Tough love

I love you

Ch 6

I slowly opened my eyes to view my surroundings. I was on my bedroom floor. How I got here I don't even know. All I know is I'm in so much pain. It's hard for me to breathe. I went to rub my face an I got dried blood on my hands. Must've been from my dad. That's must've what happened last night. I remember Austin was over here and I kept begging him to go, so my dad shoved him out of the house. Way to ruin a relationship. I tried to stand up to go get cleaned up but my legs were so weak that I just fell down again.

I finally made it to the bathroom after my 6th try. I cleaned my face off and went to look at my stomach which was in the most pain. I lifted my shirt and it was all black and blue. I'm surprised I didn't have eternal bleeding. It hurt so bad. I felt tears starting to fall down my face. I remembered my dad was at work so I slowly climbed down the stairs and out the door. It wasn't that far of a walk since he lived next door but it took a little longer since I was in a lot of pain.

I didn't see his moms car so I assumed she was at work. I just needed him. I wanted him. I just need to be comforted right now by the one person that I can actually call my own and that's Austin. I reached the door after what seemed like forever and I decided not to knock to just walk straight in. I'm hoping he's home.

"Austin?" I called out.

I assumed he was here because I heard running down the stairs. He just looked at me without saying a word and ran to my side. He pulled me into a hug. Although it hurt a little bit I hugged back smiling into his neck.

"You're okay! I'm so happy you're okay! What did he do to you?" By the look on his face I could tell he was sad and mad.

"Austin calm down I'm okay." I tried to calm him down a little bit.

He started dragging me over to the couch. He set down first and pulled me onto his lap.

"Ow."

"Baby whats wrong?"

"Oh n- nothing. I'm fine babe." I said pecking his lips.

He grabbed hold of my waist and pulled me into him. Again I said ow.

"Baby let me see what he did." Before I could say anything he laid me down and lifted my shirt up enough to expose my stomach.

"That's what he did to you! Why didn't you tell me!"

I fought back my tears. "Austin really I'm fine I've dealt with him since I was little."

"But this is serious. You could have died!" He looked like he was on the verge of tears.

I pulled him into me and started hugging him. He talked into my neck saying stuff like 'I don't know what I would do with out you.' 'I can lose you.' 'I love you.'

I could feel my neck getting wet and him crying into me. He said he loved me tho. I hope he actually meant it because I think I love him too. I've never felt this way about anyone. I liked the feeling tho. It made me feel good. It made me feel like I could trust again. I love him I really do. I don't ever want to lose him. I know we have just been dating for a short time but it feels like it's been forever. I can't even begin to explain how he makes me feel.

"Babe. Look at me."

He lifted his head and stared directly into my eyes. "What?" His eyes were glossed over from his tears that were still falling. I took my hand and wiped them away. He gently kissed my hand.

"You could never lose me."

"Good I don't want too. You're to important for me to lose and I know I have only known you for a short time but I love you." I could tell he meant it his eyes said it all.

I looked him in the eyes and gave him a delicate kiss on the lips. I pulled back and smiled. I swept my lips across his ear and whispered to him. "I love you too."
