Minutes later we arrived finally in our room. We were both exhausted, we had a long and emotional day. Sara collapsed on the bed and pulled the blanket on top of her. I sat down next to Sara and rested my hand on top of the blanket; I could feel her body tremble with need under the heap of blankets.

“Sara, are you okay?” I was concerned; I didn’t know how this would affect her. “Sara, please talk to me?” I pleaded with her she hadn’t sat a single word since we left her parents house. I pulled away the blanket and it revealed Sara’s tear streaked face. She was falling apart inside; the pain was evident. We had worked so hard to break down the walls that Sara had built around herself. It had made her vulnerable, but the positive reactions from our closest friends had made her more confident and now everything was ruined, torn apart. I would take lots of courage for her to trust people. I leaned down and kissed her as I positioned my body next to hers I took her in my arms. I listened to her sobs until they finally subsided and she drifted off into a restless sleep. I on the other hand couldn’t sleep. My mind kept running over today’s events.

Chapter 14

Insecure

I woke up in the middle of the night, shivering from the cold. I must have fallen asleep, sometime during the night, on top of the sheets. I let go of Sara and moved towards the bathroom. I leant against the sink as I looked at myself in the mirror. I doubted if we did the right thing. If I did the right thing by telling Sara that, she should make things up with her parents. Maybe I shouldn’t have brought up the topic. I sighed heavily. I walked back into the room as I slowly undressed and crawled under the blankets.

Sara’s POV

I woke up as the sun hit my face. I could feel Catherine’s body behind me her arm still wrapped around me I smiled. I moved her arm and got up from the bed. A minute later the hot water was pouring down my back. I heard the door behind me open and within a split second I felt her hands on my back. She leaned down and kissed my neck. She started to massage my shoulders and I could felt them relax with every movement that her hands made on my skin.
