Paige

It feels like the walls are closing in on me as Blake leads me out of the fancy bar. Everything had been going so well until he mentioned me possibly wanting to date other people. How could he not understand? I can’t date other people. Blake is the only person for me, and if I can’t be with him, then I won’t be with anyone. It doesn’t work any other way.

Even though the air is warm outside, it’s a welcome change from the hot, humid air inside the bar. Once we’re on the sidewalk, I pull away from Blake and look at him, feeling the tears still sliding down my cheeks. I know part of this is from all the stress that is finally catching up with me.

“How could you even suggest that?” I demand, and I can see Blake is at a loss here. “How can you not understand how screwed up I was? How broken I was? I only want you!” I break off into a sob again.

“Paige, I was never implying that I wanted that. It would rip my fucking heart out if you wanted that, but I also didn’t want to keep you from certain things if you felt you needed to experience them!” He rakes his hand through his hair and I can see that he’s stressed out. “I know how hard it was for you, I mean I don't know, but I realize it was painful for you.” I can hear the pain in his voice. The pain of knowing how much pain I had experienced. “I know, Paige, I know. It was a stupid thing to say. I thought it was something you might have considered.” His voice trails off.

I feel a fresh sob work its way up and it breaks through.

“God, Paige, I’m sorry,” he moans, pulling me back into his arms.

I don’t resist this time. “Please, let’s just go back to the hotel. I want to sleep.” My voice is thick from the tears.

He nods, and quietly leads me back. We don’t speak as we walk through the lobby, or get in the elevator. Once in the room, I peel off of my clothes, take a quick shower and slip on a t-shirt and shorts. Blake silently gets into the shower after me, and a few minutes later, he’s climbing into the bed, wearing nothing. Normally, I would sleep naked too, but I feel too exposed at the moment. I need to physically cover up because of my emotional state.

Blake snuggles up behind me, and I let him.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” he says.

We’ve never fought before, even though this really isn’t a fight, aside from the time when he told me he was getting back together with Savannah. That was awful, but we weren’t together then.

“I over-reacted,” I say in a small voice. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”

He kisses the back of my head, and I know, just like that, I’m forgiven. I feel a blanket of peace come over me, and I’m asleep almost instantly.
