Last chapter. Thanks to everyone who's reviewed etc. I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed the story although it was a tough read.

Later that night after Tim had left, Daisy had visited and her parents had made their daily phone call Lucy had made her excuses and gone to bed. Lee had gone to his own bed soon after. Lucy was surprised when she felt her eyes begin to droop as her head hit the pillow. Forcing them open she sighed, she wouldn't go to sleep. The nightmares would be back and she had already had to deal with one that morning.

So, she sat up in bed and tried to occupy herself as she played absentmindedly on her iPad. She should've asked Lee to stay with her until she fell asleep, that way she would have had someone to talk to. Yet, she had stopped herself, she was becoming too dependent on him and too clingy. Lucy had even told him so herself earlier on but he had shook his head and said that it didn't matter, that she was going through a tough time and that he was more than happy to look after her.

Lee had honestly been great during the past few months. He had explained to her the other night when she had asked about why he looked like shit after he had found her and he replied honestly saying he hadn't stopped looking. That he had had a minimal amount of sleep because he wanted to find her because he missed her and wanted to have her safe again, in the flat. That had made Lucy smile at the time. Lee had changed the subject then by telling her some jokes, which she couldn't help but laugh at. She might have been wary around him to begin with but now her trust for him had grown even more.

Lucy wasn't at all surprised when her thoughts then drifted to her lodger. This had been an increasing occurrence as she tried not to fall asleep. Recently she had found herself falling in love with him but she wasn't ready to admit it, it was too soon. If she had a relationship with Lee she knew that at some point they would end up being intimate but she wouldn't be ready to do that for a while, even if she trusted him. Lucy didn't want to string him along and she would be if they were together. That was the last thought she had before she drifted off to sleep.

Lucy inwardly sighed as the container doors shut close after him again, a sob was trying to escape her throat but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of hearing her cry. Lucy groaned as she shuffled slightly, trying to get her dress back into the same position it once had been.

Lucy tried to shake the events of what had happened again from her throat, the more she thought about it the more it made her feel sick and she didn't want that to happen in the container. She felt dirtier than she had been the past couple of weeks and she felt used and useless. Lucy knew who it was and he had whispered in her ear once as his hands made a trail up her thighs for what felt like the thousandth time that week that it was revenge, that she deserved it because she hadn't chosen him. Kicking her until she faked passing out. Then he had said bye.

When the container doors opened a couple of days later she pressed herself into the corner. She wouldn't cope if she had to go through it again, she was still sore and aching. When a hand touched her shoulder she had flinched violently although the touch had felt different. As soon as she heard Lee speak she couldn't quite believe it, not until he spoke again and she allowed herself to face him. Lucy hadn't been happier for a while at the time but then she remembered she wasn't worth it and the happiness of seeing her lodger faded.

Lucy woke up with a start, the only difference being her heart wasn't pounding and she didn't cry. Then she realised her dreams were playing in a sequence, from beginning to end and hopefully after this one her nightmares would stop.

Clambering out of bed she made her way to Lee's bedroom. Although it wasn't the worse nightmare she'd had over the past few weeks she still felt unnerved and as cheesy as it sounded Lee made her feel better.

Slowly opening the door she padded her way over towards his bed, where he was sleeping in the middle on his back, his mouth hanging open as gentle snores escaped his mouth. Lucy tried to supress a giggle as she sat down on the edge of the bed, watching him startle awake at the shift.

"Lucy?" He muttered, "Nightmare?"

"Sort of," she uttered as she watched him pull up one side of his duvet, he probably wasn't even aware he was doing it.

"Climb in," he instructed as Lucy shifted so she could crawl underneath the duvet so she was in bed with him, "you ok?"

"I'm fine," she answered as she gingerly rested her head on his shoulder, her arm wrapping around his waist, "night."

"Night, love," he mumbled half asleep as Lucy blushed, a smile forming on her lips. She fell asleep easily then as she snuggled into Lee's warmth. He was comforting and she felt safe.

When she woke up early in the morning she had concluded that it was one of the best night's sleep she had had in ages. They had somehow changed positions in their sleep, Lee spooned behind her as her hand clung to his arm, her casted arm resting in front of her. It surprised her how comfortable and at ease she felt in that position with him.

Sighing she gently turned over and shifted so her face was in front of his, from here she could make out every detail there as her hand unconsciously smoothed his bed hair. She knew it was slightly creepy but she couldn't help it as she pressed her lips to Lee's gently for a brief second, she couldn't help herself. Lucy jumped when his eyes snapped open.

"Morning," he replied with a cheeky grin as Lucy blushed before burying her head under his chin.

"Morning," she mumbled as she felt Lee's chuckle vibrate through his chest, he had been awake the whole time. Lucy smiled guiltily to herself as she felt him pull her as close as possible, his arms keeping her secure.

Lucy then concluded that if she could wake up every morning to Lee's face then maybe Scott Perry's would erase itself from her mind.
