10. My Own Personal Nightmare.
I was afraid to move, remembering the nightmare I had last night. He stood there looking beautiful as the bright sun shone down on him. He offered his hand out to me and I hesitated before taking hold of it. I convinced myself I was safe, especially with him. He ran down the beach and I struggled to keep up so he propped me up on his back and ran down to the waters edge. He took his shoes off, and rolled his trouser legs up. I stood watching as he walked into the water. I had nothing to be afraid of, it was only going up to my ankles. I gripped tightly onto my flip flops and cautiously made my way into the water. He held my hand as he walked further in, I refused to go any further though and he didn't push it.
"Are you okay?" He asked me as we walked hand in hand along the beach.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied. "Can you tell me what they were talking about now?" I asked, suddenly curious again.
"Can I tell you when we get back to the car?" He asked as he ran his hand through his hair awkwardly.
"Okay, but you have to tell me."
"I will. I promise." He said, staring deeply into my eyes. Something caught his eye, he gave me a small kiss.
"I'll be right back," and he ran off. Leaving me on the beach, watching the sun slowly set. I didn't see where he ran to and I tried to follow his steps but I couldn't see him so I turned around facing the sea. Watching the tide and the boats in the distance bob up and down. I heard footsteps behind me and a smiled appeared on my face. They put their hands over my eyes and I instantly knew they weren't Nicks. I went to scream but a hand moved from my eyes to my mouth, blocking the noise. They dragged me back, into bushes. My body froze. They wrapped a tie tightly around my mouth, making all my screams muffled. Ropes were tied tightly around my hands and feet. I couldn't move. I could hear Nick yelling my name and I tried to call his but I couldn't. I was living my own personal nightmare. I was unaware of the sweat that ran down my forehead or the silent tears that fell from my eyes. All I wanted was for my Prince Charming to come and save me. I was lifted up and placed in a car. They two guys stood outside the car, talking on the phone. My vision was blurry with the tears which I couldn't wipe away but I still saw him. He slowly approached the car and whipped the door open, carry me out. And then he ran. He ran and ran, right to the car. He sat me down outside the car and untied me. I wept into his chest while he apologised over and over again. He carried me into the backseat of the car and strapped me in and then he drove. He drove as far away as he could get away from the beach. He pulled over, locked all the doors and climbed in the back seat. It was midnight and pitch black. I was afraid to close my eyes and even left go of him. I clung on tightly to his shirt while he cradled me.
"Tell me all about Tennesse." Nick whispered into my ear as we sat in the backseat of the car. I sniffed and quickly dried the tears.
"I don't know where to start." I admitted.
"Mmm .. " He said. "You said you missed your horses. Did you go horse riding then?"
"Yeah," I said shocked, he remembered that I told him I missed my horses. "I went everyday. They were my birthday present from my mother when I was 5."
"What happened to her?" He asked silently.
"She got knocked over, by a drunk driver."
"I'm sorry, how long ago?" I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Coming up for two years." I said, remembering the night she got hit. It was all so vivid in my mind and I had to change the subject fast. "Let's play twenty questions." I said trying to make the mood more cheerful.
"Okay, do you want to go first?" He smiled at me.
"Yup, okay." I paused, thinking about what to ask him. "So, do you write a lot of songs?"
"Yes, and they're all about stuff I've experienced."
"Wow, can I hear some more?"
"Of course, but later." I nodded and thought of another question.
"Do you play any instruments then?"
"Yeah, I play guitar, drums and piano."
"Wow. Are you good?" I laughed.
"Of course." He winked. "I'm amazing." Then he laughed. "I have a guitar in my boot, I'll play for you sometime."
"You carry a guitar around?" I cringed back.
"Well yeah. You never know when you're going to run away with the most amazing gorgeous girl in the world." And he placed a gentle kiss on my lips.
"Okay .. " I said giggling. "If you say so."
"Next one," he demanded and clicked his fingers together.
"Okay. Calm down." I said shaking my head. "I give up."
"Are you tired?" He tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear.
"A bit yeah," I said rubbing my eyes.
"Sleep beautiful," he said lying me down.
"Stay with me," I begged as he made his way into the front. He nodded and lay beside me. I shivered as a cool breeze creeped into the car. He pulled a the blankets out the bag and shirt. He placed the shirt around my shoulders and I wriggled my arms into it. His cool breath hit my face, making me gasp and it sent a shiver down my spine. He reached for my hand and intwined his fingers between mine, while his other arm was wrapped around my waist. Keeping me safe. I never wanted to be let out of his grip.
"Nick?" I whispered in the dark, wondering if he was still awake.
"Yeah gorgeous," he replied.
"Nothing. It doesn't matter." I said, shutting my eyes but they flew open. Terror was wiped across my face. It was visible in the dark cause Nick pulled me closer to him.
"Shh, it's okay. No one's going to hurt you. Don't worry. I will never leave you out of my sight ever again. No one will ever harm you again." He soothed into my ear.
"Do you promise? Will you make it stop? Everything the dreams, the fear?" I sobbed.
"Everything. It will all go away, I promise. I will try my hardest. You are my life now." He promised.
