Royal Crime 4

Fifteen

I wake up screaming and sweating, Joe runs in with his gun up looking around the room but once he sees I'm okay and the room is clear, he comes to me

"Sssh, it was just a bad dream" He says softly, I'm breathing heavily. The room feels so hot, he hands me the glass of water that I always keep on the bed side and I take gulps of it.
"I thought your night terrors were done" He says, I shake my head
"This wasn't the crash or anything from my past. It was scary, it was so real, God why me, why can't I be happy with no fear" I cry, Joe hugs me as I sob

"I'm so sorry Miley, you don't deserve this, you don't" He says, I manage to calm down after ten minutes and pull away wiping my face
"Thank you Joe" I say, he smiles
"I've told you all your life, you don't have to thank me at all for all I do for you" He says, I shrug
"Still, thank you" I say as he stands and he kisses my head
"Get some more sleep, it's way too early still" He says then closes the door behind him and I see he is right, it's four in the morning, our flight isn't until eight thirty. I lean back sighing then pull out my phone and I text Jason

Me: Doubt you're awake but I just..I miss you, I need one of your hugs so much right now.

It sends and I then look through my contacts to see if anyone would be awake right now, my thumb stops on Niall Horan. I haven't spoken to him in months, should I? I shrug and as I was about to press call, Jason calls me making my heart jump and I answer quickly

"Jason" I say
"What's wrong princess?" He asks, he isn't whispering though which makes me furrow my brows
"Why aren't whispering? Why aren't you asleep?" I ask, he chuckles
"I'm Jason McCann, I basically run this prison babe and I'm not asleep because I always wake up at this time since I hate these mattresses and I don't have you in my arms," He pauses, "now tell me, what's wrong?" He asks, I sigh
"I just had a bad dream" I say

"The usual one?" He asks, I shake my head
"No, it was that we were getting married then everything went to shit and blood was everywhere and I was being beaten as you watched. Someone kept saying thats what I asked for by being with you, that that's how my life will always be. Fear left and right" I say, I don't realize I'm crying until Jason is shushing me and a tear goes into my mouth

"Babe, that will never in a million years happen. Your life will not be filled with fear, I won't let that happen. I won't let you feel fear as long as I'm breathing okay?" He asks, I can tell he means every word he is saying
"I believe you" I whisper
"Good, now wipe those tears babe" He says and I do
"Now all those guys in there know you're a softy" I tease, he chuckles

"Nobody heard a thing I said, I'm not in the cells. I'm in a room I have access to for us" He say, my body tingles at the words 'room' and 'us'.
"A room? For us?" I ask
"Mmhm" I can hear the smirk on his face
"Why would we need a room?" I ask playing dumb
"To play hide and seek, babe what else. I'm a man that misses his girl, all of her" He says, I bite my lip smiling

"Well, you'll have to wait until after you see your mother because I won't have her waiting" I say, he sighs
"Fine, but in that case you'll have to wear some of that sexy lingerie" He says, I smirk
"Okay deal" I say
"Fuck yes, now I am even more excited for you to get here" He says, I giggle
"I love you Jason" I say
"I love you too Miley" He says then we hang up and I smile at the ceiling until my eyes give out and I fall asleep once more.

"Miley, thank you so much for bringing me to see my son" Pattie says for the millionth time as we land in Washington DC
"Pattie, for this millionth time, you have nothing to thank me for" I say, she giggles
"I'm sorry I keep saying it, I'm just nervous to see him again after so long" She says, I smile as we get off the private jet and we quickly get in a black car then Joe gets in and he tells the driver where to go

"Don't be nervous, he's your son. Nothing to be scared about" I say, she nods
"Will you go in with me?" She asks, I shake my head
"If you don't want me there, no. I'll see Jason later, I'll give him space after seeing his mom" I say, she smiles
"You're such a sweet girl, I'm happy he has you" She says, I blush
"I'm happy to have him, he's a sweet guy. You raised him right" I say, her eyes get glossy

"Did I really? God, I've always questioned that. What did I do wrong that he ended up doing these things with his brother, where did I mess up with them" She cries, I hug her
"Pattie, you didn't do anything wrong. You did everything right, you did all you can do. They fell into that life not because of you but because of what was going on in their house and out" I say, she looks at me wiping her eyes

"Thank you Miley" She says, I nod then see we are nearing the prison
"Now, fix yourself up. I don't want Jason seeing that you were crying" I say, she giggles nodding taking out a small mirror and fixing herself up. I sigh taking my phone out typing quickly

Me: We're outside..ready?
Jas: Ready baby, thank you for this.
