Starting Anew?

~Renee's POV~ 

I listened to Jaira talk for a few hours untilnI got her to calm down. Even though she really didn't want to tell me what was going on, I just calmed her down and got her to relax and sleep after we were on the phone. 

I sigh and come lay in bed with Ed, watching as he sleeps, his chest rise and fall as he takes steady breaths and his hair all over his head, it's probably my most favorite way to see him. Not that I don't love when he's up and about, but with all the stress that his job puts on him, I love when he's sleeping and for those few hours, he's at peace and can relax 

"why are you staring at me?" hearing him groan and turn towards me, his eyes still closed 

"I wasn't" i whisper and get comfortable looking at him 

"Rae, we've been together for a long time, I know when you're staring at me" he mumbles and pulls me in closer, nuzzling his face into my chest, making me smile and laugh a little 

"OK, OK. I was. Go back to sleep" I mumble as i kiss his forehead and massage his scalp, hearing a low moan from him and he tightens his grip on me as he goes back to sleep

When I wake up the next morning, Ed is still holding onto me and asleep, making me smile as I look at our alarm clock, we still have almost an hour, but I always make him breakfast. Getting up quickly, yet carefully so he doesn't wake up, putting my pillow in my place 

Walking into the kitchen, I grab everything out to make us breakfast. I turn on the coffee pot and start making eggs and bacon, while the bacon cooks, I make Ed his lunch for the day. 

I act as though, I'm his wife and I'm not, well not yet. We've talked about marriage and kids, and we want them, both, but not til later in life. Ed had a hard life and came from a troubled background, I do baby him sometimes. I'll admit and sometimes he has to tell me that he's a grown man and that he can do things for himself, and other times, he'll come home and cuddle up to me like a little kid, holding me tight because he never had anyone that was really there for him. When we started dating, he hated and I mean hated going home so as we got older, my parents would let him sleep over, thankfully. 

Then, when he begged me to move in with him and I kept saying no because I thought my parents would go crazy, he of course didn't listen to me and one day after I got home from school, he was already there talking with my parents about me moving in with him and eating almost all of the cookies my mom had made because he was so nervous. I waited for him to come upstairs, with his adorable nervous look on his face as he bit his lip. 

That day I really wanted to scream and get mad at him, but I couldn't because he had taken it into his own hands and done what he wanted to anyway and that weekend, I moved in with my big baby of a boyfriend and haven't looked back on my decision. I smile to myself, thinking about it as I feel big arms snake themselves around my waist and his warm lips kiss the nape of my neck, "Morning" his low groggy voice sends shivers down my spine 

"Good morning baby, breakfast is done and i'm making your lunch. Oh, and the coffee is done and I already made you a thermos for work" I explain as I finish packing his lunch up and set it in the refrigerator to stay cold until we leave

"Rae, you didn't have to" he sighs and stretches 

"I know, but I do it every morning and you know if I just stopped you'd be sad and not very well fed" As I laugh, I make our plates and grab our glasses of juice and set them down on the table, he walks over and sits down and starts to eat after he's said 'thank you' for the hundredth time

   We finished breakfast, took a shower, got ready and drove over to Jairas house to pick her up. She came out, just in sweats and a sweatshirt, tennis shoes and hair in a messy bun, she gets in the car and doesn't say anything, just buckles up and immediately puts her ear buds in, making me sigh, thankfully Ed drives off. 

As we arrive to school, Jaira gets out and walks off, leaving me with Ed who kisses me and tells me things will be OK, also telling me he has a surprise for Jaira that should make her feel better when he comes to pick us up after school, I give him a questioning look, but let it go and refuse to try to figure out what he has planned, kissing him again before I get out and go to my locker and go about my business during the school day

~~~ Jairas POV~~~ 

I know It was rude to just block them out, but I'm really not in the mood for the questions and them trying to coddle me and ask a billion questions. Although, I highly doubt that Ed knows that I called Renee crying last night, but still. I don't want any questions from either of them. 

What Jason said really hit me hard last night and it pisses me off that he actually got under my skin and it's effecting me this much to the point where I don't even want to talk to my friends, the only ones that have been there for me through everything I've been through, and that makes me even more mad at myself. 

Since there's time before class starts, I go to my locker and then go outside and take a walk around the school grounds and sit in the garden and just listen to music for a little bit, not long after I sit down, I feel someone sit next to me. Thinking that it's just some random person, I get up and start to walk away before I'm pulled back into a strong and muscular chest, already knowing who it is, sighing as he turns me around and looking down, he takes my ear buds out and hands them to me 

"look at me" whispering to me, trying to touch my face, but I slap his hands away from me 

"don't, get away from me" I push him away, although because he's bigger and heavier than me he really didn't budge 

"Let me explain" he sighs, running his hands through his hair 

"No, no explaining. You're the one that told me to stay away from you last night. I'm doing just that, I don't have time for your games, OK? Leave me alone"

Walking back to the entrance of school, just feeling defeated. i know I shouldn't, but there's just something about dealing with Jason that drains me, and not the good kind. Is there a good kind of draining? I don't know anymore... 

~~~ 

The day goes by quickly, thankfully. During lunch, I caught up with Rae and told her what was going on, she said she completely understood that I needed space and time to think about things. When Ed picked us up, we go a different way than normal 

"Uh, Ed you do know where I live by now, right?" 

"Yes, I know" he laughs and before I know it, he pulls into the parking lot of an office building "I had to come back to work for a bit, to get some things. You guys can come in" he explains and Rae gets out and I follow, even though I look like a complete bum, It's fine. 

Ed takes us up to the floor his office is on, it's a nice place. I'm very proud of Ed for how far he has come in such a short time, makes me feel as though there is a light at the end of the tunnel 

Ed opens his office door, and right before I can move to walk in, these two guys come in. One of them is pretty all over the place, the other is just kind of there, standing around, which makes me laugh a little. Rae is sitting on Ed's lap as he's looking through his desk for something and talking with his friends, I come into the room a little 

"Um, Ed? Where's the restroom?" 

"I'll show you" Rae starts to get up 

"No, I'll show her" the guy that was bouncing all over the place says, and before I could protest, he grabs my arm takes me out Ed's office 

"My name is Chris" he says, putting his hands into is jeans as we stop by the restroom
