Chapter Nine

Paige?s P.O.V

I ought to have fallen asleep. It was funny really, because I didn?t don’t forget a thing. I just woke up with wet cheeks plus a sore throat, the haunting memories of the nightmare I?d just experienced still lingering in my mind. I felt soft finger ideas wipe away my tears hurriedly, but I couldn?t see who it was, as tears nonetheless blurred my vision. I scrambled up into a sitting position, trying to catch up with my breath. Those men, the ones that had hurt me the night just before. They had been chasing me inside the night. I couldn?t lose them. No matter what I did, their footsteps followed me. Amber?s voice followed me too, calling me, wanting me. But I couldn?t find her. She was somewhere, but I couldn?t find exactly where.

Having escaped that nightmare was a relief in itself. It was like torture, reliving last nights events, and I rubbed my eyes desperately, fraught with the need to be rid of the awful images.

Alex?s voice pulled me back to the present.

?Shh.? He whispered. ?It?s ok, Paige. You were dreaming. It was all 1 horrible, scary, messed up dream. I?m here, and I?m not going to let you get hurt.? He told me soothingly, and I felt those powerful arms wind about me, and I leant into them, squeezing his body challenging against mine.

?I in no way need to see that once again.? I told Alex.

?I?m sure you don?t sweetheart. It?s ok. I?m here. Absolutely nothing will hurt you. I promise you.?

?That was horrible.? I whispered shakily. I felt his lips rest on the leading of my head. ?Thank you, Alex. I do appreciate it.? I smiled up at him.

?No should thank me.? He told me. We lay in silence.

?Are you currently still tired?? He asked me.

?No.? I lied. I was just terrified of those nightmares. ?You??

?Na.? He stated, but I knew that was a lie. He was evidently exhausted. I knew he hadn?t slept the night ahead of, and he necessary sleep.

?Sleep. You?re exhausted.? I told him, but he shook his head stubbornly.

I sighed and sat up, pulling my laptop into my lap. I went into my files and looked for the film.

?What are you doing?? Alex asked, pulling me back onto his lap.

?Discovering A Walk To Bear in mind. In the event you won?t sleep, you may also do something.?

We settled down and watched the film. I loved it so a lot. It was undoubtedly my favourite. When the line ?Are you seducible?? was stated, Alex laughed.

?You had been right.? He kissed me, and I smiled.

?I know.? And we settled back into the film.

Alex?s P.O.V

That film. Oh, God. I cried so much. Paige had fallen asleep on my lap and I woke her up when I cried in the ending. I undoubtedly was not 1 to cry at films, but it truly touched me to see Landon lose the 1 he loved. When Paige sat up and saw me crying, she smiled and wiped my cheek with her thumb.

?Did you watch the film?? She asked me quietly.

?Yes.? I confirmed. ?I sure did.?

?Take pleasure in it?? She asked me, running her hand by means of my hair.

?Yes. I genuinely did. It was really moving.?

She nodded, smiling sadly. ?I?m glad you liked it. And I?m glad it moved you.? She leant forward and kissed me gently, and felt the wetness of my cheeks against hers.

?I don?t like seeing you upset.? She told me, and I smiled, pulling her tighter in my lap.

?You realize what I learnt right now?? I asked, sobering up from the crying.

?What?s that?? She asked me, smiling sweetly.

?I by no means ever desire to lose you.? I told her, and she smiled.

?You won?t.? She said.

?Good.? I smiled, and I leant forward to kiss her.

Paige?s P.O.V

I slept the day away with Alex, and Matt slept in his room. I woke up and my head was resting on his stomach, having slipped down from his chest. I felt his hands below my arms, pulling me back as much as his chest. I looked up, dazed.

?Alex??

?Shh. Go back to sleep.? He whispered, pulling me back down, and I snuggled back against his chest and fell back to sleep.

When I woke up once more, I was back below my duvet, making use of Alex?s stomach as a pillow again. I didn?t blame my sub-conscious self for finding it so comfortable; I could feel the faint outline of a not too tough six pack, and also the rise and fall of his breathing was very comforting.

I wriggled up and out from under the cover?s of my bed, and saw a really sleepy searching Alex grin at me.

?You appear to like sleeping down there.? He smiled, pulling me into his arms. I could tell he?d just woken up, and he was all soft and warm from sleeping.

?Yeah. I think I do.? I laughed. ?Sorry I woke you up.?

?It?s fine. We?ve slept a great deal already anyway.? He stated.

?How long?? I asked.

?About 4 hours.? He told me.

?But, contemplating you didn?t sleep last night, that really isn?t considerably.

?Mm.? He replied, as if unconvinced.

?You need to sleep much more.? I told him. He shrugged, not truly caring.

?Perhaps I should.? He stated. ?Doesn?t mean I will.?

Matt?s P.O.V

I could tell Paige was upset when Alex had to leave when mum and dad got home. She seemed a bit a lot more down when he was gone, curled up on the sofa, not touching her dinner. We tried to convince her to eat, but she persisted that she wasn?t hungry.

Her telephone buzzed in her pocket and she pulled it out and grinned as soon as she?d read the text. Without having asking, I knew it could be from Alex. I liked the way he could cheer her up soon after something. It was undoubtedly a great top quality to have when dealing with a person as delicate as Paige.

It wasn?t long before she told us all she was going up to bed. I followed her up about half an hour later, and craned my neck around her door. She was quickly asleep.

Sneakily, I took her telephone from her bedside, and picked it up, going straight to her inbox.

I identified the text Alex had found her earlier:

Paige! Hope you’re feeling better now, darling. Don’t forget, when you have a nightmare tonight, call me, and I?ll pick up. I?ll have my phone on all night. Just for you. Sweet dreams, lovely girl. Alex xxxxxxxxxxxx.
