Allison's Happy Ever After

This Is Us.

Xavier's POV

She hasn't come out of the bathroom yet. I'm finding it difficult to figure out what to say to her tomorrow. With her knowing nothing, it's going to be difficult to figure out the right words. My thoughts were cut short when she came out of the bathroom.

She stepped out of the bathroom, wearing my tshirt and the shorts I had given her. "I hope it isn't weird that I wanted to wear your shirt.. Something about it seems to comfort me" she says in a meek voice. All I could do was smile. She doesn't understand why my scent would smell good to her. Meanwhile, her scent is driving me up the wall. I want to mark her so badly. The thought of another human or Wolfe touching her makes my blood boil.

"Where will I be sleeping?" She asked.. "You can take my bed, I'll crash on the couch", she nodded weakly, and began to walk towards the bed. My bed is very tall, so I followed behind her. Knowing she wouldn't be able to get onto it by herself.

She tried twice on her own, and I cleared my throat, making her jolt. "Here let me help you", her cheeks turned to flames as I slowly picked her up, and sat her on my bed. Turning to walk off, she caught me by surprise when she grabbed my hand.I could tell she wanted to say something but she let go and started to turn onto her side. "Thank you for today" she whispered as she drifted off to sleep.

Allison's POV

Every night for the past few years, the same nightmare has entered my dreams. I wish I could forget the whole thing, but I know I will never be able to. Why would he have done this to me? I thought he loved me. I just wanted to have a family. I couldnt breathe. Its happening again. I'm having a panic attack. Please just let me be unalived. I can't take this fear anymore.

Suddenly I was shaken out of my thoughts by two firm hands on either side of me. Waking up to the reality that I was in fact having a full-blown panic attack. "Allison?" His gruff voice whispered. Whether it was the fear of not being able to balance my breath or that I was half asleep. I don't know, but I went for it. I leaned in and gave away my very first kiss. Electricity rushed through me, and it was as if a wall shattered in my mind. I pulled back from him, and screamed in agony. Whats happening? I feel like my head is going to explode.

"Allison, you need to breathe. I know what you're experiencing, but let's get you through it and then I will explain everything to you." What did he mean he knew what I was experiencing? I felt like every bone in my body was going to rip out of my skin. He kept telling me to breathe and I listened. He was rubbing me, and I don't understand how, but his touch calmed me. I closed my eyes for what felt like years. When I opened them, everything looked so different. So clear. Looking down, I started to panic again. What am I? Are those.... PAWS?????
