connors pov
y/n is spending the night tonight. we've spent multiple nights together this past month partly because her family is having some issues right now and y/ns mom and my family have come to the agreement that y/n can enjoy herself in a stress free space every once and a while. my mom has been very against y/n and i sharing a bed together for a while but this week, she's not walking in every hour on the dot to make sure we aren't doing something we shouldn't be. yes it sounds annoying but that's my mom. y/n is my 2nd girlfriend i've ever had and my mom doesn't want me getting hurt again and i understand that.
"are you ready for bed?" i ask putting a shirt on and climbing in bed with y/n
"yeah can you turn off the light?" she asks
"yeah baby" i say clicking the light off
"goodnight handsome" she says kissing me
"goodnight beautiful. sweet dreams" i say combing my fingers through her hair as her head is on my chest as we drift off to sleep.
"mmm....no....noo...stop please" i wake up to y/n shifting aggressively in her sleep
"baby wake up" i say lightly shaking her
"stop....no....connor help" she says kicking her legs
"baby please wake up" i say shaking her harder
"no...connor!" she cries and i see a tear fall and it breaks my heart
"sweetheart wake up" i say holding her sweaty hand and squeeze it
i hear her gasp and sit up
"hey babygirl" i say still holding her hand and sit up with her
"c-connor" she says putting her face in her hands
"i'm right here" i say kissing her cheek
"oh god" she sobs and i hug her while she breathes heavily and cries
i hear a knock on the door
"is everything alr-" i see my mom peak her head in. i look at her and i give her a thumbs up and shoo her away
"it was so real" she cries
"what was?" i ask rubbing her back. she's hyperventilating
"breathe shhhh" i say and grab a hair tie to put her hair into a back messy bun
"m-my dad-d was yel-ling and took me away f-from you" she stutters and digs her head deeper in my chest
"it was just a dream sweetheart i'm still here next to you" i reassure her
"sorry i woke you u-up" she says. i take the bottom of my shirt and reach up to wipe her tears
"you're perfectly fine y/n let it all out" i say kissing her forehead. seeing her cry makes me want to cry so bad. i look up at the ceiling to try and be strong and i succeed.
"i love you baby" i say
"i l-love you" she says still breathing rapidly. i heard somewhere that kissing someone slows their breathing so i kiss her
"i got you" i say. she digs her head into the crook of my neck. and she soon calms down
"thank you" she says softly because her voice got strained
"shh lets get you some water" i say holding out my hand and she takes it. we walk downstairs and i lift her up to sit on the counter.
"oh god i'm sorry it's 2" she apologized after seeing the time on the microwave
"you're fine" i say handing her a glass of water. we sit there in silence as my body is in between her legs as she lays her head on my shoulder. i take her hand and kiss it
"let's get you back to bed" i say picking her up so that her legs are wrapped around my backside and her arms are around my neck. we climb up the stairs and i lay her back on the bed
"i won't be able to sleep" she says
"what can we do to change that?" i ask
"can you hum? i like listening to your voice" she says and i chuckle
"really? that's random. if that's what will help you then i'll do anything" i say as she lays in between my legs but on top of my chest. i hum a little more by alessia cara because that's y/ns favorite song. i eventually hear her soft snores and choose to try to sleep but i text my mom first
