It has been a week since the city gathering, and let me say I am very exhausted from training early in the morning and nannying during the day. It's hard to sleep in the same bed with someone you do not love or know, lets not forget the fact that you are awoken by a baby and he has hardly a blanket on the bed. So I'm always freezing during the night, but I don't wanna make him upset.

This morning I woke up warmer than usual, we were snuggling, more like he was spooning me, clinging onto me tight, my guess is he was having a bad nightmare. His breath was faster than normal, his eyes are slightly clenched, I wonder what the dream is about. I try to pull away but he mumbles "don't leave me". I wonder what happened to Bree's mom even more... it must be what he is dreaming about.

Checking the time, I start to freak out cause if we don't get up right now, we will be late for training.

"Morgan.. Get up. We are gonna be late" I lightly shake him, he doesn't budge. Ugh. "MORG." I say a little louder, he loosens his grip.. At least I can breathe.

Hopping out of bed, I walk over to the closet. Changing out of my pajamas and into a white sports bra and Nike shorts, then heading to the bathroom to put my hair in a tight high ponytail. And ouch did that hurt.

Heading downstairs and outside to start, there are other people there for training but nobody talks to me. We start off by running a mile and a half, after that we usually stretch. But today was different.

A very red and angry Morg came out, in just a pair of shorts. Uh oh... he is probably like this cuz I let him sleep in. I should start running.

"ADORE MAE GIDEON! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" He comes storming toward me.

I break into a sprint, trying not to be caught. But I know sooner or later that he will catch up. He just realized that I was running away from him?! So now he is sprinting toward me... GAHHH! I swear if he tackles me I will scream bloody murder, cuz he has a bigger body than me.

He has caught up to be, grabbing my wrist making me come to a stop.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" He is inches from my face, the feeling of his warm breath is nice, I smell beer on his breath. He must've been drinking before he fell asleep.

"Y-you were having a nightmare and I didn't wanna wake up Bree. But I tried, and I wasn't sure how you were going to react when I awoken you. Plus I was s-struggling to get out of your arms... you were clinging onto me." I whisper being sure no one else would hear.

"You could tell I was having a nightmare?" He questions me. He seems so surprised.

I'm quick to nod, he gestures for him and I to go inside. He wants me to skip training today. Is he feeling well today? As we walk back in the house everyone else watches me walk. Like who in the world watches a person walk to a door, like yeah I get it's weird that he is pulling me out of training, but I'm not gonna stop him.

"So ah... why did you pull me out of training?" I fold my arms.

"Because, you have better use now, plus I think you know how to protect you and Bree." He sits down on the couch.

"I know you don't like the idea of me going to school, but could you give it a second thought? Please?" I do a puppy eyes face.

"Fine, but you have to take Bree, and I'll be going with you." Is he serious?

"Deal." I stick out my hand, he firmly shakes it.

"Plus then I can technically graduate, I dropped out" wow that was the first time he opened up about his past. "So I should go enroll us... you.. ah wanna help me?"
