Royal Crime

Sixteen

Jason's POV

"Water" Miley says and quickly walks out the room, I know she lied to me, she isn't getting water. She seemed nervous and tensed, I shrugged it off and decided to give her some space, she'll come up in a bit. I finish my cigarette and change into shorts, but stay shirtless and I get in bed, I turn the TV on and 21 Jump Street is on so I leave it there.

Half way through the movie I start to get worried. I look at the door and then the clock, it's been almost an hour and she still hasn't came up. I get up and go downstairs, I see its dark, all the lights are off. She didn't leave did she? I thought she sort of liked it here, she wouldn't leave....would she?

I'm snapped back to reality when I hear my name being mumbled from the living room, I walk in to see Miley sleeping on the couch, she looks so cute. I shake my head from those thoughts as I go to pick her up
"Jason" She whispers, I stop and look at her, she looks like she's scared...why would she be scared and say my name?
"No, Jason, help" She says louder, I see tears start to roll down her cheeks

"Miley, I'm right here" I say, lightly shaking her
"Help me" She says louder
"Miley, Miley" I say shaking her more
"Jason Jason" She yells, I get more worried
"Miley wake up" I say louder than the first and her eyes open

"Jason?" She whispers
"Miley are you ok-" I am cut off by her hugging me tightly, I don't hesitate to hug her back, I feel my chest get wet and I tighten my grip around her knowing she's crying.
"It was just a nightmare" I whisper into her hair, she shakes her head then pulls away looking up at me, her eyes are all glossy and tears keep rolling down her cheeks, she looks so scared

"It felt so real Jason, like it was actually happening" She says, I wipe her cheeks with my thumbs as I hold her face in my hands
"But it wasn't, you're okay, I'm okay, okay?" I say, she takes a deep breathe
"Okay" She says, I crack a smile
"Now let's go up to the room" I say, standing up pulling her up with me

*Miley*

I walk up the stairs with Jason holding me close to him, that nightmare felt so real. The hits, the screams, the blood, it was all so vivid, like it was actually happening. Jason opens the door to the room and we step in, I walk ahead towards the bed then lay down bringing the covers close to me.

He follows and lays next to me, its silent and all you can hear is our breathing with the faint sound of cars and buses driving around under the night sky in the city.
"Jason" I whisper, my voice cracking
"Yeah" He says, I clear my throat and turn my body to face him
"Hold me please" I say, I see him nod through the darkness, he pulls me to him wrapping his arm around my waist and I lay my head on his chest, his heartbeat making a perfect lullaby

"Get some sleep Miley" He whispers, I close my eyes letting the sound of his heart lull me to sleep.
I wake up to see Jason by the window smoking, I stay looking at his bareback then the nightmare comes to mind.

How I was tied down to a chair and being beaten, then Jason and the guys burst in, whoever had me had so many people that they tied them down and made them watch as I was being beaten, then they got Jason and a whip to hit his back, I was crying and begging them to stop but as Jason said more insults and threats to the guy the more whipping he got. Blood was everywhere from the guys shooting and it was all so scary.

"Miley" Jason says snapping me out of my thoughts
"Yeah" I say sitting up and he looks at me with a worried look
"You spaced out there, I was calling you for like 2 minutes" He says, I rub my eyes
"I'm sorry, why were you calling me?" I ask

"I was teasing you for staring at me but then you didn't reply and thats when I noticed you were spaced out" He says
"Sorry" I say, standing up up as he shrugs it off
"I'll be downstairs eating" He says, I nod as he walks out the room, then sigh and go to the bathroom to take a nice shower
