Hayden's POV
Earlier that day after our kiss we had decided she would come watch a movie in my two bedroom apartment. Complete with a kitchen,tv,and bathroom. Courtesy of Starkey, frankly the only courtesy he has ever shown me. It didn't feel real until I heard her knock on the door though. Up until then there was a part of me thinking she would stand me up. I called for her to walk in,and she came in with two braids,black leggings,and her stork issued grey sweatshirt. Man she looked good in anything. "You know you didn't have to knock if you come in I will just assume it's you." "Oh okay." Is all she responded with. I could tell by her voice she was nervous enough to make me wonder if she had ever been on a date before. " You look great,but there is one change I would make though." I said to her. " Wh wh what is it?" She looked at herself frantic that she did something wrong. "Well I have this extra sweatshirt." I say laying the flirting on thick. "Oh." She says clearly relieved there was nothing wrong with her appearance. I throw my grey sweatshirt to her the only difference between hers and mine is that mine says commander on it,because I run the kitchen. Then she gets up,and goes to the bathroom to change.
Addison's POV
As I change into his sweatshirt I can't help,but smile at that fact that I am actually on a date. When I walk out he asks me what movie I want to watch,and I tell him I don't care. Careful not to mention I have only ever seen like two movies. I crawl into his bed as it starts,and he pulls me close. Then he whispers in my ear. "I know this is soon,bu love you." In that moment I could not contain the tears. I ran from his room,and into the spare. I roll up in the dark corner,and cried until I hear Hayden come in. "Hey Addie what's wrong was it something I said?" He sits right next to me,and pulls me into a hug. "No it was nothing that you said it's just no one has ever told me they loved me before." I say to him finally letting the truth out. " I'm so sorry I didn't realise I never would have." I cut him off. " No no it's okay I love you two." Even in the dark I can see his smile after that.
Hayden's POV
After Addie said those words I could not contain my joy. " Alright then let's go finish the movie." I say trying to change the mood from sad the happy. Addie stands up,but then I scoop her up like a baby run to my room and throw her on the bed. " What was that for?" She says smiling and laughing. "Oh nothing." I respond with my famous smirk on my face. Then I jump on to the bed. " Wait what are you going to?" Her question is cut off by her laughter as I tickle her on her ribs,and underneath her chin. " Stooooooop!" She says threw a mouth full of giggles. " I will stop if you promise to give me a kiss." "Fine." She groans as she moves her lips close to mine then starts to tickle me. I jump into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. "Oh my gosh your squealing!" She exclaims as she continues to tickle me.
Addison's POV
After we finish our tickle war Hayden kisses me then we go back to watching the movie. Although we can't really hear it over the conversations,and jokes we are telling. Before very long my eyes drip down,and I fall asleep to the sound of my boyfriends heartbeat.
Hayden's POV
About an hour after our tickle war Addie has fallen asleep on my chest. Careful not to wake her up I lay her on my pillow,and hug her as I drift off to sleep. About two hours later a wake up to a blood chilling screams. " NO NO NO PLEASE NO! I KNOW IT'S MY FAULT EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY I'M SO SORRY! I KNOW I'M BEING TOO LOUD BUT PLEASE DON'T HURT ME PLEASE!" I look down at her,and find she is yelling in her sleep. "Hey hey hey it's okay you're okay i'm right here no one is going to hurt was all a dream it was just a dream" I try my best to comfort her,but it only makes her angry. "I'm fine don't talk to me like that I am fine I don't like when people think i'm weak I can handle myself okay!" The defensiveness in her voice tells me not to question it more,but I know I have to ask her friends in the morning.
By the time I am ready to go down to start prepping breakfast Addie had just woken up. Which I was secretly grateful for. It gave me just enough time to ask her friends what was really going on.
Madison's POV
When I see my best friend's hot boyfriend walk in without her I can tell there is something on his mind. When he spots our table he walks towards it with a mission. "Hi." He says to all of us. "What can I do you for?" I ask,because clearly he is here for a purpose. "Do you guys know what Addie's nightmares are about?" With that one question all of our hearts sink. Everyone looks down with sadness,but I am the first one to say anything. " When Addie was storked her family made it clear they did not want her. Her bedroom was one of their bigger closets. She had to do all the cooking,cleaning,and did everything herself with no love in return. But the reason she screams is because anytime she did something wrong they would beat her. Then complain that she was screaming to loud." I see that he gets my point so I stop before I start crying. "I I see." Says Hayden and with that I can tell he will take good care of my best friend.
