I care.

I woke up, trying to clear my vision and find Andy. I was laying on his bed and saw him by the couch pacing back and forth, crusing under his breath, hands in tight fists, all while his face was gentle and sad. I felt sharp pains in my side and head. My body ached all over, and I must have let out a whimper, because Andy turned around quickly and ran to the side of his bed. "(Y/N) are you okay?? What happened? Who did this to you??" he asked obviously concerned. I blinked a couple more times trying to clear my vision, took a deep breath and began to explain what had happened, "...I got to my friend's apartment and she got mad at me...it was confusing but I guess you could say she beat me up.." I smiled trying to calm him. Andy looked shocked, upset, and like he was going to kill someone all at one time. Before he could say anything I added "but thats not the worst part. It's what she said to me. She told me that she understood why all my friends and my parents left me. Thats a wound that won't heal." A tear rolled down my face and onto the crease of my lips. Andy softly wiped it away. He looked at me with such a loving and caring look, one that I have not experienced in the longest time. Andy put his head in his hands for a couple seconds, then stood up. "Where the fuck is this friend of yours." he said sounding extremly defensive. "Andy you can't hurt her. It's not right. It would be better to just leave it here and try to forget about it." I said trying to reassure him. "No! I can't! You mean the world to me! I can't stand seeing you in any kind of pain! The person who did this to you can fucking deal with me!" his voice cracked. I did not know how to react. Nobody has said anything like this to me for 3 years. I let silence take over the room for a minute before I sat up "Andy..." he turned around and kneeled by the side of his bed and held my hand. "Andy I need you." I was going to say more but I started to cry once I had heard these words come out of my mouth. Andy sat on his bed and gently moved me onto his lap, with his strong arms. I sat in his embrace for several minutes before he turned me around to face him. He spoke so quietly, almost a whisper, "I need you too. More than you can imagine." he slowly touched the side of my face and neck with his big hands. He leaned towards me and kissed me so delicately. He pulled away but his face remained touching mine. Andy was the first to break the silence and said, still in a whisper "I am really happy you are staying here with me. Thank you so much." I was confused on why he was thanking me. But i returned it with a simple "Me too" and smiled.
