Sonny gripped onto Chad's hand as they walked through his door, smiling at him a little when they finally sat down. She sighed and closed her eyes, trying her best to avoid the pain she was feeling.

Chad noticed her bite down on her lip, knowing that she was still trying to hide the pain he knew was rushing through her body with every move she made. He frowned and then put his hand in hers,

"You should go to bed, I will be up soon." She nodded, trying her best to stand up and smile at him. He sighed and then shook his head, taking her hand again and helping her up the stairs.

"Are you okay on your own?" Chad asked softly as he put her on his bed, kissing her gently on the forehead – making sure to avoid all the bruises and cuts. She nodded and squeezed his hand, closing her eyes a little as she settled down on the bed. Chad nodded and kissed her again, closing the door behind him and sighing.

Sonny sat up when he closed the door, shutting her eyes as tears poured down her face. She could feel her whole body shaking as she thought about those men, the gun, the constant shouting, everything.

She felt a sob about to escape, slamming her hand over her mouth to make sure Chad didn't hear her. She hated it when she saw the worry in his eyes, she hated the fact that she felt the need to be by him just to make herself feel safe.

Tears ran down her face heavily, her body trembled fiercely, her hand barely managed to muffle her loud sobs as she tried her best to think of something else.

She looked up when the door opened, not able to wipe away her tears in time as he walked over to her, removing her hand off her mouth, kissing her lips softly. There was no need for words of comfort as he wrapped both of his arms around her, holding her as close as he possibly could as she cried.

Her clammy hands clung into his shirt, her head on his chest, she could hear his heart beating quickly as he ran his fingers through her hair over and over again. Chad looked down at the girl, glad she had finally let him comfort her properly, his arms remained wrapped around her battered body as he lay back and kissed her again on the forehead.

"Go to sleep gorgeous." He whispered to her, smiling when she nodded and closed her eyes. Chad bit down on his lip before doing the same – he knew that she was going to be okay soon.
