Will's POV:

There I am, her in my arms, not wanting to part from her, in disbelief that she said yes. I was truly still in shock that she actualy agreed that we should become serious. The only problem is my family.

My father was supposedly coming back from England today and I ditched going to the 'Welcome Back' dinner and seeing my brother, who was also coming home from his university and attending the dinner, to come see Kenz-and to me, it was well worth it.

I slip her head from my shoulder to the pillow, about to leave since she was sleeping now and looked so comfortable.

"Mmm....mommy?....mommy is that you?" She mumbled, obviously dreaming because her eyes were still closed. I smiled looking at how her forehead crinkled and a confused look played on her face. She looked so cute.

"Mommy...mom, don't leave me alone....please don't leave me in the dark...I don't like the dark..." She continued, her confused look changing in.to a hurt and sad one.

I went back and sat next to her and i couldn't help but wonder what she was dreaming about.

"Shhh kenz. It's okay. I'm here." I cooed softly, rubbing her face gently with my index finger.

"No..! No! NO!!" she cried out, jolting up from her sleep, or nightmare, panting and in shock.

"Kenz...are you alright?"

I instinctively grabbed her, wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug. I can't leave her now. Not like this. I'll just deal with my family tomorrow.

"Don't leave me...don't leave me please..." She whispered softly, crying into my shirt.

"Shhh, it's okay. I won't leave you." I rubbed her back gently, making sure she felt comforted.

I laid her back down and wrapped my arms loosely around her body to let her know that I was still right here.

"I want some milk." She said softly, about to get out the bed.

"No, I'll get it. Lay back down." She nodded and got back into the bed. I lifted the covers over her legs and went out the door and down the stairs.

I walked into the kitchen and then the lights turned on, causing me to tense up a little.

"Hey...William, was it?" Said Laura, only wearing some really short shorts and a bra. She started walking slowly towards me and she stopped when our bodies were connecting.

"Are you sure you want to be with Kennise? I know you want me William. And once you go black you never go back. Don't waste your time on her when you can have this fine milk chocolate." She says. I laugh snidely at her comment. Is she serious?

"Thats really cute but actually, I'm quite content with my girlfriend." I say, pushing her off and going to the fridge. She stood there, looking at a loss for words.

"Well...I know she hasn't fucked you yet...so it's not too late to change your mind. Think about it. I'll be in the guest room if you need me." She said, at a loss of what to say. She started rubbing on my back and made a failed attempt to Naomi Campbell walk away.

I pour Kenz a glass of milk and take the stairs two at a time to her room. She's sitting up, laughing, on the bed with the tv on a comedy.

"Here's your milk." I say, handing it too her.
