Chapter 19

Whenever I watched the news, I never understood why a person would physically harm another person unless it was for self-defense. It always made me sad when I read about a father murdering his wife and family for no apparent reason.

I constantly read about women being abused or raped and I never fully understood how they felt until today. I still don't fully understand. I didn't even face half of what some of these men and women face every day. And I'm still scared out of my mind. And hurt.

I toss and turn in bed, afraid of what might be hiding in the shadows. Now that Justin knows where we live, I have no idea what could possibly happen.

I climb out of bed, the melted ice pack falling off my bruised cheek. I shakily open my bedroom door and sneak across the hall. I quietly open Sapnap's bedroom door and walk inside, closing it behind me. I tiptoe over to his bed and slowly pull back the covers.

As I'm climbing into his bed, Sapnap wakes up. He groggily opens his eyes and when he notices me he opens his arms for me to climb into. I rest my head on his chest and he wraps his arms tightly around me, making me feel safe and protected. He soon starts rubbing my hair lightly.

"You're shaking," he whispers into my ear.

I don't respond, instead letting the warmth of Sapnap's body comfort me.

The cheek that was slapped is slowly starting to throb again from laying on it, so I turn around and face the other direction. Sapnap scoots closer to me from behind and tightly wraps his arm around my waist, pushing my back flush against his chest. I feel his light breathing on the back of my neck.

Being with Sapnap, in his arms like this, makes me realize how warm, protected, and safe I feel. Just his presence calmed me down and stopped my shaking. The feeling of his arm around my waist and his breath on my neck keeps me grounded.

Sure, talking with Justin made me feel happy, but he didn't make me feel safe and protected. Instead, he lashed out at me and scared me. I felt the complete opposite of safe.

"Sapnap?" I whisper.

He groans into my ear.

I slowly move out of his arms and sit up, looking down at him.

"I like you," I say.

Sapnap's eyes snap open and he sits up and faces me.

"You do?" He asks.

I nod.

I look down at my hands, playing with my fingers. "But I don't want to be together. Not yet. After what happened today, I think I need some time. But definitely soon." I look up and smile at him.

He smiles back.

"Well..." I start, moving closer so I'm sitting in his lap instead. He leans back against the headboard, his hands holding my hips. "It doesn't mean we can't have a little bit of fun."

I cup his face in my hands and lightly press my lips against his. He responds back immediately, placing his hands on the flat of my back to pull me flush against his chest.

I play with the hair on the back of his neck as he shoves his tongue into my mouth. I moan, and he squeezes my waist. I feel him play with the hem of my t-shirt before he tugs on it and lifts it fully off of me, leaving me only in my underwear.

He looks down at my chest, taking one of my nipples into his mouth as he pinches the other one.

I moan loudly and he takes his free hand and places it over my mouth. "Sh. We don't want anyone to hear, do we?"
