Sunday October 20th 9:56AM

I wake up in the warmth of ciaŕan's body and i can't help but let a small smile from on my face. I slpped out of his grasp and silently walked downstairs. I grabbed a glass of water and some tylenol and slid down the wall cupping my face in my hands. why? Just..why? I felt a tear fall from my eye quickly wiped it.

I hear gentle footsteps causing me to snap out of my trance. "'Mornin sleeping beauty" I said making eye contact with him. He slid down the wall to sit next to me and leaned his head on my shoulder. "I'm gonna protect you, and I'm so sorry I'm too late. I was supposed to be with you, god I'm such a idiot" he said ruffling his hair stress fully. "Shut up. You're better than anyone I've ever met" I said holding him tighter towards me.

"My phones probably blowing up" I said reaching for it. "Hey I dont think that's a good idea right now" he said putting his hand on top of mine. "Why"i said scrunching my eyebrows. "You're stressed enough, I'll let them know you're safe" he said placing his head back on my shoulder. "Ciaran.." I whispered to him softly. "Yes", "can-" I was cut of by the sound of the front door shutting.

"Lyn" my dad said running towards me and wrapping his arms around me tightly. After a while he pulled back and cupped my face in his hands and I felt my eyes begin to water. "Ro baby we should have never left-" "dad stop. I wanted to stay" dominic walk over to ciaŕan and started talking to him which made me a bit nervous. "Who" dad said as his voice shook. "Dad-", "lyn you need to tell me" he said slightly raising his voice before apologizing.

"..myles" I said so lowly it was almost a whisper. "The myles that I called my son?" He said shocked. "He cheated on me with isabella too" I said putting my head down. "I'm gonna fucking kill him" before he walked off I grabbed his arm, "promise me you wont do anything that i dont want to do" "rose-" "promise me dad" i slightly yelled. He looked down at me as tears took over my eyes. "I promise" he whispered before walking upstairs.

I walked over to dominic and ciaran and dominic pulled me into a hug and rocked me side to side. "Hes a good guy, I like him" he whispered holding me tighter. "Trust me dom, I like him too" I said looking ahead making eye contact with ciaŕan. "Please don't do anything crazy, I know your my brother and all but I need to take care of this my way, and I promise I'm gonna get it taken care of." I said rubbing his back lightly.

I broke out of the hug and walked over to ciaŕan and wrapped my arms around his neck. His arms went around my waist I placed a kiss on his soft lips and leaned my head against his chest. "What were you gonna ask earlier?" He asked tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "Can I maybe stay at your apartment for the week" I said softly. "It would be my pleasure" he said grabbing my hand. "I just can't go back to school for a bit" I said swinging our linked hands side to side. He grabbed my other hand and dragged me upstairs.

We both laid on the bed and just stared at the ceiling as he held me. "Ian said he liked our song" ciaran said breaking the silence that once filled the air. "Really?" I said turning to make eye contact with him. "God you're beautiful" he said as his hand was gently placed on my waist. I let out a nervous laugh as my cheeks flushed.

Suddenly my doorbell rung and me and ciaŕan walked downstairs to get it. I let out an audible gasp when I took notice of who was in front of me. "Isabella go home" I said sternly. "Lyn-" "don't fucking call me that" I yelled. "Rose you-i-im so sorry about what happened" she said as tears took over her eyes. I couldn't help but feel a bit bad but I wasn't gonna let her get to me. "Cool, are we done here?" I said crossing my arms. She nodded her head and I slammed the door.

I put a few hoodies, Jean's, and shirts into my backpack and walked over to ciaŕan who was laying on my bed going through Instagram. I flopped next to him and laid my head on his chest. "Are you ready to go?"he asked softly. "Yep" I said matching his tone. He grabbed my hand to help me get off the bed and we walked to the front door. "Dad" I yelled. He looked at me from the top of the stairs. "We leaving now" I said walked over to him. "Please be safe roselyn" he said cupping my face. "I promise I will" I gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked downstairs. "Please be careful with my baby" he said to ciaŕan. "I got her, I promise" he opened the door and led me to his car.

As we walk into his apartment marshmallow came running towards me and I dropped down to his level to play with him. "I love this dog" I say as I throw his toy and watch him sprint for it. "Wanna watch a movie" he asked as he put I arm around my shoulder. "Only if I get to choose" I did turning to face him. "Of course" he said before gently placed a kiss on my lips. "Why is it negative 3 degrees in here cici" I said chuckling. "Fine I'll get a blanket loser" he said playfully rolling his eyes. "Hey its not my fault its snowing in here" I yelled as he went Into his bedroom to grab a blanket. "Here" he said throwing the blanket at me.

We watched Scott pilgrim until I eventually fell asleep in his arms as he planted a soft kiss on my forehead before falling asleep as well.
