Chapter three: Nightmares.

Arya POV.

I have a brother, he saved me. I can't believe he came, I can't believe my mother asked him for help.

I'm Arya I'm sixteen, my life at home was pure hell so I ran away with my boyfriend. He told me he's a part of a gang and I thought he's so cool, I ran away with him, we planned on marrying and having kids and living our happily ever after.

But it happens that way, our first night together he tried to touch me and I refused so he forced himself on me. It all went downhill from there, let me spare you the details, I've been through hell.

Till ace my brother saved me, he said he'll keep me safe forever and god knows how much I crave to be safe.

I can't sleep at night, I couldn't sleep since I was young always having my sleep invaded with nightmares. Tonight isn't any different I'm having nightmares again only they are really bad, bad enough to make me scream.

I'm covered with sweat and having a hard time breathing I can't get enough air to my lungs. My door is thrown open and in came to my brother and his best friend Leo. I live with those two now, we live in a condo over their club, now that's really cool.

They both had guns up which made me scream in fear, I hate guns. Once they saw I was in no real danger only a nightmare they let the weapon down. They both came and sat next to me on the bed, sandwiching me in the middle.

"What's wrong baby girl" Leo ask

"Nightmares" I whisper

My brother's face softens, I've been here for a full week and the only time my brother talked to me was when he introduced himself and his friend telling me I'll be the safest girl on planet earth, cross their hearts and hope to die.

His friend on the other hand been friendly with me, smiling when he sees me, I've mostly hidden in my room.

"Ace can stay with you if you want" Leo offer and I look at my brother who nods his head yes.

"Okay..." I whisper anything is better than being alone.

Once Leo left I move to make space for my brother, he slides under the cover but keeps his distance.

"Wanna talk about it," he asks

"Not really" I whisper

"Good night ari " he turns the light off and I want to scream leave them on, I'm afraid of the dark.

But instead, I whisper again "can you leave the lights on" he grunts in response and turn the side lamp on offering me some light.

My brother fell asleep in a matter of minutes I was still scared to sleep, I extended my finger slowly and hold the back of his shirt when he doesn't wake up, I tighten my hold on it and close my eyes trying to sleep.

The next morning I wasn't well-rested but when was I ever, I strolled to the kitchen to find some food. I ate some cereal for breakfast and went back to my room. I had a chocolate bar for lunch and skipped dinner telling them I'm not hungry.

My brother had some Work to do in the club, which I wasn't allowed to go down to yet! Leo on the other hand I found out took care of security, he had an office here and we'll be staying in case I needed anything.

I watched some Netflix movies, for some weird reason I chose some horror movies. I don't even like horror but in my mind, my sick mind the movies couldn't be worst than what I actually been through. Man was I wrong, halfway through the movie I scream when the character got dragged out of bed by an unknown force.

Leo come running into my room with his gun, he saw I was alone and put it away in the waistband of his jeans.

"Nightmares?" he asks and I shake my head no.

He steps into my room and notices the movie that was still playing and frowns.

"It's too late for little girls to be up or to be watching horror movies. Turned off" he says sternly.

"No.." I reply who does he think he is? My father.

"Little girl turn the tv off and go to bed," he says again and I frown.

"No, you're not my father," I say

He leaves my room with a huff and I go back to my movie, a few minutes later the tv turns off. I try turning it back on but it says it got a lock now, damn it!

Now bored out of my mind without the tv, I had no phone on me. Damien took mine and I haven't asked ace for a new one yet. I sigh and get ready for bed, ready for another kind of horror movie only these ones are directed by my sick brain.

I keep the lights on and go to sleep, as expected and with the movie help, I see nightmares and scream. I wanted to call ace so he'll sleep with me again but I don't think he's back yet.

Leo comes in my room without a gun this time, he's wearing sweat pants only. His body is ripped, he has a dragon tattoo on his perfectly sculpted chest.

"Nightmare?" he asks and I nod

"Where's ace," I ask

"He's not back yet. I can stay with you if you want" he offers and I nod too afraid of being alone.

He gets in bed with me, only he doesn't keep to his side as ace does, he pull me close to his chest spooning my smaller body to his. He kisses my forehead and I feel safe in his arms, his touch isn't sexual, it's just safe.

"Go to sleep princess daddy's here" I hear when I was half asleep. I guess I just imagined that he didn't say daddy I'm sure.
