This is just a little idea for a story I had in my head today, so I just had to write it out and I really hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Secret Life of the American Teenager or the characters. If I did, I wouldn't be on fanfiction.

~~~ Sleeping Beauty ~~~

Adrian's POV:

Sleeping has become my favorite past time nowadays.

In my sleep , I can dream.

Dream of her.

Dream of my life with her.

Dream of a better future with her in it.

In my dreams of the future, I can hold her close and feel her tiny heart beat in her chest. I can hear her whisper "mommy" in the dark of the night as she has a nightmare and I run to go save her. Oh, how I wish I could have saved her. My little girl. My pride and joy. But God had a different path for her I guess. I'd like to think he took her away because she was too good for this life, so she was taken to move onto the next. However, when he took my little angel to heaven, he sent me into my own personal hell . So now, as I wish I could have her here with me whispering "mommy" as I saved her from the monsters in the closet, I now sit here hearing the taunting whisper of "mommy" in my little girl's scared voice as the monsters of my past attack me.

This is why I can't stay awake. I have to sleep in order to take care of her and escape the haunting memories and the taunting voices I keep hearing. This is why I'll become like Sleeping Beauty. I'll lock myself away from the world, so that no one can get to me and that no one can ever hurt my little girl, even if she is just a dream now. I'll sleep and dream and make my own world. A better world. A world that includes Mercy.

I have to sleep, I have to visit her now, but Ben won't let me ! He keeps taking me away from her ! Why is it that I'm losing her, again ? It's not fair, but that's life. So much for being Sleeping Beauty, huh?

Maybe that's because you're the one locked away from the evils of the world. And you're the one who's beauty is forever. And you're the one who is now sleeping eternally. So sleep tight, my love. Oh, my precious baby, have sweet dreams. Dream while you can. Mommy will come to you someday, but for now, God has different plans for us. My little angel, my baby, my precious, my Mercy.

Goodnight, my Sleeping Beauty.
