I Won't Let Go

A/n: okay so the song may seem kinda cheesy, I struggled finding something f to go with what I wanted this chapter to be about. I hope you guys like this update and if you do make sure to vote and comment so I know! 💖

-Piper's Point Of View-

    I rub my eyes and snuggle back into the warmth against me. As I move slightly, I hear a man grunt and I look up to see Garrett with his eyes still closed. The memories of the night before come flooding back to me. Nathan, the breakup, the slap, Garrett. I had asked him to stay and I guess we fell asleep watching Kill Bill Vol. 2, but how did I end up snuggled into his chest? Last I remember we were on opposite ends of the couch...

    I move slightly, trying to get off the couch without waking him. I feel his arms pull me closer and I look up to see Garrett smiling at me. "Good morning beautiful" he chuckled causing me to blush. I hope he didn't get the wrong idea by me asking him to stay last night. I just didn't want to be alone. I sit up, pulling away as I look at him.

    "Um, good morning..." I look him in the eyes. "Um, I hope I didn't give you the wrong impression when I asked you to stay the night, and with this." I gesture at the space between us where we had just been cuddling. "Ya know, I just got out of a relationship literally last night and..." I trail off when Garrett starts laughing hysterically.

    "The wrong impression? You don't have to worry about that sweetie, I'm gay. Very gay." He laughs again as I sigh in relief.

    "Oh! Okay! But then why were we-"

    "Cuddling? Because of you," He smiles and I look at him, confused. "You fell asleep during the movie, and you started whimpering and whining a lot. At first I thought maybe that's just something you do when you sleep, but then you started sounding like you were scared or in trouble so I figured you were having a nightmare." He explains, "I tried to shake you and wake you up, tried saying your name and poking you, but you wouldn't wake up. The only other thing I knew to try was what I do with my nieces and nephew sometimes. I picked you up and shushed you. It worked but then you didn't want to let go." He laughs.

    "I'm sorry!" I blush bright red as he continues to laugh. That's so embarrassing!

    "It's okay, It's not often that I get to snuggle." He smiles as I get up and check my phone. He frowns as my face drops when I look at the screen.

3 Missed Calls
5 New Messages

    I sigh and open my phone, seeing the missed calls from Nathan. I open my messages and read them, Garrett walking over to me.

Nathan: Piper, I'm sorry, please forgive me. I love you.
Nathan: Piper please, can we talk?
Nathan: Piper?
Nathan: Seriously Piper?
Nathan: I'm coming over.

    My heart starts racing when I read the last message and I show it to Garrett who was sitting on a stool at the kitchen island.

-Garrett's Point of View-

Nathan: I'm coming over.

I read the messages and look at Piper, who looks like she is ready to burst into tears. I get from the stool and walk to her. I place my hands on her shoulders and bend down looking her in the eyes. "Piper, it's okay. He can't hurt you."
