Falling for her/him

Chapter 11

Amanda's POV

Holding Simon's hands in mine, I tried to think of some way to convince him it wasn't his fault.

"You can't think of anything. Can you?" he says searching for an answer.

"Simon, it wasn't your fault because I let him keep doing it." I lied, not sure what to say.

"Stop telling a lie. Your a terrible lier." he says smiling.

"Si, I can't tell you how but maybe I can show you." I said.
I take his hand while looking at the time. It's 4 in the morning so I tell him to get dressed. He puts on his jeans and then walks beside where his dresser is. I see a tear rolling down his cheek. Reaching my hand to his face, I wipe his face and then kiss where the tear was. I hate seeing him cry because he rarely does. When he does it breaks my heart. After he puts his shirt on I tell him we are driving to my house. Once in the house I grab his hand and pull him to my room and sit him down on the bed. I get into my bedside table and grab a small journal out. I hand it to him and then speak.

"This is a journal of everyday he beat me. It helped me to write from the very first day. Just read it and tell me when your done." I say quietly and then walk away.

Simon's POV

I open the book Amanda handed me and begin to read. As I flip through the pages and everything I'm reading is breaking me down. About half way through I can barely read anymore. I rub my face and put the book down to go find Amanda. Walking into the kitchen there she is at the counter shaking and crying. I slowly walk behind her and wrap arms around her small body. She gasps and slowly turns around. Her eyes are puffy and red and her face is wet from tears. Looking at her hurting makes me wish I could fight all the pain for her. I lay a kiss on her neck, her jaw, cheek, then her lips.

"I understand." I say looking her in the eyes.

She smiles and plays with my hair on the back of my head. "I-I'm so happy you know its not you." she says sniffling.

I chuckle lightly at her happiness and softly kiss her lips. I pick her up and put her on the counter top.

"I'll never let that happen again. Even if it kills me." I say rubbing her face.
Our lips lock and dont let go.
I pull away slightly trying to catch my breath. I chuckle lightly and pull her into my chest wrapping my arms around her tightly.
"Baby Girl, I love you." I say softly.
