Lost Beyond Repair

Chapter 12:

Third Person POV

The next morning came, Emily and Nick were still holding each other. After about an hour passed Emily woke up wondering where she was. She couldn’t move a muscle in her body though, it hurt to much. For once in her life she felt safe after having being beaten up by her brother David and she didn’t understand why. Her eyes fluttered open as she looked around the room she noticed she was no longer in her room and began to panic. She felt heat next to her and turned her head only to realize she was sleeping next to Nick all night.

Emily didn’t mind waking up in his room, but she doesn’t quite know how she got there. All she knows is she feels safe and happy he’s next to her. She admired him while he slept peacefully. His hair was a curly mess and his lashes were so pretty to look at. She stared for a while and got startled when she heard him speak. “If you keep drooling over me like that I don’t know if I can hold myself back from kissing you much longer.” She looked away blushing. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it. You just looked so mesmerizing I got caught in a trance.”

They laid in bed for a bit longer while Nick cuddled her. Emily was okay with being cuddled she’s never felt anything like this and she did not want to lose the feeling. “Can I ask you something?” Emily questioned. Nick turned his head and peered into her bright crystal blue eyes. “You can ask me anything.” He responded. Emily took a breath in before asking, “How did I get in your house? I was in my room last night.” Nick waited to answer. “I heard everything that happened to you last night. I climbed out of my window to help you, but I didn’t want to get you into even more trouble by climbing through your window with someone yelling at you. Eventually I heard your screaming stop and panicked. Once I got ahold of myself and heard your door close I went into your room quietly. I saw how badly beaten you were and I needed to get you out. I came back to my house and got a step stool to get you out. I packed a bag with as much as I could fit and carried you back here. Since my parents were asleep I carried you through the front door.” She looked at him astonishingly amazed by what he did. She’s never had anyone care this much about her before.

Nick got up and asked if she wanted to shower while he got breakfast ready for them. “Well, this is embarrassing, but I can’t move my muscles much. I’d like to shower though. I think I’d feel nice.” She said to him with red cheeks. “Do you want me to help you? Not shower, but at least to the bathroom and start the shower for you?” Nick responded. “Yes, that would be nice. I am really sorry for this.” She said helplessly. “Emily you don’t need to sorry. I’d do anything for you and you know that.” He smiled at her while bending down to help her up off the bed.

They got to the bathroom and he got the water started. Emily could move her legs a little bit along with her arms but it was painful to do so. Nick leaves her to shower. She undresses and steps into the shower. Already her muscles start to relax as she steps under the water.

Meanwhile, Nick is in the kitchen preparing breakfast. He made omelets and was finishing up cooking the bacon. He wants it to be a perfect breakfast served with orange juice.

He heard the water shut off just in time as he was headed back to his room with a tray in both hands full of breakfast. He wasn’t sure if his parents were home and did not want to risk running into them. He just needs to wait a little longer before he asks them to have Emily move in. He knows it’s not away from her family just as long she is with living with him, no longer needing to be their maid. He will be more than happy to protect her from them anywhere at anytime.

Nick was cleaning up his room, while making his bed he heard a shout coming from the bathroom. “Hey, I forgot my clothes in your room! Can you bring my bag in here, please?” Emily shouted realizing how stupid and embarrassing she was at the moment. After a couple minutes passed she heard a knock on the door. “Come in” she said. Nick opened the door and was stopped in his tracks. He’s never seen someone so beautiful in his life. “Thank you..I’m sorry again” Emily said while taking the bag from his hands. He pulled hisself out of the trance he was in when she grabbed the bag. “Oh, I brought this ointment cream to help with your bruises. I bought it a couple weeks back just in case.” He said handing out the Arnicare. She was a bit surprised and took the ointment. “Thank you, you didn’t need to do that.” She said. “I know, but I knew I’d use it eventually and I wanted to be ready for when I did.” He said quietly still admiring her. Nick hadn’t realized he was slowly walking up to Emily until he got so close he was holding her. “You’re beautiful, you know that?” He told her resting his chin on the top of her head with his arms wrapped around her. She blushed and wrapped her arms around his torso. “Thank you. Although, I do appreciate this hug right now, I really need to get dressed.” She giggled. “Right, right I forgot. Well I will be in my room with breakfast.”

Emily got dressed, put the cream on, and walked back to Nick’s room. She came into a room that was organized neatly and had two tv dinner tables set up by the bed. She was so happy, she’s never had anything like this before. She sat down on the bed next to Nick and began to eat her breakfast. Emily was halfway through her breakfast when she realized she needs to go back home. “Nick, I need to go home.” She said out of the blue breaking the comfortable silence. “I’m not letting you go back there. I’m sorry, but last night is the last night you will be there. I won’t have you being taken advantage of anymore. You deserve more than what you get.” Nick said keeping his eyes on his food. Emily was surprised she never thought someone would try and keep her away from her family. She is however, not upset for someone finally saying it. “Okay, but I need to go back and get my stuff. I have a bunch of stuff hidden and I need it. I worked too hard to just leave it there. It’s mine. Also I have no where else to go.” She said quietly. “I plan on talking to my parents. I want you to stay here. We have a spare room that’s down the hall from the bathroom. The door that’s closed all the time. We can get your possessions as well. I locked your bedroom door last night, we can get in and out quietly with everything.”
