Just one night

Chapter 3

I climb into the guest bed as the rain begins to hit the window. No biggie, it's just rain. As long as-
BANG
Yup, knew that was gonna happen. I hate thunder storms. They scare the shit out of me. I cuddle up in my blankets and try my best to go to sleep.
BOOM
I screamed that time, not even five seconds later, my door opens and Brendon is standing there, shirtless and in sweatpants, he had glasses on and his hair was falling in his face. He looked so good.
"What's wrong, are you okay?" He quickly rambles. I shake my head and look outside and laugh
"I'm gonna sound like a baby" I say. He interrupts me before I continue
"I don't like storms either, come on" he says grabbing my hand, I let him take me down the stairs into the master bedroom, he realized I was still wearing my jeans and t shirt from the hospital, so he runs to his closet and grabs me a shirt.
"You can go get changed in there" he points towards the bathroom.
"Thank you, Brendon" I smile. He smiles and nods, I walk to the bathroom and quickly take my clothes off, I stare at the mirror in my bare naked body. So many scars and bruises covered it, like the one on my stomach.
He was drunk, that was for sure. Him and his buddies were. They all sat on the couch. I came in and grabbed a beer, but Nathan slapped my hand away from it.
"What the hell are you doing, that's my beer, now go be a lady and make us some food bitch" he laughs, his buddies are all roaring except one. Ronny. I've always liked Ronny, he was a good guy who didn't really hang with these guys much. I walked into the kitchen and got the sandwich stuff. Ronny walks in, but he is also drunk, and attempts to kiss me.
"What are you doing?" I asked him quickly while I throw him off me.
"He's no good for you, just love me" he says leaning in again, just then, Nathan comes in with his beer and sees Ronny and I.
"What the hell dude!" He yells, soon the bottle broke and he used the sharp side. The pain was unbearable, he apologized the next morning while I was in the hospital, I told them I ran into a glass door and it broke.
"You okay Erica?" Brendon asks knocking on the door.
"Yeah! Sorry I'm coming" I quickly put on the shirt and walk out. He stares at me and smiles widely.
"Nathan was such a idiot" Brendon says
"I mean obviously" I laugh
"He let go of such a beautiful woman" Brendon says, I can feel my cheeks get hot as I start to blush, I smile at him and thank him. He gets into bed and keeps his distance, just a gentleman's thing I suppose.
BOOM
I jump and automatically lean to him, he sat startled for a second, then wrapped his arm around my body.
"I'm sorry it's just I-"
"Don't Be, I'm here, now go to bed" he says, I lay my head on his chest, the sound of his heart beat slowly begins to put me to sleep. Soft skips of beat make me close my eyes. He stays in this place most of the night, I'm assuming trying not to disturb me. But I was awake, j couldn't sleep. I don't remember the last time a man like this made me feel safe, but I loved it.
"Goodnight Erica" he says, knowing im still awake some how
"Goodnight Brendon."
