Long Way Home (Drew)

Day 3 out of 6

"Hey Lily. We need to talk."

"Sure. Sure. About what?"

"Us."

There was a sudden silence.

"We need to break up."

I started to tear up. I don't understand why he would do that. We were getting along so well and it was our 3rd day. He said he was willing to commit.

"Can I ask why?" I tried to say, choking on every word.

"I cheated on yo-"

"NO, NO, NO"

"Lily"

"Lily"

"LILY WAKE UP!"

I woke panting trying to grab on to something. I was frantically trying to grab onto something. I felt weird and I was sweating like crazy. Someone grabbed me and tried to pick me up.

"GET OFF ME! NOW!"

"LILY ITS ME DREW CALM THE F*** DOWN!"

I couldn't breathe. I was wheezing and trying to catch my breath. I started sobbing into Drew's shoulder.

"Hey, why don't you tell me about what you dreamt huh?"

"Well- I was- I can't- cheating- I can't- breathe-Drew"

"Okay breathe and then tell me okay. Shhhhh. just calm down."

I laid down on his lap and tried to calm down as he was rubbing my back. I sat up and faced him.

"I never told you this but when I was 10 my dad cheated on my mom with one of his clients. He told her in front of me and I will never forget her face. He thought I wouldn't remember anything just because I was 10 but he was wrong. My dream was me and you in the exact same place that my parents were when he told her. You told me you cheated on me. You wanted to break up."

He looked at me with a blank stare. He had no emotion on his face. It's was 3 am and I could still see how pale his face was through the dark.

"Look at me. I will never EVER cheat on you. I actually thought that you might leave me one day and not the opposite but I guess not. Me and you forever. Promise?"

He holds out his pinky finger.

"Promise."

"Come on. Lay down."

He puts on shirtsleeves by Ed Sheeran. He lays down with me and I cuddle my self in between the crook of his neck. I feel his chest rising and then deflating slowly ( AN: WHAT AM I WRITING OMG)

He reaches for my hand and I intertwine my pinky with his.

"I'm here for you, you know that right?"

"I know."

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you too." I whisper back.
