It's not you it's me

Chapter 7

I stood up when I heard the door to the bathroom open and waited for Alice to come out. Problem was she never did what's going on, why isn't she coming out? I thought to myself, I sat there patiently waiting but she still didn't come out so I decided to go check on her. When I walked to the door I knocked lightly and said her name, but there wasn't an answer. I didn't want to barge in because well I didn't know if she was dressed or not so I waited and began to listen for any movement. But there wasn't any.

"Alice, are you okay?" I said in a low voice

No answer

"Alice" I said again

Still no answer

"Al-" I said but stopped when I saw the door open all the way revealing a red eyed Alice. Why was she crying? We stared at each other for awhile. I opened my mouth to say something but she cut me off when she began to speak.

"I'm fine" she said while sniffling

"No, you're not fine, I could tell you were crying your eyes are red and puffy, why were you crying Alice, did I do something? " I asked her

"No I just"

"You just what?"

"I just feel weak and worthless and and disgusting I just-"

I put my finger on her lips silencing her, I put both my hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes.

"You're not weak worthless nor disgusting, why would you think that, is it because of how you look right now?"

"Yes, I look terrible Sky, I look like I've been...well you know beat up by a bunch of guys"

"I don't care about how you look Alice, this" I said while gesturing my fingers around her face and body "wasn't your fault, people just hurt you in many ways to break you down waiting for you to stop walking and start crawling in order for them to step on you easier, never let anyone treat you like shit because you're not shit you're beautiful, no matter how many scars and bruises form on you, you will always be beautiful to me if no one sees your beauty then they are just blind and foolish"

She stared at me with tears forming in her eyes, she looked down and began to cry, I hugged her and rocked her side to side soothing her while rubbing her back. I don't know why but for some reason I feel so connected to her, like if she was my...oh no can it be? Can she really be...oh my fangs she might be. I should've known from the moment I saw her and had that feeling in my heart that she was and in fact is my...soulmate. I stopped hugging her and looked at her face. She was so beautiful even with tears in her eyes I looked at her lips trying to hold myself back from kissing them and smiled, if she's my soulmate then that means I am the luckiest guy on earth to be with such beauty.

"Cmon gorgeous let's get you to bed okay?" I said to her holding my hand out for her to take. She took my hand and followed me towards the bed, I moved the covers and layed her down, I tucked her in and began to walk away but stopped when I heard a whimper.

"Where are you going Sky?" She said while sitting up. Even hearing my name coming out of her mouth made me feel so many different things at the sametime
I wonder what it'll sound like when I'm making love to her
seriously Skylar Night you're thinking about that now
I'm sorry I can't help it
Answer the girl before I slap you
Okay okay calm down

I turned around and faced her, she looked worried and scared but yet sad at the sametime but why?

"Um well since you're sleeping here I thought I would take the couch"

"C-can you stay with me please?"

"Are you sure"

"Yes, I don't want to be alone"

"Okay make some space for me" I walked towards the bed and undressed myself putting on a black pair of pants to sleep in. I got in the bed facing her while she looked down. Her face had so many bruises it made me wanna kiss them all, so that's what I did.
