A/N: I know this chapter is short but ill have another up review it helps

Quinn's POV

We cuddled all night but something kept me awake.
I stood up and put the t-shirt on just incase niki's mom walks in.

I never really thought about how much I loved cuddling with niki.
Maybe it was because it was her she was so gentle with me.

She was like a total badass at school but when it was just us she she was sweet.

I decided I would go put my hair in a bun so I walked into her bathroom.

I found her brush and a picture. It was a picture of her and I.
At school by our lockers, hugging. And next to it was a picture of me kissing her on the cheek outside the mall.

I smiled at the thought we had always been close how had our relationship not happened sooner?

Then I noticed a few more pictures just brittney and niki, britt niki and I.

I finally did my hair and then I looked at my phone noticing it was 4:00am

I decided to wake niki just barely.

"Hey baby, you wanna stay home from school today and just chill?"

"Sure babe, but first." She kissed me softly.

The before we were about to lay down I whispered

"Can we take a picture...of us right now...kissing?"

She looked confused but she nodded and smirked

"Any reason to kiss you!"

She leaned in and I held up my phone and I kissed her.

I took the picture and threw down my phone.

I gripped her waist, pulled her in and kissed her.

She leaned into my touch . then she rapped her hands around my waist and we went back to sleep.

I knew her birthday was coming up. So all the pictures in her bathroom I thought I'd add another.

Now that I think about it she always had her camera in her backpack.

My girlfriend a camera nerd. I didn't see it coming but I love it.

Niki's POV

Quinn's look in her eyes was so longing, when she asked for the picture.

I didn't question it because I love pictures.
It's like a secret obsession.

I guess she thought I was asleep because she finally settled in my arms and started breathing shallowly.

I couldn't help but think how beautiful she was right in this moment so I I reached over and grabbed my camera and took a picture of her sleeping in my arms.

Soon after I fell asleep.

She woke me up but, not on purpose she kept moving and whispering

Then she whispered again, " stop no daddy...sorry."

What would she be sorry for and why would her dad have to stop?

I was just going to let her keep going but then she started weeping.

So I shook her lightly "baby wake up your having night mares...w-why are you crying and what about your d-dad?"

I almost bursted when she hugged me and began sobbing on my shoulder.

"I-I just he...he hit me and then laughed about it...so he kept hitting me."

That's all I could make out of her sobbing, but I was pissed .

That mother fucker hit her.

I had to be strong for her.

"Baby shhh... It's gonna be ok he can't hurt you I have you now you can stay with me."

She sniffled and looked up she whispered " what happens when I go home ."

" I won't let him you don't have to go home." I reassured her.

She nodded and placed her head on my shoulder after kissing my cheek.
