Chapter 18: Trust Is A Strong Word...

Em

I couldn't stop thinking; thinking about what happened that day... The memory replayed over and over in my head but from his and Cameron's point of view.

When I saw the angle from Cam's view, I could see him on top and me, half-naked and helpless.

When I saw it from his angle, I saw the terror in my eyes. I looked like a helpless coward; all I did was scream and yell; try to push him off of me and run away but he just dragged me back to the bed.

That memory just kept replaying until I woke up from my short-term coma.

I blinked a couple a times. My eyes adjusted to the brightness and I looked around the room.

I saw that he was still here and I just scooted away as far as I could.

I almost fell off but my hand grabbed something hard.

I looked up and saw I grabbed Hayes' left knee. He was sleeping till I did that.

"Help me up." I said softly. He quickly helped me up and he kissed my lips.

I kissed back and put my hand on his jawline.

He deepened the kiss but I pulled away a few seconds later. I took in some air and looked down at my thighs.

"I've been waiting a long time to do that." He said panting a bit. I mumbled a, "yeah," and he put his thumb under my chin and lifted my head up.

"I know you're scared but you should try and forget about it. Look, I'm never gonna leave your side, especially after what happened. I should of never-" I interrupted him because he was being stupid.

"I WANT TO FORGET! The memory just keeps on replaying over and over again and again!" I said harshly as I started to tear up. "It's like, whenever I even blink, all I see is him on top of me, a half-naked helpless coward under him and Cameron in the doorway just seeing that sight! It's heart-breaking..." I said the last part softly, tears pooling in my eyes.

He looked me in the eyes and gave me a peck on the lips.

"You aren't a helpless coward. Don't ever say that." He said with his forehead against mines. I smiled and finally, pushing that horrid image to the back of my head, and gave him a long kiss.

We pulled away for a breather and we smiled against each other's foreheads. I moved my eyes towards his face and saw that he was biting his lip. I blushed and laughed.

"C'mon let's go downstairs." He said putting his hand in mine. I gently swing my feet over the edge of the bed and put my feet on the floor.

I slowly stood up and fell into his arms.

"Can you carry me?" I asked with puppy-dog eyes. He smiled and scooped me up in my arms.

Anyway, we left the room and headed down to the kitchen to cook food.

"What time is it?" I asked him as he set me down on a chair, putting my head on the counter.

"It's 8:31." He said as he went into the fridge searching for some food to cook. "Well that's exceptional time for breakfast." I said and smiled.

He cooked some fried eggs and bacon for the both of us.

I took my IPod out of my "new" sweater pocket and handed it to Hayes.

"Before we eat, let's take a selfie." I said and did a fake duck face. He laughed and stuck out my iPod far enough for both us AND our breakfasts to be in the selfie.

For the picture, I kissed his cheek and he smiled goofily as he put up the peace sign.

He took the picture and smiled. I began eating my food and he joined in.
