Amaryllis P.O.V.

He puts me down on the edge of the bath. “I’m going to get you some clothes and a towel.” He says while walking out of the room leaving me alone. He quickly returns with one of his shirts his jogging bottoms and a towel. “Uhm… I leave you here, to shower. Ok Uhm… I’ll leave now.” He says awkwardly. “Please stay” I say before he can shut the door. “I can’t stay while you are having a shower” he responds. “I don’t want to be alone, I can’t be alone.” “ Why you want me to say?” he asks. “I don’t’ trust myself” “How?” “I think I’m going to hurt myself, I don’t’ trust myself to be alone.” He just sands there watching me awkwardly. “Please stay with me.” “Uhm… if you really want me to stay I will stay.” He says hesitatingly. “Yes, I’m sure I want you here.”

He close the door and stand there, like he doesn’t know what to do. “Amaryllis, are you sure about this.” “Yes, Dan are you are ok with this?” I ask “Yes I am, I want to make sure…” I cut him of by starting to undress. When he sees me undress he turns on the shower and undresses’ as well.

I step under the warm water followed by Dan. When he steps in behind me I flinch at his touch. “It’s ok Amaryllis, it’s just me. I will not hurt you.” He wraps his arms around me, hugging me from behind. I relax in his embrace. I’m feeling safe.

At one point I feel his hands in my hair. His gentle fingers massaging my scalp. I turn around so I can hug him. Suddenly the water is cold. How long did we stand here?

After I get out the shower I feel a warm towel on my shoulders. Dan is looking at me with a sad smile. I yawn and he guides me to the guest room. He sits down at his desk and starts editing.

I feel hands on me. It’s dark. It’s so dark. Where am I. I see a devilish grin in the dark. I feel the hand again. There are more hands. People are making fun of me. More hands. I try to scream but no sound comes out of my mouth I struggle. I can’t get away! I can’t get away… more hands on my body. I can’t scream! I can’t  scream…

Amaryllis wake up! Wake up! Amaryllis! Amaryllis!

I wake up, I feel hand on my body. Kicking and screaming. “shh Amaryllis it’s alight. Shh, shh… it’s ok I’m here, shh nobody is going to hurt you.” Dan, Dan is here,… “Did I wake you up?” I ask “Yeah, but that is not important. Do you want to talk about it?” “No.” I simply answer. “Ok, go back to sleep” He tells me while he is walking to the door. “Please stay.”

I feel his arms around me, holding me very tight and very close. I fall asleep with the sound of his steady heartbeat.

Dan is here laying besides me keeping the bad dreams away…
