I woke up the next morning with shirtless Ethan holding me tightly. I smiled to myself, this is the happiest I have been since before my mom died.

My dad never came home last night, which was a relief for me since Ethan came over. I turned around so that I was facing Ethan, and his eyes fluttered open. I smiled at him and he kissed me in return.

"Good morning beautiful." Ethan said softly.

"Good morning." I said in return.

He then picked up my wrist and kissed it gently, making me confused at first. I looked strangely at him, and he just smiled confidently. "I'm going to kiss your scars everyday, until they heal... until you heal."

I had no words. My face went flat and so did his, we just enjoyed the silence of each others presence. He looked into my eyes and I just listened to his breathing, and focused on his eyes.

"You have no idea how much I want to take back everything I did. I love you so much. I loved you so much. I didn't let myself feel that, though, and that is where I went wrong. I let the devil play tricks on my mind. You were right in front of me the whole time, and I knew I was supposed to be with you. I know I caused some of these scars. I know I hurt you so freaking much. I know I made you feel worthless. I'm sorry, but now it's time for me to make up for the crap hole I put you through. Now it's time to show you how much you mean to me, and how your life matters. I don't want you to hurt yourself, and I definitely don't want you to take your own life away. I love you Brandy." Ethan spoke with so much passion and so much meaning.

I was never so good at accepting a kind gesture, so I did what came natural and I kissed him, which I don't think he minded.
