„Aston? What are you doing here? How did you...“-Mary's voice was shaking.
„Rosie told me you were here and she gave me the keys. What's going on?“-Aston sat beside her and took her in his arms.
„You declined my call, why did you change your mind and came her anyway?“
„Rosie told me I should come, that you need me.Why are you crying, sweetheart?“-he rubbed her back.
„I broke up with Adam tonight.“-Mary moaned.
„What? Why? How?“-Aston was confused.
„We had problems for a while now. I'll tell you the whole story if you have time“-Mary tried to smile.
„Of course, I'm not going anywhere“-Aston smiled back.
„Well, it all began few months ago. We were on a party and one of his friends got waisted so I drove him home because I was the only one sober. When we walked into my apartment, he came on to me and kissed me. I tried to pull him away but he was stronger. He ripped my clothes off and who knows what would've happen if Adam didn't came home. When I told him what happened he didn't believe me. He decided to trust his friend who said I came onto him“-Mary started crying.
„Hush, hush. Don't cry, he doesn't deserve it.“-Aston hugged her tight.
„I thought he just needs time, after all it was his friend I was accusing. But once again, I stood by a guy who didn't trust me. Our relationship got cold after that incident. I couldn't handle him touching me or kissing me. After a while I heard he was seen with his ex often. I suppouse he never really got over her.“-Mary shrugged as more tears ran down her face.
„Then why did you stay with him?“
„I was stupid, again. When I asked him about the affair, he denied everything. But, I found hidden messages on his phone that he was sending and recieving from his ex. They were talking about their meetings and how much fun they had or what they did to each other while... you know“-Mary bite her lip.
„What an asshole! I wanna beat the crap out of him! Is he still here?“-Aston was really angry.
„That's the reason I didn't wanna tell you all this earlier. I knew you'll react like this. Please, promise me you won't do anything to him if you see him. He's not worth it“-Mary looked him in the eyes.
„Okay, only because you're asking“-Aston put his hand on Mary's cheek.
„Thanks for listening me, you're my shoulder to cry on once again. What did I ever do to deserve you?“-Mary placed her head on Aston's chest.
„You don't have nothing to thank me for. I'll always be there for you. Besides, you would do the same thing for me“-Aston smiled.
„No, I also have to apologize for yelling at you and not listening to you. You tried to make me see what's right in front of me, but I was so stubborn that I didn't let myself believe you. It were your words that made me confront him tonight, you know“-Mary looked at him.
„I'm glad you finally see his real personality. What are you going to do now?“
„I don't know. I told you, I just broke up with him few hours ago. I think I'm gonna stay here for a while. I need to think what I'm going to do next“
„You know that anytime you need to talk to someone, I'm here, right?“
„I know, that's why I called you. I don't even know why I did it after you told me not to. I guess I just wanted to hear your voice. When I didn't, I fell apart and cried until you came“
„I'm sorry for that, it's just that I was mad at you for staying with Adam when it was obviuos he cheated on you“
„I know. I'm sorry, I know I put you through hell. But having you here, made me feel much better. Thank you“
„How many times will you thank me? You're making me feel like a hero“-Aston winked.
„That's what you are to me, my hero. You're always there to listen to me and protect me.“-Mary smiled.
„Now, that's what I wanted to see. You're much more beautiful when you smile“
„Even in a situation like this, you find an excuse to flatter me.“-Mary smiled again.-„I'm tired. Can you stay here for tonight? I don't wanna sleep alone“
„Of course, come here“-Aston lied down on the bed and pulled Mary on his chest.-„Good night, beautiful“
„Good night“-she smiled and closed her eyes.
