He just left. My dad just left us, and now I am lying on my bed while Shawn played with my hair.
"Why?" I asked Shawn. "Why did he leave? What did I do wrong?"
"I don't know, Julia. But I do know that this is not your fault, you did nothing wrong."
I sat up and turned to face Shawn.
"Thank you for being here with me."
I kissed him gently and laid back down. Shawn pulled me into his chest and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my forehead and I flipped around so I was on my front. Then I nuzzled my head into his chest, and hugged him around the waist. We cuddled in my bed all afternoon and night.
