Life with the Griers

Chapter 4

*Tiana P.O.V.*

It was getting pretty late so Nash Hayes and Will left. So it was just me Cameron Gilinsky Taylor and Matt watching tv we were watching the Big Bang theory right as it was going off Matt Cameron Taylor and Jack headed off to bed. It was just me and carter we were sitting on the couch watch a Big Bang theory marathon on tv. We were having a good time laughing then Carter looked at the time and said "I think we should get some sleep" so with that being said we turned off the tv. As we got up stairs Carter walked over to his door and I walked to mine

"Goodnight princess"

"Night"

But I just stood there I couldn't get the courage to walk into my room. Carter had walked into his room but he must have saw I was still in the hallway

"Hey you can't do it can you" he asked putting his hand on my shoulder

I just shook my head and a tear slide down my cheek

"Hey just come sleep in my room until you feel you can go in there again ok"

"Thank you carter"

"Come on let's get you something to sleep in"

He open the door to my room and turned on the light and I hesitated but slowly walked into the room over to my dresser and got some shorts and a tank top.

"Now let go get some sleep" Carter said after I changed

We walk into his room and get into the bed. We sleep and I started to have a really bad nightmare about Nick and I was trying to wake myself up but it felt like I couldn't I guess I was moving and breathing heavy because carter woke me up and I almost screamed but he said "hey it's just me relax"

"I was having a bad dream"

"I can tell you're sweating it must have been bad"

"It was"

"Hey I'm hear its ok let go back to sleep"

I nodded and carter pulled me into his chest holding me tight I felt so safe in Carter's arms. I finally fell back to sleep listening to Carter's heart beat and his breathing pattern it was very relaxing. As I was drifting off I thought to myself 'how did I get so lucky to have a cousin like carter'.

*Carter's P.O.V.*

After everything that has happened in just two days I feel exhausted. While I was sleeping I heard Tiana whimpering and she was tossing and turning in her sleep. So I lightly shake her to wake her up when she wakes up she jumps it looked like she almost screamed so I said "hey relax it just me"

"I was having a bad dream"

"I can tell you're sweating it must have been bad"

"It was"

"Hey I'm hear its ok let go back to sleep"

She nodded and I pull her into my chest holding her tight. I just know that I have to stay strong for her it just so d@mn hard. I look down at her as the moonlight from the window hits her face she is drifting back to sleep it looks like she in deep thought as she falls back to sleep I wonder what about. I soon fall back to sleep myself. I heard a noise it woke me up Tiana was still laying on my chest so I gently slide out of the bed so I don't wake her. I hear the noises again its coming from down stairs. I quietly walk downstairs to see what it was I turn the corner to the kitchen and I see Cameron.

"D@mn it man you scared the crap out of me making all that noise" I whisper shout to Cameron

"Sorry dude I got thirsty"
