*daniels pov*
I woke up to hear loud breathing, very loud breathing, almost panting in fear.
I turned on the side lamp and looked to see McKenzie to be the cause of the noise. There she was, her hair mangled and messy as her forehead was coated in sweat.
She moaned in her sleep clearly frightened as I moved over to her.
I placed my hand on her head and slowly brushed it to calm her.
"Hey, McKenzie," I spoke softly, stroking her hair.
She shot up, pale as a sheet as she turned to me, it broke my heart to see her like this.
It really did.
"Hey beautiful, are you okay? What did you dream about," I said in a soft tone trying to calm her down again.
Her eyes dropped and became sad as I opened my arms for her to pour into them and hug me.
She sighed as she replied to my question, "Adam, I had a nightmare over what happened with Adam."
She spoke, and afterwards a cry echoed through the room as I stroked her back.
"Heyy, it's okay. It's okay McKenzie it's over now. It's never going to happen again okay. I love you," I spoke trying to calm her down. Slowly she did and her breathing rate decreased as she replied.
"I love you so much dani."
My heart shouldn't of leaped at this moment in time, but of course it did.

I was driving in the car, after just dropping Olivia off for school.
Beside me was mckenzie and in the back seat was jonah.
As we pulled up to the apartment block I felt the mood change and become scared and weary. McKenzie was the last one to get out the car, as I locked it.
"It will be okay," I spoke to her as us three walked up to her apartment.
She placed the key in the lock and opened it, inside in the day light you could see how bad the apartment itself really was.
The stained carpet was brown with age, the wallpaper that was a century out of style peeled and the furniture rotted away.
She sighed as she grabbed a bag from a small cupboard, walking into her room.
It was tiny, absolutely tiny. I turned to Jonah and his facial expression also had a sad shocked face on it.
"I know it's awful here... I couldn't stay with my mom after I told her I was pregnant. She kicked me out and I had nothing. So, I had to move here..."
She sighed opening up her closet, inside being a handful of clothes. Oh wow-
"At least your out of here for good now, it will get better," Jonah spoke and i nodded.
She pulled the clothes off the hanger and stuffed them in the bag.
By the time of 9:45 all her belongings were in 5 bags. 5 small bags, this included olivias things too.
She frowned, walking out the door and closing it behind her. We walked down the corridor and down a flight of stairs till she suddenly paused.
I followed where her eyes led to and there, stood next to a small evil looking man, was Adam...
