The Moment

Ashley's POV
We were walking along the sidewalk, the cool air blowing on our skin.
There was an awkward silence, for 10 minutes I could deal with it.
Once we got to the 15 minute mark it was too awkward for me, so I decided to speak up.
"Are you okay?"
"Yea just a little shocked." She mumbled.
"I would be too. He is never like that when drunk."
"Yea, I still can't grasp that it was CC that did it. I would expect that more from you, no offence." She said talking a little louder.
"It's okay. I know that I have that player, all I want to do is fuck, reputation."
When we got to her door I said goodbye and turned to leave, but Rain grabbed my wrist.
"Please stay." she said so quiet her voice was almost nonexistent. "It doesn't have to be for long, just a little while."
"Okay..."
We walked over to her room, and she climbed onto her bed, not bothering to change.
I sat on the edge beside her, and played with her long, silky black hair.
She just stared at me with those blue eyes of hers before pulling my arm.
"What?" I said gently.
She moved over some, and I knew what she wanted.
I climbed beside her and pulled her blanket over us while she snuggled into my chest.
I carefully moved my hand, and wrapped my fingers in with hers.
I could feel her smile into my chest, and I couldn't help but smile too.
"You feel better?" I whispered to her.
"Yea."
"Do you want me to leave?"
"Please don't leave me." She whispered into my chest.
I kissed the top of her head, smiling a bit.
I loved that she didn't want me to leave, even though it wasn't for the reasons I wished it would be.
We layed there in silence, it was a good silence.
Rain interrupted the silence with "Goodnight Ash."
I felt her drift off into a deep sleep, and her body completely relax.
"Goodnight Rain. I love you, and you don't even know it." I said before drifting asleep myself.
Rain's POV
We were at the door to my house, so Ash said goodbye to me and turned to leave.
Without thinking I grabbed his wrist, and whispered please stay.
God, such a cliche move, way to go Rain.
"Okay..." He replied with a small sigh.
Not a 'Oh god why' sigh, but a 'I'll do anything for you because of what happened' sigh.
I shuffled into my room with Ash following behind, and slowly climbed onto my bed.
I'm not going to even bother with changing into PJ's.
Ash sat on the edge of the bed playing with my hair.
what I really wanted was for him to lay beside me and let me lay my head on his chest.
I wanted to feel him by me, in some ways protecting me
Involuntarily I pulled on his arm, why the fuck did I do that?
"What?" he said ever so gently.
I moved over to give him enough room to lay beside me.
Please catch on Ash.
He did, got beside me, and pulled the blanket over us.
I snuggled into his chest, and listened to his steady heartbeat.
He moved his hand beside my hand and laced his fingers in with mine.
I smiled at how he gripped my hand so gentle, yet firm at the same time.
Wow Rain, you're acting just like the girls in those fanfics you read.
"You feel better?" he whispered.
"Yea" was all I could manage.
"Do you want me to leave?"
NOOOOO I definitely didn't want him to leave.
He made me feel safe.
Of course I'm not going to shout no at him though.
"Please don't leave me." I whispered into his chest.
How girlish am I going to be tonight?
I felt him smile/kiss on the top of my head, and it felt like butterflies were in a frantic swarm in my stomach.
I wanted him to stay here forever.
I love him.
Did I just admit that?
I guess I did.
We were in a little silence and it just made me want to go to sleep in his arms even more.
"Goodnight Ash." I said while relaxing so much it must of seemed I was asleep.
"Goodnight Rain. I love you, and you don't even know it." He said.
Was I just imagining that?
Was it just a hallucination that I had because I was so tired.
I don't know.
Ashley's POV
"You piece of shit. You think she wants you?" the Unknown man belted, as he kicked me in the stomach repeatedly.
"No! Stop it!" Rain cried trying to pull the man back.
"Get back you slut!" he screamed while pushing Rain to the floor.
I got up to help her and protect her at all cost.
The man threw me back to the floor and started over to Rain but turned back to look at me.
"I'm going to show you she doesn't want you." he said before turning to Rain, "Isn't that right sweetie?"
My eyes shoot open and I realize it was all some terrible dream.
Rain was still peacefully asleep in my arms.
She looks so angelic and perfect.
If only she thought of me the same as I thought of her.
I snuggled her into me more and lightly kissed the top of her head.
"I wish you loved me." I whispered.
Everything was still and quiet.
She started to move around and her eyes slowly opened.
"Hey." she whispered.
"Morning Rain." I replied.
"Morning Ash." she said starting to drift back to sleep.
"You still tired?"
"Yea." she sighed.
I made sure she was close to my chest and wrapped my arms around her delicate body.
"Ugh I cant fall back asleep." she mumbled.
"I can try to help with that" I said before humming the soft tune of Carolyn.
"I love you Ash." she whispered so softly I almost didn't hear it.
She probably didn't say that.
Just my mind making me hear things I want to hear.
