sobbing

Go away

~sits next to her when she talks about her rape and pulls her close.~ Hey..your with me now..your safe. ~strokes her cheeks~

I'm just so scared *buries her head in his chest*

Go away

No problem baby. ~smiles and sits on the table across the table from Erin and rubs his hands on his legs~ Erin…what where your dreams about.?

*bites her lower lip hesitantly* About... my rape... I see his face, his bald head, his crazy eyes. I feel his weight on me *she frowns and closes her eyes. She never tells this to anyone, but she trusts him* I feel the smell of the dark alley. I hear the sound of the cars driving by. I feel the desperation on my throat. It hurts so much down there *she bites her tongue*

Go away

~smiles a little and kisses her forehead~ It’s coming right up. ~opens his door and lays her on the couch than goes in the kitchen to make tea~

*cracks a weak smile* thanks *she closes her eyes as she's in the couch but she doesn't fall asleep. After a while, Jordan comes back with the tea and she thanks him again* you're so kind *she sips it, feeling better*

Go away

~looks down at her and kisses her than picks her up and carries her to his room~ 

*kisses him back and lets him pick her up and they go to his room* I want tea *whispers between kisses*

Go away

~brushes her hair slowly with one hand~ I’m not sure…let’s go get you some tea?

*closes her eyes and sighs* okay..

Go away

~tightens his grip around her and sinks his face into her hair.~ I promise….

*starts to breath normally, or at least tries to* What time is it? *mumbles*

Go away

~wipes her tear away with his thumb~  It’ll be okay, babe ~whispers back and pulls her into him and kisses the top of her head~

*him calling her babe makes another tear roll down her face, she misses him when she shouldn't* Promise me

Go away

Hey..~puts his hands on her shoulders to calm her~ Erin..breathe..it’ll be okay.

*a tear rolls down her face* Help me... *whispers*

Either this college doesn't know how to party...

Go away

What happened?

The nightmares are back... I don't know what to do, I'm so tired..

Go away

Me?

Not you. The nightmares..
