When I'm With You (REWRITING)

CHAPTER 34

Kaz's P.O.V

I look at Dee for the tenth time in a few hours and then back on my laptop. 

One of the reasons I wanted Dee to move in with was to keep her hidden, but unfortunately, that failed big time. How did Peter find out where I live? 

I sigh quietly not wanting to wake her up. It's already 6 in the morning. 

I couldn't sleep knowing that bastard is nearby and could end up coming back for more. I ended up bringing and finishing all the paperwork in my room because I would hear Dee sob or grunt in her sleep. I had to hold her hand gentle or crease her cheek softly to for her to stop and fall back asleep peacefully.

I didn't want to tell her because I know her reaction was going to be unpredictable.

I hear her phone alarm go off making me jump to my feet and turn it off. 

I don't want her to go to work today. Not after what happened. 

I informed Jay and Freddie about the break-in, telling them to be careful and to keep an eye on the girl

My eyes move to Dee shuffling in the bed before lifting her head. "Kaz?" she says softly. 

"Yeah, baby," I reply say looking down at her. If I were, to be honest, she looked a mess, yet still as beautiful as ever. 

She rubs her face and lays her head back on the pillow. "Shit, I have work," she says sleepily. 

I groan. "You're not going today, princess," 

"Kaz, no. I have to go," She sits up, still covered by the blanket. My shirt was hanging down, exposing her shoulder and collarbone. 

"Nope, not today. The last thing I want is for you to get hurt. You're not going anyways until I know it's safe for you." I collapse on the bed beside her. She looks down at the ground and then turns her head to face me. 

"Did you sleep at all?" she says softly. 

I shake my head and yawn. "I couldn't," I replied lazily. 

I grab her by the waist and I pull her on top of me. She sits there, placing her hand on my abs snd tracing her fingers around my tattoos. She leans down on me and lays on my chest, causing me to wrap my arms around her securely. 

"Kaz, I-i'm scared. I know what my father can do. I don't want things to go back to the way it was," she says. 

"You don't have to worry. I've got this under control. Ok?" I rub her back gently. I feel her nod and trace my tattoos again. 

I catch myself falling asleep to her warmth and fingers tracing my tattoos lightly. 

------------------------------------------

I shot up, hearing my phone ring loudly. I check the ID. It was from Freddie. 

F - Where the fuck are you? I've called you like 5 times.

K - Sleeping. I didn't sleep all night. 

F - Whatever. Come down to the Lookout building, we have some information on Peter.

K - I'll be there in 30. 

F - Right, bye. 

I end the call and notice Dee wasn't in bed with me. "Princess?" I say out loud. 

I panic, not receiving an answer. 

I get out of bed and check downstairs in a hurry. "Dee?!" I yell out.
