The Boy Who Lives In Lockdown

7

I woke up when I heard Mitch scream at the top of his lugs

He called my name and I ran as fast as I could to his room, I reached the door handle but he opened it and ran into my arms

I stumbled back and fell on the ground. "Honey, it's okay it was a dream".

He's been living here for a month now and he has these dreams every night

He was sobbing into my chest. "Don't cry baby".

And we were dating

But soon the public found out about what happened and they started to question him but Mitch explained everything and they let him go

Mitch let out another heart wrenching sob and I kissed the top if his head. "It's alright sweetie".

I kept soothing him till he calmed down and looked up at me

I pecked him on the lips and picked him back up to carry him to bed

He put a hand on my chest. "Can I sleep with you tonight".

I nodded and turned around to take him to my room, I laid him down on the bed and let him snuggled into my chest

I rubbed comforting circles on the back of his neck and he quickly fell asleep

Once I heard him snoring softly I relaxed and fell asleep myself
