my eyes open wide and i sit up in bed. my sweatshirt sticks to my skin because of the sweat i pull the blankets off of my breathing heavy. tears burn my eyes threatening to fall. i can hear ethan's small snores from next to me. as much as i don't want to wake him up i can't fall asleep without him.
"ethan." i say, my breath is shallow and my voice cracks.
"ethan." i say again putting my hand on his arm. he stirs a little bit and turns towards me.
"what's wrong peanut." he asks in his raspy voice that i love so much.
"i had a bad dream." i say quietly. tears down on my eyes. ethan sits up and pulls me into his lap. he holds me as i cry into his shoulder. he slowly rocks me and whispers sweet nothings in my ear.
"you want to talk about it?" he asks rubbing my back.
"no." i say choking back my tears. i didn't want to have to relive it. i mean it wasn't that bad of a dream to anyone else but to me it was horrible. i thought ethan was going to leave me. that had always been my biggest fear. he is one of the only people in this world that can keep me sane.
"wanna watch a movie princess." he lays me down with me in his chest. he turns la la land on netflix (ik it's not on netflix lol) my eyelids start to get heavy and i begin to fall asleep in his arms.
"promise me you will never ever leave me." i say half asleep.
"i promise." he places a gentle kiss on my forehead.
"i love you babygirl." he whispers.
"i love you more." he gives me another kiss and i fall into a peaceful sleep.
