Let It Be Me

"For the good and the bad and the ugly
And everything in between
You're gonna need somebody
So let it be me"
- Let It Be Me by Justin Jesso

I knocked at her door after a long day in the studio. I had told her I would not be able to come over but I desired to see her that night.
However as she came closer to the door I heard sniffles sounding like she cried. And as she opened the door I immediately noticed her red nose and eyes. There was a bit of light in her eyes as she saw me but it was strongly overshadowed by her tired smile.

"Hey, babe. I thought you couldn't make it.", she said as she let me come in. "Yeah, but I wanted to see you."

Honestly, I hoped for a lazy and cozy movie night with my girl but that will not happen. And I will not let Y/N fake happiness for that because you can surely see that there is something going wrong.

"You're not okay. What happened?", I asked softly after putting a little kiss on her forehead.

"Oh, nothing.", she smiled nervously obviously searching for a good excuse. "I just... watched a sad movie."

Y/N walked away to her couch not looking at me once more. I followed her.

"Babe, you're a bad liar. You never watch movies alone. Tell me the truth."

Sitting on the couch I intertwined our hands and looked at her. She still did not glanced at me.

Oh, how I hate when she is like that. It is not like that I hate her but I hate that she does not feel comfortable with opening up in front of me.

She never was that kind of a person. Always kept her feelings for herself. But I can see and feel how that hurts her. She needs a person to ask her how she feels. No one ever did that to her in the past. But I want to be that person. I want her to be able to tell me anything. The good but also the bad and the ugly.

"Hey, Y/N. Listen. I'm here for you and I won't judge you for anything you are telling me. Because I love you no matter what, hopefully you know that."

Finally, she dared to look me in the eyes. Seeing the tears in hers hurt. "I'm... It's just..."
I wrapped  arm around her and stroked her back as she struggled to find the right words.
"I had like this little fight with my best friend. I don't know... what I should do. I only make it worse."

I know how that is eating her up from inside. I kissed her on the forehead once again to symbolise that I'm here for her.

"Thank you for telling me, babe. You feel relieved?"

"Kinda."

"See? I'm here for you."
She gave me a grateful kiss on the lips and I could feel how she said "I love you" with her lips on mine. This makes it all worth it.

"So now tell me what exactly happened, I'll listen."

And I did. And I would anytime she needs someone to listen to her. As much as he is there for me I am for her. That is what a relationship is all about. We go with each other through every emotion. We'll support, admire and love each other.
