She's more than a Astros Fan - George Springer

Chapter 13 - I

~Recap~

She eventually got her breathing under control and she just broke down in my arms. It pained me to see her in this state. I put her in my lap and rocked with her back and forth, kissing her forehead repeatedly. Telling her it's okay and that I'm here.

"What happened?" I said as she was calming herself down.

"I can't." She whispered.

"Yes you can. Talking about your nightmare will-"

"It's not just a nightmare. It's my past. A past that made the way I am." She said.

"George, would you be willing to listen to my story."she asked.

I looked at her and answered.

"Yes. I'll do anything for you Amy."

Amy's POV

I eventually calmed down and I felt bad and embarrassed. I felt bad because it's 3 in the morning and I woke up George. I feel embarrassed because I don't want him to see me this way.

"Amy you don't have to tell me right now if your not comfortable." George said still holding me.

"Believe me when I say I am ready to tell you but....not until tomorrow, I want you to rest for the game and trust me, it's a long story."

"Whenever you want. Are you okay now?" He asked.

"Yeah its just...um...would you mind if I....slept with you tonight...I don't want to be by myself." I asked turning red.

"You don't have to embarrassed to ask me that Amy, of course you can come on." He said grabbing my hand and leading me to his bedroom. He layed down and pulled the covers to let me get in his bed, he pulled the cover over us, turning off his lamp facing towards me. I got closer to him and put my head against his chest and he pulled me closer.

"You get some sleep now and know that your not alone, I'm right here."

I kissed his chest and closed my eyes to let sleep consume me.

~The next day~

I was sitting at George's house watching him and my team play. I called my cousins earlier letting them know that i was okay and that i would be back tomorrow due to there being some water still which is thank god is slowly going away, should be clear by early tomorrow morning. The Astros were playing against the indians and we were winning with the score of 5 to 3. Though I was happy that my boys were winning, I was still nervous to tell George more about me. I know George isn't the one to judge but, what if his feelings change towards me? What if I'm not his ideal girlfriend?

I decided to call my aunt, she's always been there for me when I needed her and like Jenna, she's very wise.

"Hello?"

"Hi tia."

"Amy mi amor como estas?"

"Mal."

"Cual es el problema" My tia asked.

"Um....I'm about to tell George everything."

"Everything as in?"

"Everything about me. My past tia."

She stayed silent for a little bit and then spoke again.

"What made you decide to tell him now?"

"I kinda stayed at his place last night because my car battery died and it was raining and my street was flooded so yeah."
