Crossing Paths *ON HOLD*

Chapter 28: Nightmares

BRITTNEY POV

---------------------

Liam and I lay breathless on our bed. "I think that this time was the best." I smile through breaths. "I love it here." Liam gasps. "I do too." I answer. Liam pulls the blanket over our bare bodies. The automatic fire turns on and illuminates the room. I cuddle into Liam as the room brightens. "I'm gonna have the best month with you." Liam smiles. "I know. I love you and this cabin." I grin. Liam kisses my head and nose. "Brittney, I have to go on tour after this month." Liam sighs. "What? But we wont have a lot of time anymore. We won't see each other as often. Will you come home for the holidays?" I say nearly breaking into tears. "Babe, it's all okay. I kinda wanted to know if you'd wanna come with me and bring Talia. "I don't know." I say. "Let me sleep and I'll see if I wanna go." I answer. I turn over with my back facing Liam. He starts tracing shapes on my back.

Do I really want to do this with Liam? Travel America and leave things behind for I don't know how many months? I'll get to live my dream of being a traveler. I turn over to Liam. His eyes are closed and his breathing becomes slow. I scoot closer to him, close enough to feel his heat from our session we had. I peck his lips with no hesitation "I would love to go." I whisper. Liam's mouth flies open and a giant smile is on his face. "You will?!" Liam says excitedly. I open my eyes and nod. His lips press against mine. "I love you!" Liam says with a giant grin. "I love you, I love you, I love you!" Liam says while tackling me in a hug. " Okay, let's go to bed. We only have a month until you spend most of your time on stage." I smile. Liam nods. He lays back into the position we always share. His arm wrapped around me and me snuggling into him.

I shut my eyes as Liam kisses my head. "Goodnight love." Liam wishes me. I fall into the dark of my dreams.

"Aaron please go." I cry. Aaron walks closer to me step by step I get more horrified. "Liam's not here now isn't he?" Aaron laughs. "Please leave me alone!" I cry. Aaron walks up to me and slaps me. "You're done." Aaron grins. He points the gun up to my forehead.

My eyes open and I feel sweat beads on my head. It takes a while to notice that Liam is staring right at me. His arm is in front of half of his face. "You talk in your sleep ya know." Liam says. Tears sting the rim of my eyes. Liam sits up and pulls my torso near his. He checks his phone. 5:57 am. "Love, I'm here for you always. Tell me what happened." Liam coos. He plants a sympathetic kiss on my lips. I tell him the whole dream which wasn't much. "I was so scared Liam, it felt so real." I cry. Liam rubs my back and kisses me again. "It was just a nightmare love. It wasn't real." Liam says.

"Here let me get us a hot bath ready. It'll relax us." Liam says. I nod and wipe my tears from my eyes. Liam gets up from the bed and turns around. The fire illuminates his bare body. I can see every detail to his body. He makes his way to our bathroom. I get up from the bed and walk to the dresser. I grab a pair of panties and a bra with a short t-shirt. I slip them on and walk out of the room. I walk down to the kitchen and walk to the utensil drawer. I open it and look around. A very small knife catches my eyes. I grab it and quickly run over to the sink.
