Redemption (Romesse story) MCSM

Part 8.

Nobody's POV:
"Romeo, are you alright?" Jesse asked, with concern in her voice. "...." There was no response from him and she found herself in an awkward situation where she didn't know what to say, so she pulled him into a gentle hug. "I don't exactly know how you're feeling, but I hope this makes you feel better.." Jesse whispered, now a little calmer. "It did. Thank you Jesse." Romeo said gratefully and hugged her back.

~Skip to nighttime bc I'm lazy sorry~

Romeo's POV:
*I walked down Beacontown, ashamed of what I did to everyone. I understand what I did wrong... I looked at the floor as I heard the people I hurt whisper names about me. When I least expected it, they started throwing things at me and attempting to beat me up with their weapons. "Everyone, that's enough! Nobody here would do that to you if you did what Romeo did!" Jesse covered me right as someone shot an arrow towards me....
**stab**
In front of me I see her...laying on the floor...helpless and dying. The hero who helped me out of the void, is now gone. *

I jolted upwards, it was like I could hear my heartbeat racing. It felt like it was going to burst out of my chest at any second. *it was just a dream...* I thought, relieved. Seeing as I was now awake, I wearily got out of bed and went to get some water. As I passed Jesse's room, I heard a light sob. Concerned, I knocked and waited for a response.
"Yeah?.." She said quietly which was my que to open the door. "Are you okay? I can hear you crying from outside."
"I wasn't crying!" Jesse whispered angrily while wiping her tears swiftly, trying her best to cover it up. "Yes you were. Jesse, if you want to talk to someone I'll be happy to if it will help gain your trust."
I hopped onto her bed and signalled for her to lay down, pulling the covers over her to keep her warm.
"So, what's bothering you?"
"I've just been having some nightmares recently..that's all." She replied leaving me with another question. "What are they about?"
"They're mostly about me getting abandoned by all my friends, because they aren't talking to me as much and we barely adventure anymore. Now I can say I understand where Petra is coming from.." Jesse replied again, a little sadder than before. "Don't worry, im here for you." I may not be exactly the best friend to have but I'm trying my best. "Romeo, you're a great friend, despite the ups and downs." She sat up and gave me a big hug. With me being taller than her, I hugged back and was able to put my chin on her head, which seemed to make her happier. We pulled away, and she layed back down. I thought maybe that meant she wanted me to go, so I got up and walked towards her door. "Romeo-wait-can you maybe...stay here tonight?" She asked a little embarrassed. "Okay, if that's what you want." I chuckled and got back into bed and she shifted closer and drifted off to sleep, her breathing evening out. It's funny, whenever I am close to her I get this feeling I can't describe. I thought she needed to be comfortable, so I pulled her closer to me and wrapped an arm around her, stroking her back.
