-Katie-
"Hey ba- oh my god what happened?"
I bit my lip in an attempt to stop the remaining tears from spilling over my eyes. But it didn't work, I collapsed into George, giving him the biggest hug. He definitely did give the best cuddles.
"Babe please tell me"
He had his one hand gripping me tightly around the waist and the other stroking my hair. I automatically felt safe around him and eventually my tears stopped. I pulled away and looked up at him
"I am going to say hi to the boys and then I am going to bed, I will tell you everything then, okay?"
"Okay babe"
I wiped the tears off my cheeks and walked through to the living room,
"Hi boys! Had a nice evening?"
"Yeah lovely"
"Good, well I will see you around some time, I am going to bed"
"Nice meeting you Katie" Josh said to me
I walked into our bedroom and put my onesie on and climbed under the bed covers waiting for George.
Just as I was getting comfy there was a knock on the bedroom door.
"Hello?"
"Its Jaymi, can I come in?"
"Um yeah of course"
Jaymi opened the door and peered around the corner, before coming to sit on the bed next to me.
"Listen, George told us everything. No one should ever have to go through that and I just wanted to say, if you ever need someone to talk to, I am always here okay babe?"
"Thankyou Jaymi" I pulled him into a hug
"Oh and by the way, George was bullied really badly when he was younger, so if anyone can help you get through this, its him"
"Oh, he never told me that"
"It is a sensitive subject I suppose"
"Well thanks Jaymi"
"Its aright babe, here is my number, call or text me if you need me"
"Will do"
Jaymi gave me a quick hug and then left. Then George came through the door, giving me a sympathetic smile.
"YOUR IN A ONESIE" He seemed to get a tad excited at the fact I was wearing one
"Are you okay George? You seem a bit excited"
"I love onesies, let me put mine on"
He left the room and soon came back in with an extremely fluffy monkey onesie on.
"Well that is cute" I said smiling up at him
He climbed into bed next to me, and pulled me closer to him, intertwining his fingers behind my back. Our faces were inches apart and I could feel his warm breath tickling my forehead. He started to stroke my cheek where a purple bruise had now appeared.
"Babe there is a cut here, you need to clean it up a bit"
"It will be fine George"
"No babe, it could get infected, now come with me"
"George I-"
Before I knew it George had yanked me out of bed and had pulled me towards the kitchen. He lifted me up on the counter and started rummaging through one of the cupboards before bringing out a first aid kit. He stepped in front of me and stood in between my legs, wiping away the blood from my cheek. He then used an antiseptic wipe, the chemicals making me wince in pain.
"Sorry babe"
"Its not your fault"
George looked to the floor and spoke quietly,
"Are you going to tell me what happened?"
"Okay, I was walking to the park when someone stopped me. When I looked up to see who it was, it was this girl from my college, Jess. She has always hated me, constantly tormenting me when she gets the chance. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, she saw me coming out of your apartment so she started making fun of me and stuff then before I knew it I was on the floor after she punched me"
"Babe, she sounds pathetic so just try to ignore it"
"How can I ignore it when it is constantly happening? Any chance she gets she jumps in, she knows I hate it"
George stopped fussing with my cheek and just looked at me.
"I know how you feel babe, but I promise, I will help you get through this okay? Plus, if you act like it doesn't affect you they will back off, I know its hard, but it does help"
"George?"
"Yeah"
"Why didn't you tell me about getting bullied when you were younger?"
I could sense he tensed up after I asked him, worried about his reaction I quickly butted in,
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked"
"No, its fine, I just, I suppose I never thought it was relevant. And I didn't want to scare you off by telling you anything"
"Babe that's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, you could never scare me off, you are far too perfect"
He smiled up at me in response before lifting me off the counter and walking back into his bedroom, I was just about to walk into my room when he said
"Where ya going?"
"To my room?"
"No, you are sleeping in here with me tonight, I want my cuddles"
I couldn't help but smile to myself and blush
"Well come on then, I cant wait all night"
I ran up to George and wrapped my arms around his neck before pressing my lips against his. I could feel his mouth turn up into a smile against the kiss, before he traced my bottom lip with the tip of his tongue. I parted my lips slightly, and we deepened the kiss. George eventually pulled away and we both gasped for breath
"Well that was nice" George said
"I know, now lets go have those cuddles"
We both lay down in Georges bed next to eachother. My back was against his chest and I could feel it rising as he took each breath.
"Oh, I need to give you this" He said before pulling away from me and turning to his bedside table. He rummaged through his drawers before pulling out a key.
"This is my spare key, you should have it seeing as you live here now"
"George, are you sure you want to give me this?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?
"Well we haven't even been together three days yet"
"But I already know that I love you enough to give you this"
"Y-you love me?"
"Yes, I love you"
I let his words sink in before finally speaking again myself
"I love you too George"
