FREDDIE'S POV:
I stared at Lindsey's bracelet that sat in my hand where she'd dumped it. The only reason I'd considered sleeping with Sinead is because Lindsey meant the world to me and more, and I would've done anything to save her going through that torture for a minute longer. Shoving the bracelet into my pocket, I grabbed my jacket and hurried out of the house…
LINDSEY'S POV:
I ended up at Cindy's door but there was no answer. Ringing the doorbell for the 3rd time, I waited for an answer, wrapping my arms around me to try and rid the cold that continued to hit me as I stood outside her front door. Sighing heavily, I leant against the wall and shut my eyes. Only a matter of hours ago, I'd been sat in a police cell and now I was here when I should've been with Freddie. He loved me, and the reason he was going to sleep with Sinead was because of me…
FREDDIE'S POV:
I arrived back at the house after having no luck finding Lindsey. I'd been everywhere; the park, The Dog, the café, everywhere I could think of. Shutting the door behind me, I removed my coat and went to hang my coat up, sighing with relief as I saw Lindsey's coat was on the hook. Hanging mine up, I kicked my shoes off and searched the house for her, entering our bedroom to find her curled up on our bed, sprawled out onto my side of the bed. I shut the door behind me and sat down on the edge of the bed, watching her sleep…
LINDSEY'S POV:
The bed dipped as Freddie sat down on it and I swallowed, continuing to pretend to be asleep…
"You mean everything to me, Linds" he sighed "you're my world. You're my rock when things are tough and you're the person who makes me smile when my days are crap. how much I love you scares me. I've loved you since the day I met you and the only reason I was going to sleep with Sinead is because I didn't want you going through the torture of being in a police cell a minute longer. I wanted you back here with me, back in the warmth and comfort of my arms, back with the family where you belong. I love you, Lindsey, I just need you to know that"
I shut my eyes as I felt Freddie move again, feeling his lips press against my forehead. The door shut behind him and I turned over, hearing his footsteps on the stairs a couple of minutes later…
FREDDIE'S POV:
I was in the process of falling asleep when I felt the bedcover I'd grabbed from the airing cupboard lift, a coolness hitting my boxer covered legs. Opening my sleep-addled eyes, I saw Lindsey lying next to me, her body snuggling into mine…
"I'm sorry" she whispered
"For what?" I questioned, pulling her into me
"Everything, for storming out, for not letting you explain. I heard everything you said upstairs. I was awake but I was too scared to open my eyes. I love you too, Freddie, so much" she admitted
Swallowing a lump in my throat, I pressed my lips against hers, her hand moving around my neck, running through my hair…
"Can you put my bracelet back on please?" she asked as we pulled away
I nodded my head, signalling yes… "Pass me my jeans"
Doing as I asked, she handed me my jeans and I reached into the pocket, handing the jeans back to Lindsey to lay on the floor. She turned back to me and I fastened the bracelet around her wrist, kissing her softly…
"Shall we go to bed?" I suggested
"I'm happy here" she informed me
