GoodReadChpater 258 I fell back to sleep to the sound of his heartbeat. When I woke again it was light outside, he wasn't beside me. Stretching out my limbs a hiss fell from my lips at the shooting pains in my stomach. It felt like a period only worse.
My full body ached.
I was sweating. So much so my hair was stuck to the back of my neck. Rubbing my forehead, I pushed the covers off my body. That's when I noticed the blood, my blood.
It was smeared all over the cover, all over the bed sheet beneath me.
Shit.
As I heard the flush of the toilet, I pulled the covers back up and over my body. I didn't want him to see this. "I've ran you a bath".

He didn't.
A sigh fell from my lips. "Could you makecoffee?". I asked.
"Leah"...
My eyes connected with his.
He knew. Of course, he knew. He could probably smell it. I cringed at myself for even thinking that. "It's embarrassing". I whispered.
"It's just blood baby. Here". He handedone of his t-shirts. "Put that on and go for a bath. It'll help with the pain".
"Okay". I pulled the t-shirt over my head and down my body. This is what I wanted. I was glad he was here. Looking after me, lovingthe way he should. Again, I dread to think what I would be like if I was on my own. "How are you feeling?". He asked.
"I'm okay. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. That's probably down to you being here". I slipped out of bed heading for the bathroom.
"Can we talk once you're done?" I didn't want to talk about it. I already told him this. I knew why he wanted to do it so I wasn't sure what else he could tell me.
"I don't want to".
"You're still pissed but please letexplain".
"I'm not". I frowned. "I told you-...".
"Yeah, you're fucking disappointed". He snapped.

Him snapping didn't bother me. It didn't fazein the slightest, not like it did before. I chewed the inside of my cheek and shrugged. "I don't want to talk about it because there's nothing you can say that I don't already know. You're here, you chose not to do it so we can put it behind us and move on". "I f****d up".
"You did but that's okay".
"Fuck' sake Leah will you just scream at me. Tellhow shit of a mate am and then we can move on. I don't like this cool and calm attitude. Callout on my shit so I can apologize". I made a face. Was he serious? "You don't needto do any of that for you to apologize".
"I feel like it's the calm before the storm". He muttered.
I gave him a small smile. I wasn't going to do or say anything. I wasn't going to bring it up again. Like I said. He was here and that's all that mattered. "No storm I promise".
