BEWARE SOME VIOLENCE/AB**E IN THIS NEXT LITTLE PART!

"COME BACK HERE YOU STUPID S**T!"

F**k F**k F**k.

Come on Macy...control your breathing. Don't breathe too loud or he will hear you.

STOMP STOMP STOMP

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Brad pulls my hair from under the bed, where I was hiding. "PLEASE BRAD STOP!" I yell/plead with him.

SMACK. "Do. Not. Tell. Me. To. Stop." SMACK

"Pl...leas....ee.." I cry out. I just want him to stop. Please stop. What did I do to deserve this??

"MACY! MACY WAKE UP!" Wait....That is Derek's voice.. What?

DREAM OVER. SAFE TO READ.

"Macy, wake up!" I shoot up from the bed as I clutch my chest and I look all around as I didn't know where I was. I turn my head and it lands on Derek. I fling myself from the bed and into his arms, as it felt like Brad was in the room. I broke down as Derek caught me in his arms and he just held me up.

"Shhhh, calm down. You are safe. I am here." Derek whispers to me in a soothing voice.

After about 10 minutes, I finally calm down as Derek sets me back down on the bed. I wipe my face and look up at him to only see him staring at me.

"I am sorry..." Before I could continue, Derek held his hand up for me to stop.

"Don't apologize. You have NOTHING to be sorry for. I am just glad that I was here." Derek says to me in a soothing voice.

"Thank you." I quietly say to him as I lift my head up to look at him.

He just smiles at me and nods his head. Basically acting like, I had no reason to thank him since he was more then willing to help me. I looked back down and ran a hand through my hair as I sighed. I cannot believe that I had a nightmare about him.. I haven't had a nightmare about him for about a month now. Why can't he just leave me alone?? It has been 3 months since I have seen him and I have been doing my best to avoid when I go into work, so why is he now just popping up?

"Penny for your thoughts." My head snaps up to see that Derek is still standing there.

I blush as I am wondering if I said any of my thoughts out loud. "Sorry, I got lost into my own head." I tell him sheepishly.

He chuckles as he looks at me. "I could see that." He then holds out his hand for me to take. "Come with me."

I look at his hand and then up at him. I c**k my head to the side as I look at him and than I smile. I take his hand and he helps me up. I was thinking that he was going to let go of my hand after he helped me up, but he just intertwined our hands. I blushed when he did this and it caused something to awaken inside that I wasn't sure what it was. I looked down at our hands and smiled. I trusted his hands because I just had a gut feeling that he would not hurt me. I never had that feeling with anyone else, but I just thought that I was paranoid...now I know that it was something warning me.

I am thrown out of my thoughts when Derek starts to pull me out of the room and we head down the stairs. I am just following him as he leads the way. I have no idea where he is taking me since I don't know my way around yet. Wait, yet? Where did that come from? I soon see that he is taking me to the kitchen. He turns to look at me once he takes me into the kitchen and I raise an eyebrow at him.

He chuckles. "You need some snacks and a drink."

"Okay." I smile at him as he lets go of my hand.

I go and sit down at the bar, that is in the kitchen. Derek walks over and I watch as he pulls things out and pulls out some sodas/water for me. I just smile at him because I have never had someone do this for me before. I then start to notice as he puts the things down on two trays and I must have had a confused look on my face because Derek chuckles at me.

"You okay?" He asks me as he is chuckling.

"I am just wondering, what are you doing?" I ask him as I tilt my head.

He doesn't answer me, so instead he just motions for me to go over to him with his hand. I get off of the stool and walk over to him. Once I am in front of him, he just picks up a tray and hands it to me. I take it from as I am left there just confused. He then picks up the other tray.

"Follow me." Is all he says as he starts to walk out of the kitchen. I just follow him with the tray in my hands. He leads me out of the kitchen and down the hallway where he turns into a room. I just follow him, but when I enter the room...I froze. Holy S**t.

It was a huge movie room. It had grey walls with some deep red drapes hanging from the ceiling to the floor. The few seats that were in there were leather big recliners with a huge screen for the movie to play on it. There were also some tables beside the leather seats so you can put stuff on them. I finally walk in as I take everything in and I put the tray down as I look over to see Derek turning on the screen, I think?

"Here." He says to me as he hands me a tablet. I take it and look down to see that it just a tablet filled with movies and when you click it, it shows up on the screen. Never in my life have I seen anything like this.

"This is amazing." I tell Derek as I sit down in one of the seats. He sits next to me and chuckles.

"Yeah, I wanted to make sure that I had somewhere where my nephews and nieces could watch movies and hangout."

"You have nephews and nieces?" I ask him, surprised.

"Yeah my Uncles were foster parents, well they still are, but they have adopted some kids along the way and now they apart of the family." He tells me.

"How many?" I ask him as I set the tablet down because I want to get to know him.

"I have about 2 nephews and 3 nieces." My eyes go wide as I look at him and he chuckles at me.

"How old are they and their names?" I quickly ask.

"Well, Cody and Lacy are twins and they are 15. My uncles have had them since they were 5. Then there is Tyler, he is 10, and they have had him since he was born. Zee is 18 and she has been with them since she was 8, and last but not least, Bee. She is 20 and they have had her since she was born. She was there first foster child."

"Holy s**t. Your family is huge." I tell him.

"You are telling me." He says while laughing. "But I love being an uncle and a brother."

"I bet that is nice." I tell him as I pick the tablet back up. He leans over and takes the tablet from me which causes me to look up at him.

"Tell me about your family and your life."
