Third person POV

Eric watched in awe and love as he watched Shelly and Hannah. Hannah was laid across the couch, laying her upper body across Shelly's, Hannah's head was laying on top of Shelly's stomach, while Shelly read a book, he had no idea what she was reading, but she seemed interested in it, but he watched as she ran a hand over Hannah's head, gently running her hand through her raven hair. Eric let out a soft chuckle when he heard a soft purr come from Hannah's throat, he watched as Hannah cuddled deeper into Shelly. Hannah's arms wrapped around Shelly's waist, it was a beautiful sight to Eric, to see them like this, so comfortable with one another like this, he could see that Hannah felt comfortable and safe with Shelly, like Shelly was Hannah's protector, with all the shit she's been through, he could see why Hannah was the submissive in the relationship.

'Something about you
It's like an addiction hit me with your best shot, honey'

He knew She just wanted to be grounded, to be loved, and to be protected. And he knew that's what they would give her. He had two women to love, he had Shelly, and he had Hannah, who he both loved dearly. They were his life now, his everything, and he knew they didn't just love him, but each other. He could see it in the way they held each other, the way they looked at each other, and the way they touched each other. Their love wasn't one sided, but all sided, he loved them, and they loved him, but they also loved each other. As odd as it might seem to others on the outside, but they couldn't give a damn what people thought about them. They loved each other, and that's all that should matter. Their love for each other.

'I've got no reason to doubt you (doubt you)
'Cause certain things hurt and you're my only virtue (virtue)
And I'm virtually yours'

Shelly felt at peace in this moment, silent reading, with her lover laying against her, her hand running through Hannah's beautiful raven hair, she giggled softly as she heard a purr come from Hannah's throat, her beautiful Skye was safe and happy, she was comfortable laying against her like this. She knew what Hannah went through was a lot, even though she didn't know the whole truth besides her being on the streets, she knew there was more to the story, but she would wait patiently until the day she told her the whole truth. She knew Hannah was scared and afraid, but she knew she wasn't when it was just the three of them. She could feel Hannah melt into her as she laid her upper body against her, she knew them and there, that she felt safe with her. She knew with what Hannah went through, that she wasn't the dominant in the relationship, and she didn't mind that, she knew her little Skye just wanted to be safe, protected and loved. And that's what she'll give her, because she did love her, she wanted her to feel safe, she wanted to keep her safe, she wanted to protect her, and that's what she'll do. Because she loved her. Shelly looked down and away from her book, looking down at Hannah, she looked so comfy and snug as she cuddled into her, she could feel a smile appearing on her lips. Her beautiful Skye, she would try with everything in her to keep her safe, as long as she was alive, she would keep her safe. Because no matter what people said or did, she loved her, and she loved Eric. They were her two loves, and nothing was ever going to change that. No one and nothing was ever going to change that. No matter what. Not even death.

'And you keep coming back, coming back again
Keep running round, running round
Running round my head (my head)
And there's certain things that I adore
And there's certain things that I ignore'

Hannah felt content, happy, safe, loved, and protected. She didn't feel as tense, she didn't feel like she always had to keep her guard up, not with them, she always knew since the beginning, that they would keep her safe, and that's what she felt now, safe, and loved. She felt loved, by these two people, and she loved them, and she hoped with every fiber of her being, that it never go away. Because she didn't know what she would do if her guardian angels suddenly stopped loving her. But she had a feeling that would never happen. A warm feeling ran over her body as she knew that, she knew Shelly and Eric would never stop loving her, and she knew that she would never stop loving them. Despite the fact that they haven't said the 'L' word yet, they didn't really need to say it, when they showed it. But one of these days, she would say it, because she wanted them to know that she loved them, with every being of her, with all her heart. Despite being afraid that one day that their love would stop, she knew she would always love them, and she wanted them to know that. She wasn't afraid of love anymore, she wasn't afraid to love them, she wasn't afraid to feel things now, not like she used to. With them, she felt human, she felt things she hadn't felt in years, and it was all thanks to them. She was grateful to them, because without them she would still be laying against the side of a building, scared out of her mind, or maybe, probably dead. But she was here now, she was right here, with the two people she loved more then anything. And she knew they loved her too. Despite not saying it, she knew. She knew. And that's all that mattered. She didn't care what people said, fuck them if they ever say anything negative about their love, because none of it would matter, because she would have them, and they would have her, and that's all that mattered. Their love was all that mattered. And no one nor anything was ever going to change that. Not even death itself could change that.

'But I'm certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours
Certain that I'm yours'

(I keep seeing the Crow on Facebook, it was like a sign to me write for this story, but of course I would see the Crow on Facebook, because I follow a group that post things about it and Brandon, and sometimes I tear up thinking about the movie and about Brandon, because I know he's been gone for a long time now, over 30 years that he's been gone, and seeing as it's the 30th anniversary of the movie, I knew I had to post a few chapters to this story. I know it's not the same as my sister writing the story, as you all can tell, my writing is a little different then hers, I hope you can understand, and I really hope you guys like these chapters. I myself loved the Crow and Brandon Lee).
