The scar

can pain ever leave me alone

Once they got home Eric opened the door for tami and was about his hands on her hips when she walked away saying she had to catch Kai

Once they were in the house they were sitting on the couch and he wrapped his arm around her to pulls her closer when she distanced herself

Every time he went to touch her or anything she flinched and walked away

She was lying in bed and Eric crawled in the other side and wrapped his arms around her she moved over a bit and they lay apart

She woke up with Eric kissing her ear she opened her eyes and kissed him

Then he moved his hand to lie on her belly she flinched and Kai cried so she stood up

"You want some coffee "

"Yeah thanks " he said and she walked through

She put on coffee and went to check on Kai & Gracie when she walked in the room

Kai and Gracie were pulling each other's hair

"Eric a little help " tami shouted and

he came through

Tami shouted at them both and Eric held them apart

They sent Gracie to her room and told Kai to stay in his

Tami walked into the kitchen and poured them both coffee

Eric walked through and put his hands on her hips and kissed her really passionately she lifted his hands to hold hers still kissing passionately they both pulled away

When Kai was pulling at tami leg

"What's wrong Kai "

"Mummy I'm sorry " Kai said

Tami lifted him up

"It's okay baby " she says and smiles at Eric

They sit and eat breakfast together

As a family

Then Kai and Gracie go to play in their rooms and play

Tami was sitting on the couch and Eric walks over and sits next to her he pulls her in for a cuddle she cuddles into him but when his hand comes round and lands on her hip she moves it and holds his hand instead

A week went by and every chance Eric had to putting his hands on her waist or cuddling her or wrapping his arms around her she either flinched or walked away

She was getting changed and she could feel him watching her so she covered her scar and turned round

"Please don't watch me " she says softly

"Okay want some coffee" he says and stands up

"Yes please " she says and he walks through to the kitchen

She drops the t shirt that she was using to cover her scar and she runs her hand over the scar a tear runs down her cheek she wipes it away

And gets dressed

That night they were lying in bed and she was facing him

"Okay what's wrong tami have I done something wrong because every time I go to touch you or put my hands on your waist or cuddle you

You pull away or you flinch or you leave and today I wasn't aloud to look at you "

"You haven't done anything wrong "

"Then what is it "

"It's this " she says and pulls the covers down then she lifts her top and points to the scar
