Lie Some More

Don't Leave

As soon as Alex left the room, i stripped down into my underwear. I climbed in bed as tears continued to fall. I never wanted anything like this. I just wanted a family. 

I shut my eyes and tried to forget what took place in the woods. My heart jumped when I heard a sigh. My eyes shot open only to find Sam staring at me. 

"What are you doing here?" Did he want to kill me? I wondered.

"I'm not going to harm you Erin. I could never bring myself to do that," There was sadness in his voice.

"I just don't understand," then everything came back to me so vividly.  My body started to shake.

"I can't...I can't right now," He sat next to me.

"Why not? Tell me!" I demanded.

"You have no right to order me Erin!" Hurt crept into my very soul. I had no value whatsoever.

"I'm staying here tonight. I won't let you out of my sight," Sam said in a softer voice. 

I couldn't argue with him. 

I tried my best to fall asleep but no matter what I do, I just couldn't. It didn't help that Sam's eyes never left me. Yes, I was afraid of him but a part of me just wanted to collapse in his arms. What was wrong with me? I've been a danger magnet. 

I got up and immediately Sam was on his feet as well. His eyes grew as he scanned my body. I was only in my underwear and I didn't care. He stepped closer as his eyes looked at me intently. I took a step back.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Bathroom," was all I could say.

I brushed past Sam and locked the bathroom door. I cried for almost two hours and when no tears fell, I finally came out.

There he was, waiting for me in bed. I didn't care if he was dangerous. I couldn't be alone. Not anymore.

I climbed in bed next to him and without a single word, he wrapped his arms around me.
