Riley POV

Just like the first time I was here, I woke up in Lizzie's arms. I look up and see that Lizzie is still asleep. She had a small smile on her face, a happy one. I lie my head back on her chest and smile to myself. She picked me up. She came through when I need her the most. She listen and made me laugh. I fell asleep in her arms and felt safe. I felt safe. This is the first time this hit me. I feel a few tears fall down my cheek. I feel safe with Lizzie, safer than I have ever felt since my parents died. I keep thinking about what that means and the tears keep flowing.

I feel Lizzie move around a bit and I don't want to disturb her sleep so I try to move out of her grip. She holds me in place. I panic a little, last night came back to me. My breathing picks up as I try to remain calm. I try to move a bit more and feel that I can move. Her grip is not that strong.

''Sweetie, are you okay?''

''Yes.''

''Now the truth please.''

''I just had a little flashback when I thought I couldn't move.''

''Oh, I am sorry!'' She says while letting go and looking at me. I look at her but I don't move, not wanting her to feel bad about it. There is nothing she did wrong. There is nothing she could've done to make my stupid mind stop spiraling. It seems like that is the only thing my mind can do. It's my fault anyways. What happen yesterday is my fault. I should have said 'no' more clearly. I should have pushed him harder. I should not have drank the drink that tasted funny. I shouldn't have lied about going to a party. I should've yelled, screamed. I should've done more. I didn't. Its my fault. But for now I am trying to make Lizzie feel better. She is the only one that brings me comfort since my parents passed away.

''It is okay Lizzie, I didn't want to wake you so tried to move, but you are already awake now.''

''Hmm, I want to go back to sleep though.''

''Than sleep, Lizzie. I am not going anywhere... For now.'' I don't want to add the 'for now' but I know she will get sick of me in the end and I won't ever see her again.

''I never want you to leave.'' She says before I feel her breathing even out, signaling she is asleep again. She doesn't ever want me to leave. What does that mean? I let myself think about that for a bit, while also closing my eyes again.

I woke up for the second time today. Lizzie is still asleep. I sit up and look for my phone. I grab it but it doesn't turn on, I never charged it. I look at the nightstand on Lizzie's side and see her phone plugged in. I get up and walk around the bed. I check and see that her phone is fully charged so I switch them out. I also see that Robbie had messaged her. I don't see what he send because I am not going to invade her privacy like that but it makes me feel bad. I am sure he wanted to be home and in his own bed but instead, I interrupted that, and as far as I know, he isn't here. I decide to go downstairs and make some breakfast for us, hopefully making up for all the trouble I cause.

Lizzie POV

I wake up hearing a glass fall. I sit up in bed in a panic, thinking there is an intruder. I look around and see that Riley isn't in bed. She must be downstairs. I slip on some house slippers and walk downstairs. When I enter the kitchen I see Riley standing surrounded by glass, frozen, with her back to me. I begin to speak softly, trying not to startle her.
