âStop ⦠youâre hurting him,â He murmurs.
Maceâs nightmare wakes me up from sleep. For a second, Iâm disoriented and canât figure out where I am. The room is plunged in darkness. I can barely see my own hands, much less the body lying next to me.
But I would recognize that tortured sound anywhere. It is imprinted in my mind.
âMacy, baby, wake up. Youâre having a nightmare,â I whisper.
Mace has had these nightmares since he was a child. Sometimes, they got so bad, I could hear his screams through his bedroom window. This is the first time I witnessed one this close, however.
âStop... Please, someone, help.â
My heart breaks for him, and because of this, I make the mistake of touching his shoulder while heâs unconscious, waking Mason in the middle of his nightmare. He twirls into a defensive position and covers my body aggressively. His hand is at my throat.
âMace, wake up,â I scream, and he freezes at the sound of my voice. I can feel my heart beating a thousand miles a minute.
âShit, Iâm so sorry. Did I hurt you?â
âN ⦠No,â I stammer, but I have to admit that Iâm shaken.
âAre you sure?â He turns on the light and examines my body to make sure that Iâm not lying.
âYes, Iâm sure.â He flips on his back and stares at the ceiling in turmoil.
âDo you still have these nightmares often?â
âNot as often as I used to, no.â
âHave you thought about getting some help for them?â
âYou mean like a shrink?â
âYes.â
âI canât.â
âWhy not?
âWhat do you think is going to happen if I tell someone that my father used to beat the daylight out of me?â
âCan you do it anonymously? Wouldnât the doctor have to respect patient confidentiality?â
âYes, but Iâm a minor. I would need a parentâs authorization to see a shrink, and you know how thatâs going to go. In any case, I donât need it. Iâm fine.â
âThat isnât fine. What if you hurt someone? What if you hurt me?â I say in a small voice.
âBaby girl, you donât need to worry about that. Ever. I would never hurt you. Just donât touch me whenever I have a nightmare, and we will be fine.â
âMace, you need to talk to someone.â
âNo. Do I hate my sperm donor? Yes, very much. But Iâm fine. The bastard has no hold over me.â Iâm not convinced. That seems like deep-rooted trauma to me, and I should know the signs better than anyone. But Mace is in defensive mode, and nothing and no one can convince him to do something when heâs like this.
âHow can I help you?â
âYou already are.â He drapes the cover over us and spoons my back. We fall asleep, nestled closely against each other.
