Choices

27

A whole two weeks since I fell asleep with Kylian, he has begun getting up and around properly and he even went to training yesterday to start a physiotherapy class.

But he came home in the evening with a bit of a grump, they told him that he will not be back to full time football for longer than they thought.

The police have been round twice now, once each week that has gone by. They have been reporting information to me and Kylian, and getting it from us also. They said that they took Jack into custody, but they don't yet have enough evidence to charge him.

The potential charges is assault, attempted murder, and GBH. They just have to prove that Jack was there at the time the crime was committed.

I am laying on my bed, it is ten o'clock and Sam is already asleep in his room, and Kylian, I have no idea what he is doing.

I flick through my phone, I flick through my photos specifically.

Jack and me, all over my screen right now, and sadness fills me as all the memories of our somewhat happy past consume me.

Pictures of us in university, pictures of us at dinner, on rollercoasters, pictures of our life and what we had.

And I let myself go as I begin to delete every single one.

Tears flood down my face and my heart breaks more as I delete this monster from my life.

With each click of the tiny bin icon, a piece of me melts away. There is no way I can deny that Jack hasn't been a big part of my life. I don't know where I would be without this boy's help. But I know that he is not the same boy now as I see in these photos that are disappearing off of my phone.

And then they're all gone.

Every little trace of him, gone.

He is finally out of my life, but I know that I will have to see him again. In court, I will have to tell a judge what happened the night he decided to pay us a little visit, I will have to face him again.

My eyes now sting from how much I have been crying over a boy that has hurt me both physically and mentally.

A knock sounds on the door and I quickly sit up wiping the tears away with my sleeve.

Kylian's head pokes round and his brown eyes flash with worry as they fall upon me. He closes the door quietly as he tiptoes into the room over to me. His arm reaches out and he takes my phone from my hand before placing it down onto the bedside table.

Then he lays onto my bed and pulls one of the grey fluffy blankets over us. He cradles me in his arms and I hold back the tears that threaten to spill. "I know, I know, but it's okay, baby, because I am here, and I am never going to ever let you go." Kylian whispers soothingly and his hands run through my hair.

His soft lips press against my forehead and I wipe the remaining water that is spread over my face. My skin on my cheeks now irritated and sore. "I am so sorry." I croak and pick up one of his hands.

I hold it in mine and the warmth of his skin causes butterflies to erupt in my stomach. "For what?" His voice is muffled as his mouth is against my forehead, kisses repeatedly being pressed against my head.

I huff and look up at the boy holding me through tears. "For everything. If I had never fallen for you none of this would have ever happened. You would still be able to play football, you wouldn't have been attacked by him, it's all my fault that you are in this mess and..."

"Liv, shush, please. I would rather be in this mess with you than not be in this mess and not have you." His thumb grazes along the surface of my face and I watch as his gaze flickers down to my lips.

"But why?" My voice is now barely a whisper and I don't look anywhere else but at him.

Kylian doesn't say anything he just cups my face with his hands gently and closes the gap between us.

His lips now on mine. We move in unison and we are like two pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly. His tongues slips into my mouth and a slight groan escapes. I heat up feeling embarrassed but Kylian doesn't seem to mind as his hands move from my face down to one on my waist and one beside my head onto the pillow.

Then he rolls over making me go weak all over, my breath is stolen from me and his lips kiss me harder.

This escalated fast.

His lips leave me and his eyes sparkle with happiness and I think with a hint of love.

Hi,

Yes I know, I have been slacking so much, missing an update and this one must be a little disappointing.

So, I am going to try and get you a double update for Wednesday and Sunday next week to make it up to you.

See you Wednesday,

Daisy xxx
