nightmares

Joven's pov

The doctor finally came in and discharged me. When I walked out into the lobby I saw wes waiting for me. I turn to EJ "hey since its like really late and your car is at the bar. Do you want to come stay the night at our house and I will drive you to your car in the morning. I would understand if its too much to ask. We haven't exactly known each other for very long"

He smiles and agrees "yes I will"
My heart flutters at his answer. We walk out into the front of the hospital and Wes pulls the car around to us. We get in and go back to the house.

The three of us pile into the medium sized house. Wes asked "I'm going to bed. Do you need anything before I do"

I shake my head "no but thank you Wes. You're a good friend"

He hugs me and goes to bed. I lead EJ to my bedroom "the couch is uncomfortable so you can sleep with me in my bed if you're ok with that"

He pauses for a moment. Then he responds puzzled "are you sure you're ok with sharing a bed"

I give him a small smile "yeah besides if I'm being honest you make me feel safe. You were there for me tonight. Yeah we won't have sex. But you make me Feel safe"

He grabs my hand and we walk into my room. He snuggles up against me in my bed. He has muscles and they feel good wrapped around me. Soon he falls asleep and I follow suit....

I'm now back in the alley. The guys that attacked me are coming towards me again. I tense in fear. The one with the rough voice grabs me. I start shaking. I try and fight him off but his crew holds me down. Im screaming at this point

I am woken up by the nightmare. EJ looks at me while holding his eye. Wes comes runing into the room with a bat. I am able to calm down from the nightmare I just had.

Wes says "what's wrong ?"

EJ responds seeing that I'm still shaking "I think he had a nightmare. He was talking in his sleep. I tried to wake him up but-"

I cut him off "I did that ? I am so sorry. I can't believe I punched you in the eye"

He smiles sheepishly "it's ok. I had nightmares like that all the way up until I turned 24. One time I punched my brother so hard that I dislocated his jaw"

I feel like I want to ask why he had nightmares but it's probably none of my business and I dont want to make him uncomfortable.

Sensing my curiosity he explains "it's ok. I was being beaten every day up until I moved out the house"

Oh my gosh who would want to hurt an angel like him "that's awful. How did you get rid of the nightmares ?"

He responds while grabing my hand gently and held it "I found out that the man who did it, had finally passed away. And I felt free"

I pull him closer to me and kiss him. Seeing that I suprised him a little I pull away "I'm sorry I can see that weirded you out"

He returned the kiss and it suprised me but I kissed back. We pull apart and he said while smirking "its ok I liked it"

Wes gets uncomfortable and speaks out "ok well since it 8 am anyways I am going to go get ready for work. Anthony said you could have the week off"

I shake my head "no honestly I think I'll be ok. Besides it will help being around all of my friends"

Wes nods and leaves the room. EJ said "well I was wondering maybe tomorrow if you wanted to go on a date ?"

I look into his brown beautiful eyes "yes I would love to"....
