A New Life

Chapter 19

Chris POV:

I felt my heart break as soon as she started saying that she woke up on the sidewalk. I knew what she was going to say. I fucking hate that I knew. I felt every fibre of my being start to boil. How could someone fucking do this? Why did I have to be gone when it happened? I could have stopped it. I could have been there for her. Look at what this scumbag has done to her. She's so broken. I never want her to feel this way. I can't help but think about what's going to happen the next time I leave. Fuck.

After she finished, she started apologising. God knows what for. I just take her into my arms and let her get it out. We sat there for about 20 minutes. When she started to calm down, I lifted her face to look at me. She needed to see me say "I am so sorry you have had to go through this alone. I'm so sorry for what that bastard has done to you. You have absolutely no reason to ever be sorry for what happened. I'm so glad you told me Katy, that you felt like you could tell me. You are so beautiful and so strong to have gone through this. I cannot even imagine what it's been like for you. Just know that I will always be here for you". She just smiled slightly and put her head back down onto my chest. We just sat there, in a comfortable silence.

We must have sat in those wooden chairs for a couple hours. We started to feel our butt's go numb, so we moved to the couch. We put on her favourite movie Pretty In Pink. We didnt talk too much and by half way she was asleep on me. I stayed there and finished this overly cheesey romantic 80's movie. I moved to turn the TV off and she woke up. "No stay." was all she said. "I'm not going anywhere" I reply.

She snuggles back into me and I can't help but kiss her forehead. "Not yet anyway..."

Bzzz.

Rick: How's things going dude?

Me: I can't believe what she's told me. We need to find this son of a bitch.

Rick: Obviously, but we have no other information. How's she doing?

Me: She's asleep atm.

Rick: Have you told her yet?

Me: Not yet. I don't think I could do that after what she just said.

Rick: I get it, but it's something we have to tell her. It's not going away, and we've got like a month.

Me: I know. I'll do it. I just have to find the right time.

I know I need to tell her, but I just can't right now. I don't even know if I want to go. I know I have to, I know the fans need me to go, but I don't want to leave her. I don't even want to think about what could happen this next time. We're going even longer. 14 weeks, with a week break for Christmas.
