A few weeks later

"How are you feeling" Tobias asks as we walk into my house. I was just at the clinic for my abortion appointment.

It wasn't an easy decision but after talking with Tobias and both of our parents. We decided this is what we wanted to do.

Our parents were shocked that we had sex together but they quickly looked over that and helped us make the best decision we could.

"I'm a little sore actually" I say leaning against the stairs before I go up and holding my pelvic area.

I feel myself getting lifted up and held which takes me by surprise but my mind is quickly taken away by Tobias's kind actions.

"Thank you" I whisper to him as we walk upstairs to my room.

"I'm sorry you had to miss a day of school for this" I tell him and he looks at me annoyed as he lays me in bed and tucks me in.

"I told you I would be there for you. You got an abortion, that's not something you do alone" he says and I hold his hand and pull him down

"Lay with me?" I ask him and he nods

I snuggle my head on his chest and he wraps an arm around me.

"Do you need anything? Medicine, something to eat, water" he asks

"I just need you to hold me for a little" I say and I start to cry

"Trissy" he gently says wiping my tears

"I know today was hard but please don't cry. What can I do to make you feel better" he says

"I just need you to stay with me, hold me. I just-... I can't believe I just did th-... I was-..." I try to say but reality kicks in.

It's never easy to get an abortion. It's not something you want to do, but for me personally it was something I had to do. I'm not proud of it but I had to do what's best. Now I'm just getting my emotions out.

"I'm so sorry" he says kissing my head

He runs his fingers through my hair and I start to calm down.

"I don't want to regret what happened today" I whisper as he looks at me and wipes my tears

"It's just hard to think about but it's what we had to do because it was best for our situation. I just-..." I say but he cuts me off

"I know. I know" he says gently

"I'm truly am sorry for that night I asked you to have sex with me. I don't know what I was thinking or why I decided to do that but I've messed up your life so badly that I-..." I try to say but this time he shuts me up with a kiss

I place a hand on his cheek and kiss him back but pull away so we can continue talking.

"I don't regret that night" he says

"It made me realize something" he adds as our lips get closer again

"What" I whisper

"That I am crazy in love with you Trissy. I always have been and always will" he says and I pull away and look at him

"I love you too Tob" I say and we hold our hands

"I was just so focused on our friendship and I never wanted to say something in case everything got ruined but I would love to do more with you. See where this relationship goes. You mean so much to me-..." he says and now it's my turn to cut him off with a kiss.

He holds my waist and gently kisses me back. I wrap an arm around his neck and leans up to him as we begin to make out. He pulls me close and I ruin it by winding at his touch.

"I'm sorry" I whisper and he chuckles

"You should let your body rest" he says

"Don't leave" I say

"I'm not going anywhere" he says and we lay peacefully on my bed.
