Science and faith

~Chapter 131~

Amy's pov:

I stared at his phone for a few moments longer wondering if I just read that correctly. But once I realized those texts really said what I thought they said I put his phone down again. I seriously hoped that I just misinterpreted those texts, but then again, what else could they mean. I mean, this Katy was pretty clear in what she wanted.

Sighing, I closed my laptop and made my way upstairs to go to bed. As I walked into our bedroom I found Dan fast asleep, looking as cute as ever. It was hard to believe that he's probably seeing someone else behind my back cause he was so normal around me, just like he always is. And even when I told him that Katy had called he acted like it was nothing important.

I got into bed as well but turned my back to Dan, not wanting to cuddle right now or lie wrapped in his arms. I lay with my thoughts for a long time and decided to not say anything and see if Dan would say something himself when he'll see the texts himself.

I felt my heart break at the thought of him being with another woman and me not being good enough. I felt tears forming in my tears and I bit hard on my bottom lip to stop them from spilling over.

After lying awake for hours I eventually fell into a dreamless sleep.

When I woke up again, I was lying in bed on my own. I was lying on the far edge of the bed so I rolled over to the middle a little bit. I could still feel Dan's warmth so he hasn't been out of bed for long.

I lay on my own for a few moments longer until I decided to get up as well. I picked up Dan's clothes from the floor where he left them last night and took them with me to the bathroom. As I walked into the bathroom I found Dan standing in the shower with Liz on his hip.

"Morning babe." He said when he noticed me coming in.

"Good morning." I replied, struggling to fake a smile.

I quickly got out of the bathroom again and got dressed in the bedroom instead. Once I was dressed I made my way downstairs to make breakfast.

I was standing in the kitchen when I felt two arms wrap around me from behind. Dan pressed his own body into mine and rested his chin on my shoulder while placing soft kisses against my neck.

Normally, I would have loved this and I would turn around to kiss him back. But right now, I was trying really hard to not burst out crying.

"Are you alright?" Dan asked after a few moments, picking up on my lack of response.

"I'm fine." I replied simply before freeing myself out of his grasp.

"Sure?" He asked not convinced.

"Yes I'm fucking fine!" I snapped at him.

"Okay... I'll get Ava then..." He replied before turning around and leaving me alone in the kitchen.

Furiously, I grabbed the kettle and started pouring the boiling water into two mugs. But because tears were brimming in my eyes my vision became slightly blurry and before I knew it I was pouring the water over my hand.

"FUCK!" I shouted and quickly put the kettle down and turned the tab on, holding my hand underneath it. I heard rushed footsteps coming down the stairs and a few seconds later Danny came back into the kitchen.

"What's going on?" He asked worried.

"I burnt my hand." I replied.

"Oh baby." He said softly and walked over to me. He took my face in his hands and wiped the tears from my cheeks, probably thinking I was crying because I hurt myself by pouring boiling water over my hand.
