Andrew's POV I woke up to the sound of Freya whimpering next to me, she was stiff as a board laying on her back as she whimpered.I tried to wake her but she didn't wake her eyes looked to be moving running a mile a minute under her eyelids sending a wave of worry through me.I gripped her chin lightly as I tried to move her face to me but she just didn't seem to even flinch, her eyes still going, her body began shaking, goosebumps rising all over her body when she began to breath heavily, fear was apparent as I watched her. A sheen of sweat covered her body as she swallowed harshly.I kept trying to ask her to wake up, fear coursing through me when she began to move around a bit, a scream tore through her as she began to flail around, her hands clawing down on the bed making me worry she would hurt herself.I tried to stop her arms from swinging around when she began slapping me, then kicked me so I straddled over her to pin her arms to her side as she screamed repeatedly."Come one
Freya's POV After listening to Andrew tell me he loved me my entire body froze. The last time someone said that to me he tried to rape me.Trevor used those words to lull me into a sense of security, trust, but when he'd say it to me it actually did the opposite. It made me feel insecure, untrusted, worry, like bugs were crawling on my skin.When the words came out of Andrew's mouth it did something else entirely to my body making me intensely nervous.I abruptly turned away from him before walking into my bedroom, closing the door behind me as I leaned against it while thinking about what all just happened.Between the nightmare, him seeing at such a weak, pitiful state, to bathing me, then making my body succumb to his touch, to those words.How can I truly believe that he means these words to me when the last person was so cruel to me?I pushed off my door, walking to my closet grabbing a big shirt along with a pair of shorts.I pulled on some panties before slipping ito the short
Freya's POV Continued "Good morning Jenna, I apologize for earlier, I didn't mean to startle you or cause any issues."She jumped up from the couch, rushing to me while hugging me tightly."Don't you ever apologize for something like that, you can't control what happened. I'm just happy you are alright. Are you feeling better?"Nodding into her as I hugged her back before we pulled away."Yes, I'm feeling better, I'm lucky I had you all there for me."She winked at me before nudging her head in the direction of the kitchen making me smile."He's making you breakfast, he's in the best mood I've seen him in, in years, I know that's you."She whispered making me blush as I turned to go into the kitchen, his eyes finding me the second I rounded the corner, a smile on his face as he watched me walk closer."Took you long enough.""What do you mean?"I cocked my head to the side as I took a seat on the stool in front of the counter while he smirked at me."Breakfast was about to start gett
Andrew's POV The hurt, the guilt, the sorrow, the defeat.Every emotion pouring from Freya was hitting her like a ton of bricks about to crush her.Mom pulled me to the living room making me sit down but all I wanted to do was walk into that office with them, to understand what was happening."Andrew, baby, focus. I need you to look at me, please, it's important."Finally tearing my eyes away from the door I looked at my mother, worry stretched across her face making me tilt my head."What's happening? What's wrong?"I started to feel anxious when she placed her hand on mine to comfort me, something she hasn't done in this manner in years sending me bad dejavu vibes."First, I need you to remain calm, not just for your sake but for Freya's as well, okay."I nodded hesitantly at her, remain calm? This really can't be good if she's worried about me flying off the handle."Trevor was released on bail" My body tensed immediately as my eyes shifted back to the door then to my mother again
Freya's POV Everything happened so fast, one minute I'm running to my best friend because I'm overwhelmed by eveything, feeling useless and needing her to help calm my racing mind then the next moment rocked my whole world.Trevor was standing behind a winded Andrew, I tried to point, scared to speak, when i saw he was holding something in his hand, but i couldnt see what, then he was smashing the same object over Andrew's head, that's when I saw Andrew's legs buckle from under him before he fell hard onto the ground.I screamed at the sight, fear coursing through me when he ran at me, his hand slamming down over my mouth as he told me to shut my whore mouth stunning me into silence.We heard sirens, his head shot up looking in the direction of them, his eyes looked like they were glazed over as he contemplated his next move.His hand dropped from my mouth but he went to grip my wrist, when he did I kicked him as hard as I could then ran, I ran like my life depended on it.I heard hi
Freya's POV Continued Dad brought me home before we headed to the hospital so that I could shower then change my clothes incase we were there for a long time.I hesitated at my bedroom door when I called for my dad, he rushed up the stairs, breathing heavily as he looked at me."What's wrong!?""Can you, ummm, maybe go in my room first? My window was unlocked, I just, I don't know, I guess I'm scared to be alone right now."He placed his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it reassuringly before he opened the door, checking my room, closet, even under my bed before locking the windows up.I pointed to the bathroom making him smile at me before he went to check the bathroom, then for good measure, he checked Andrew's room as well."I didn't see anything, we should be okay but I can stay in your room while you shower, if that will keep your mind at ease."I nodded to him before hugging him around his waist while burying my face into his chest, I'm so thankful that I have my father in my lif
Andrew's POV I've been stuck sitting in this damn hospital wanting to leave, to go find her, to make sure she was okay.I was going stir crazy, my mom kept telling me that I needed to settle down, that taking care of me was of great importance because if I didn't stay calm I could make myself worse, then I wouldn't be well enough to go help with Freya.My heart sunk at the thought of what could possibly be happening to her, what he could be doing to her."Son, please, or they are going to want to give you a sedative but that could cause issues as well. Please, think about it, if you are this worried, imagine how she feels after watching you hit by someone she was willing to leave you for so he wouldn't hurt you.Imagine the fear from witnessing someone she cares for hurt, because of her.""It wasn't her fault!""Oh believe me, I know that, more than anything, I know this wasn't her fault. It was that boys fault, without a shadow of a doubt.What he has done, he's completely crazy, so
Freya's POV My entire melted into the kiss, our lips pressed so softly together, taking my breath away when his tongue delved into my mouth.The heat his body gave off as his hand slid up my back slowly causing my skin to pebble in his wake until he slipped his hand into my hair, tangling the strands within his fingers as he pulled my head back making my face tip up further to him as he deepened the kiss.There was so much passion in his kiss it made my knees weak, almost giving out when his other hand gripped around my waist, pushing our bodies flush against one another's as he held me steady.My mind was filling with the same butterflies that always consume my body making everything fade away around us, this moment in time pulling us deep within its walls forcing everything else away from us.When the kiss broke, his forehead leaning against mine as we both tried to catch our breathes, my eyes slowly fluttered open to see his sky blue ones looking at me, a small smile breaking out o
