Daniel walked me back to my house. Before we even reached the steps, out walks my dad, beer in hand.

Da- What the fuck are you doing with this guy, you little slut?!

D- Don't talk to her like that!

Da- Who the hell do you think you are?!

D- A person who actually cares for her!

Da- I seem to remember you calling her a slut yesterday, right before kicking me in the balls!

J- STOP! Daniel. I'm fine. Go go to your place.

I emphasized the word place, hoping he would get it.

He looked confused for a moment, but then his eyes softened and he nodded with a wink.

D- Fine I'll go to my place.

Da- Jesse! Go to your room. Now! And you--

He pointed at Daniel

Da- I don't want to see you here again. You here me?

D- Whatever.

Daniel walked away. I went to my room and packed a bunch of clothes, tooth paste, and other necessities,  waited for my dad to fall asleep, climbed out my window, and skated to our place. 

...

As I approached I saw lights inside, which meant Daniel was there. I walked in and saw Daniel asleep on the old couch. I walked over and nudged him.

J- Daniel. Wake up. I'm here.

He sat up and hugged me.

D- Are you okay? Are you hurt?

J- I'm fine. I just had a little trouble climbing out of the window with a suitcase.

D- Right. I talked to my parents and they said that you can crash at our place as long as you like. We don't have a spare room so you can have my bed and I can sleep on the floor or on the couch.

J- Thank you. So much.

D- No problem

He smiled, pecked me on the lips, and took me to his house. I met his parents and settled in. I was layed on his bed, him on the floor, tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep.

J- Daniel? Are you awake?

D- Yes.

J- Could you... Come lay with me?

D- O-Of course.

He layed next to me and put his arms around me. I turned and faced him and he moved a strand of hair from my face.

J- I couldn't sleep. I needed to be held.

D- Of course princess.

I smiled and drifted to sleep, but not before I heard him whisper in my ear.

D- I'm so sorry for what I did to you. You didn't deserve that. I love you. And one day you will be mine.

J- I love you, too.

And with that, he tightened his grip as we both fell into a deep sleep.
