Mollie and Aj• Their Strictly journey

11

Mollie's POV
The room is dark and silent. Outside, I can hear cars driving past the hotel. I look beside me to see AJ sleeping peaceful. His mouth is slightly open and his hair is messy. Gently, I stroke his face which is probably still slightly damp from the tears he let out before. He stays asleep. His breathing steady. I kiss him on the head before swinging my legs over the side of the bed. It's 5:00am. We all have to be out of the hotel and onto the road by 9:00am. I grab Aj's hoodie that's on the floor and walk towards the balcony. Slowly, I open door, step out and close the door but I leave it open slightly. I sit on the chair and bring my knees up to my chest. In my head, I'm going over last night's conversation and how Aj broke down the way he did because it's usually me. The way he told me what happened and how he wouldn't always meet my eye. I can tell he's hurt by Emily's actions and that he's scared she'll do anything to get back with him but I won't let that happen. Suddenly, my train of thought is broken by the sliding of the door, revealing Aj.
"I thought you had gone." He says, hugging me softly.
"I told you I would always be here. You can't get rid of me that easily." I say, turning my head to meet his eyes. We laugh. We kiss and then Aj picks me up, carrying me inside and towards the bed.
"Go back to sleep Mol. It's only 5:30am." I feel Aj's arm wrap around me, pulling me in close. I still have his hoodie on and I feel like I have another layer of protection, even though I believe Aj is the one who needs protecting.

Aj's POV
My eyes feel heavy and impossible to open as I wake. I reach my arm out slowly towards Mollie. However, my arm meets nothing. I open my eyes quicker this time, expecting to be facing the wrong side but I'm not. Her side is empty but not cold. I panic. I panic in case she has left, even though she said she would always be here. My eyes suddenly catch the door leading onto the balcony and I can just about make out Mollie's small body. Checking the time as I swing my legs over the side of the bed, I find that it's 5:25am. I slide open the door and by the looks on Mollie's face, I've disturbed her train of thought.
"I thought you had gone." I say, hugging her. She turns her head towards me meeting my eyes as she says,
"I told you I would always be here. You can't get rid of me that easily." I laugh and she laughs. We kiss them I pick her up bridal style. I carry her inside and put her down on the bed noticing that she has my hoodie on. I check my watch finding that it's 5:30am and I remember that we have to be on the road for 9.
"Go back to sleep Mol. It's only 5:30am." I wrap my arms around her, pulling her in close. I smile as I realise that Mollie is the girl I want to spend he rest of my life with.
