Chapter 17

Jumping out of bed, I feel someone behind me.

Leaning on the wall as my body shakes, my breathing panicking, I stare at Rhett sleeping.

Controlling my breathing, breath One, two, three, he's not here.

Wiping the tears away from my cheeks.

Walking into the bathroom to wash my face, I place my hands on the counter and lean towards the sink as I try very hard not to throw up my body shivers at the memory or him. It normally takes me a few days, to get him out of my head again I guess I forgot with Rhett next to me.

The barrier I've put around me I let down, and the bastard got in my head.

"Hey, you okay?" Rhett's voice makes me jump, turning the light on. "Seriously Scarlett, what's wrong?" He takes a step towards me and I take one back not wanting him to touch me yet as the dream always make me feel disgusting.

"Nothing, just needed the bathroom," I walk out of the room as I pull my band around my wrist. I have always tried to clear my mind so those things never pop up in my head, tonight I must have gotten comfortable with Rhett and my mind was relaxed, grabbing a bottle of water I look over at the door. I can leave he can't keep me prisoner, I look over at Rhett looking at me, "it was a dream that's all," I say taking a sip of my water, as my throat gets dry.

"Have sex then leave, and you will never have to explain," Rhett leans on the door frame with his arms folded across his chest.

The intense look he's giving me, I know he won't let me leave even if I want to.

I can't walk away from him even if I want to.

"No, I have sex and leave, because..." I stop before I say any more, about how low I think of myself, and make Rhett thinks the same thing.

"Because that is what he did, and you think it's normal to do," Rhett walks over "I'm not leaving because I think you're amazing," Rhett goes to grab my hands, but I move them to my side, I can't let him touch me yet.

"Can we go back to bed?" I ask looking at the door as I walk around him.

I can't leave.

I like him too much to walk away from him.

"Don't run, Scarlett don't run from us," He says, walking on the other side of the bed.

Rhett cups my face and wipes my tears with his thumbs, I've never been spoken to like this and I'm scared that I will get hurt. "Just open the door for me," He says giving me a kiss.

Pulling the cover over himself, his brings his arm over my stomach, "I will never let you leave," he whispers.

I lie there for a moment and the warmest feeling to have ever come, hits me.

What the hell is that?

Is that me letting Rhett into my life?

He said he's never going to
