*Lily's p.o.v*
I slept for 12 hours and it was the best sleep in the world. I woke up groggy and feeling nauseous but relaxed at the same time. I could of easily rolled back over and gone back to sleep but I pulled myself of bed and I brushed my teeth. I just kept Travis's jumper on as it was so comfortable.Then I left the bedroom and saw Travis sitting on the couch. He was sitting back on his phone. His eyes came to mine.
"Good morning sunshine" he said
I looked at the time and it was almost 2pm.
"Good morning"
I walked over and I curled up on the couch beside him. Travis put his arm over my shoulders.
And I rested my head on his chest.
"Did you sleep alright?"
"Yeah. Really good"
"I came to check your pulse a few times, you were out of it"
"Thank you for getting me the pills"
"It's alright, I don't want you taking them every night though. They are really strong"
I sighed.
"Okay. I need to sleep though babe, I know you don't understand it but it makes me feel numb"
"I know I don't fully understand it but I don't want you getting addicted. You have to deal with the feelings without drugs eventually babe"
"It's not the feelings. It's the nightmares"
"Have you considered going to see a therapist?"
"Too expensive"
"I can pay for it baby"
"No"
"What do you mean no?"
"I mean no. I can't do it. I don't want you to pay for anything"
"I'm happy to do it"
"It's fine"
I closed my eyes and listened to his heartbeat.
He rubbed my back and I just melted into him.
Travis was my safe person.
And I regret ever pushing him away.
Even though I thought at the time he was responsible, I felt so bad about that. I knew that if that didn't happen he could of helped me heal.
"Hey" Travis squeezed me and he looked at me so worried, I realised I had tears running down my cheeks.
"Sorry. I just feel really bad about everything I did to you"
"Lily don't worry about it. You had been hurt, I don't blame you for taking it out on me, you were told it was me right?"
"Yes" I stiffened at the harrowing thought of being whispered to that this was for Travis.
"You weren't in the right headspace. You had been badly hurt. I take what you said very lightly"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah"
"Am i at risk of it happening again because I'm friendly with you again?"
"No. I won't let it happen to you again"
"But you can't keep your eye on me 24/7"
"I've had eyes on you baby. Since the night you came here. One of my men have always been watching you baby"
