Count on me

Chapter 5

Rob's POV

I hear a door bell as I slowly wake up.

I sit up and look around as I'm still on the sofa.

Rubbing my eyes, I look at the clock to see what time it is.

2.45am

Who the hell comes to someone around 3 in the morning?

I slowly go to the door and open it as I frown, not believing what I see.

"Katy?" I ask as she looks up at me, her eyes red and puffy from crying.

I open the door more, letting her in.

She walks inside and into the living room as I follow her.

I watch her as I see her in the light, noticing her purple cheek.

I sit down next to her. "What happened?" I ask worriedly.

"H-he got jealous and went to the bar" She whispers, playing with her fingers. "I thought he wouldn't come back but he did. Drunk as fuck"

I held her hand as caress the back of it with my thumb as she smiles lightly.

"You can stay here" I say softly as she raises her head.

"Don't you hate me?" She asks, her voice weak as I pull a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"I would never hate you" I say softly.

She gets a little closer and cuddles to me.

I wrap my arms around her as she rests her head on my chest.

"I'm sorry I left" She whispers into my shirt as I lay my head on top of hers.

"Don't be" I murmur, rubbing her back as I want her to feel better.

She holds my shirt as she cries into my chest.

I smell her vanilla scent as I keep her close in my arms.

I look down at her as I hate seeing her hurt.

I've never wanted her to end up like this.

No one ever should hurt her.

I kiss her hair as she closes her eyes.
