Her

Chapter Four

I walked into my room and sat next to her on the bed. She has her hands covering her face as quiet sobs escaped her lips every so often.

"What happened" I asked.

I know. Stupid question. I heard almost all of it when they were yelling at each other before.

"As soon as I came in here he tried to touch me. I repeatedly pushed him off but he didn't get the message. I really did come in here because I wanted to take a nap and the next thing I know he's trying to shove his hands down my pants" she cried

"I'm sorry. He should never have pushed you like that. You said no and he should have respected that." I said

Amber was hurting because Josh had just violated her and all I could think was how I wanted to bash his face in.

"Listen to me" I started "You are not a whore. He only said that because he was trying to get in your pants and you wouldn't let him. He's a jerk forget about him. His opinion doesn't matter. You have so many people who care about you."

"Yeah like John? 'would you relax it's not like he raped you'. Yeah he didn't rape me but he might have if you guys weren't here. Regardless he still violated me and John didn't even care. 'take another shot' he said. Like that's going to help. Jesus it's like no one gets it."

"You have every right to be upset with Josh and John. They both were assholes to you and you didn't deserve any of that. You are a beautiful person Amber, inside and out. I want you to know it's okay to feel whatever you are feeling. You do not have to justify how you feel to anyone. You are allowed to be upset and you don't need to hide. I see you." I finished

I had no idea where all of that came from or that I was even possible of giving such helpful advice but maybe that's what happens when you love someone. They make you the best possible version of yourself. And since I've never been in love I couldn't tell you who I am right now.

She climbed onto my lap and held onto me. At first I was taken aback but I quickly recovered and wrapped my arms around her. She cried quietly into my arms and I just rubbed her back, telling her everything would be okay.

I've never been good at emotions or giving advice but with her it was different. She had awoken something inside of me that I didn't know was there.

She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. I went to get up to get her some tissues but she pulled me back against her. She looked up into my eyes. Hers were bloodshot but still bright blue. They met my brown ones. I felt this current running through me and every nerve in my body screaming 'kiss her' and god I wanted to. She leaned in and so did I. Our lips connected and I felt something I had never felt before. Lust? Love? Both? The electric current went through my entire body, igniting me. She opened her mouth allowing me access to her tongue which I gladly accepted. I had kissed other girls before but it had never felt like this. It had never felt so freeing. I had never felt so alive. She pulled away all too soon and I was left breathless. I looked into her eyes and I felt at peace. Like there had been a part of me missing that now I had finally found.

"I think you're going to be good for me." She whispered as she laid her head back on my chest.
