You're Only Ever Who You Were

In The Night

Nora woke up gasping for air and drenched in sweat from another night terror. She usually gets night terrors at least once a week and has been ever since she watched her own father die.

 As Nora replayed the terror in her head again she tried to slow her heart rate down but her breathing only got more erratic and the fear stared to paralzyse her. She imadealty sat up in bed pulling back the duvet and throwing her shoes on haslty then heading out the window to fall asleep in the protective arms of her best friend.Patch Cipriano. 

                                                           ==========================

Patch woke up with a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach; the feeling he gets everytime he feels Nora is sacred or in danger. He sat up in bed and checked his window to make sure it was unlocked and to make sure his door was locked so his adopted father, Rixon dosent come in and suspect anything. 

After everything is ready he sees Nora climbing in the tree-that sperates their houses-and into his window. Patch notices her tear strecked and flushed face by the light of the moon so he pulls her into his arms and helps his angel into bed. 

Patch and Nora have know each since he was about four and she was two years old. they became best frineds almost instantly, in fact not a day goes by when they dont see each other and Nora often has to stay with Patch too get away from her internal demons or her step father, Hank Miller.  

Nora wiped the tears from her eyes as she and Patch tucked themselves under his black, silk sheets-her favorite material in the world. 

When Nora was finally settled down in his bed he pulled the sheet and duvet over both their bodies. Patch still knew she was shaken from the night terror-as she so often is-so he tugged her gently into his arms where she immediatly relaxed and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.  

                                                   ===========================

Patch loved the feeling of his angel sleeping in his arms. It was like he could finally relax knowing nothing was going to come and hurt her and with that thought he falls asleep with his best friend curled into the cradle of his body.
