Teen Pregnancy (completed)

Erikas POV- after that Jake finished giving me the tour and he asked the question I hoped he wouldnt. He asked about my past... and why I was in the situation I was in. Again I got that feeling in my stomach and my chest that told me not to tell anyone or get close but I again let it go and I told him. I told him everything. From my mom being married 4 times to my siblings being taken by my step dad, then going to a party. Then I paused and took a deep breathe. He looked at me a little curious as to why I paused. After taking a deep breathe I told him about the party. At the party I got drugged, raped, and ended up with Sarah at the age of 14. He frowned even more than he had before at he hugged me. I hugged back feeling comfort in his arms feeling safe, and secure, I haven't felt this way in a long long time. We sat there hugging for what seemed like years and me just savoring every second taking in the warmth, and that feeling until tears were falling down my face. I apologized for crying and being in the way of his day and he didnt mind at all. He hugged me again making me have that safe, warm feeling again. I loved that feeling. I craved for that feeling and that human understanding. I know he could never be in the position I was in but I felt almost that he understood and made every bad memory, everything that worried me, everything I had been through, its like him, this human made all of that go away and just replaced it with happiness and feelings that I never really had experienced in so long or if ever. Then the worst happened, something I feared I wouldnt do again especially around people I dont know that well and when im vulnerable. I fell asleep on Jakes shoulder I then couldnt shake myself awake like I usually can. I then felt my body being lifted up and carried. After a few minutes I felt my body being laid on a nice soft surface, something warm, comfy, soothing, something that felt odd yet something I kinda recognized. I then felt something heavy and soft drape over my body and I felt myself sinking deeper and deeper and deeper into sleep. Then like that I wasn't thinking, I wasn't worrying, I was at peace, I was asleep at last.
