Once we got home I instantly went upstairs and laid down, I got under my covers and Nic entered the room. "You need anything?" He asked and I shook my head. "No thank you, but, lay with me?" I asked and he climbed into the bed. "One of my friends said get well soon." Nic told me and rubbed my back, I smiled softly. "Tell them thank you, baby." "I will," he said and put his head on my shoulder. I relaxed. I played with his hair and smiled softly, "How's your sister?" I asked him, he shrugged. "She hasn't talked to me. I've messaged her and called her, I even called her boyfriend and he answered and I asked to talk with her and he called for her, she screamed at him that she doesn't want to talk to me."

"Damn, that must fucking hurt." I said, he shrugged. "It's fine, I'll be okay. She's in one of her moods." "But still." I said and he shook his head. "I'll be okay, like I said. I got you, I'm happy and when she comes around, she'll come around." He told me, I nodded and pecked his temple. We sat in silence for a little bit until Nic's snores. I giggled and grabbed my phone and took a picture of Nic and posted on my Instagram with the caption 'my love 💗' Instantly people liked the photo and commented how cute we are and shit like that, I smiled.

Obviously there were people who are trying to start shit, i locked my phone and sat it to the side, I started to daydream about having a family with Nic, living in a big house, things like that. I want my kids to have the life that I never had. I don't want them to go through what I went through, no kid should ever go through anything horrible like that. I feel like I should talk to Nic about my past, but, at the same time I don't want to, because I don't want to scare him off? I don't know, that stuff kinda turns people away. Did I ever even tell him the get go? I sighed and Nic rolled over and yawned. I smiled and grabbed a book that's on my bedside table and started to read it to kill some time.

Nic woke up an hour later and he was in a bit of a mood. "Nic, you okay?" I asked and he huffed. "Yeah," he said and sat up. I rubbed his arm. "Love you." "Love you too." He said and smiled softly. "Can I talk to you? This is kinda a serious topic?" I said, playing with the hem of the blanket. I looked up at Nic and he nodded. "Yeah, what's up?" He said, I shrugged, not knowing how to start this. "I don't know how to start this, but, I'm just going to tell you upfront. It's a lot, so, be prepared." I warned him, he nodded and gave me an uneasy chuckle. "Okay?" "When I was younger, I was molested by my stepdad, it went on for awhile. He would have people come over and do it too, he would abuse my mom and I. It was a lot, it drained me at such a young age. It's a lot to take in and I don't know, I just wanted you to be aware?" I said and Nic's eyes widen.

"I-I don't know what to say. Shit, I'm so sorry." He said, I gulped and nodded. "It's okay now. I'm fine and I'm safe." I said and he nodded and pulled me into a hug, I hugged him back, I pulled away and put my hands on his shoulders. "I just wanted you to be aware of it, it's a lot to take in, I understand. It all came to me when you were asleep, I don't know if I told you that ever before, guess I didn't." I said and chuckled softly to myself. "I'm sorry." I said, Nic shook his head. "Never apologize to me about that! You don't have to apologize, it's not your fault, ever." He said and I nodded. "I know, I know." I said, Nic pecked my head, I relaxed and looked down. "Sorry for bringing all of this on you." I said. "Babe, don't apologize." He said. I leaned on Nic and sighed softly.

"Thank you for being here for me." "Anything for you." He told me and I smiled softly, Nic wrapped an arm around me. "What made you want to tell me?" He asked, I glanced at him. "I was daydreaming about starting a family with you and everything and if we do, I don't want my kids to go through what I did. I want them to have the life I never had." I told him. "They won't go through that. We'll keep them safe." He said, I knew that, I would do everything in my power to keep them safe, and so would Nic. "Of course," I said and yawned. "Take a nap, hun." He said and I shook my head. "No, I'm not tired." I said and he chuckled. "Okay, whatever you say." He said jokingly and started to tickle me, I pushed his hands away. "Stop, I still don't feel good." I told him, he nodded and told me sorry. I shook my head. "You're okay," I told him and laid down on my stomach. "Rub my back? Please?" I asked him, he started to rub my back. I relaxed and closed my eyes, he was the sweetest ever. I grabbed my phone and opened Snapchat and played with the filters and I used the one with the bunny ears. "Look at my amazing boyfriend!" I said and zoomed in on him, he looked at the camera and made a stupid face and I giggled. I saved it and posted it to my story. I played more filters and took some selfies and took some with Nic. "God, we are so cute!"

"I know. I tell everyone about how cute of a couple we are." Nic said and I laughed. "Aww, you're so sweet." I said, he chuckled and rubbed my shoulders, I hummed softly and played a phone game and Nic watched my screen. "Be careful! You're gonna- and ya lost." "Stoooop!" I giggled, he smiled and kissed my head. "Are you ever going to go back to your apartment?" I asked him and he shrugged, "Maybe." He said and I nodded. "Want me gone so soon?" He asked and I shook my head. "No, i was just wondering." I told him. "I know, I'm just playing."
