Cruel Cruel

I looked out of the window to my bus, watching Lee walk towards it.
Why did I like her so much?
I always wanted to be with her every second of the day, and when she left me, I never felt whole without her in my arms. She walked onto my bus, and I smiled at her.
"Hey." I said. She looked at me uneasily, and I shot her a confused look.
"Hey how was the signing?" She asked me.
"Good, what did you do all day?" I said. Something flashed in her eyes, and I couldn't see what it was.
"I hung out with Alex, and Jack for most of the time after my set, then Rian and Zack showed up." She smiled falsely at me.
"Cool." I said putting my arm around her. She didn't respond to my touch, and I became suddenly worried. "Babe, are you alright?"
"No, uh Andy I have to tell you something." She said taking my hands.
"What's that? Your not breaking up with me right..." I said nervously.
"No! Not at all, I really like you, a lot." She said sheepishly.
"Okay good." I sighed.
She exhaled out, "Okay. Well I was on tour for the first time with All Time Low, something really bad happened."
"What happened?" I asked.
"We were just a supporting band at the time, and a small one at that. I didn't have a body guard, and I went outside of the venue to go get something from the store. It was a really shady part of the town, and I was really scared. All of the sudden a man started, uhm, harrassing me. Eventually he...raped me. I was a virgin. That's why I don't want to have sex yet..I'm just not ready." Lee had started crying, and tears of my own were pushing to my eyes.
"Oh Lee." I said pulling her into my chest. She was completely sobbing now.
"I wanted to tell you, but it's really hard for me to talk about. He had his hands all over me, and I-" she gasped into my chest, and wasn't able to finish. I stroked her hair, and rocked her back and forth.
"Lee your so beautiful, and I would never hurt you, alright? I know your not ready, and I would never pressure you into anything you don't want to do." I kissed her forehead, and she looked up at me, still clutching onto my shirt.
"Andy?" She said biting her lip.
"Yeah?" I said holding her tightly.
"I think I love you." She nuzzled her face into my chest.
"I love you too." I kissed the crown of her head.
