Alex shifted in the large, soft bed. She grunted a few times in her sleep. Though she was moving around fussily, she was aware she was still asleep.

She reached out next to her, furrowing her perfect eyebrows in sleepy frustration. Her long fingertips stopped and brushed against the soft skin of a familiar arm. She sighed blissfully, not having to open her eyes to know who she had touched.

She rested her palm on the arm and rubbed up and down it slowly and tenderly. She recieved a soft hum ofappreciation from the woman sleeping beside her.

She continued this until her rubs became slower and her hand became shakier and she began to grip the arm harshly than she would ever mean to.

The woman who's arm was in Alex's grip winced loudly and shot her eyes open, snatching her arm from her.

Feeling this hard tug away from her, Alex's emerald eyes also opened quickly, not knowing why Piper tugged away from her so hard for, or even that she was grabbing her in the first place.

"Alex," Piper breathed harshly, rubbing her arm where the raven haired girl had grabbed her.

"What the hell were you grabbing me so tight for?"

Alex's breath was heavy. She knew she was having another nightmare, something normal ever since she left the cartel(suprisingly unscathed, for now.) and she knew she was touching Piper's arm.

But she hadn't remembered grabbing.

All she really remembered was the vivd dream bullet hitting the back of her head, and that must have been when she squeezed Piper's arm.

"I-I'm sorry." was all Alex could manage to say.

Piper knew this woman better than anyone on the planet, so when she began studying her face, she could tell instantly that something was wrong.

Alex was sweating, very badly which wasn't something she normally did.

No matter what strenuious exercise she did, Alex never really broke a visible sweat. But beads were all along her hairline.

She was out of breath, even though all they had been doing was laying in bed.

Piper did jerk away from her, but that wouldn't of scared her enough to take away her breath. Knowing Alex, it wouldn't of even made her wake up.

"Baby."

Piper said softly, putting a hand on top of Alex's shaky one.

Alex was never scared.

But right now, she was absolutely terrified.

"You're okay, I'm here. Nobody is gonna hurt you, I'm right here." she continued, pulling the older woman into her chest. Alex didn't say a word; no words needed to be said. She flickered her puffy, wet eyes up to Piper, actually meeting her gaze.

Piper ran one hand up and down her back as she curled into her chest, burying her face deep into the nape of her neck. Piper could feel soft, light fluttery kisses along her neck, making her tingle inside.

"I love you, kid." Alex spoke softly through drying tears and a shaky voice, into Piper's neck.

"I love you too." Piper smiled softly, continuing to rub her girlfriend's back and whisper sweet and reassuring words into her ear, with the occasional kiss on Alex's sweet spot that only Piper knew where on her neck it was.


Alex knew that no matter what her dreams would try to scare her with, her reality would always keep her safe.
Alex Vause has had nightmares ever since she escaped the cartel; Piper knows and will make sure she knows dreams are only for a night, while reality is always there to wake up too.
