Damien's pov

I haven't been to work in two weeks. All of my friends have came over to check on me and I am certainly doing better than the night I tried to kill myself. right now Shayne and I are cuddling on the couch and watching a show on YouTube called IMPULSE. It's about a girl who has the power of teleportation. having superpowers has always been an interesting concept to me. If I could have any power I wanted then it would be the power to move things with your mind. 

Shayne saw me in deep concentration and asked me "babe whatcha thinking about ?"

I answered out of habit "nothing just something dumb"

he took my hand and kissed it slowly while keeping his eyes on me the whole  time and then told me "if you are thinking about it then I am sure it's not dumb"

he is being a way better boyfriend than he was. I cant believe the changes he's made. he hasn't drank not even a sip of alcohol. I love him so much. I told him "well I was just thinking about what super power I would want to have"

a smirk plays out on his face and winks "I know what mine would be"

I smile and roll my eyes. I playfully hit him and yell "perv !"

he fakes pain and said "I was talking about you. you're my superpower"

I smile and cuddle into his lap "nice save"

he laughs and kisses me. we stay in that moment forever. It's been so long since we have had this. he is being so sweet. how did we get bad to begin with ? now that I think about it I really don't know. 

we finally pull out of the earth shattering kiss. him being so sweet just makes me cheating ten times worse. I can't believe I did that ! the thoughts come rushing in like a high tide. I feel suddenly sluggish and I have an awful feeling in my stomach. I just want to cry ! why did I do such a horrible thing ?  I cheated on him. I gave up on the love we shared instead of staying loyal. 

I get off of Shayne and sit at the end of the couch. I curl up into a ball and stare off into the air. Shayne came over to me and asked "hey what's wrong ?"

I shake my head while trying not to cry. I couldn't tell him that instead of trying to fix things with him, I gave up and cheated on him. I want to die again. I start crying and hide my face. Shayne is trying to talk to me and get me to tell him why I am crying "baby you have to tell me what's wrong. I can't help you if you don't tell me what is going on"

 I know he won't give up on asking. I half  lie "I just hate that I put you through so much within the past  few weeks"

he hugged me tightly "It's ok ! I wasn't the best boyfriend and I treated you pretty badly"

I cried into his chest and just couldn't say anything at this point. He continued "but you know what ? that is behind us. everything bad that's happened between us is behind now. we have a new and fresh start and dwelling on the past isn't going to make it better. we have to grab this fresh start by the horns and ride"

his effort in making me feel better paid off. I was able to stop crying. I smiled at the thought of Shayne trying to ride a bull. I know that wasn't his intentions but it worked. it made me feel better. he stands up in front of me and he gestures his hand out to me and said "come on. I  have something that will cheer you up"

I take his hand and he and I get in the car and leave the house. I sat there for an hour trying to get him to tell me where we were going but he just kept smirking and told me "you will see when we get there"

 finally we pulled up to a little shop with some cages that has some birds in them. Is he getting me a bird ? we got out of the car and went in. he told me to wait by the door while he got something. I waited patiently and when I saw what he was holding when he came out of the shop, my jaw dropped. it was a kitten. I love cats ! 

I start to tear up again. he walked up to me and smiled big "I hope you like him. I got him for you"

I tackled Shayne  with a hug "I love you so much !"

I took the small kitten from his hands and it was wearing a small blue collar. he was a complete black cat. Shayne said "so what are you going to name him ?"

I looked up from the kitten and answered "I don't know. got any suggestions"

he said "how about salem ? that cat from your favorite show has the same name"

I exclaimed "that's a great name !" I looked down at the tinny kitten and held him up to my face "You're name is salem" 

I held him in my arms while he purred at the name. I think he likes it. Shayne and I got in the car and I looked at him lovingly. he caught me looking and he smiled and said as if reading my mind "I love you to"....
