—flash back.
he drags me into the woods, one of his hands covering my mouth while his other hand has a tight grip on my waist, making sure i couldn't escape from his muscular arms.
i try to scream for help, but it only comes out as a mumble.
"shut up." he grits his teeth at me, and his grip only grows tighter the deeper we go into the woods.
warm tears stream down my face as he pushes me to the ground, everything goes blurry for a few seconds and my head spins as i feel like passing out.
"don't. please stop." i beg for my life as i push my self against the tree behind me.
my body shakes vigorously as he desperately reaches into his pocket, and i scream once a shiny knife is in his hand.
he waves it around lightly before holding me down, i start to feel a sharp pain in the side of my hip. making me gasp, my eyes widen and i feel my eyelids get heavy-
—end of flashback.
my body jumps up in fear, and i feel the wet tears on my cheeks. my chest pumping up and down as my breath hitches, my eyes wide open in shock as i stare in front of me.
soon realising that i'm a small tent... in the woods.
"ethan." is all i say, the tears still streaming down my face uncontrollably, my arms shiver as the tent lightly shakes from the strong wind outside. the rain hitting the thin material.
"babe are you okay?" i hear a croaky voice come from behind me, making my head turn around.
and once i realise it's ethan, i sigh in relief.
i hear him gasp once he sees me crying.
"come here gorgeous." he sits up with me; the inflatable bed sinking down a little bit.
my shoulders bob up and down as i silently cry.
"hey, it was just a bad dream. you're safe with me."
he grabs the fluffy blanket that i was recently laying on. throwing it over my back, wrapping his arms around my small body and cradling me in his arms. my head resting on his shoulder, and i place a small kiss on his jaw.
"you're okay. i've got you. i won't let anything hurt you ever again, ever." his calming voice speaks, and i close my eyes. feeling my tears soak up his shirt.
"i love you so much." i say, my voice cracking a little bit at the end of my sentence.
"i love you so much more baby girl." he kisses the top of my head, snuggling closer to me. if that was even possible.
"when we leave this trip, hopefully you won't be scared of the woods anymore."
i feel his warm hands travel up the hoodie i'm wearing, and he runs his hand up and down the curve of my hip.
and i hug his waist tighter when i feel his finger tips run across the scar on my hip, from that horrendous night in the woods.
i soon feel my self dozing off, to the sound of his heartbeat.
feeling safe in his arms.
—i'm sorry you had to read this shit.
