Leeroy Payne

Chapter 7: Midnight Memories

Amy's POV***

By the time Leeroy had finish cleaning my arms, it was five minutes until midnight. I told Leeroy that I don't want to go back home. He nodded. "You can stay here, Amy. You don't deserve to go back home after what they said about you." He leans down and places a gente kiss on my lips. Everything seemed perfect until my phone started to buzz. My mom finally decided to find out where I was.

Her text read:

~~Hey you little bitch. Where the fuck are you? If you are staying somewhere you need to fucking tell me you fake ass whore. Where are you?~~

Leeroy had been reading the text over my shoulder. He saw me glance down at my bandaged arms. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. "You are none of those things, angel. You are absolutely beautiful." I turned around and cupped his face in my hands. He looked so sincere and loving. I lean in and give him a passionate kiss that lasts for a few minutes. We break the kiss when the clock strikes 12.

I decide to text my mom back.

~~Sorry mom. I texted you. It must not have sent. I am staying the night at my friend's house. Goodnight.~~

She never responded after that. I look up from my phone and Leeroy is rumaging through his drawers. He returns to me with a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt. Why doesn't he wear these clothes if he has them? I take the clothes and walk to the bathroom to put them on.

I come out of the bathroom and Leeroy is laying in bed. He sits up when he sees me. The covers fall off him and I can see that he is shirtless. Without realizing, I look and he has a 6 pack. He shifts over and pats the bed next to him. I walk over and hisitantly get in. He leans over and kisses my cheek. He says, "I just want you to stay warm and I would never do anything that would make you uncomfortable." 

With that, the tension in my body eased up as I slid under the covers. I slid closer to Leeroy so I could feel his body warmth. He notices my closeness and puts his arm around my waist. I rest my head on his chest and listen to my heart beat.

I shudder because I thought back to what my parents had said. Leeroy felt me shudder and pulled me close and said, "It's alright angel. I'm here, and I will be here when you wake up. Get some sleep. You need the rest. I love you."

He then kisses my forehead and with that, I fall asleep in his warm embrace.

Leeroy's POV***

I am lying down with Amy and I can't sleep. She is so beautiful. I listen to her stead breathing. She sounds so calm. It's about 2-o'clock now and I am just glad that I can keep her safe. I now know that she has been through a lot.

I am starting to get tired. I slowly start to drift off but am startled beck to full awareness when I hear Amy start to sob in her sleep. I do everything in power to get her to calm down again. "Shh. Don't cry, Amy. I am here. I'm here like I promised. Everything is okay. I won't let you fall, baby girl. It's okay."

I kiss her on the forehead as her breathing slows down. I leave my lips pressed to her forehead until I know she is fully calm. Once she is I whisper, "I love you, Amy." Then I kiss her forehead one last time before I fall into a deep sleep, listening to the ound of her breathing.
