Lulu made her way into the bedroom ever so shakily, her injuries aching with each step so took.

"Here, let me help you baby." Johnny stood behind her, gently wrapping an arm around her, guiding her the rest of the way to the bed.

"Thank you." Lulu forced a smile as she sat on the edge of the bed, stopping to catch her breath as Johnny pulled the comforter back and shut his bedroom door.

"You don't have to be strong all the time, you know? It's okay to let out you're emotions. You went through a very traumatic experience tonight, it's valid. My job as you're boyfriend is to take care of you-that's what I'm going to do. Hopefully for the rest of our lives." Johnny spoke tenderly to her, dropping a kiss on her forehead as he sat on the bed.

"I'm just not used to being cared about by the opposite sex. You're the first man that I've ever been involved with that has truly cared. You don't scream at me or put you're hands on me-unless I want you to. You think about our future?" Lulu was shocked and touched at his words.

"I know, this is new territory for the both of us. You're my first girlfriend ever, and I'm trying to be the best boyfriend I can be. It's hard because I've never really seen what a healthy relationship looks like…I think that's why we work so well. We've been through some of the same experiences, we understand each other. Of course I think about our future, I look forward to what we have every single day-you're never far from my mind. I'm always thinking of you, even if I don't show it. I know we've only been a couple for a few months but, I feel like I've known you forever. Is that a mutual feeling?" Johnny pulls her into his arms gently, scooting them onto the top of the bed.

"You're better than you think you are-you're the best boyfriend I've ever had. I never thought that I would be able to connect with another person so well, you know? We understand each other on a deeper level than I ever thought was possible. I feel the same way. I-I think I love you. Truly. I don't know if it's too soon to say, I'm scared to say it out loud." Lulu admitted as she lay in her boyfriends arms, Johnny's arms immediately cocooning her into a loving embrace, as he kissed the side of her head.

"I love you, too. You don't ever have to be scared to tell me anything-talk my head off. I love being with you and hearing anything you want or need to tell me. You're an Angel." Johnny sighed into her blonde hair, thanking whatever force had brought them together that fateful September night.

"My dad used to always call my mom that. Angel. I guess it was his pet name for her-you know how he always has a name for everyone. I wish you could meet her, I know that she'd love you too." Lulu frowned at the mention of her mother, Laura had missed so much of her children's lives due to going Cationic.

"I would love to meet you're mom, and I know one day she will wake up. I know it's probably hard to keep that faith alive but, that's what keeps her alive. You're family's hope. I wish my mom were still here, I just know she would love you." Johnny smiled, it hurt that he'd never see his mother again but talking about her memory helped.

"I've grown so pessimistic over the years that sometimes I forget how lucky I am, thank you for reminding me. You can talk to me about you're mom anytime, I know you miss her." Lulu reaches up to stroke his face.

"Thank you, baby. I appreciate that. Right now I think we both need some rest, it's been a long night…"
