"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asked softly, laying down next to her with a little sigh. "Or just have me hold you?"
Does anyone want to help me write a story
She turned around to face him" we were at Taylor's with my mom and your family and your dad was saying how awful I was and how you could do much better " she said tearing up "and you were agreeing and star walked in and you took the ring right off my finger and out it on hers and I broke down crying and your entire family including you they were hurting me beating me and you were laughing" she said
"So that's why you were so insistent on going…" Brad whispered with a soft sigh. Pulling her close to himself, he continued petting her head softly. "I promise that won't happen. I don't like Star. She's just a brat, who wants to hurt you. And about everyone hurting you, my family would never do that. I wouldn't either. Taylor, and Emmy were raised violence was wrong. They aren't the type of people to hurt you. I promise."
"Brad if something does happen to me I want you to know I have and always will love you" she said
"And the same goes for me. If something happens to me, remember I love you." Brad whispered, kissing her forehead gently. "I promise, it's true."
" I know your dad doesn't approve of me but I do love you so much" she said
"And I love you." He whispered, pecking her lips. "I promise, he won't get in the way of us. I won't ever date another girl if he tries to split us up."
She closed her eyes and kissed his shoulder
"I love you…" Brad whispered, relaxing when she kissed him.
"I love you too baby" she said
Lifting his head, he let out a soft sigh. "We should probably get up… we need to figure this all out before tonight."
"Please just let me sleep just for a little while" she said
Nodding softly, Brad continued to get up. "Alright, you stay in bed." He hummed a little, reaching for his phone.
She closed her eyes but immediately visions of her nightmare came back and she whimpered quietly
Brad was holding the phone to his ear, talking in a soft voice to Maggie. "I'm sorry it's so early. If it wasn't for plans I have later, I would have given it some time. And Caroline is sleeping right now. It gives me the chance to actually-" Cutting himself off, he heard Caroline's whimper and turned back to her. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he gently tried to shake her awake. "Well, I was going to say actually talk to you. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Can you come over in a little bit?"
She whimpered more clenching her eyes shut
"Hold on, Maggie." Setting his phone aside, he shook her again. "Babe, you need to wake up. Come on. I don't want you scared." He whispered, still gently shaking her. "Caroline, you need to wake up."
She shook her head harshly
"Come on, babe. I need you to wake up." Brad insisted, shaking her a little harder. "Please. You're clearly having a nightmare."
" ow!" She said pushing him away
Brad pulled back, sighing softly. "Sorry… I didn't mean to hurt you." He whispered weakly, folding his arms over his chest. "You alright?"
She pulled down her shirt to reveal a giant bruises on her shoulder
"I- I didn't do that, did I?" Brad asked weakly, feeling sick at the sight. If possible, any and all color would have drained from his face.
She looked at him and whimpered scooting away and looking at the wall
"Caroline- I…" Brad felt tears sting at his eyes, and stood up from the bed. Reaching over, he hung up on Maggie before walking out of the room. It was happening again. He felt like a monster to her. He couldn't bare to look at her if that's what she was thinking. It made him physically sick.
As soon as Brad left she broke down crying, thinking he was leaving her
He came into the living room, and started pacing. His heart was racing once again, with tears starting to run down his face. His life was a mess- he couldn't keep it together right now. He wasn't able to help her, thinking she thought he was something despicable.
Caroline got up and went to the bathroom she looked in the mirror" you can't do anything right you don't deserve him you screw everything up no wonder his father doesn't like you " she said to her reflection a little too loudly before she slammed her fist down on the counter making a bruise and bawled her eyes out
Brad's head was pounding, and his thoughts were so loud, he barely heard her. He should probably go check on her, but he wasn't exactly 'emotionally stable' enough to give support. He wasn't really sure he could take more crying at the moment. His head hurt, and he just wanted to go lie back down. But he couldn't really do that. So sucking up any and all his emotions, he made his way to the bathroom door. Knocking lightly, he felt himself go numb when he spoke. "Caroline?"
She opened the door from her spot on the floor and looked at him her eyes bloodshot her cheeks red and puffy and more tears running down her cheeks
