Waking up, my body throbs in pain, my body shoots up in fear, still thinking I'm in that room that brought me pain,
"Hey, hey, I'm here, you're not alone" I hear a gentle Husky voice speak against my skin,
My vision finally adjusts to the dark and I realize it's not morning yet, looking at the clock, I see the time 4:32 am,
"Hey, look at me" Aaron whispers
I turn on my side so I'm met with his concerned gaze, his arms gently drape over my waist, barely putting weight on it,
"They're gone...David and Wren, died, they can't hurt you anymore" he gently speaks, cupping my jaw in between his warm big hand,
I lean into his touch, my eyes closing slightly "they died?" I whisper
"Yeah...my friend took care of it, I'll explain everything to you when you're not half asleep" he kisses my forehead and gently pushes my head down onto his chest
My hand goes to his tattoo over his heart, I tear up as I lay a gentle kiss over it, I start to tremble, making Aaron drape the blanket over me,
fear crawls up my throat at the feeling that it's like my body is still in that room.
But it's okay...He's here...
I'm alive,
He saved me, and I'm in the protection of his arms, they keep me steady and remind me that I get to live another day getting to be loved by him.
"I'm here, I'll always. Be. Here." He runs his fingers through my hair gently as he speaks
"I love you" I whisper half asleep
"I love you sunshine, so damn much, and I'm so sorry that you had to wait that long for me to find you" he whispers sounding pained,
I shake my head "not your fault"
We lay in silence as he holds me close, breaths ragged and against my hair,
"I missed the talk I was supposed to have with the homeless yesterday" I sigh into his skin,
"Don't worry Henry talked at the meeting and said they're making a lot of progress and many are taking the first steps to change" he says against my head
