We sat there for a few minutes. Jesse holding me and me just not thinking about anything. I couldn't believe I'd finally done what I had done. It felt great to be free. After about 15 minutes, Jesse hoisted me up and helped me walk into the house. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to climb the steps but I figured what the hell? Might as well try. I made it eventually even thought my legs still felt like jelly.
Once we entered our room I got a good look at Jesse. He had a black eye and a few cuts, nothing that wouldn't heal but I felt bad. I fell on my side of the bed but rolled over when he joined me.
"Im sorry Jess." I said, looking into his eyes.
"For what?" He asked reaching an arm behind me.
"I dunno, for dragging you into this I guess." He smiled his ever sweet smile that made my heart stop.
"You didn't." He said starting to rub my back.
"Yeah, I did. You didn't have to do this. If I hadn't even told you, you wouldn't have gotten into this." I said.
He shook his head. "Im glad you told us. You shouldn't of had to go through that. No matter what he says it isn't your fault." He said brushing away a tear that had slide down my cheek despite my desperate attempts to hold it in, with his thumb. I didn't say anything just looked at him trying to figure out how I'd gotten him. I moved closer and snuggled into his chest. He put his arms around me but contunied rubbing my back.
I fell asleep that night knowing I was free and feeling Jesse's heart beat against mine.
