Summer of 83~ Johnny Lawrence x Reader (Karate Kid)

~15~

The nightmares. All that runs through my head is the nightmares. There was one where my father killed Johnny and then kidnapped me. They only grow worse and worse.

Every morning Johnny wakes me up and cradles me until I've calmed down enough to attend school. The bags under my eyes have grown quite dark by now.

People started to notice. Tommy, Daniel, Bobby, even Ali. Every now and then she'll let out a rude comment on my appearance when no one's watching.

"Psst, Y/n," I heard someone whisper in my ear. My body jolted slightly from the desk.

A sharp pain in my head caused me to wince, "Ah, what?"

I turned my eyes towards Tommy. He gave me a weak smile, "You fell asleep again."

I looked around the room to notice I was in the middle of History. God I hate History. I noticed that my notes were written in messy scribbles that didn't make sense.

"Was I...taking notes..in my sleep?" I asked, still observing the nonsense written on lined paper.

Tommy chuckled, "Yeah, you kept saying something about failing the test next Tuesday. You probably will with those notes. Lucky for you, I'll share my own."

"You're a life saver, Tommy Bun," I sighed, resisting my head on my arms.

Tommy raised an eyebrow, "Tommy Bun?"

"Just shut up and take the nickname, I'm not in the mood for explaining myself," I groaned, dismissing Tommy with a wave of my hand.

He giggled softly and went back to taking notes. To my surprise I made it through the rest of History and the next class without falling asleep.

Once English rolled around, I was tired again. Johnny kept poking my shoulders in order to keep me from falling asleep. Every now and then he'll tell me I can sleep during our lunch break and that I have to hold out until then.

"You can cuddle up against me and sleep all you want in 25 minutes, until then keep your head up," Johnny whispered, gently rubbing my shoulder.

I nodded sleepily. However it's quite hard to do so. I try to stay up at night and sleep during the day since the nightmares only..well...happen at night. During the day at school with other people around, they don't seem to pop up into my head.

Johnny has been trying to keep me from going nocturnal. He's been trying to get me to a therapist or someone who can help me. So far just his company has been semi working.

And we both agreed that until we could find someone that was cheap and manageable, taking naps during school and long cuddle sessions after was enough for now.

Sometimes Johnny will take me to karate practice with him and I'll take a nap there. I try to stay up and watch him, but it's no use.

"Go have lunch!" The teacher yelled, shooing us away.

I let out a sigh of relief, "Finally! I can get some sleep."

Johnny wrapped his arm around my shoulder, "Not until you eat something, you've been loosing too much weight in an unhealthily fast pace, you need to eat."

(Even if you're plus size ,Johnny doesn't care and he always makes a point for you to eat! Because even if you ate a lot yesterday or ate a big breakfast, you still deserve three meals a day! And if you're recovering, I promise, you will get there and I am so proud of you just for getting up today! Please eat something, even if it's just a grape or anything really! It's important and anything counts!)

I let out a small groan. Even if I didn't want to, I know Johnny has a point. I have been loosing weight recently. I've been exchanging lunch and dinner for sleep. No matter how much I get, it's all drained after a horrific nightmare.

(Also I'm CEO of making soft Johnny)

Johnny dragged me to the lunch line and picked out some food for me. He usually goes for foods that have more carbs and protein because he knows it'll give me strength and energy.

My plate consist of water, chocolate milk, blueberry pie, chicken..or at least I think that's what that is, and some questionable looking pasta. There is also a side of carrots and apples.

(If you're allergic to any of these things or you don't like them, just switch it out with something you like! And if you haven't eaten, if you'd like to you could try to eat along with the characters.)

Johnny sat me down at a table and picked up the chicken. He examined it, "I should start packing lunches."

I let out a little, tired laugh, "I'm sure it can't be that bad."

"Well either way you need something, even if it's not a lot," Johnny commented, handing me the fork and chicken.

"You can do this, just a bite, ok?" Johnny whispered. He gently rubbed my back as I carefully placed the chicken in my mouth. It didn't taste like much since it was school food but it wasn't god awful.

I ate small parts of the chicken and then some carrots. Johnny helped me through the meal with little encouraging remarks.

"Now drink some water and you can get some sleep," Johnny cooed, kissing my cheek gently.

I downed the water and finally finished the meal. There were a few scraps of chicken, carrots, and pie, but I still ate something and that's all that matters.

"Good girl, I'm so proud of you, Y/n, I love you very much," Johnny praised while throwing out the trash.

Johnny then led me to his car, where he kept two pillows and a big fuzzy blanket. He helped me in and wrapped me in the blanket.

I snuggled into Johnny's chest and slowly drifted to sleep.

"I'll be here the whole time, don't worry about anything else right now, Princess. I'll be right here."

I hope you all enjoyed that chapter! Thank you so much for all the love I am soo appreciative :) Have a good day!! Or night!!! Or whenever you're seeing this!
