Cole's chest until I fell asleep again. I was restless and I didn't sleep well, it was around nine thirty by the time I got up, and Cole was asleep. I was feeling hungry and decided I'd get up and have a shower and drag Cole and Jake out of bed for some luxury food. I tried to keep my mind off my dream.
I walked through the lounge, it was empty. Jake must have been in bed still. I snuck in to the bedroom and grabbed a pair of shorts and a clean tank top as well as a bra and undies. The usual but I got sprung. "Hey." He was sitting up in bed. He made me jump.
"Oh hi." I answered with a small smile. I hope he got some sleep. I'm not sure if he knew about what happened, and I was pretty sure I wasn't going to tell him. I can't even talk about this stuff with Cole.
"How're you feeling?" he asked.
"Better." I whispered.
"Wanna talk about it?"
"Uh ..." I gulped.
"You don't have to if you don't want to. I just wanna make sure you're okay." He smiled crawling to the end of the bed where I was standing.
"Um. I don't think I can tell you. But Cole might. It's hard for me to talk about. Go talk to him while I'm in the shower?" I questioned. He nodded.
"I missed falling asleep with you in my arms." He pouted. I stepped forward and kissed him lightly.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"It's ok. I just want you to be happy." He grinned.
I smiled and walked off in to the bathroom. I heard the door close, he must've gone to see Jake. Sigh.
