Trouble and nightmares

AVA’s POINT OF VIEW

We both showered and said Goodnight to each other. At first, I was scared to sleep on the same bed with Lucas but he has been very good to me anyway so I didn't let it bother me. And I made sure not to think about anything wrong with Lucas. We both got on the bed and he turned to the other side while I stared up at the sky. The whole house was bigger and better than Logan’s house. The room had a television fronting directly to the bed and the air conditioner made the room very dark.

The room had a scent of vanilla mixed with strawberry. The air in the room was so soothing and relaxing while I was still scanning around the room with my eyes. I heard Lucas snoring softly, and I giggled a bit. He must have been so tired after the day's stress.

I turned off the lights and slept off too.

After about an hour deep into my sleep, I kept feeling like someone was trying to hold and pull me by force. It felt like a stronghold and when I turned around to look at the person’s face it was Ryder, Logan’s mother. What does she want from me again?

“I see you are still alive, right”

Immediately I heard that I opened my eyes and jumped out of bed while screaming.

I was sweating and trembling with fear. What sort of dream was that? Oh, lord. Please help me.

Lucas stood up from the bed with his sleepy eyes, and I felt relaxed immediately after I saw him.

“Lily, are you alright? What is wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much?”

“Sir, I had a terrible dream. I am so sorry for waking you up. I am very sorry, sir”

“Don't worry just tell me what sort of dream you had”

“The mother of the man who did this to me was chasing me in my dream and she was angry to see that I was still alive”

“Look at your face in the mirror, Lily. You are a new person entirely. No one can come for you except you tell them who you are. So, stop stressing yourself out, okay? You need to rest, huh”

He held my hands gently and tucked me back to bed. He also got on the bed but I had a very weird favor to ask him.

“Sir, if it would not be too difficult for you or make you uncomfortable. Can I hold you while sleeping?”

“Of course, Ava you can. Come on”

He opened up his hands and I placed my head on his chest. He wrapped his hands around my waist and we slept that way. I felt so relaxed and I immediately slept off.

LOGAN’s POINT OF VIEW (LOS ANGELES)

I sat on the bed staring at Harper. We would be getting married in a few month's time but there was this sudden urge to regret and pain that washed through me. My mother kept telling me how happy I would be getting married to Harper but in reality, I wasn't happy. I was nothing close to being happy. In fact, I felt like I was being controlled and watched by Her. She doesn't let me make my decisions myself or free. She keeps insisting on following me everywhere and checking my phone every minute.

How can I get married to someone like this? My mother always takes Harper’s side of course, because she wants a rich daughter-in-law. I mean we are already rich and we have more than enough money but it was never enough for my mother. She always wanted more.

While walking back and forth inside my bedroom Harper woke up and asked what I was doing. I was not in my best mood so I decided to ignore her.

“Logan, what is wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you walking about like a lost puppy, huh?”

I looked at her but decided to ignore her because she wouldn't like my reply. I sat at the edge of the bed, took my phone, and started pressing it.

“You don't want to reply to me right? Is this how we are doing it now, Logan? It is 2 am at night. Why are you pacing around the room like a ghost? You scared me! And now you don't want to talk to me”

“Harper, what do you want me to say? You always complain about me but if I ever bring up the issue of calling off the wedding you would disagree and I wonder why. Can you tell me why you want to go through with this wedding? We are both falling out of love for each other, Harper”

When I stared at her she was already shedding tears and I felt bad that I made her cry in the middle of the night.

“Hey, I am sorry, okay? I didn't mean it that way Harper. I am so sorry, please”

I hugged her on the bed and she also held me closely.

“Logan, I love you so much and I can't imagine my life without you in it. I have been looking forward to this wedding and I cannot wait for the day I will become your wife so please don't take that joy away from me, Logan”

She wiped off her tears and said all that in a very soft and calm tone.

“I will never talk about calling the wedding off again, okay? I just thought you were not happy with me and I don't want you ending up with someone you will regret. I also love you, Harper”

“Logan, I am happy with you. Fine, Maybe we fight and argue a lot but it doesn't mean that I hate you, right? I love you a lot trust me, and I can not wait to officially be your wife”

We kissed and hugged each other back to sleep.

I hope I do not regret this decision of mine later on in the future.
