Let Me Save You

Chapter 35

After that night, he took me home. I never talked to Drew again. I don't know if that was the right decision since he always sneaks his way back into my mind. Bret is better than ever, as am I. I couldn't be happier with him. 

The night that he had brought me home, the night that his parents were still at the meeting, he had took me into his room, laid me on the bed, and whispered to me. 

"Let me take care of you. You will forever be in my care, don't worry about getting hurt. I won't let it happen." I was shaken at this point. I knew that he would have to see what I had done to myself to the full extent. "Bret," I started. "I don't know if I'm ready for this, I mean you don't know what you're going to see-." He cut me off. "Shh, I don't care how your body looks. I will love you to the moon and back." The clothes began disappearing until I was in my underwear and he in his. "So beautiful." He sighed and started kissing down the huge scar that takes over my body. He looked me in the eyes, biting his lip. "Say when." I swallowed hard, thinking hard about if I was ready for this. 

My voice came out in nothing but a whisper. "Now."

"Emily! Have you seen my stupid tie?" Bret called me from the living room. "Are you facing the television?" I called back, in the middle of getting Evan ready for eighth grade and Sophia ready for fifth. "Yeah? So?" I sighed and fixed the kids lunch. "Look to your left." 

"Oh, thanks babe!" I shook my head and smiled. If it were a snake it would have bit him. 

I finished getting the kids ready, gave them their things, and sent them to the bus stop with a kiss on the head and a simple 'I love you'. 

Bret casually walked into the kitchen, a smirk on his face with the adorible wrinkles around his mouth. Everything the same, the same boy that I fell in love with over sixteen years ago. "Thanks, about the tie thing."

"No problem, but next time look a little harder okay?" He chuckled and came close to me, rubbing our noses together. "I don't think you know how much I love you." I just nodded my head. "I think I have a good idea. Come on, we have work to go to." We gave our final kisses to each other, and headed out the door. I went to the front of the house, he went to the drive way of our beautiful house in California. 

Bret and I always figured that we would have ended up together. I can't thank him enough for saving my life. Everyday I think of seeing his face as he held me in his arms, rocking me, trying to get me to calm down. I guess it just took a suicide attempt to jump start our love. Maybe it would have just happened naturally if I didn't act so poorly in my teenage years. 

Even after everything, we made it. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world, but here with him, and the kids.
