Safe wings

Chapter 29:

Two days later:

I wake up in middle of the night and I'm cold. I look around. I forgot for a moment that I had been in a new room seperate from Luke. I look at the clock.

3:00 am. I slip from the bed and silently walk through the hall next door. I carefully touch Luke's door knob but it's locked. So I try a different entrance. I go back to my room and slip in the bathroom. Since our bathroom connects our rooms I close the door into my room and open the one into his.

I silently walk through the dark until I stub my toe.

"Gosh clean your room!" I whisper.

"Sorry I forgot." He says. I jump.

"I'm sorry I couldn't sleep." I say softly.

He chuckles quietly.

"Me neither" he says. I continue to walk towards his bed until I feel his hand reaching out for me. He grabs my arm and pulls me into the bed with him.

I snuggle into him and he wraps his arm around me.

"Night I love you." he whispers.

"Night" I say.

He sings softly in my ear and I instantly recognize the song.

"They smile that smile, they bat those eyes, they steal you with hello, they kill you with goodbye, they hook you with one touch and you can't break free, yeah the trouble with girls is nobody loves trouble as much as me." he sings the chorus again before kissing my head. I relax and quickly fall asleep in his arms.

I wake up screaming and clenching my cut wounds.

Instantly Luke darts awake and covers my mouth.

"Shhh, it's okay it's okay, what happened?" he asked.

I whimper softly before telling him about the reoccurring nightmares about his brother coming back.

He sits up and then pulls me up. He wraps both arms around me and kisses my jawline.

I snuggle into his arms and lay my head in the crook of his neck.

He quietly sings in my ear and I smile and pull myself so I'm facing him. I lay my forehead on his and smile before kissing him.

He hugs me to him when we pull apart. He buries his face in my hair as I lay my head on his chest.

"I love you." I say.

"I love you too." he whispers kissing my head.
