Kill or Keep

Chapter 15- I'll be here for you

Matt's POV:

As Beatrice and I were watching the movie, I started falling asleep, and soon after, I lost the battle of not falling asleep and passed out. My dream was about Beatrice and me holding her, not wanting to let go of her as if I'm about to lose her. My dream was interrupted by someone crying. I woke up to see a blanket on my and the TV turned off. I also don't see Beatrice so I start worrying and walk up to her room. I walk up to the door and I'm about to turn the doorknob, but something stops me. I hear Beatrice crying. I open the door to see my little Bee, crying in her sleep. I walk up to her bed and try to wake her up. "Beatrice, wake up." I say to her as she starts waking up. Once Beatrice wakes up, she is still crying. "Do you want to talk about it?" I ask her because I don't like seeing her crying and I want to know what's bothering her. Beatrice shakes her head no, but I don't let it go so I ask her, "Please tell me what's wrong." Beatrice then tells me about her nightmare about her parents and her older brother and how they were bleeding and then her mother saying that Beatrice should have done something to prevent their death. She was only seven at the time, she couldn't do anything and she kept saying that it's her fault. I hugged her while she cried in my chest. I told her that she probably did everything she could.

Beatrice continued to cry. She needs to calm down before she has an anxiety attack. "Beatrice, you need to calm down." I tell her, hoping she calms down. She doesn't. Beatrice continues to cry. I tell her again, "Beatrice please calm down, please." Beatrice finally calms down. We're still hugging and I look at my phone, checking the time. I got off of the bed and said, "Well, I'm going to let you sleep. Goodnight." As I was trying to leave the room, Beatrice grabbed his arm, while looking at the ground. "Could you stay with me until I fall asleep?" Beatrice asked me, while her face was turning red. I nodded and laid in the bed with her. As Beatrice was falling asleep, I could tell she was afraid. She was afraid of what nightmares would wait for her if she fell asleep. I then whispered in my ear and said, "Go to sleep Beatrice. I'll be here if you have another nightmare." Beatrice nodded her head and started falling asleep. Before she was about to pass out, I whispered in her ear, "Goodnight my little Bee." Once Beatrice fell asleep, I was just thinking about why I started to bully her. As I was thinking, I started to get sleepy. I stopped fighting how exhausted I was and I let sleep consume me.

The Next Day:

Once I woke up, I felt arms around me. I look down to see Beatrice hugging me while she's sleeping. I smiled at this because she is so goddamn adorable and she looks so peaceful. I got up and left Beatrice's room without making a sound because I didn't want to wake her up. Once I left her room, I went downstairs and started to make breakfast for both Beatrice and I. I decided to make pancakes with bacon for breakfast.

As I'm making breakfast, my train of thought went to the times when Beatrice and I were still friends and the adventures that her and I went on. She always had a smile on her face wherever we went. That made me happy always seeing her smile. I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't even hear Beatrice walking in the kitchen. I was pulled out of my thoughts by someone tapping on my shoulder. I turned around and looked down to see my little Bea. Now that I think about it, she's very short compared to me. (Author's note: "No shit, sherlock!") Beatrice saw the food and she went in the cupboard to get plates for both her and I. I grabbed the plate she had for me and how much pancakes and bacon I wanted and she did the same thing. We went and sat at the table and started to eat. 

As we were eating, there was no conversation between us. It was so quiet and it kinda started to make me uncomfortable. I looked up from my plate to see Beatrice already done with her food. I looked at her face and she kept looking at the ground. She looks so goddamn cute. My heart starts beating faster by the minute and my face becomes red. "Goddammit face, stop it!" I think to myself. Beatrice looks up and I quickly look away. I get up. I walked over to pick up her plate then I got my plate. I walked over to the sink and started washing the plates.

Once I got done washing the plates, I got a text from my mother. She said that I need to help her around the shop. I texted her that I'll be there soon. I looked over at Beatrice and she was watching the news. I looked at the news to see that the woman on the news is saying that this gang called Hollywood Undead is dangerous and showed a picture of us raising hell around the city of L.A. I smiled at this because we're leaving our mark around L.A. I looked down at Beatrice and she had a shocked look on her face. "Hmm. I wonder why?" I thought to myself still having that smirk on my face. I tap on Beatrice's shoulder and she looks at me. "Hey, I have to leave and go help my mother at the shop." I say. Beatrice gets up and says, "Thank you for helping me last night. I appreciate you helping me." What catches me off guard is she hugs me. It takes me a while at first, but I hug her back. "So cute." I mumble to myself. Beatrice beaks the hug and I tell her, "Remember, I'm always here for you." I see her face turning a little red. I smirk at this while she looks down at the ground. "Well, I got to go before my mother gets worried. See you later Bea." I say and walk out of her house making my way to my mother's shop.
