Leilani's POV:

"Leilani what the fuck are you doing?" I heard Bryce's husky voice fall in disbelief at the doorway but it didn't stop me from kicking at Cole's face. I was completely out of control of my body and what I was doing to the disgusting excuse of a human being that laid beneath me. I heard footsteps scuttling down the hallway that was continued by my Mum's loud screams as she fell to her knees at the doorway but it didn't stop me from forcing both of my minuscule hands around the width of his thick, freckled neck.

"Lani baby you- you can't do this," my Mum's frail voice stuttered as the tears fell from her now blackened eyes.

"You never stopped him from doing the things he did to me so why stop me?" my voice was thick and evil as I choked harder as his face turned purple. He'd stopped fighting and accepted his fate as his life laid in the unfortunate position that was my hands.

"I'm sorry," Cole barely managed to gasp out as my hands tightened around his neck trying to cut out all air.

"You can't say that now! Don't make me regret killing you, you fucking bastard, you've ruined my life!" his eyes softened as they began to roll back into his head. He let out one last week cough spitting blood up onto my face before his entire body stiffened slightly and then relaxed in my hands. The entire time Bryce and Mum watched on not daring to interfere, I knew they too secretly wanted him gone too but no one was game enough to do it. I released my hands from around his now bruised throat and stood up booting one last kick into his ribs. I felt two firm hands wrap around each of my arms, Bryce. I shrugged him off and fell back to the ground where Cole's dead body laid next to me. My Mum rushed next to my side and wrapped her shaking arms around me and stroked my hair as she hugged me tighter.

"Thank you," she whispered in my ear before releasing the hug and wiping Cole's warm blood from my face with her thumb.

"Lets clean up this mess," Cole suggested as he dragged Cole's body to the shed out in the backyard.

My eyes shot open waking me from my nightmare as I tried to lift myself from the bed but my dead weight held me down leaving me staring at the ceiling once again. I sighed heavily as I attempted to wiggle myself to a sitting position in the bed and for once I was successful. I clapped my hands quietly in celebration knowing that Oli's ideas to get me moving last night had a somewhat permanent affect. I reached my hand out across the bed to shake Austin awake so he could take me for a shower but when I couldn't feel him I realized I was alone. I reached for the laptop Austin had left on the bedside table and opened up Youtube knowing some web surfing would have to suffice since I couldn't have my usual shower.

"Squidgy, Squidgy, Fa la la la la!" Austin's childish singing burst through the speakers of the laptop and I could not control my laughter. I thought it would be fun to look up Austin and the rest of the guys since a lot of their fans comment random stuff on instagram that I didn't understand but I was slowly starting too.

"I'd be a cat, meow!" Alan chirped in an interview and I finally understood all the cat jokes and even the naked photo of Alan with a cat photo shopped in front of him that I was unfortunately exposed to on the internet but I couldn't help but giggle at the thought of the photo.

"Hi I'm Austin and I do the yelling," I laughed at his awkward half wave and introduction to the interview but couldn't help but feel smitten by his gorgeous smile. His thick accent filled my ears and I was transfixed on everything he was saying. Besides the dorky long hair Austin really hadn't changed from the interview and I was glad he stayed true to himself even through the fame he was earning.

"Alright a fan of yours, Iris, wants to ask you," the interviewer paused to point at Austin "if you've got your squidgy tattoo?" he finished the question. Instantly a smile built up on Austin's face as Alan rolled his eyes at the mention of the colorful squid.

"Squidgy!" Austin jumped in excitement clapping his hands at the same time.

"Oh god," I coincidentally mumbled the exact same time Alan did in the interview. I continued watching the interview trying to get an insight on their life on tour since I really hadn't experienced much sitting in a hotel room for the last three weeks. They talked about Austin losing his shoes crowd surfing because of crazy fans and their views on illegally downloading music and it was just hilarious that Alan admitted to doing it himself. Just over halfway into the interview an interesting question was asked in a game of this or that.

"Nickelodeon or Disney?" the interviewer quizzed.

"Disney!" I chanted quickly thinking of my favorite Disney princess, Ariel, before either could answer hoping they'd both answer the same.

"Nickelodeon," Alan answered quietly and I was so disappointed with him. Apparently so was Austin.

"WHAT?! Are you kidding me? Disney's the best! Do you know how many princesses there are?" he screamed at Alan jokingly, dumbfounded that Alan could say such a thing.

"I don't care about princesses," Alan retorted. I gasped and mentally noted to slap Alan out of his stupidity later.

"What are you going to watch? Doug? What the fuck man!" Austin mocked in a dopey voice throwing his hands around the air repeatedly and I couldn't help but laugh as I agreed. Suddenly I had the urge to watch Beauty and the Beast, something I hadn't watched since before my parents divorce when I was seven. I closed the Youtube tab and searched for a site where I could watch the movie and after a short five minutes of searching I had streamed the movie and the opening scene appeared before my eyes.

***

I watched on with tears in my eyes as Belle laid down Beats limp body on the tiled floors in the rain and cried upon his chest.

"Don't die," I whimpered knowing all too well he wouldn't but I couldn't help the emotion pull that Disney always had against me.

"Maybe it's better this way," the Beast huffs out between gasping breaths.

"No don't talk like that," I mouthed along with Belle pushing back the tears that streamed down my cheeks. I couldn't help but scold myself for crying at a children's movie at the age of twenty-six. I heard the door creak open and looked over from the bed to reveal Austin standing in the doorway. I paused the movie and chuckled at myself for crying and pushed away the leftover tears as I watched Austin watch me closely.

"Why are you crying?" he worried.

"I'm just watching a movie, it's silly really," I shrugged it off. Austin laughed and closed the door behind him as he moved closer towards me crouching by the bed. He looked to the laptops screen to observe what I was watching. As he realized his breath hitched in his throat causing me to close the laptop screen because of his reaction. He heaved himself from his crouching position and sat next to my legs on the bed.

"Belle was my Mom's favorite Disney princess," I stared at him confused as a tear welled in the corner of his eye that I pushed away.

"Was?" he nodded his head sadly drawing his rough hand through his messy hair.

"I-I'm sorry I didn't know," he shook his head at me and leaned forward to plant a kiss on my forehead.

"It's not your fault Lani," he reassured me weakly as he rubbed nervously at the back of his neck.

"You know," I said realizing something odd, "we know each other but we don't," he shrugged his shoulders like he didn't understand.

"I know you," he replied dryly trying to avoid the actual point of my statement.

"I mean sure you know everything about me but I didn't know about your Mum, you never talk about your Dad or home or if you have siblings or simple things like if you prefer Nickelodeon or Disney," I joked trying to take away from the seriousness.

"That's easy, Disney, every time!" he confirmed.

"Aus don't try and brush it off," he sighed giving in to my pushiness.

"Fine you can ask me everything you want to know about me," he concluded making a wide grin appear on my face as I clapped my hands together but he laughed and stopped me from clapping.

"What?" I asked disappointed he was stopping me from knowing more about him but I didn't understand why he was putting up this wall.

"You can ask later let's finish the movie," I didn't protest as he pushed me over slightly in the bed and crawled in next to me cradling my small body against his warm frame. I took in his spicy scent as I snuggled against his white shirt while I waited for him to turn the movie back on the laptop. The movie started playing from where I had paused it and I rested my head against Austin's chest taking in the calming sound of his heartbeat.

"Please don't leave me," I mumbled along with Belle as she cried for the Beast's life.

"I never will," Austin mumbled surprising me as he placed a gentle kiss on the back of my head. I looked up at him vaguely but his eyes were still fixated on the screen pretending he'd never said it. Cheeky, I thought to myself but proceeded to watch the movie he was so in love with.

I rested my head back on his chest and it lifted slightly with every rise and fall of his breath lulling me to sleep before the movie could end. I was sure this time I wouldn't encounter a nightmare when I was snug in Austin's caressing arms.
