Y/n's POV

Ever since Five solved the apocalypse, he's been having these night terrors. They've been going on for a few months now and the only thing that seems to calm him down is when I'm there. So for the past few days, I've been sleeping with him to help him calm down. It seems to be working but every now and then, he'll starting kicking and yelling. One time he even spatial jumped out of bed and I had to go find him.

I woke up around two in the morning to Five moving around in his sleep. He was sweating and moving his arms around, nearly hitting me. I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled his body into me, and he calmed down a little bit.

He woke up with a jolt and looked around the room. He noticed I was holding on to him and he wrapped his arms around my back.

"I'm sorry baby." He whispered.

"It's okay. You can't help it. What happened to you isn't your fault." I whispered.

"Thank you."

"You don't have to say thank you. I'll always be here."

He eventually fell asleep again and I was still awake when four o'clock rolled around. I was a little hungry so I went to the kitchen to grab some toast or something. I got back to see Five moving around again, I sighed and walked over to the bed. I held my hand to his cheek and he stopped moving around so much. He jumped away and I stepped back from the empty bed.

"Hold on, Five. I'm coming." I whispered. I turned to walk out the door but Five was standing in the way.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked putting my hand on his arm.

He brought his arm up and I noticed he was holding a small knife in his hand. I stepped away from him.

"Five! Wake up!"

His eyes were closed and he slashed the knife through the air, coming in contact with my arm.

I fell back onto the bed and screamed for him to wake up.

His eyes fluttered open and he stared at me holding my arm. His eyes glanced at the knife and he dropped it to the floor.

"Y/n? D-did I do that t-to you?" He said pointing to my arm.

"N-no this was here before." I lied.

"Y/n, leave. I could have killed you. You could have died! I-I'm a monster." He screamed as he held his hands in his hair. He started to cry.

Klaus and Allison had shown up at this point and were staring at the sight in front of them.

"Y/n leave!"

"I'm not going anywhere." I spoke calmly. I slowly climbed out of bed and took a step toward him.

He stepped back but I continued to walk to him. I grabbed his hands and pulled them away from his face. He opened his eyes as few tears fell from his face.

"I'm not leaving." I whispered.

"Then I guess I'll have to make you." He whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm breaking up with you. I love you to much to lose you, I won't keep you to myself when I know there's a chance you could die." He said as he pushed me away from him.

I stepped back and started to cry a little bit, but I needed to stay strong.

"That's not gonna make me leave, Five. I love you to much to see you hurt."

"Why? Why do you love me!? All I've ever done is hurt you."

I smiled and grabbed his face to turn and look at me. I kissed him and didn't leave his lips until he pulled away.

"Stop."

"No." I persisted. "Can't you see I would rather die than let you suffer."

"I love you so much, y/n."

"I love you too."

I walked away from him and picked up the knife from the ground and pushed through his siblings to go put the knife in the kitchen. I went back to his room and he was sitting on his bed.

"Okay, now. Go to sleep. I'll clean up in the morning. I won't leave until you properly wake up."

"Why didn't you leave?" He asked.

"Because you deserve to be happy after everything you've done for this world."

"What about your happiness?"

"I'm happy if you're happy." I answered.

"I don't deserve you." He said as I lied down beside him.

"Yes you do. Shut up and go to sleep." I said.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled my back into his chest. He buried his face into my neck and gave me a soft kiss before falling asleep.

"I love you more than you could ever know, Five." I whispered.
