As she cried on her pillow, she scratched the bedframe with her fingernails. Her face was red, and her nose blocked, she hiccupped and sobbed uncontrollably. No matter how hard she tried, the hurtful words kept coming back to her, hitting her hard, shattering her heart.
A hand knocked softly on the door, followed by a gentle voice," Love...please..."
"No!" she screamed stubbornly.
"Please...just open the door..", he said a little aggressively.
"No..."she whispered.
"Please..."his voice broke.
She could not bear him being hurt.
She unlocked the door and he took her into his arms.
She inhaled his cinnamon and bread scent and burried her face into his shoulder.
He breathed into her hair, his arms flexing around her.
"I am sorry...it's all because of me..." he spoke softly.
She shook her head.
"We can do this...we will be fine...."he whispered desperately.
"I believe you." she finally said.
"Please do. You are my only hope,"he told her, looking into her eyes.
She closed her eyes for a second.
Reality sucked her back to consciousness.
It was just a dream.
When she woke up..he wasn't there to wipe away her tears.
