It was a little odd for the end of June but it was probably gunna be the last rain till autumn. Even though I could see the sun coming through the windows, it felt like there was nothing but darkness. Everything was at a calm and I sat on the couch, not wanting to do anything. I was tired from the night before since I couldn't get any sleep. I didn't want to watch TV because all of the good shows reminded me of Phil. Raine was still asleep so I sat on the couch, staring into oblivion. When she finally came down, she walked over to me and started rubbing my back./p

Come on," I said, getting my coffee and bringing it upstairs with me. Raine followed behind me and we went into her room. The day consisted of unpack things, decorating the room and her bathroom and her office. We didn't get everything quite done at the end of the day but there was no word about Phil so it was decent. I learned that Raine had a job interview tomorrow at a school nearby and she was really confident about it. It was extremely lucky that they needed an assistant drama teacher just as she came here. We continued the unpacking the next day as well but I grew even more tired as last night I couldn't sleep again. The day drew on and it soon came time for Raine to leave for her interview. I didn't want to be left alone but I knew this was extremely important. When she finally left the house, I turned on my music really loud, turned on the TV, and went to go read a book. I had my bag of crisps next to me and I was ready to wait the two hours she'd be gone. I couldn't risk falling asleep or thinking about Phil. Twenty minutes into reading, I dozed off unfortunately and didn't wake up right away. I was in my old house in my dream and there was a knock on my door. Andrew was there and he was really tall and scary looking. He came closer with a creepy grin, looking down on me. This dream was familiar. He grabbed my wrist, but then another hand grabbed my other. When I looked up, shaking from fear, I saw Phil's face and I started to scream. There was nothing I could do. I couldn't move. Andrew slapped me across the face and Phil kicked my shin. I fell down screaming and crying and then they kept hurting me. I suddenly woke up, my whole body shaking and my face wet from tears. I quickly took my phone in my hands, turned it on, and called the one person I didn't ever want to see again: Phil./p

I'm coming," he said and I hung up. I cried even more because I was angry at myself for doing that but I had no choice. I had to admit to myself that Phil made me feel safe. I cried and cried and tried to block out all the noises around me, but it was too much. There was voices in my head that couldn't be turned off. Suddenly there were arms wrapped around me and I gasped. I opened my eyes and I could tell it was Phil there comforting me./p

I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I promise. I love you. I don't want to hurt you. I'll keep you safe. I promise. I'll be there for you. Trust me. I love you," he kept saying, rubbing my back and holding me in his arms. I stopped crying and I tried to calm down. I started to wheeze and so he let me go, making me sit up and get some air. "Just breathe. Take deep breaths. Calm your breath. Breathe." I followed his instructions and my breathing went back to normal. "I'm going to get you some water and tissues. I'll be right back." He looked me directly in the eye and I nodded. He left the room and came back with the tissues and glass of water. I wiped off the tears from my face, blew my nose, and then took a big gulp of water./p

We fell back into the routine and sat like that, softly kissing for almost a minute. I was glad to have him back, even if two seconds ago it seemed I never wanted to even think about him. This experience showed me just how much I needed him in my life. I really wouldn't know what to do without Phil./p

I searched around the corner where I threw it and found my ring and my necklace. I put them back on and turned to Phil. "All better." I smiled proudly and he came over to me with a chuckle. He kissed me again and then lifted me up. I giggled as he carried me over to the couch. We turned on the TV, cuddling and kissing as we watched Food Wars. Raine eventually came home, throwing her bag down on the table and then saw us on the couch. She cheered, jumping up and down and then ran over to me. I got up and hugged her. She then went straight for Phil to wrap him in a hug too./p

I asked him time and time again if he would ever do anything to hurt me and he kept saying no. At some point he already knew that he had done so and still decided to keep it from me. He lied right to my face when he said he wouldn't."/p

I said, sitting up. "Oh Raine, I'm sorry. I really didn't want to lie to you but I was forced and frightened by Andrew and then I was scared by your reaction the second time."/p

I was extremely angry at Phil and I didn't want to think about him ever again./p

Come on," I said, getting my coffee and bringing it upstairs with me. Raine followed behind me and we went into her room. The day consisted of unpack things, decorating the room and her bathroom and her office. We didn't get everything quite done at the end of the day but there was no word about Phil so it was decent. I learned that Raine had a job interview tomorrow at a school nearby and she was really confident about it. It was extremely lucky that they needed an assistant drama teacher just as she came here. We continued the unpacking the next day as well but I grew even more tired as last night I couldn't sleep again. The day drew on and it soon came time for Raine to leave for her interview. I didn't want to be left alone but I knew this was extremely important. When she finally left the house, I turned on my music really loud, turned on the TV, and went to go read a book. I had my bag of crisps next to me and I was ready to wait the two hours she'd be gone. I couldn't risk falling asleep or thinking about Phil. Twenty minutes into reading, I dozed off unfortunately and didn't wake up right away. I was in my old house in my dream and there was a knock on my door. Andrew was there and he was really tall and scary looking. He came closer with a creepy grin, looking down on me. This dream was familiar. He grabbed my wrist, but then another hand grabbed my other. When I looked up, shaking from fear, I saw Phil's face and I started to scream. There was nothing I could do. I couldn't move. Andrew slapped me across the face and Phil kicked my shin. I fell down screaming and crying and then they kept hurting me. I suddenly woke up, my whole body shaking and my face wet from tears. I quickly took my phone in my hands, turned it on, and called the one person I didn't ever want to see again: Phil./p

I'm coming," he said and I hung up. I cried even more because I was angry at myself for doing that but I had no choice. I had to admit to myself that Phil made me feel safe. I cried and cried and tried to block out all the noises around me, but it was too much. There was voices in my head that couldn't be turned off. Suddenly there were arms wrapped around me and I gasped. I opened my eyes and I could tell it was Phil there comforting me./p

I'm sorry. I won't do it again. I promise. I love you. I don't want to hurt you. I'll keep you safe. I promise. I'll be there for you. Trust me. I love you," he kept saying, rubbing my back and holding me in his arms. I stopped crying and I tried to calm down. I started to wheeze and so he let me go, making me sit up and get some air. "Just breathe. Take deep breaths. Calm your breath. Breathe." I followed his instructions and my breathing went back to normal. "I'm going to get you some water and tissues. I'll be right back." He looked me directly in the eye and I nodded. He left the room and came back with the tissues and glass of water. I wiped off the tears from my face, blew my nose, and then took a big gulp of water./p

Really, it was just like having dinner with a friend. I'm truly sorry."/p

We fell back into the routine and sat like that, softly kissing for almost a minute. I was glad to have him back, even if two seconds ago it seemed I never wanted to even think about him. This experience showed me just how much I needed him in my life. I really wouldn't know what to do without Phil./p

I searched around the corner where I threw it and found my ring and my necklace. I put them back on and turned to Phil. "All better." I smiled proudly and he came over to me with a chuckle. He kissed me again and then lifted me up. I giggled as he carried me over to the couch. We turned on the TV, cuddling and kissing as we watched Food Wars. Raine eventually came home, throwing her bag down on the table and then saw us on the couch. She cheered, jumping up and down and then ran over to me. I got up and hugged her. She then went straight for Phil to wrap him in a hug too./p
