George's POV
I ran through the dark alley as I heard footsteps behind me I kept running and running until I was cornered, I felt a pain jab into my side as I clutched my now probably bruised torso and sunk to the floor.

I looked up to see my father staring at me with pure fury in his eyes, he grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and roughly pulled me to my feet, proceeding to yell at me with words I could barely understand, my ears were ringing and everything is a blur.

I woke up in a cold sweat with tears running down my face, me and Clay had gotten into a fight so we decided to take a breather before either of us said something we would regret and I had been staying with my parents for a day now, it was my only true option and my father terrified me, he's always been physically and verbally abusive to me in one way or another and I've adapted to it in the past but I guess now it's different, now I realize that that isn't normal.

I really wanted to call him, my heart was racing and I've been sent into a crying fig from my nightmare but I really didn't want to bother him. It's probably late and I really shouldn't, I knew this but my jittery hands thought otherwise, I quickly typed in his number and held it up to my ear, it was late, 4 am in fact, but he still picked up.

My shaky and heavy breathing was definitely heard through the speaker.

"George? George are you ok?!" He asked urgently

"I'm sorry- I-I'm fine, it's nothing- it's too late bother you I'm sorry" I said trying to speak clearly between my sobs

"Baby it's ok, I want to make sure you're ok, what's wrong"

"I had- I had a really bad nightmare- it was about my parents- I'm really scared Clay, I'm sorry" I whimpered

"Just take deep breaths, know that everything will be ok and I won't let anything happen to you, I'm so sorry I have to call you back but I'll make it up to you I promise"

"O-ok" I said as I heard the line go dead silent and I sunk further into the couch

I stayed there with my red and puffy eyes only getting more agitated and my sobs only getting louder and more broken, I was overreacting for just a silly dream but it's different when it could easily be my reality.

My head only lifted from being stuffed in my arms when I heard the creak of a door and mentally prepared myself for what might happen.

"George?" A voice whispered

I perked up when I realized who it was and quickly tiptoed into the other room, practically running into clays arms and stuffing my face into his chest.

He hoisted me up and I wrapped my arms around his waist, clinging onto him for dear life as he slowly carried me outside and into the car.

"I'm sorry for hanging up on you early, I should've just stayed on call while I drove here" he said sighing

"It's ok, you're here now and that's what matters" I said with a watery voice, trying to wipe my tears on my shirt.

"We're gonna go home and snuggle ok, and you'll wake me up if you have any nightmares again right?" He questioned

"Ok, that s-sounds good"

I ended up passing out in the car and he didn't wake me up when we were back home, he just carried me inside and put us both to sleep, or at least that's what I assumed happened because when I woke up in the morning his hand was loosely in mine and he was pressed against me with a slight smile on his face, I could feel something lingering on my cheek and I was sure it was one of his kisses, he's honestly the cutest boyfriend I could ever ask for, I love him so much it's impossible to even begin to describe it.

I returned his kiss and kept cuddling with him until he would eventually wake up, in the meantime I was enjoying his embrace and I felt very loved and protected.

Clays POV
As I stirred awake I felt a pair of arms wrapped around me and holding me close and I opened my eyes to see my lovely boyfriend with a sleepy smile plastering his face, I leaned in to give him a peck on the lips and he kissed back.

"I love you Georgie-poo" I said touching a finger to his nose and giggling

"I love you too you little softy" he said leaning in for another kiss.
