I'm Not Afraid

Seraphine's Point of View

I laid in the guest bed as I stared up at the ceiling. I had been awake for the last two hours and I was driving myself insane just thinking about Andy and everything that had happened yesterday. We had never been angry with one another to the point where I slept in a different room. It was over something so small and so stupid.

I got out of the bed and went across the hall to the room I was supposed to share with Andy. I opened the door and noticed that he was sleeping on his side of the bed with his back to my side. His eyebrows were furrowed in confusion as he slept. I crept into the bathroom to get ready for whatever I was going to occupy my day with.

"No. She hasn't said a word to me since the bus.... Yeah, it fucking sucks... No I want to try to spend today with her... Yeah maybe tomorrow... Okay. See ya CC." Andy said as he spoke on the phone. I shut off the bathroom light and opened the door to find a sleepy eyed Andy sitting on the edge of the bed staring at the blank screen of his phone.

"Andy?" I said to get his attention. He looked up at me with sad eyes. "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, too." He said softly. I approached the bed and stood in front of him. He wrapped his arms around my hips and held me with his head pressed against my stomach.

"Andy." I said softly. He looked up at me. I was going to say the one thing that was racing through my mind and I just hoped he would say it back. "I love you."
