WYSLM?/ Chapter 9

WYSLM/ Chapter 9

I sigh and sit down on the couch. Niall sits next to me, putting an arm around my shoulder. I lean into him, getting comfy.

"That was crazy." says Niall, with a deep sigh.

"Yep, putting 9 drunk people to sleep tends to do that to you." We laugh quietly and sit there.

"Hey Ruby?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you feel it?" He whispers quietly.

"Yes. Very much so." I turn up to look at him and find him smiling grandly.

"Good. I did to. And it felt great." I smile back and pinch his cheek.

"I love your smile. It brights up a room." he yawns and wraps me In a hug. I lean into him and face the ceiling, feeling my eyes close.

"Night Niall."

"Night Ruby. And for the record, I like everything about you." I might not have heard him right, but I fell asleep to fast to dwell on it.

Dark lit rooms, a musty smell. A man stands in the background, laughing madly. The sounds of chains rattling, the smell of chloroform. I hear the dogs barking, see their rabid teeth. I feel the sting of their bite in my side, and I scream. More manic laughter.

I see his horrid face as he says "It's not over yet, my dear! I'll get your family and friends, and finally you!"

"Ruby! Ruby, wake up!" I jerk awake and see Nialls worried face.

"Whats wrong?! You were screaming in your sleep!" I look around, seeing myself in my bed.

"How did I get here?"

"I carried you up here so you'd be comfy. . Now tell me, what's wrong?" I look into his eyes and decide if I should tell him. I've known him for a 3 months now, and I think I can trust him. No, I know I can trust him. I tear up and bury my face into his shoulder. He sits on the bed and pulls me into his lap, stroking my hair.

"Shh, it's okay. I'm here. It's okay." I sit there and cry for a while. After I'm done, he lays me down on the bed and pulls the covers up. He starts to leave, but I grab his hand.

"Please. Please don't leave. I won't fall asleep anyway. I never do after that nightmare." He nods his head and goes around the bed, spooning me. I lean into his bare chest, and he puts his arms around me.

"Do you always have nightmares?" I nod my head, snuggling closer.

"And you never go to sleep?"

I shake my head.

"How do you function?"

"I've learned over the past few years."

" You've been having these for years? Why?"

"That's for another time, Niall." He groans, and I can feel the vibrations. I smile and feel better.

"Do that again, that felt weird." He laughs, and I feel the vibrations again. I let out a small laugh, and stop, shell shocked. He strokes my hair gently, from the roots to the tips.

"Whats wrong?"

"Ive never felt happy after a nightmare. Thank you Niall." he squezes me and smiles.

"Anytime." he starts to hum a beautiful song, and I feel my eyes starting to close.

"What's that song?" I ask, yawning.

"Your song." I fall asleep, feeling completely safe and happy for the first time in a long time.
