Chiara pov
"Goodbye sweetie I love you. Make me proud" I shot up from my sleep covered in sweat with my heart beating like crazy. I instantly started crying. What made it worse was that Josh wasn't next to me in his bed.
"Chiara?" I heard someone shout followed by the sound of footsteps running up the stairs. My crying got harder. I couldn't stop.
"Make it stop" I cried. The door opened and Josh stood there looking at me scared shitless.
"Chi whats wrong?" He asked. I shook my head telling him that I couldn't answer. He ran over and sat down next to me. His arms wrapped around me and held me tightly. "it's okay baby" He whispered as I cried into his shirt.
"I want my mom back" I sobbed. His arms tightened around me. "I miss her so much"
"It's okay Chiara. She's watching you now and can see how beautiful you are. I promise you that she is proud of you" He said kissing the top of my head. "Just try and calm down and go back to sleep."
"Please don't leave me" I whispered
"Never" He said as his arms tightened. I could feel him running his hands through my hair and his lips move to my ear "You're my forever and always I would never leave you" This only made me cry harder.
"Just hold me please" I answered and he did just that. I began to calm down and he laid down next to me. "I love you so much Josh" and with that I drifted back to sleep.
Josh Pov
When I walked out of my room I wasn't expecting to be running back up the stairs to a hysterical Chiara. She dreamt about her mom again but this time it was worse. After she fell back asleep I didn't want to leave her alone again. I knew she was still hurting but what I didn't know was if she truly had gotten better. I know I probably sound like the biggest asshole right now but people screw up. I always worry about her. She's my world and I never want her to feel that hurt again.
"Babe?" I heard her whisper as she stirred awake.
"Im here. You okay?" I said pulling her closer to me.
"Im sorry for what happened" I could see the tears form in her eyes again.
"chi sweetie don't worry about it okay? I just wanna know if you're okay now" She nodded and wiped away a stray tear.
"I promise I'm okay" she answered before pulling herself closer to me.
"I love you Chiara" I said before kissing her cheek.
"I love you too Josh" She replied before grabbing my face and smashing her lips against mine. "honestly you make me feel so much better"
"Glad to hear that" She smiled and then looked at my lips. Then she gave me that look.
"Are your parents home?" She whispered making me laugh. You can probably figure out what happened next…
Chiara POV
"Chiara! Josh!" We scrambled to get our clothes on as we heard Tay call up to us. I could hear her footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Im hiding in the bathroom while you get dressed so it doesn't look like we just had sex okay?" I said kissing Josh quickly.
"But we just did babe" He said laughing.
'"Shut up" I glared at him before shutting the door.
"Good morning hun" I heard Tay say to Josh.
