Chapter 60: Good Terms/ Airport

I had woke up in the morning, realizing that I slept right beside Emma in the same spot and position i last checked when we were awake. I stare over at the clock on the nightstand and it reads 8:25am. I had stared down at her, seeing she was so peaceful with her head lying on me on her side. I stayed still for a moment, not wanting to wake her. I just loved staring at her. I always used to love watching her sleep. And I actually missed this. Especially with her close to me like this.

I couldn't imagine what Emma has gone through. I could see her arm that is lying across my torso, I could see the black and blue bruises. On her wrist, it looked like finger prints. So I assume Noah has hurt her and I couldn't protect her. Mentioning New York to her was obviously the best thing. I think we both need to get away for a bit. But it would do Emma some good, she needs to not focus on Noah. Especially everything he has already done to her.

     I saw Emma just lie there, safe and sound. It made me want to cuddle her. But I didn't wish to do something she might not want. I had stroked her beautiful brown hair and I watched her closed eyes flickering a bit. I looked at her face and the pretty freckles on her nose. I just couldn't keep my eyes off of her. It would be almost impossible. And I had stared at her, feeling her chest breathing softly. And all I felt was hurt for her. It is impossible to actually see someone you love go through such a hard time. Especially when you thought you could put trust into somebody else, it all just backfires.

The most important thing is that she is definitely with the right person; herself. And I didn't think I needed a reason for her to try to fix herself through these wounds. And how would she heal? She needs to be okay with herself and not be with someone who has mistreated her. And so, I had just thought of the first thing by getting up from the bed and I had gotten up and the first thing I did was head into the bathroom to wash my face. And then I headed downstairs and when I got into the kitchen, I had seen a paper magnetizing on the fridge addressed to Emma and me.

     Emma and Christopher,
          This Colleen, I went to take Hallie to Aunt Kat's and I headed into work. I'll be home by two. And Edward had an early shift. He'll be home later on today. Take care you two. And do not destroy the house.

    I had sighed, and I had turned my head away and I quickly had turned on the coffee machine, and I brewed a fresh pot of coffee. And I had just thought it was the best option. And I just kept thinking in my head of what has actually happened last night that I discovered is terrible. I had seen Marshmallow sitting in the entry of the kitchen and I knew that mom and Edward were very smart about a few things. I had found the dog food that they had around in case he is over here. And I had fed him, and I went to just start making Emma the most contentious breakfast.

  I woke up to the continuous sound of buzzing. I opened my eyes, hearing birds singing outside. I realized my existence. And I realized I'm in my old room and my dad's house. The bedroom I grew up in. I kept hearing the loud nonstop buzzing on the nightstand where my phone was lying. I reached over to grab my phone and I found a lot of mid calls from Noah. I had seventeen miscalls from him. I rolled my eyes at the thought of him calling me after everything he has done. I cannot even think of the idea of what Noah is thinking by calling me. I quickly hit the ignore button.

     I remember last night a bit. I remember Christopher being here. But I realize he is not here. I know that couldn't have been a dream. It couldn't have been. And so, I had done the right and only thing, I had gotten up. I heard sounds from downstairs. I had stood patiently and slowly. My back was still sore. I looked down at my arms that were bruised from the abuse impact upon me from Noah. I still keep seeing it from yesterday. I had left out of my bedroom and I decided on going downstairs to see what is going on.
