A/N: The song in this chapter is by Taylor Swift as usual. It's called Cold as you. I don't own this song or Twilight in any way shape or form…

I smile when I wake up with the sunlight blinding my eyes. Warm arms around my waist burn soothingly. I twist to see Seth in his clothes from yesterday and the TV on mute. I shrugged. I guess we fell asleep while watching a movie last night. It wasn't the first time he spent the night. My parents still weren't back yet. They had made a luxurious week get away now that my sister and I were old enough to stay home.
I unwound my body from his arms and stood. I shuffled quietly to the bathroom to brush my teeth and go to the bathroom. I also changed while I was in there. I waked out of the bathroom to find Seth still sleeping. One arm off the bed and the covers up to his waist. He was snoring quietly, his head turned sideways. He was stomach down on the mattress. I always dreaded changing the sheets. If I did, the smell of him would disappear. I walked to my bed silently and kissed him silently. His eyes fluttered as he slowly woke up.
"Morning," I said, hopping over to the other side to cuddle into him. "Good morning, beautiful." He greeted me. I smiled and turned on the TV to Good Morning America. He changed the channel to another news station. We watched the weather for a couple of minutes. The news program changed to a story that sent me screaming. I buried my face into Seth's chest screaming, "Turn it off! Turn it off!" He quickly did and took my face in his hands. My cheeks were wet and my eyes were turning a light red. "What's wrong?" he worried. I took a deep breath and choked out, "I don't like to talk about this but I...I… I was hurt." "Hurt? Physically? Verbally? Mentally? Who did it?" he ordered, but his face softened when he looked into my eyes.
"My old boyfriend, Nick, all of them. He abused me. The only reason I know I can trust you is because I have known you for so long and because of the imprint," I cried. His brown eyes filled with fury. "What made you think of that?" he asked me. I pointed to the now blank TV that had once read, Teen Killed by Abusive Boyfriend. "Seth that could have been me." I said sadly.
He held me close and whispered in my ear. We stayed like that for a while. I told him the story of when I was at a party and he locked me in a room. That was the first time he ever beat me because I didn't do what I was told to do. I could feel Seth's entire body start to shake. I calmed him down by brushing my hand against his cheek softly. I buried my face deeper into his chest and continued, "If it weren't for my handy pepper spray or an unlocked window I might not of survived." After I was done with my sad tale, I asked Seth to grab my guitar from the corner for me. He got up and came back quickly, afraid to leave me alone. He handed me my guitar. I sniffed up my runny nose and started strumming, silent tears ran down my face slowly.
You have a way of coming easily to me
And when you take, you take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want cause I'm not what you wanted
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you and wished them all away
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away, no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
You never did give a damn thing honey but I cried, cried for you
And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you
Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Every smile you fake is so condescending
Counting all the scars you made
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you
When I was done singing I looked at the clock and noticed it was noon. I had spent three hours crying. Well, you know what they always say; time goes by when you're having fun. Yeah right! I decided to take a nap and fell asleep rather quickly, comforted by those big strong arms around me. My head lay on Seth's chest as he stroked my hair over and over and over again whispering, "Its ok. I have you. I will never ever hurt you." Over and over and over again. As I fell asleep, one thing crossed my mind, I have the best boyfriend in the world.
