Chapter 9

Xavier heard gut-wrenching screaming from down the hall; the screaming jolted him out of his sleep. He quickly shot out of bed, making sure to grab his gun under his pillow as he rushed to get to her room. His heart rapidly beat as he got closer to her room. He hoped that no one was in her room and if there was, this would be their last day on earth.

He opened the door to find Kira screaming and holding herself in her sleep. She was in the fetal position, not moving, just screaming. The image of her made him freeze where he was and his insides twisted from seeing her like that and her screaming out in pain. He wanted to jump in her dreams to tell her that she would be okay, but he knew he couldn't. He shook his head, walking over to her to shake her awake. He didn't touch her at first. He just whispered that she was okay; that she was dreaming.

After minutes of him letting her know that she was dreaming and that she would be okay, she stopped screaming. Kira didn't wake up; it was as if calmness came over her and he breathed a breath of relief that she wasn't having a nightmare anymore. This scenery brought back memories that he had long forgotten about and buried. It brought memories of his mother. She and his father had split before he was born and she never told his father about him. His mother was full of life and beautiful until she had gotten attacked one night after work. She was never the same after that.

His mother had become a shell of a person. The memories of getting attacked and raped had plagued her dreams for months. She turned into a different person, at the time; he was only seven years old. Being a seven-year-old and taking care of his mother had been a big responsibility. Finding her high, spaced out, and staring at nothing taught him to care for her. He learned to clean her up when she was too high to cope. Those nights, she screamed out in anger and hurt. When she was high, he would hold his mom. He comforted his mom in those times. He admired Kira for being strong, whereas his mom took her own life. The one day he slept off, she had ended her life by shooting herself up and jumping off the balcony. When he had heard her say she was flying and free, he ran to the balcony, not being able to save her.

He snapped out of the memories of his mother as he started making his touch known. He needed her to know it was him that was why he had shaken her hand in the first place. He wanted her to register safety within his touch. She had immediately calmed down, with her rapid breathing becoming normal. This brought him back to when he first stayed with her when she was at his dad's house.
