Mark's Pov
It was a stormy night, perfect for some horror games. After a couple hours of recording, I turned the computer off and got ready for bed. I looked around the house to find Amy but I couldn't find her. On my second time around the house, I found her laying on the couch under a lot of blankets.
"Amy, babe, come on, let's go to bed," I said shaking her a little.
She mumbled something in her sleep then rolled back over.
"Baby girl." I leaned over and to pick her up, as soon as my hands touched her she flipped out.
"NO PLEASE. I am sorry I will not do it again!"
I lifted my hands into the air as I jumped back, she was still sleeping. I slowly placed my arms around her again.
"I promise, I'll clean it up, please don't." She was crying in her sleep.
It makes sense now, she is having a nightmare of her last boyfriend.
"Amy, you are safe. No one is going to hurt you." I said softly in her ear.
"I didn't mean to drop it, I'm sorry."
I know I'm not supposed to wake her up but she is shaking in her sleep. I picked her up and started to rock her.
"Baby, wake up. It's just a bad dream."
Her fist her clenched shut and she went to protect her face. I swear if I ever meet this asshole I am making him feel every ounce of pain he put her through.
I laid her back on the couch and called Tyler.
"Everything okay?" He asked half asleep.
"No, Amy is in a deep ass nightmare of her ex and she is not waking up."
"The storm probably triggered it."
"She is shaking, and begging not to be hit. She keeps saying that she is sorry."
"Dude, you are going to have to let her wake up on her own."
"There has to be a way to wake her up, she is crying in her sleep."
"I wish there was but you can make it worst. She will wake up soon."
"I am not leaving her."
"Text me when she wakes up."
We ended the call, I sat on the floor next to her. I went to hold her hand but she jumped and started to freak again.
"Baby, no one is going to hurt you. I will not let them, please wake up."
Chica walked over to us and laid on the floor next to me. The storm got worst but Chica stayed with us.
"Please, I didn't mean it." She pleaded.
I grabbed my phone and looked this asshole up, there were a couple articles about him. He has a history of abusing his girlfriends, but I already read that one. There is a new one that is only 4 days old. I read the article and felt my stomach turn.
On a stormy night, he went and tried to kill his current girlfriend.
That is what caused her nightmare, she read the article and put herself in the girl's place. I put the phone on the coffee table and played with her hair, there has to be some way I can let her know she is okay in this nightmare.
I got real close to her ear and said,
"Everything is okay, please wake up."
It didn't work, I reached for her hand again but she pulled back shaking. I ran up the steps and got my laptop. I put it on the coffee table and started to play her favorite songs. Maybe they will wake her up. After about 10 minutes of her playlist playing, she was still in the nightmare. I was able to close the laptop when I got an idea. I looked up the song that was playing when we first met, she always talks about how that song is so important to her.
After a few lines played she started to twitch in her sleep,
"Amy, wake up," I said softly. "It's all a bad dream."
As the song kept playing her eyes twitched more and more, once the song ended she sat up gasping for air.
"Everything is okay," I said watching her.
She looked around the room still breathing heavy, Once she saw me her eyes grew wide.
"Bad dream? None of it was real?" She was in tears.
"All a bad dream honey."
She jumped off of the couch right into my arms,
"No one is going to hurt you ever again," I said playing with her hair.
"It could have been me."
"I know and it is not you," I kissed the top of her head.
"He was mad because he got caught in the rain, she didn't know he was on his way over so she didn't have a towel waiting for him."
"Has he done that to you?"
She nodded her head yes.
"Never again, you are free from him."
"Thank you, thank you for not being like him. He is a monster." She was in full tears. I carried her into the kitchen and placed her on the counter and grabbed a towel to wipe her face. I got her a glass of water.
"You are too kind to me." She said taking a sip.
"No, this is how you are to treat one another. You take care of people you love."
"Can we have a lazy day tomorrow?"
"Of course."
I carried her up the steps and placed her into my bed, I got my phone and texted Tyler letting him know she is okay. When I climbed into bed she latched onto me burying her face into my chest.
"Forever and always will I love and protect you," I said as she drifted off to sleep.

I don't mean any hate to any of Amy's ex's, I don't know anything about them. I just needed to vent a little from a bad dream I had from one of my ex's. So instead of writing a long boring paragraph, I wrote it in a story form. I know that is a little weird but it helps me.
