1. Dead Inside
Philip had saved my life, but part of me wish he hadn't. How could I live with Shane? Why I had wasted so much time rejecting him?
If I could do it over it again I would have married him as soon I finished high school. I would have stayed in Florida, and had ten babies by him. We still be living there now.
But you don't get go back in time I thought sadly. I was alive, but I felt dead inside. I had not gotten out bed all day.
"I brought you some tea," Philip said walking inside the guestroom.
"Thank you. I hope my being here won't cause any problems with Lilly. I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable," I said taking the blue mug from him.
"You don't have to worry about Lilly. That relationship did not work out," Philip said setting beside me on the bed. I was not sure how I felt about him being so close to me.
"I'm sorry. She seemed like a sweet girl," I said sipping the tea.
"Well, she decided to get back with the father of child. I don't want to split up someone's family," Philip replied his arms around me.
"You are all about family, aren't you?"
"Yeah. That was the only thing I ever did right. I worked my ass of to take care of my wife and Penny," Philip whispered.
"You have been good with Emily too. She's lucky to have you as father," I said moving closer to him and placing the empty mug on the floor. I did not want to give him the wrong idea, but I needed consoling.
"I am the lucky one," He murmurs.
"No, we are. I honestly I would have fallen apart the other night if it was not for you. I just can't imagine my life without Shane," I said fresh tears coming to my face.
He says nothing, but wraps his arms all the way around me. My head falls into his lap as I continue to cry.
"It's okay, baby," Philip whispers into my ear.
"I can't sleep. I cry all night. When I do sleep I have nightmares about Shane. If I had only gotten there sooner."
Philip gently runs his fingers through my blonde hair smoothing it out.
"You can always come to me when you have nightmares," he says, his voice gentle.
"That's kind of you," I reply looking into his light brown eyes.
"I want to comfort you."
"Do you think I could sleep with you tonight then? Just lay down beside you. That would be to weird, huh?"
"No, that would not be weird at all." He kisses my hair and wraps arms even tighter around me. Suddenly I find my eyes getting heavy.
"I am so tired," I yawn.
"Sleep baby," he whispers and I drift off.
