While you were sleeping... (Sara Quinn)[mature]

[Sara Quinn]

Sara pulled the shirt she had chosen over her head quickly, and was turned around to face him again in seconds. She was a little worried about having her back turned to him for to long. He had just tried to rape her after all, and now she was going to go and crawl into bed to cuddle with him!!~ Oh, smart Sara was smart wasn't she?~

She sighed, rubbing her arms as she looked around her room again. The shirt had turned out to be yet another tank top. But the sight of the scar seemed to help, or at least she assumed thats what it was, as he refused to look at it " She was nervous to go to him, but seeing nothing wrong in her room, she stepped over to the bed. Slowly, she crawled in, choosing to be under the covers rather then over.

She instinctively turned her back to him, laying on her side as she fluffed her pillows, pulling her knees up so that she was in her normal comfortable sleeping position. His hand on her shoulder shocked her though, her muscles locking as her body tensed at his touch. She remained frozen for a few seconds, waiting to see what he did next, and when there was nothing, she slowly relaxed.

Ok, if he was going to actually get all cuddly and stuff, then they were going to damn well cuddle. She needed it... Probably just as much as he did. She gently grabbed a hold of his wrist and pulled his arm completely over her, hugging it to her stomach as she shifted so that her back was pressed against up him, cuddling into him. The feeling of having him so close to her, just pretending that nothing had happened, and letting her mind go blank for a little had silent tears falling down her face again. She hoped he couldn't tell as she closed her eyes, willing herself to just sleep it off until tomorrow.

She tensed up and Matrim froze, taking a quick moment to decide whether or not to pull away, and just as he was about to pull his hand away, she had grabbed his wrist and cuddled back into him, pulling his arm around her. The fact that she was kosher with this made him feel all the more sadness and guilty for what he had done. Yeah, no more Alpha here, anger was the last thing on his mind. But the feel of her next time him was comforting. He didn't want to sleep alone, not at home, not in that bed. He couldn't. He truly loved Sara, and he wanted to be next to her during this.

He pressed his nose against her neck, his head slightly on hers, their hair getting entangled a bit. There was always the awkward trying to figure out what to do with your other arm moment, but Matrim decided to raise the arm that wasn't around her so that the elbow was by his head, and the hand that was attached to it began to play with her hair, as he held her tightly to him. Warm tears would stream from his face onto hers, a gentle stream. He didn't sob, he didn't break down, but tears simply just leaked out from him.

He hoped she would go to sleep, as he was about to. He slowly started to fade into sleep, his mind started to wonder and he let himself melt away into the moment.... slowly drifting... comforted by Sara.

She felt the tears fall onto her face from him, mixing with her own on her cheeks. He was crying, and there was nothing she could do or say for him. The best she could offer him was to cuddle further back into him, pushing gently against his chest with her back as though wishing she could just melt into him. She was tired, and she was sore. She wanted to sleep. It wasn't that the thoughts were hitting her yet, the questions, doubts, emotions setting in, but that she was afraid they would. Sleep would hold that off until she was awake.

And sleep came easily to her. The guy had just tried to rape her, but for the first time since her kidnapping, she felt completely safe in her own home. She wondered softly if she might dream while he was here. Her nightmares had gotten bad, and she wondered of she should warn him before she woke him screaming, but then decided not to. She felt so tired, like she would actually sleep tonight as opposed to that simple napping she normally did. She sighed softly, her mind thankfully blank, as she slipped into sleep.

Matrim ended up sleeping for quite a bit, drifting a bit after she did. He noticed the change in her body as she fell asleep. She wasn't very responsive to his hair petting or anything like that, and eventually he slept. But when he slept he had a nightmare, and the nightmare was something that angered him more than frightened. So when he woke up he knew Alpha was going to fight for control. He decided he needed to get to the school as quickly as possible, students would probably anger him or attack him like normal. He may be a likable guy, but Alpha had been doing his best to piss people off.

He slipped out of bed quietly, still fully dressed since he didn't want to make Sara uncomfortable. He was even over the sheets a bit. He found something to write with and left her the following note...

A's pushing for control. Going to go somewhere where he can get out some of his anger so that he doesn't take control around you,

B.

He left it on the bed where he had been laying down, kissed her forehead gently and made his way out and headed for the school.
