Don’t Cry Baby

Chapter 8

A dreamless sleep for the first time in weeks, so comfortable and warm. I wake up feeling rested and

relaxed. Ty's arms still firmly wrapped around me. He seems so pleasant and happy when he's asleep.

No creases on his forhead , just a simple relaxed smile on his lips. I kiss him gently before I realize

what I'm doing, old habits die hard. His eyes slowly open and he moves his arms to rub the sleep away.

"Good morning baby doll, how did you sleep."

"Good actually for the first time in weeks." He smiles and starts to get up.

"Wait can we just stay here like this. Just enjoy each others company and forget about all the problems

out there." He looks over at me with a wide grin etched across his face.

"Well of course we can, care to watch a movie?"

I nod and smile, he gets up and puts on one of our favourites before settling down beside me beneath

the blue and white checkered quilt. He curls up close and we stay like this for most of the day. I ignore

my calls and texts , from Damien I assume and just stay where I'm comfortable. Forgetting about NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

everything horrible that has happened in the past month. I just need one day where I'm comfortable.

Tyler seems fine today, no angry outbursts. I'm not as scared as I usually am being with him.

Something just feels different.

"I should get going Ty, my parents will be wondering where I was all night."

"Okay Ash, I'll see you later yeah?"

"Yeah Ty, but this doesn't change anything okay. You still hurt me."

"I know, I'm gonna spend all my time trying to make that up to you." I smile and give him one last hug

before changing and walking back home. Staying with him last night has given me so much to think

about. I know we can't be together anymore but is it possible that we could maybe be friends? Is it

possible I could have both him and Damien in my life? I didn't do exactly what I went over to Ty's to do

but, maybe being with him like that. Maybe making him feel like he's forgiven will help. Maybe he'll

leave Damien alone if I let him back in. Not fully he's still not going to be my boyfriend anymore but,

maybe I can keep Damien safe.
