Nothing much to say really.

Well...enjoy :-)

...

Taryn woke up the next morning by the sound of her alarm playing her favorite metal band. She went to the nightstand and turned off the phone, her head falling back on the pillows. It felt weird sleeping all alone. At the same time though, she kind of liked it. She did it 24/7 on the road and on different shows, but the difference was that at the end of the night whenever she could make it home, it was next to her husband.

How much she missed that man was an understatement. It was a no brainer that her marriage was indeed failing. She was sure it felt like everything was her fault. All she wanted to do was make him proud of her, to make him happy. Of course it seemed like nothing was working.

She wouldn't give up though. They loved each other since high school and they have been married for almost 3 years now. Something had to give. Especially since she really loved Stefan so much. She was even surprised he was interested in her when they had first met.

Anyway, she knew what today was. It would be the first day of her therapy session.

She was so thrilled to be going- Not.

She sat up and slipped on a pair of slippers as she saw her dog still sleeping. She went ahead to the bathroom and saw that Seth's bedroom door was still closed.

She grabbed a toothbrush and started brushing her teeth and started to wash her face before heading to the shower. She wanted to kill two birds with one stone so she figured why not.

She heard whimpering and she jumped slightly, being startled by the sound. She looked down beside her on the sink and saw it was Kevin; Seth's Yorkie dog.

She rinsed her mouth out with water and finished it with mouthwash as she wiped her mouth. She heard Kevin whimper again as he looked at her, licking his paw.

"Hey boy. Are you hungry?" She bent down to scratch behind his ears as he licked her hand.

"Well, I know Seth isn't awake yet. Therapy isn't until 10, and its only 8:30. So why don't I get you something to eat?" She smiled as she beckoned for the dog to follow her down the steps.

As she went into the kitchen, she found the bag of dog food and poured it into a bowl for him as Kevin started munching on it. She then started to make coffee as well as starting on breakfast.

After 10 minutes, Seth came down the steps as he saw Taryn over the stove cooking, making some bacon and scrambled eggs with some toast. Seth took a minute to stare at the way her body was shaped in her black robe. It was covered all the way down to her feet so her legs wouldn't show.

But that didn't stop the way her ass was poking out. Come to think of it, Taryn never showed any skin unless she had on her ring gear. Other than that, she kept herself mostly covered.

As she turned around to make the plates, she jumped, startled by Seth's appearance.

"Jesus, I need to put a bell around you, Lady Gaga." She scowled at him.

"For someone whose trying to insult me, you're going to have to do better than that." He smirked as he picked a piece of bacon off her plate.

She smacked his hand away. "You have your own, you greedy pig."

Seth munched on his bacon and shrugged. "I like to have more."

"So I've heard."

Seth fought the urge to snicker as she gave him his coffee as she sipped on hers. It was a comfortable silence as they both ate with Seth grinning at her.

"What?" She muffled, her mouth full of food.

"You look different today..." He commented.

"Well I did just wake up...and I fed Kevin, since he was hungry and all." She pointed to the Yorkie as he was almost done with his food.

Seth chuckled as he picked him up. "Kevin eats a lot."

"Not like my Oreo." She giggled. "I could give him two bags of food and he will still find a way to dig into my lunch for my turkey sandwich. He actually did that when I was going to school."

They both laughed as Seth drank more of his coffee. "That's nothing; My brother played a trick on Kevin and mixed his bowl of dog water with a few cups of vodka. I kicked his ass when I figured out Kevin was drunk but it was still funny overall."

"I never knew how much you loved Kevin. I see you take him almost everywhere you go." She smirked.

"Well not everywhere." He rolled his eyes.

"You took him with you to football practice one time for good luck, which was no need for. I mean, I figured you were already good in sports anyway."

"Hey! I am." He got offended.

"Oh don't be so sensitive." She poked his cheek as he rolled his eyes once more.

As they got around to sharing more funny stories, getting back into the comfort level, Taryn looked at the time as she sighed heavily, knowing it was getting closer to that time for her therapy.

"Taryn...its not going to be so bad." Seth's voice brought her out of her thoughts. He already knew she was thinking about the therapy, and was in constant denial of having any issues.

"Easy for you to say. I still won't forgive you for blabbing off to Stephanie and Hunter." She got off the barstool as she went upstairs to go take a shower.

Seth knew there was no point in arguing with her. He just wished he could make her understand that he was actually trying to help her.

"Why are you helping someone who doesn't want help in the first place? Why keep pushing it if there is no way of moving to it?" His inner voice tried to ask this several times in his head to the point where he wanted to bang it up against the wall.

It was simple. He just had to. He had to try, no matter how much she would try to put up a fight about it.

And he knew good and well it was coming once they got to the location.

...

They made it to the building as Taryn was quiet during the whole car ride. He thought about maybe riling her up, just to get her to talk but thought better against it, not wanting an argument to start. It was only two days and so far things were actually peaceful between the two, despite the fact that Seth still kept denying his so called lust for her.

He could admit, maybe he's called Taryn ugly in the past but in reality, she was attractive, undeniably beautiful. He just didn't find her his type to say the least. He thought Zahra was his type.

Or at least he thought he did until she turned out to be nothing more than an annoying habit that he had to break.

He turned off the engine to his Escalade as he looked at her. She still stared out the window, her arms folded as she crossed her legs in the white jeans she was sporting.

"Let's just get this over with." She exited the vehicle.

Seth didn't say a word as he followed her to the building, where they went inside the elevator and then entered the 4th floor.

She went up to the receptionist to sign in.

"Ok, Ms. Valerie will be out in the next 5 minutes to come see you, Ms. Hilton." The receptionist smiled at her.

Taryn gave her a small smile which didn't exactly meet the mood she was having as she sat down next to Seth. In five minutes, a tall thin blonde woman came out with glasses and smiled when she saw Taryn.

"You must be Taryn Hilton." She shook her hand. "My name is Valerie. And you are.." She addressed Seth Rollins.

"Seth Rollins; He's my co-worker." Taryn stated as Seth huffed, following behind them.

"You also forgot Future of the WWE and Mr. Money In The Bank." He added, increasing more of his ego, to which irritated Taryn even further.

"Don't push it, stupid." She growled.

"Well I can't forget that, now can I?" Valerie smiled. "You are one of the greatest WWE superstars ever."

Taryn could have sworn that Valerie was blushing at the fact that Seth Rollins was next to her. For someone who was suppose to be a professional, she was acting more like a love sick puppy and it made Taryn want to throw up the breakfast she had earlier.

"What is it with all the women coming onto Seth nowadays? It's not like he's made out of liquid gold or something!" Her stomach was twisting in knots in the short sleeve turtleneck she was sporting.

They went into her office as Taryn made herself comfortable on the couch, crossing her legs as Valerie sat across from her, with her notepad and pen.

"Ok, just to be clear if you're going to ask me about ink blots or something I am not in the mood for that." Taryn made it very clear to her. "With all due respect, I just don't think I need this."

"I know this is something very hard to talk about, Ms. Hilton. But know that this is a step in the right direction and to healing yourself." Valerie smiled warmly. "Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself? What were your dreams?"

"Honestly I have everything I ever wanted. I have a wonderful career as a WWE Women's Wrestler, a loving marriage and a good family with people who love me." She shrugged.

Everything seemed to be going OK with the therapy session. Seth even put on his ear buds as he didn't want to invade in her privacy. Of course, whatever Valerie said to Taryn had upset her as she had left in the middle of her session, storming out.

Seth snatched his earphones out as he went to go follow Taryn as she went to the back entrance of the steps.

"Taryn...Taryn wait!" He called after her but she kept moving, pretty quickly as she had made it outside.

"Taryn, stop running!" He grabbed her hand as she snatched it away from him.

"Just stop it Seth! I want my husband and this therapy session is a bunch of BS. I'll call an Uber but I am not going back there!" She dialed up her phone but Seth grabbed it as Taryn started to fight him for it.

"Give me back my phone, you idiot or I'm going to turn you into a human pretzel!" She screeched.

"Stop it, Taryn! For fucks sake!" He yelled at her.

"God, I'll find a cab by myself. Screw you! You're not my fucking babysitter!" She yelled right back as she stormed off. Seth was too determined. He wouldn't let up.

"God, Seth can't you understand I don't need help?" Taryn defended herself, her anger visibly clear all over her and in her eyes as if she was ready to huff and puff and blow a house down.

Or in this case, she was going to be hurricane Taryn as Seth kept pushing her.

"You do need the help, Taryn. Stop with this denial bullshit!" He followed her down the street

"I'm not fucking psychotic, Seth. In spite what you think, I am a normal human being." She glared at him, ready to attack him for his judgmental crap. In her mind, she felt like everyone was judging her for her cutting.

"I never said you were psychotic."

Taryn just couldn't understand why he was trying so hard to get her help. Why was he even in her business? It had nothing to do with him in the first place.

"You just won't leave it alone, will you?" She kept walking away from him as they were heading near the park.

"No, I won't. I can't." He shook his head.

"Why? Why won't you just let me do what I do? It helps me. I don't need anyone, especially like you to pretend that you give two shits about me."

"That's not true."

"Then why won't you just leave me be then?!"

"Because I'm not going to fucking lose you, so get over it!" He confessed, letting his emotions take over. "I'm not going to make that mistake again."

It was then that Seth had let out a secret of his own, to which had Taryn's attention as she looked at him carefully.

"What do you mean again?" She turned the tables on him, questioning him.

Seth sat on the park bench tables as Taryn looked at him carefully, her arms crossed and the expression on her face was demanding an explanation as to why he has been on her case ever since what happened to her.

Seth sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. Maybe it was time to tell her. After all, no one really knew what happened. Not even Dean and Roman and they were his closest friends.

"It happened back in sophomore year. One of my old friends was coming to see me." He clasped his hands together, trying to figure out how to explain it to her. "I never knew there was anything wrong with her. She was always so happy and sweet. I really cared about her. And then..."

"Then what..." She pressed on a little.

"I got a call from her mother the next day because I had plans to hang out with her, for us to go to the movies and to catch up. She told me that she had committed suicide. It started with her cutting. And then...how'd she died.."

Seth looked up at Taryn with haunted eyes. "She just kept cutting herself over and over, letting herself bleed out, not getting any help and even lying to everyone that she was OK and that she was happy."

Taryn couldn't believe it. No wonder Seth was so emotional with wanting to help her. She triggered a memory that she didn't even know happen.

"Did she ever go to our school..." She sat on the bench with him.

"No. She dropped out of school to be honest." He chuckled softly. "Said that she was smarter than them. She always liked to joke about how she wasn't fit for school, thought she wasn't smart enough. She said she would do something else with her life."

"Seth..." Taryn softened towards him suddenly.

"She was just so happy...I didn't understand..." He closed his eyes, remembering the image of his closet friend as he stopped by her house that one day, her parents were crying as the coroners had taken her body after they presumed her dead. Seth had felt like everything around him had shut down.

"I'm sorry..." She suddenly rubbed his back. "I know how it feels to lose someone, trust me."

"Yeah...I know about what happened with your mom." He could see the pain in her eyes after he spoke about it. "I'm sorry I didn't..."

"It's OK. It's still been pretty hard being without her." Taryn sighed, looking out into the view of the trees and the grass blowing with the wind. Taryn picked up a dandelion as she blew into it.

"So I guess that's why you've been on my ass as of lately." She chuckled as she tossed the dandelion.

"Not completely..." He smirked a little. "But yeah...for the most part."

"Valerie had asked me what my biggest fears were as a child. That's the part where I actually lived them, you know? Being without my mom. And don't even get me started on my dad, sperm donor." She shook her head with disgust, trying to block out the painful memory to what he did to her as a child.

"I never knew my biological dad either. He abandoned my mom when she became pregnant with me." He looked her as he took the dandelion, blowing it as well. "All I had was her, my brother and my stepdad."

"Did it feel strange...not knowing your biological dad for years now?" Taryn couldn't help but to pry into his personal life.

"Yeah in a strange way. But then I quickly got over it. My step dad is my hero now and to be honest, I mostly got my last name from him." He smiled at her.

Taryn started to find that his smile was actually...beautiful.

"Snap out of it, you're married!" Her brain hissed at her.

"Well...I better go finish the session before the Valerie cheerleader has a heart attack and calls for you like some stupid damsel in distress." Taryn grumbled as she got off the bench, heading back to the building, with Seth catching up to her.

Seth didn't want to say it, but he could have sworn that Taryn was a little bit jealous of her. After all, even throughout the first ten minutes, Valerie kept staring at Seth as she was biting her lip at him.

"Come on, don't tell me you're jealous of Valerie." he chuckled, finding it adorable.

Taryn rolled her eyes at that statement. "Don't be ridiculous. It's just pathetic that she's batting her eyes at you when she's suppose to be helping me. I mean, seriously, didn't you even notice that?"

"Honestly, no."

"Oh, get real, Rollins."

"She's not my type." They walked back into the building as they reached the elevator.

"How? She's tall, thin, pretty blue eyes and she has that bubbly personality." She pointed out the features that were deemed perfect for any man to have.

"To be honest, that's not really my style. I don't go for broomsticks. I like a woman with curves anyway. Something I can hold onto and give me more access to touch." He spoke as if that was just a normal thing to say.

"Well, hopefully you'll find the right woman. If Valerie and Zahra weren't in your category." The elevator pinged, signaling their stop.

Seth watched as she walked in front of him.

"I'm pretty sure I will." He muttered to himself.

...

The rest of the 20 minutes of therapy was awkward but it got by faster than she thought. Taryn made small talk and Valerie didn't seem to pressure her. She wasn't ready to talk about what had happened to her that night, nor she ever would anyway. It was meant to stay buried and that's just how it was going to stay.

After they had signed out, Taryn got a call from her music producer, Brandi.

"Hey Brandi, what's up?" Seth and her went through the door as they headed to his Escalade.

"We have to work on your new song so we can also talk about how you want to do your video." Brandi beamed, already excited to be helping to produce the video that Taryn has been wanting nothing more than to launch.

Taryn's eyes had brightened. "I'll be there at the studio...umm..I don't know if you know Seth Rollins but he'll be coming with me. He's uhhh..my co worker."

"Oh that's no problem. As long as he doesn't disturb you."

Brandi then hung up as Taryn sighed, getting into the vehicle. Seth knew that Taryn did music and even released a few songs but never actually heard her sing in person.

"So, we're heading to the studio?" He stopped at the red light, knowing they would be 30 minutes away.

"Yeah. Just to practice." Taryn said sheepishly, rubbing her temples just to relax her nerves.

Her cell phone rang again and this time, she saw it was Stefan calling. She was so happy as she picked up on the first ring, not even noticing the look on Seth's face.

"Hey sweetheart." She smiled.

"Wait, you're OK?" He sounded surprised.

"Um, yes of course I'm OK sweetheart, why wouldn't I be?" She was thrown off by his unusual behavior.

"Oh no, no reason. Just that I know I've been busy and I know after that horrific incident. I just wanted to make sure everything was taken care of."

"Um yes I-" She was cut off abruptly by Stefan.

"Ok well, get bed rest. Don't be out too long. I want you to get lots and lots of it. Love you."

"Wait, sweetheart gotta go to the studio today." She protested.

"I said to get some rest, Taryn. I'm your husband and you need to listen to me." He ordered her, trying not to get irritated.

"Stefan I'm sorry...but I would like to go to the studio today. I'll call you later. I love you." She said gently as she ended the call to him. It was important for her to get her next album out with the songs that she had been working so hard on.

Why did he sound so surprised that she was alright after her seizure? It was strange to say the least.

"That sucks." Seth replied with a dry tone.

"Yeah. He must have had a busy morning. He is a high corporate lawyer after all." She smiled, proud of Stefan and his work.

"Yeah, a real winner." He thought in his mind sarcastically.

There was something seriously wrong with this guy but he just couldn't put his finger on it. At least he knew for the time until Stefan got back from his trip, then Taryn would be safe and relaxed.

...

They had made it into the studio as Brandi squealed, seeing Seth Rollins. She was a huge WWE fan and was happy to see him, but immediately got right down to business with Taryn as she was performing her new song called. "Into The Lights."

The song started to play a slow melody which had sounded happy and sad at the same time. Taryn closed her eyes, getting into the feeling of the melody, letting it take over her.

At first Seth wasn't really paying that much attention, letting her get into her zone when it came into her music. Of course that had changed in a second when she hit that high note to perfection. Seth was stunned.

Maybe stunned wasn't even the word for it. He was impressed. Her voice was beautiful and sounded so sweet. He could hear the sadness in her tone though as she sung the lyrics.

She sounded incredible and never even realized it up until now.

"Ok where the hell is she?" They all heard a shrill voice as a woman with blonde hair barged into the studio.

Taryn sighed, seeing it was Alice. Of course, she was wondering what was she even doing here in the first place?

She was wearing a mint green feather dress with her stylish expensive heels and her blonde hair was in curls. She would look even more beautiful if she didn't have a bitter expression all over her facial features.

"Taryn! Will you get out the damn studio and get out here, you dumb ass bimbo?" She snapped.

"Who the fuck do you think you are coming in here?" Brandi glared at her, ready to step up to the blonde spoiled brat.

"I am Alice Hilton. The richest woman and will easily ruin your whole life if you even speak to me like that ever again!" Her blue eyes icey with hatred as she pushed past to grab Taryn by her arm.

"My brother Stefan sent me here to get you. Apparently you are out here, doing some stupid awful song that you know will never be noticed. Now get your ass in the car or I'm going to drag you."

"Ow, get off me, Alice." Taryn moved away from her, rubbing her arm. "I'll get some rest, but Stefan knows how much this-"

"I don't give a shit. No one does. You're nothing but some poor little freak so just shut up, stop being a dumb little bimbo whore and get your ass in the fucking car!" She shoved Taryn to the door.

Seth then stepped in front of the door, glaring at Alice.

"She's not going anywhere and you don't have the right to touch her." He stood behind Taryn.

"Seth, it's ok..." Her whole mood changed dark, sadness taking over as though she was use to the kind of treatment she was getting from her.

And enough was enough. He didn't give a fuck if she was rich or the fact that she was Stefan's sister, which is Taryn's sister in law.

"Who the fuck are you? Oh are you some homeless man or something?" She sneered. "Obviously from how you look, you must be gay and poor."

Seth just kept his calm composure, not even fazed by her cruel insults, as he was known for dishing it right back.

"Honestly, I think I can figure out why you are such a bitch to Taryn and well, just a bitch in general." He retorted. "No, honestly, bitch wouldn't even fit the definition for you. More like a cunt in this case."

"Excuse me?" Her eyes almost popped out of her sockets from the way she was called out her name.

"Mind if I have a word with you, outside? I'm sure we can discuss this like adults." He smiled as Alice glared at him.

Brandi and Taryn couldn't hear a word they were saying as Seth did most of the talking. In about 15 minutes later, Alice went back into the room as she was sobbing, grabbing her purse as she ran out, her makeup all over her face that was smudged wet with tears.

"Whoa...whatever you said to her, she started bawling like a little baby bitch." Brandi smirked, tossing back her brown hair, highlighted with red streaks.

"What did you say to her?" Taryn looked at Seth, curiously as no one had ever made Alice cry. She was the ice princess. She was known to make anyone cry, not the other way around.

Seth just grinned as he thought back to the conversation.

...

*Earlier*

Seth crossed his arms as Alice slammed the door.

"You fucking piece of shit! Wait until I get my daddy on you, he's going to make sure you are out of a job! Now take back what you said before I make you." She growled, her fist balled up.

"No. Not going to do that. Because its the truth. Among other things." He glared at her.

"You see Alice, I don't know all about you but from what I've heard and just seen, you are the walking definition of a cunt and I'm going to tell you why. The reason why you think you're better than everyone is because you hate looking at yourself in the mirror because all you see is a washed up whore. So you bully Taryn as well as everyone else because by the time you get into your 30s, you're going to be used up from the Botox you've been injecting, the fake implants, and the fact that you've been probably been fucking every man you've ever been with. You are just about the ugliest stuck up bitch ever inside and out and torn just about raggedy and out that not even your own daddy and his money would want to fuck you and no one wants to be around you. No one likes you and no one gives a shit about you. You have a bright future ahead of you as a prostitute in training. Not even your own husband wants to fuck you and from what I've heard, he's been fucking around on you with another man." He finished.

He left Alice stunned, her body shook with rage, anger and embarrassment all over. She had not one bitchy comeback for Rollins as he had practically owned her and everything about her.

"But hey, that's none of my business. Oh and get your purse and leave Taryn the fuck alone." He walked back into the room as Alice then burst into tears...

Seth just grinned a little as Taryn shook her head.

"You shouldn't have done that.." She sighed, seeing as how things were going to get worse for her when Stefan found out.

But for right now, she loved how Alice finally got a taste of her own medicine.

"But...thank you.." She gave him a faint smile as she headed back to the studio as Brandi and the other producers came in, ready to start on the track again.

"Alright! Let's take this from the top once more." Brandi turned on the song as Taryn put on her headphones.

It was later that night as Zahra was with her friends, drinking away her sorrows at the club.

"That son of a bitch! He kicked me out and now he has the nerve to even think he's going to forget about me?" She slammed her beer down in anger.

"Well if you think that's bad." Liv Morgan, her best friend and WWE NXT wrestler said as she pulled up on her smartphone.

"Evidently, rumor has it that Seth and Taryn are starting to warm up to each other ever since she had that seizure." Liv added fuel to Zahra's fire.

"That bitch should have been dead. It would have been one hell of a celebration, anyway." She downed her beer, jealousy throbbing in her.

"I thought since freshman year, you were trying so hard to keep them apart. I mean, Seth doesn't know about that-"

"No, he doesn't!" She shushed her annoyingly loud best friend. "And you need to keep your fucking mouth shut. Word gets around fast and if he finds out, then I'm going to lose everything. I just don't believe this crap. No way Seth is into Taryn like that. He still loves and cares about me. Pretty soon, after he's done with this dumb ass title run, he'll be begging to take me back."

"Are you sure? I mean, no offense but he was pretty cutthroat about the two of you-"

"I said he and I will get back together, Liv. Damn it, just support me for once!" She slammed her beer down after finishing a second one as she joined yet another guy out on the dance floor.

As much as Liv hate to admit it, Seth was moving on and was pretty sure that it wouldn't be Zahra again. But she knew her friend more than anything and knew that she was going to go into her dirty bag of tricks to get the weird bitch Taryn out the way.

She would help her no matter what, seeing as how she loved to be a part of the bullying when it came to Taryn. She would definitely work on finding any dirt on Taryn no matter what it took.

12:45am

It was pouring down rain, thunder and lightening booming into the sky, making a crackling noise to where it almost woke up Kevin and Oreo.

Taryn and Seth were in their rooms, trying to get some sleep.

Taryn tossed her head back and forth, the dreams still invading her mind once more, making her beautiful mental state even worse.

"No...stop it...please stop it!" She whimpered, crying.

"No...God no...NO!" She started sweating all over, her t shirt sticking to her skin, rolling around in her bed as it startled Oreo. He was seeing Taryn having a nightmare. One that she felt like she couldn't wake out of.

She was dreaming of the rape; Her father's rape, then the gang rape, and the way they had bullied her. To what she had done, becoming a monster. An anti-hero, but the monster that no one recognized, not even herself.

She was dreaming of the shame that was brought down onto her family, being abandoned and alone. She felt hands touching her skin and she fought with everything in her system to get him off of her.

"Get off me! Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" She screamed, tossing around in her bed, crying.

"Taryn, Taryn it's ok. Just wake up!" She heard that voice.

She suddenly woke up and saw it was Seth next to her. She left her door cracked open and Seth must have heard her screaming across from his room.

She jumped, startled and shaking with intensity, her sweat covering over her skin like a blanket. She started rocking back and forth, closing her eyes.

"He's here. He's here...he's going to hurt me, I know it." She said in a whisper, on the verge of tears.

Seth wrapped his arms around her as he held her, to calm her down, trying to slow down her heart rate.

"It's ok. Just breathe. Remember? That's all you have to do is breathe." He touched her back as she held onto him like a helpless baby, all alone in the dark.

Taryn looked at him as she saw how he was still tired, his hair was a mess and he was shirtless. But she could see in his brown eyes he was genuinely worried about her.

"No one is going to hurt you, ok?" He whispered to her, wiping the sweat off her forehead. "It's ok. You were having one hell of a dream."

"I can't...I'm so scared...I'm scared to be alone..." She gasped, feeling as though her throat was closing up as she trembled from the nightmare.

"Shh...Shhh, just breathe, look at me Taryn." He said in a stern manner as he cupped her face. "Look at me and just breathe slowly."

Taryn did as instructed as her heart rate went back to normal. All was there was the sound of rain outside the bedroom window.

"Do you want me to stay with you in here tonight?" He asked her as he found himself stroking her dark hair.

Taryn nodded wordlessly.

Seth got under the covers as he pulled her next to him as she found herself resting her head on his chest. He then rubbed her back soothing her as he started to play some music on his smartphone.

It was Parkway Drive and Taryn actually found it soothing, liking the way the beat was keeping her calm.

"Better?" He asked her quietly.

"...Thank you...and you look messy and have a weird beard." She yawned as she chuckled, to which he started laughing.

"Just get some sleep, troll." He teased her.

"...Shut up, Skunk Rollins." She hugged onto him tight as he caressed her back, both of them falling asleep as they held each other.

From the first time, Taryn actually slept through the night, the nightmares not coming back for a minute.
