Nineteen: Love the Way You Lie, Eminem ft. Rihanna
Klaus hadn't known how to love in a long time, Caroline knew that, was prepared for it even. That didn't excuse him though, she still held him accountable for his faults.
He had nightmares, she knew. She would wake up to him thrashing, screaming at invisible men; she would pull him to her, cradle him close, sooth his damp hair back from his sweaty forehead and whisper calming nothings in his ear.
She had nightmares, he knew. He would wake up to her screaming and struggling at invisible enemy's, begging them to stop hurting her. He would pull her against his chest, cradling her like a child; kissing the top of her head, stroking her curls and along the curve of her spine.
