You and Him Against the World

Chapter Six

I walk through my front door and dial Clay's number.

"Hello"
"Clay I need you now," I sob into the phone.
"Liz what's wrong," Clay ask his voice full of worry.
"Just come to me," I say and hung up.

I fall on the couch and cry and cry. I don't know how long incited but next thing I know I was being rocked by Clay. "It's okay, I'm here," he said rubbing my head. "He was murdered Clay, I thought he was a horrible person," I sobbed in his shoulder. "Who your father," he asked. "Mmhmm I'm the horrible person," I said. "No Darling your not the horrible person, those people are," he said. I nod in agreement and yawn. I nod off in Clay's arms. When I wake I'm in bed. I sit up and stretch. When I do a yawn comes out. Then I smell something cooking. Then it all hits me I start too cry again. I remember that Clay was here before I feel asleep. I look under my blanket. "Whew okay I still have my clothes," I say out loud. "Yea nothing happened last night," Clay says walking in with a tray of breakfast. "Hehe sorry I didn't mean too offend you," I said apologetically. "It's all Darling, how did you sleep," he asks while setting down the tray in my lap. "I sle...oh wow," I was distracted by my breakfast. "Hahaha so I can tell you have not ate a meal in awhile," he said handing me a fork and napkin. My plate had bacon, eggs, strawberries,and French toast. "Ooh strawberries are my favorite," I say eating them first. "Yeah I know," he said looking at me hopeful. I look in his eyes. I gasp, "Clay I remember you." He smiles, "about time you remember Lizzy." I smile a genuine Liz smile I haven't smiled in awhile. "Well I have too go, I will be back before night fall," he said getting up. "Okay Clay I'm just gonna clean the house," I say finishing my food. "Hey are there-." Clay looks at me and smiles, "yes their are more strawberries down stairs." Wow he is something, I thought. As I was thinking to myself he can and grabbed my hand. "Please stay here, don't leave and text me if you want or need anything," he said sternly. "A..alright," I said blushing. Then he rubbed my head and left.
