I ran and realized I had left my camera but I didn't want to go back. I got an Uber and went home. As I got home my phone rang, it was Jonah. I answered just wanting to hear his soothing voice. J: Luna are you ok? L: it's just I was scared. J: of what? L: of us. J: why? L: come to my apartment I'll explain here. J: oh yeah you forgot your camera. L: I know it's just...  J: I get it I'll be there in 5 minutes. L: bye. J: bye. I hung up and a few minutes later there was a knock on the door. I ran and opened it. I saw Jonah with my camera. J: here's your camera. L: thanks. J: so what did you want to talk about? L: well... A year ago I had this boyfriend his name was Damian and he was... Abusive he even tried to rape me and I promised my self I wouldn't get close to any guy in my life after what happened. As I was saying that a few tears ran down my cheeks. L: and when you kissed me it was amazed but it all came back to me, how he would slap me or punch me then make it up to me by either kissing me or hugging me. J: it's ok if you don't want anything right now, but just know I'm not like him, I would never hit a girl or rape a girl. L: I know but it's just hard for me. J: I understand if you want me to leave just tell me and I'll leave. L: no I want you to stay. J: are you sure? L: yeah can you maybe stay the night here? J: of course. We were on the couch and my face was buried in his chest while I was crying, his arms rapped around me, and his head on my chin. We stayed like that for a few more minutes then I looked up at him. L: you can sleep in my room. J: are you sure? L: yes I'm sure. We both got up and went to my room and I put some pijammas on. J: this might seem weird but I usually sleep in my boxers and nothing else. L: go ahead I don't mind, I mean look at me. I had an oversized shirt with nothing under it and some panties obviously. J: okay. He got ready. J: I'm going to sleep on the ground. L: no, please... Stay up here with me. J: anything for you. He layed on the bed and I cuddled up beside him. I woke up the next morning and felt arms rapped around me and I got scared and started screaming for help. L: HELP ME!! J: it's okay it's just me. He whispered in my ear. J: everything is okay don't worry I'll protect you.
