Does anything seem confusing to you? Is everything still going by to fast? Anyway, enjoy chapter 7.

Chapter 7
We headed back to our suite.

When we got there I got a hot shower. Joe was right though. I shouldn't be scared. It was just water. I couldn't help but wonder. It must be hard for him to stay so confident and brave when he lost his father and his best friend Shadow. It was my turn.

I got dressed and went to the livingroom to find dinner had arrived. We ate without a word. Joe broke the silence.

"It's getting late. We should probably go to bed."

"Okay," I answered back to him.

It was my turn to sleep on the air mattress, so Joe slept on the bed. He turned the lights off and I fell asleep.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Screaming and moaning woke me up from my slumber. I sprang to my feet to see Joe holding a pillow to his face, just screaming in it, and kicking and thrashing at the sheets. I ran over to him and yelled his name.

"Joe! Joe! Wake up Joe! It's okay! Joe wake up!"

I tried not to yell so loud because I didn't want people to call and complain saying they couldn't sleep or maybe someone was hurt.

It seemed like he was dreaming. I tried shaking him a little on the shoulder. He just kept kicking the sheets and screaming in his pillow. I put both of my hands on his cheeks and yelled his name again.

"Joe!"

That time he lay still. Hits eyes slowly opening. He looked at me with his handsome but scared brown eyes. I looked at him just the same. Without warning he grabbed me and squeezed me tight, one arm around my waist, the other around my back, his head in my shoulder. I slowly realized it was a hug, and hugged him back putting my head in his shoulder. I squeezed him tight, never wanting to let go. I wanted to know he was okay. He then lifted his head and I did the same to meet hits eyes. He slid both of his hands to my waist. My arms were still around his neck.

"I'm sorry" he said in a half panicked voice also seeming as if he could break down and cry.

"For what, Joe? For what?" I asked him trying my best to keep calm.

"I freaked you out, but it was just a dream," he said starting to calm down, "A very bad dream, and I didn't mean to wake you, I didn't even know I was being loud-"

His voice started to trail off but he stayed calm and looked down. I came close to his ear, my cheek touching his, and whispered "You have nothing to be sorry for. You had a nightmare. I'm not leaving you side. Ever. As long as you need me, I'm here. I'm staying with you."

I was surprised in myself for keeping my voice stern, strong, and smooth. He layed down on his side facing the inside of the bed. I climbed over him and got under the covers. With my head against his chest and feet pulled tight to my body, he cradled me in his arms.

"I'm sorry I scared you, jewls." he told me.

"It's okay. Just don't ever do it to me again." I said smiling over to him.

"I promise."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When the alarm went off, telling us to wake up, I didn't want to get up. I was comfortable in Joe's arms. I could tell he didn't want to let go. He did though to turn the alarm off. I turned to face him, almost nose to nose. Again I got lost in his beautiful brown eyes. The was something about them that was so alluring. He let out out a small breath of a laugh.

"What?" I said almost blushing.

"Nothing, your just beautiful," as he said this I felt my face warm up. "Your perfect nose, your heavenly smile, and your beautiful luring eyes. Each time I look into your eyes, I get lost." I didn't know what to say. I sighed silently and looked at the clock, then back to him. "It's too bad we have to work today. I could lay right here and get lost in your eyes all day if I could." I felt the same way even though I didn't say anything. We finally got up and got ready.

Mr.Baily had sent us breakfast and uniforms for your first day. Why is Mr. Bailybeing so nice? I asked myself. We only just met him and yet he's given us so much. A suit for not allot of money, jobs, breakfast. What next? I couldn't help but think this as i got ready in the bathroom. He guessed right on our sizes, although my shoes were a little big, I have small feet, and Joe's uniform was perfect. Great I told myself, now if only we can get through the day. Mr.Baily sent two people to help us throughout the day. My helper's name was Shelby, she was very nice and maybe twenty years old, and Joe's helper's name was Max, he was also nice and early twenties as well. Apparently Shelby and Max had a thing for each other. Joe and I faced each other outside the door to our suit.

"I'll see you later" he said.

"See you later" I said back.

And with that we kissed each other goodbye for the day and went off to do our business.

I still think my chapters are too short. What do you think? Vote and comment please! :)
