I sat up in bed. Oliver walked around to the other side of the room packing his things.
He sighed and looked at me. He grabbed the last of his bags and walked downstairs closing the door behind him.
I hurriedly grabbed the pillow and walked to the window where I saw him put his things in the bus.
He hasn't spoken to me. Not since he heard what I said.
It was a secret that I kept for so long. He told me everything and yet I couldn't tell him about my secret.
I watched as the bus left the street. I cried harder and walked downstairs. I made my way outside and Oscar came running up to me.
I put the pillow under my head as I laid in the grass. Oscar laid on my stomach as I petted his head.
I put an arm across my eyes and cried. Oscar smothered his face under my chin and licked the tears off of it as I sat up.
I looked at the sky and cried. "Why am I a screw up?"
I let my head fall. I got up holding Oscar close to me. I turned to go inside but got bumped with a boney figure.
I looked up and saw Oliver's face. I backed away instantly and let Oscar on the grass. I cleaned my face and sniffed.
"I'm sorry love, I.. I came back to say goodbye. I just.... fuck." He grabbed me and hugged me tightly. "I love you so so much. I will protect you no matter what."
