against one wall there were three tall dressers made of the same wood as the bed. Who needs so many dressers? Standing up she realized just how large the room was. To the left of the dressers was a very large walk-in closet that was empty, except for her new clothes and the ones she brought with her from home. Looking to the right, she saw a closed door that she assumed led to the bathroom and a huge bay window with a bench in front of it, with throw pillows all along it for sitting. Looking outside she noticed how dark it was and wondered what the time was. Deciding to grab a shower to wash off the horrible day she had, Keeley walked to the closet and grabbed a pair of sweat pants, shirt, and underwear, then headed to the bathroom.
Walking in she stopped, staring in shock at how gorgeous it was. It was all done in a beautiful white marble. The counter had three sea shell sinks in it, and there was a beautiful white oak vanity next to it. On one wall was a huge Jacuzzi tub that sat under a window that looked like it was blacked out so you could see outside, but no one could see in. The shower was at the end of the tub in its own enclosure, and it was even bigger than the tub. It had three glass walls and four shower heads that were placed in different spots all around it. It could easily fit four or five people. Hopping in the shower felt wonderful. The heads all had massagers on them that helped work the kinks out of her body.
Getting out, she quickly realized she’d have to forgo the bra for now, because she just couldn’t bend her arm back without wanting to scream from the pain the movement would cause. Finished getting dressed, she walked out of the room and looking down the hall. She decided to follow the light to what she hoped would be where Nathaniel and Tyler were. Coming to what she assumed was the living room she looked around, noticing first, the huge black leather sectional couch placed in front of a brick fireplace, with a large flat screen TV mounted over top of it. Walking farther into the room, she saw the guys fast asleep on the couch with an open pizza box on the table in front of them, and a movie playing quietly on the TV in the background. Deciding to sit between them, she grabbed a pizza slice and the remote, to turn it up.
Enjoying the best pepperoni pizza she’d ever had, Keeley realized it was her all-time favorite movie they had on , Die Hard . Smiling to herself, she ate two more slices before she was full and started to feel tired again. Laying down with Nathaniel just above her head and Tyler down by her feet, she felt settled, content, and most importantly safe enough to fall asleep without fear.

Waking up to a grunt wasn’t what Nate expected. Looking over, he noticed Keeley lying between them with her head on his leg and one arm wrapped under and around it, and she was stretched to the max so she could put her feet on Ty’s lap. Looking at his brother quizzically, he mouthed the question, “What happened?”
Chuckling, Ty whispered back, “The girl’s got a good kick.”
Not wanting to wake her up, they both just watched her for a while, until they started to drift off again.
Not sure what woke him up this time, Nate just sat there with his eyes closed and listened. When he heard it again, he knew immediately that Keeley was having a nightmare. She was squeezing his leg so hard he felt her nails through the denim of his jeans. Next, he heard her whimpers, and even though he only had his hand on her shoulder he felt how tense her entire body was. Looking to his left to see if she’d woken Ty or not, he started to gently shake her and whisper to her, so he didn’t scare her when she woke. “Butterfly, wake up. You’re safe here with Ty and me.”
When that didn’t work, Ty started to scoot in behind her on the couch and wrapped his arms around her, while Nate got on his knees on the floor in front of her. Ty started whispering to her next. “C’mon
