"Ari baby we need to talk" Mikey says walking into the room where Ariana was with her head into her books studying. "in a minute" she replies finishing her sentence and looking at him.
"come on" he holds out his hand for her. Ariana stands up and takes his hand following him to their bed where they both sat down. "can you please tell me about your nightmare baby" he asks placing a reassuring hand on her thigh.
"will you get angry or be mad" Ariana asks softly looking up to his eyes. "of course not baby girl" he pouts hating the fact at how scared and shy she was to tell him about her nightmare.
"Ella's dad keeps popping up in me head when i sleep" she sniffs. "oh princess" he pulls her into a hug. "i dont like it" Ariana pouts "ever since i saw him when Ella was hit all i see is him. Its like im being haunted by him" she sobs moving herself to sit on her fiancés lap and sob into his chest. Mikey rubs her back trying to keep her calm.
"he isnt going to ever hurt you again i promise" Mikey tells her "i know your going to keep me safe" she smiles into his chest. "im marrying you and i need you to tell me stuff okay. I dont want you to suffer alone" he kisses her head.
Ariana wraps her arms and legs around him. "i want some cuddles" she looks up to him. "we can do that" he smiles. "get changed beautiful" he smiles standing up and heading downstairs to switch everything off and ensure that the place was locked up.
He walks back up the stairs going to check on Ella smiling at her asleep cuddling her teddy bear and blanket she always spent with before he walked back to his own room where Ariana was already in bed waiting for him.
Mikey climbs in next to her and pulls her into a hug. "i love you" she smiles "i love you too" he smiles leaning down to kiss his lips. They both lie down and Ariana cuddles herself into him. "goodnight angel" he smiles "goodnight baby" she yawns.
