Save me~ q.g

Chapter 27

He was there. Threatening and then actually doing the damage. Doing worse than he did the first time around, he had to to get his revenge.

That's when I woke up, in the middle of the night with sweat dripping down my head. Why now! Why am I having nightmares about mason now! I wanted to cry I felt the lump in my throat grow... I hadn't even realised that I was crying before I felt the tear drops run down my cheek and fall on to my bed sheets. No matter how hard I try, he's always going to be here.

I felt my hands begin to shake and my breathing picked up pace. Noooo. I can not have one of these now, here. I couldn't control it though, no matter how hard I tried it was inevitable. The tears began to sting my red cheeks and I felt my breath hitch. It was hard to even breath never mind the pace my breathing was going at when I could catch a breath. The little crys I had been hiding before were now escaping my mouth and becoming slightly louder.

There was a knock on the door and I didn't even have it in me to shout come in... I couldn't even do that. My breathing was going everywhere and it was hard to even catch my breath. Before I knew it Quinton was next to me rubbing my back trying to calm me down. I could tell he was stressed, he's seen me like this but never had to help, jaden or mads always have. He was mumbling "what does jaden do" as my breathes became shorter.

Quinton-"Paige" he said my name calmly and lifting my head to look up to him. He was doing deep breaths slow and steady deep breathes.
Quinton-"focus on me Paige" he said trying to get my full attention.

I stared at him as he continued with his deep breaths, he had my hands in his hands and was rubbing the top of them. I kept attempting to sync my breathes with him, I had slown down slightly but nowhere near his breathes yet. He had a worried look in his eye and his grip on my hands tightened. I felt it all of a sudden hitch again. It was picking its pace back up and I couldn't see Quinton through my blurry tears anymore. I felt rusting and the next thing I know my bed dips down again.

I'm being pulled closer to someone, and they are tracing things over my back and hands. They began whispering things to me and soon enough I began to listen. I could tell it was jaden now by his voice and the way he was tracing. He held me close but gave me space to breathe he also did what he did every time he sung to me. It got me to focus on him and only him, I did and as I did I felt myself calm down bit by bit. 

After five minutes I was back to normal. Well kind of. As normal as I could be after that, my breathing was normal and I wasn't crying anymore so I guess yes.

Jaden-"Are you good now p?"
Paige-"mhm" I nodded as he let go of me and I moved over to Quinton.
Quinton-"I'm sorry"
Paige-"why are you sorry I should be saying sorry"
Quinton-"I can't help you like jaden can"
Paige-"and it took jaden months to be able to do that"
Jaden-"don't expose me!"
Paige-"sorry" I laughed slightly
Quinton-"yeah but still, I should be able to help you"
Jaden-"mads has a different way to calm her down, she begins to tell her secrets and other things as she rubs her back and gets her to focus on her breath"
Quinton-"yeah but still..."
Paige-"you did a great job you almost had it... I don't know what happened after but you almost did"
Jaden-"practice and if you can find something that calms her down add that to it aswell"
Quinton-"thanks Jae"
Paige-"thank you both... I'm sorry"
Jaden-"stop Saying sorry.it's not your fault"
Paige-"i woke you both up and it kind of is my fault"
Quinton-"how?"
Paige-"cause I'm the one who had the nightmare and the anxiety attack"
Quinton-"that's not your fault"

I nodded as the boys got up to go back bed. I grabbed Quintons arm and pulled him back down onto the bed. Jaden chuckled as he walked out of the room closing the door. I rolled over making room for Quinton. I tapped the space next to me and he rolled over closer to me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and nuzzled my head into his shoulder. He kissed my head before playing with my hair.

Paige-"I love you"
Quinton-"I love you too."

I fell asleep tangled in his arms and mine. I loved sleeping like this and I can say that I never have once had a nightmare with his arms wrapped around me holding me close.

I know he wouldn't let anyone hurt me again. He would stop anything he could bad from happening but you can't always stop the bad can you? It's just a thing that happens no matter how much you try and stop it... put a defence up it can still happen. And that's it Sometimes it just happens... that's why it's so scary.
