Help me? No one's ever helped me before, is this a joke?
But his voice sounded familiar, like the voice from my dream.
"You helped me b-before?" I asked looking down.
He wiped my sweaty stomach "yeah, you were up?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows.
I shook my head "y-you're voice."
I've never talked this much around someone but he's making me feel oddly comfortable. I don't feel broken while he's holding me, that's a weird feeling for someone you don't know.
What if I'm thinking too much into it and he's sent here to hurt me like everyone else? I can't let that happen.
"Well, I'll go" he said swiftly moving from under me.
I argued with myself for a little while before going with my heart.
"Can you stay?" I asked looking up at him.
He froze at the door, looking as if he was thinking.
"Please, you make them go away" I spoke lowly, looking at my hands.
He nodded and came and sat beside me. I laid oddly close to him so I could feel his warmth, he probably thinks I'm weird but I don't care as long as he keeps the nightmares away.
I felt his fingers slither around my waist making me jump really hard. I watched his hand snake around me while got this tingly feeling in my chest.
I didn't know if I could trust him, what if he hurt me in my sleep?
I gulped and looked up at him, scared.
"What are they about?" He asked.
I shook my head and covered my face.
He uncovered it and looked down at me "you can tell me, I promise I won't tell anybody."
He looked as if I could trust him so I sighed beginning to answer his questions.
"M-My mom-" I hiccuped covering my face again and shaking my head.
"I can't I've never told anyone" I cried.
He moved my hands again, wiping my tears.
"You can trust me" he assured me.
"She used to s-sell my b-body" I explained wanting to hide my face again but he held my hands.
"Where is she?" He asked looking down at me.
I shook my head again "please, just let me go to sleep."
He sighed and nodded. I held on to his torso, slowly closing my eyes.
Update
