*AUTHOR'S NOTE* Thank you for so many good reviews on the last chapter guys! Like I said it meant a lot to me and I am glad you all liked it so much.
Chapter 10.
*TOBY'S POINT OF VIEW*
I looked at the clock on the bedside table next to Katie's bed. We had fallen asleep together and she was currently being held tight in my arms. It was 5am and the sun was just peeking out to say hello; but not quite enough to make it daylight outside.
I kissed the top of Katie's head. And again. And again. I just couldn't help myself. That night she had done something with obviously meant so much to her and I was privileged I was the one to make her come to terms with things.
To know everything Katie had been through made me feel sick. How does a sweet girl like her receive so much hate like that? The world can be such a nasty place some times.
I'm not afraid to say it now- I am in love with that girl. I will do anything to protect her now. I refuse to let her go through what she has done over the years.
I vow to myself to help her all I can- I vow to make her genuinely happy inside.
When Katie took her top off it meant so much to me. It warmed my heart knowing she trusted me enough to take her top off- let alone show me all those scars beneath. When I kissed each and every scar I just wanted her to feel like she didn't need to do this to herself and that she shouldn't be ashamed of these scars. I wanted her to like herself. And I wanted to prove I can help fix her.
All of a sudden I realised- she doesn't know what I do for a living does she? I have kept up the lazyvlogs and game play in her absence but they still aren't quite as often as they usually are. My audience can tell straight away when something is up and already they were wondering why I seem less energetic and enthusiastic in my videos. I hope now I can finally get them back on track. But I need to be honest with Katie and tell her about it all- perhaps she'll even be in one of my lazyvlogs soon.
I fell contently back to sleep on the thought of this.
*KATIE'S POINT OF VIEW*
"You're beautiful" Toby told me. "You're an amazing person".
"T...thank y...you" I replied nervously.
Toby took my hand and held it in his. He motioned for me to walk forward and I obeyed. We walked hand in hand towards the light. The light of heaven- the light of positivity.
"I will fix you" he breathed in my ear.
At this time I woke up. It was just a dream. But it was a good dream for once. I looked at the clock on the bedside table next to my bed. Me and Toby had fallen asleep together and I was currently being held tight in his arms. It was 4am and the outside world was still dark.
This was the first time I had ever shared a bed with anyone. I liked it. I liked it very much. Being beside Toby felt like nothing evil could get to me- and in result I hadn't had a nightmare that night. I felt safe and wished I could be here in this moment forever.
And then I remembered a song and figured it pretty much fit how I was feeling right now...how Toby made me feel.
"We hide from the mirrors
They might show our scars
Then there is the person that we want to be
The people we are
Confront your reflection
Smash what you see and let's restart
Cause mirrors can't see our hearts"
It made me feel content for once in my entire life.
*AUTHOR'S NOTE* For anyone who may wonder what those lyrics are from, it is a song by the band Rise Against called 'Broken Mirrors'.
