I found myself walking out of the room, silence and darkness filling the whole house. I'd woken up at four in the morning to Jason gone, and everything was so quiet. It made me worried and being the person I am, I wanted to check if everything was alright.

I was sweating, and it was only because I was petrified. The last time I had walked out these doors, I almost died. Biting my cheek, I started walking towards Jason's room in hopes that he would be there. The hallway was lit up by the windows where the moon was shining through, making my heart beat fast. The new fresh laid carpet felt soft against my feet. Nothing or no one was in Jason's room.

Footsteps then filled my ears and once again, I became nervous, stopping right in my tracks. It took me more than a few minutes to regain myself and starting moving through the house. Taking one more step forward, I heard something hit the ground and that got me. I turned around, ready to run back into my room so whoever was here wasn't going to find me, but instead I walked into a hard chest, their arms wrapping around me.

I screamed.

Closing my eyes, I started trying to break out his or whoever's arms, stupid whimpers escaping my mouth.

"Baby girl, it's me." A familiar voice filled my ears and I quickly relaxed to see Jason. His hair was messy and his dark brown eyes warmed my heart, making my world right again. Everything was okay when I was around him.

I quickly placed my head against his chest, running my arms around his waist. Fear still filled the inside of me as I fisted his shirt, taking deep breaths to remind myself that I got worked up for no reason. His hands ran through my hair, making me less tense.

"Sh, baby, it's okay." He spoke against my hair, his chin resting, his hand rubbing my back soothingly. I bit the inside of my cheek which was turning into a bad habit of mine. I couldn't stop it though and I realised this before pulling away.

"I just, I thought you were someone else." I replied, walking past him and I felt him follow. I felt slightly embarrassed. "Like the hulk or something."

He chuckled, but then sighed, stopping me by grabbing my arm, spinning me around to face him. His eyes met mine and I instantly felt the world feel right again.

"Ariana, I'm going to protect you and make sure no on lays a hand on you. I can promise you that. With me you're safe. Plus, I'm positive I look nothing like the hulk."

I already knew and felt that. Even if he was my kidnapper.
When I'm around you - that's the safest place in the world. This what I wanted to say but I would never allow myself too.

He ran a hand through his hair before picking me up in his arms, carrying me bridal style and my eyes widened as I felt his strong arms around me. This may have caused my heart to speed up by I ignored it. Confused at what he was doing, I could already feel the butterflies forming in my stomach.

"Jason, am I off the ground in your arms or am I going crazy?"

"The doctor said that you shouldn't be walking or stressing." He said, his eyes meeting mine. A small grin came to my face at how protective he was being. But it made me happy. He actually did care and I knew this now. I feared he had bipolar or something slightly similar, but right now, he was perfect.

"You know I can take care of myself, right?" I replied, grinning as he placed me down on the bed, where he crawled to the other side and simply lied down.
