Bambi's POV

"Sweetie...sweetheart...honey..."

Mom?

"Mom? Is that you?"

"Where are you, mom??"

"It's dark and hot here, where am I? Mom!?"

"...run"

"MOMMY? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE??"

"GET OUT OF THE HOUSE AND RUN NOW!"

And with that, the flames hid her from my vision.

"MOM!"

I woke up with a sweat. I could barely breathe. I saw her again. I saw her. I thought I was done with it. I thought I was done seeing her. Why is it happening again?

No no no not again no! "Namjoon!" I sobbed.

Namjoon rushes into my room, his face alert and panicking, " I heard you screaming, what's wrong?"

"It's happening again! I saw her again! I-I-" I start hyperventilating again. Namjoon panics and rushes to my side.

"No no no, Bambi breathe. Breathe for me. In and out. Slowly, princess. Breathe."

I eventually calmed down and stopped crying. Namjoon and I stayed in the bed while he held me close. He always knew how to calm me down. He's the only one that can calm me down. The only one I trust.

" Are you ready to talk now?"

"Yeah."

"What happened? Tell me everything"

I told him what I heard and saw. I told him about what she said and how she looked. How the flames took over her body and burned her.

"I saw her face again, just like before. But this time, it was worse. She looked worse. Her..." I hesitated.

"It's okay. You can tell me" he whispered.

"Her face was...falling off. It was gone before I could blink. Then, the rest of her body was gone. It was just flames. That's when I woke up."

"I'm sorry, Bambi, you know I am."

"Yeah, but why is it happening again? This hasn't happened since I was adopted. That was years ago, I'm 14 for christ sakes! I thought it went away. It makes no sense!"

"Sweetheart, you were five and witnessed your mom die. Of course, you're traumatized. And I'm not sure why it's back. We can figure that out together."

He sighs, "I know you probably don't want to hear this but, maybe you should consider going back to-"

"No. Nope, not happening. You know I don't trust anyone but you. What makes you think I'm going to trust some bitch that knows nothing about me? You know what happened last time!"

"Hey! Language!"

"Sorry. It's just...I don't trust strangers. It took forever for me to trust you guys. You know I have a fear of letting people in. I can't just be vulnerable to a stranger and tell them every little detail of my life and why I'm so fucke- ahh, messed up. Sorry, that was the last time."

"I understand. I'll let it slide, this time. But I know. I know the last therapist pushed and triggered you and didn't look out for your well being. Even if you decide not to go back, you always have me. I'll never leave or betray you."

"I know. I'll always have you" I yawned. "But for now, let's sleep." I lay down and Namjoon looks at me. "Do you want me to stay or are you too old to sleep with your brother?"

"Can you stay? Just in case it happens again?"

"Of course. I won't leave you. I'll stay."

He lied down next to me and held me to make sure I didn't feel alone. And with that, I got the best sleep of my life without any unwanted interruptions.
