A Long Night

Gerald takes me back to his house. Any other time I would've been excited to be here with him, but I was still too upset. He leads me into the main living room, easing me down on the couch. "I'll go grab you some water, I'll be right back." He gives my arm a slight squeeze and then heads off into the kitchen. I stare blankly at the living room wall, my arms crossed across my chest.

Gerald comes back a few minutes later with a large glass of ice water in hand. "Hey, how are you doing?" I shrug, trying not to cry again. "I'm tired, I want out of this dress. I want to feel safe." He nods at me, reaching out for my hand. "Come on, let's go find you something comfortable to wear."

I get up and follow him to his room. He flips on one of the lights and heads towards a huge walk in closet. "You can sit anywhere if you want. I'll find you something." I smile and sit down on the edge of his bed, looking around the room. His room is huge, honestly. It's well put together and surprisingly clean.

Gerald comes back out a few moments later holding up a pair of grey sweatpants and an Oakland A's shirt. "Now, I know these are definitely not your size..but" He laughs, "it's the best I could come up with and it should be hella comfy." He hands me the clothes and I get up off his bed. "You can go change in the bathroom over there." He points to a door across his room. "Thank you so much, Gerald. You're honestly the best."

I head over into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me. I set my clothes down on the counter and wrap my hands around the edge of the sink, gripping it tightly. I look up at myself, the mess that I've become tonight. My hair has fallen out of place, my makeup has smeared, and I look and feel like I've been hit by a truck. My knuckles turn white as I grip the edge tighter and begin to softly cry.

"I just wanted to have a good, carefree night..." I mumble. "But someone had to come and ruin my night." I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I have to compose myself. I can't let Gerald see that I'm a complete fragile mess.

I quickly change into his clothes and wipe the rest of my makeup off with a rag. I pick up my clothes off the floor, and walk out of the bathroom. Gerald's sitting on his bed, scrolling through his phone. He immediately notices me and puts it down. "Hey. Is that better?" "Much. Thank you." I smile softly. "What should I do with my clothes from tonight?" I gesture to my clothes in my hands, looking around the room. "Oh, you can just leave them on the floor for now it's fine." I smile, setting them down gently on the floor off to the side.

Gerald gets up off his bed and comes over to me. "Lily, I know you have a rough night. I'm so sorry." He pulls me into a hug, and I press my face into his chest hugging him tightly. I feel safe in his arms and brings me a great deal of comfort.

We eventually both pull away from the hug and he kisses me on my forehead. "I know you're probably hella tired so I'll let you get to bed. You can sleep in my room and I'll go sleep in the living room." I nod. "Thank you." He smiles, "No problem. Sleep well. Let know if you need anything at all, babe." He starts to head towards the door before I stop him. "Wait, Gerald?" "Yeah?" He turns around, looking at me. "Would you mind staying with me for a few?" He smiles, "Not at all."

I eventually fall asleep in his bed, Gerald laying next to me with his hand holding mine.
