I was met with his front door. I knocked on it, hoping he would answer. I was slightly disappointed too see a boy with glasses stand in front of me. "Hey Laila." He gave a soft smile. "Hey Brandon."
He moved out of the doorway so I could come in and closed the door behind me. I spotted nick on the couch watching Austin play fortnite. He turned around and got off the couch. "Laila." He said with a smile, walking in my direction.
"I'm nervous." I said quietly. "You'll be fine. He's in his room. Get in there tiger." He squeezed my shoulders. I nodded my head and started my way over to Zion's room.
I soon stood outside his closed door. I took a deep breathe in. I turned back to Nick. "Just go in." He mouthed. I listened and cracked open the door.
His head shot towards the door. "Laila." My eyes widened. My breathe shortened. I felt my feet go numb. There she was again. This time on top of a half naked Zion.
No words managed to come out of my mouth. I was in complete shock. I felt as if I was paralyzed. Sammi turned slowly. She grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around her body.
"Oh Laila. I didn't know you were going to be here. I'm so sorry you had to find out this way." She said all this with a wide smirk as she strutted towards me.
All she felt was victory. It was like she had won trophy. He wasn't anything to her but a number to her body count.
"C-" I couldn't even form a sentence. "Laila I can explain." He stood up off the bed. I stormed out of his room. My eyes were flooded with hot tears. Nick came running towards me. "What happened?!" He held me reassuringly.
"He-" I broke down in tears. My body slumped to the floor. I was sobbing loudly. "Laila I'm sorry." Zion came running out of his bedroom.
That reassuring feeling was gone in a instinct. "Yo you hit Sammi. My son." Nick patted Zion on the back. Austin and Brandon wandered into the congratulating. Before you knew it 4/5 boys were chanting his name.
I sat on the floor devastated. I felt so alone. No one was there to comfort me. "Aw look how pathetic." Sammi sat next to me.
"Say one more thing I swear to god." I muffled into my shirt. "He never really liked you to begin with. It was just one big game in the end. And guess who won, me." She laughed historically in my face.
I threw her to the ground. I through punches left and right, not being able to stop. I kept going and going. My knuckles turned a dark red. I looked beneath me to see Sammi gone. There was nothing but a floor beneath me. I stared at my bloody knuckles.
I looked up slightly, I saw white air forces approach me. I scanned his body all the way up to his face. He gave me a blank stare. I jumped up and beat his chest. "How could you do this! I thought you loved me! You asshole! You never deserved my love! You're not shit Caleb! You're a dick just like everyone else! Go to hell!" I started kicking and screaming.
Edwin unhatched me from Z. I pushed Edwin off of me. I stomped back up to Zion. "Fuck you." I shoved me hard.
"I never loved you." His words rang through my ears. I turned around to be met with a punch from Sammi. Everything went pitch black. A loud dinging played in my head.
_
My body shot up with cold sweats. I was heavily panting. My body shook vigorously. With my rude awakening came another. Zion pulled me into his arms immediately. "Shh you're fine. I'm here. She isn't. Im here to protect you. I would never, ever hurt you. It was only a dream. Everything is ok. Just relax. Breathe."
My breathing was on the path off becoming steady. I took in my surroundings. It was just the same recurring nightmare. "Th- Thank you." I hugged him tightly.
"You're fine babygirl. I'll sing you to sleep if you're having trouble." He laid down softly with me in his arms. I shook my head. "I hate these fucking nightmares." I mumbled into his chest.
"I know ma. But you're okay now. I've got you. Forever. I will never leave your side. I'm yours and you're mine. Remember that cuz I will not move from this very bed til you feel better." He rubbed my back, kissing my forehead.
"I love you Caleb." I looked up at him, staring into his dreamy dark eyes.
He looked down at me. His eyes shimmered. He smiled gently and pecked my lips twice. He brushed a strand of hair from my face and stared again. He admired every inch of my appearance.
"I love you to the moon and back, Laila."
THE END
