I jolted upwards, screaming so loudly, that I could feel my heart in my throat.
It felt like my heart had stopped in my chest, as all of the painful memories made their way back to the surface.
"Baby, it's okay!" Zayn said urgently, wrapping his arms around my body, pulling me close, soothing me and pressing his lips to my forehead. "You were having a nightmare."
He trailed off his sentence, cupping my chin in his hands.
"Come on, look at me."
I drew out a deep breath that I didn't know I was holding, as I did my best to regain my composure, and come to the realization that I wasn't in the dark place I was many years ago.
I was at home, with my beautiful boyfriend taking care of me.
Lazarus wasn't here.
Vladimir Potter wasn't here.
I was safe.
I shook my head, clutching my chest as my eyes welled with tears.
"I saw her, Zayn!" I cried out.
"Saw who?" Zayn denied.
"My mom."
Zayn stared at me with a timid, sorrowful expression on his face.
"I miss her so much," I whispered, swallowing down a lump in my throat.
