Goodnight

Layla's side:

His dad came out of the room first, looking at me with a cold glare that gave me shivers down my spine. Jacob didn't come out, so i decided to check on him.

L -"Jacob? Are you alright?"

He didn't respond, but instead, walked up to me and put his arms around me all of a sudden.

J -"Let's just go to bed, okay?..."

L -"O-okay"

We went to our room to unpack the bags, and once we were done i got ready for bed.

L -"Jacob...Are you sure you're okay?"

J -"I'm fine, don't worry about me, just get some sleep"

L -"You're not fine,i can see it. You don't have to tell me what's wrong, but don't act like everything's fine when you know it's not"

Jacob stayed silent, i could tell he wasn't going to say anything, so i walked towards where he was sitting and put my arms around him.

L -"It's okay..." i said, leaning my head on his shoulder

Jacob's side:

I felt her warmth around me, it was comforting. I've never cried in front of anyone before, i didn't like feeling vulnerable, but now, things were different.

Layla's side:

We laid down next to each other as i played with his hair. He had Beautiful dark brown hair that wasn't straight, but not too curly either.I drifted of to sleep soon after, and so did Jacob.

"LET GO OF ME! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!"

L -"AH!"

I woke up screaming and sweating heavily.

J -"What happened?! Are you okay?!"

L -"H-he hurt her! She's gone!"

I stared at the blanket, still shaking from my dream.

J -"I-it's okay"

I had experienced bad nightmares like these many times, but this one, this one was different

L -"I-i'm sorry...That happens a lot"

J -"Really? Have you talked to someone about it?"

L -"No, but it's not a big deal, I've been getting them for years now so i'm used to it"

J -"Years?!"

Jacob put his arms around my waist and held me close. He smelt like honey, it was comforting.

J -"Let's just go have breakfast, okay?"

L -"Okay"

We got dressed and went downstairs to have some breakfast, where all his brothers were sitting except for Marco.

J -"Where's Marco?"

MX -"He went off again"

A -"This early?"

J -"I thought he said he wouldn't anymore"

MX -"What can i say, he doesn't usually keep his promises"

We finished up our breakfast quickly and decided to go to the park, since we were only going out for diner later tonight.
