Hey,
thanks for giving my story a chance Azure Shine. They're also my favorite couple. I will try my very best to make this a pleasant story for you. It's worth continuing a story as long as there is one person reading it so I actually planned on finishing it. It's just cruel to leave a story with potential unfinished. I have some chapters already done but my updating speed will decrease when I run out of pre-made chapters. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chelsea's P.O.V
A new morning a new chance. I put on my clothes and put on a newly washed bracelet. After a decent breakfast I go out and feed my animals and made the field, watered my plants.
The days continued and I started to talk to Vaughn with the intention of at least to be a bit nicer to him. Only because he is grumpy towards me doesn't mean I have to act like that towards him. The nightmares continued every night but lucky me I couldn't remember most of them.
It's already the end of summer and I was able to hold conversations with Vaughn that were actually enjoyable.
A diner had opened a few days ago. Vaughn and I had met on the way there and decided we could go there together. Some people we didn't know were also there. I looked at all of the people. There was this guy standing in a corner, holding a glass. He seemed somewhat familiar. I was just unable to grasp what it was that seemed so goddess damn familiar. "Well I am sorry Vaughn but I just changed my mind. I'll have dinner at home. Bye" I left quickly without another word. This feeling of familiarity is really bothering me right now.
It had already gone quite dark as I walked up to my ranch. This is freaking me out so much right now. Is someone following me? I start to walk a bit faster. I reached my farmhouse, I quickly sneak in and shut the door tightly. Imidiatly I close all the curtains. Only the thought of somebody looking through the window is something that makes me freakout and the moment a thought like this comes to my mind my fantasy will run wild making me a paranoid mess. I huddle myself up in a corner hoping that my fantasy quits. What are you afraid of Chelsea? Nobody has been following you! It's only your imagination and paranoia. Nothing else. And that guy... he only seemed familiar it does not have to be him.
At that moment somebody knocked at the door. I get up from the corner very slowly while trying not to make a sound.
At the door I look through the peeping hole. Thank goodness. I never thought I might ever have been this happy to see Vaughn standing at my door. Quickly I opened the door, pulled him inside and slammed the door shut once more. Securely locking it without giving a damn about Vaughns cute, baffled face. I had to pause for a moment before turning around to face Vaughn. Did I just call his face cute? We stare at each other for some time. Well he doesn't look that bad if I'm being honest.
He clears his throat. Dibbs his hat lower. "Mhm... May I ask what just happened?" Somehow this is cute. "Ho... You can ask what ever you want but if you get an answer... well thats something entirely different. But in this case, yes, you may know. You know paranoia. It makes me crazy sometimes. Hahaha..." Man this was just awkward right now. "Because it's dark and you were walking alone. Of course your fantasy gets out of hand. A woman should never walk home alone. At least not when it is this dark." Now I was stunned. He casually walked to the dining table and took of his hat to place it on the table allowing me to see all of his beautiful silver hair. He is really pretty for a boy. He also hung his west on the chair. Than he made himself comfortable on the sofa. I must have looked at him very strangely because he started to defend his current actions. "Your answer seemed like an excuse to not tell me what the actual problem is that's why I decided to stay here and make sure you're safe." I hope he does know it's rude to invite oneself but he's right. It's probably the safest with him around if I was not mistaken and the guy in the diner was actually him. "Yeah... Thnx Vaughn. Need a blanket and a pillow? I still got a spare one." "I'll just take the pillow. Thanks." He started to take off his shoes and did actually put them next to the door. I was so impressed that, there are still men who do that, that the pillow in my hand nearly fell to the floor. He is definatly not as bad as I thought.
I made myself ready for bed after I made sure Vaughn was really OK with staying here for the night. Tomorrow is the first day of autumn and I will have a lot of work to do. New seasonal plants. I'm really glad that I had upgraded my house. I went to sleep.
Vaughn's P.O.V
I jolted up and it took me some seconds to register what had awoken me. I took the torch and held the light towards the bed where Chelsea is sleeping. She was tossing and turning in her sleep while making some muffled noises. A...Nightmare? I slowly stood up and walked towards her. "Chelsea, wake up! It's only a dream. Nothing bad can happen to you." I startet to lightly stroke her hair. If I can't wake her up than I can at least try to soothe her a bit. What kind of horrible dream could such a happy girl have? But it is none of my business. She startet to slowly wake up.
Chelsea's P.O.V
I awoke to a worried Vaughn. "You alright?" I must have been loud in my sleep. "Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you."
"Not a problem. You seemed to have a really bad nightmare." He said with a slight hint of worry. "Actually I can't remember. It's always like this. I can't remember most of them."
That isn't a lie. But now even though I can't remember the dream I am certain that the guy from the diner is definatly him. He has the exact same black chin short hair. The same aura.
"Are you sure you're ok? You're kinda pale and spaced out."
"Oh... Yeah everything's alright. Nothing you would need to worry about."
"Okay... if you say so." He stood up slowly but did not move away from my bed. I don't know why, he's no threat but it somehow made me uncomfortable how he is standing there. He seems so tall even though I know he does no harm but still.
It took him 3 minutes until he sighed and proceeded to go back sleeping on the sofa.
I should stay awake until my alarm clock rings. I don't want him to wake up again because of me. That would be rude and he would probably be annoyed.
