Chapter 28

Chapter 28:

"Babe, it's been eight hours since you ate and took your first dose. You have to take your second." Kendall said before bed. Everyone had barely left before he started lecturing me.

"Kendall, I don't like these drugs! They make me tired!" I told him walking around like I wasn't ever hurt. I was in the kitchen grabbing a water bottle. He was on the other side of the bar yelling back at me.

"Roberta! You know you're going to have to sleep with these drugs in you anyway! They are just dreams!" He said slamming his hands down on the counter.

"You don't go through them and wake up and have constant reminders that represent them!" I yelled back. I stomped into the hall, not hearing him behind me, but as soon as I turn to shut my door, he's there. I didn't care, I was angry, I slammed the door in his face. I locked it and sat on my bed staring at the door, my heart longed to go open it, beg for forgiveness, and make him forgive me in the best way possible.

I never went to my door. I cried in my bed. I cried the hardest I've ever cried. Kendall had knocked once but when I stayed still and quieted my tears he left and slammed his door next door. I heard him strumming a few minutes ago, but I slowly drifted to sleep. It seemed like maybe minutes later I was lost in a dream, well nightmare. The ghost visited me in the dream without the Vicodin in my system. I woke up screaming and Kendall banging on my door. "Bobby! Bobby! Baby wake up! Open the door!" He was screaming at me from the other side. I stopped screaming. I rolled on my right arm to get up and ran to the door. I unlocked it to Kendall with a frantic face.

"Oh my God! Kendall, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I love you. Please forgive me!" I cried in his chest. I didn't even let him answer as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I pulled his lips to mine with my good arm as I clung to his body.

"Babe, calm down." He whispered as he pulled his lips away from mine.

"I need you Kendall. More than I had realized..." I whispered looking up into his soulful eyes. He nodded.

"Bobby I need you too. I need you like I need air." He smiled and kissed my lips. We lingered there for a moment as I felt my worries being washed away by his lips. We then pulled away as my relief was soon replaced with the fear of sleeping.

"I can't go back to sleep." I told him still holding onto him.

"Come on." He smiled. He Brought me into his room where a large tv sat. He sat me down on his bed and walked over to his movie collection. "Whatcha wanna watch babay?" He said quickly looking through the DVDs.

"Uh...." I thought leaning back on his pillows.

"Beauty and the Beast?" He asked already pulling out the DVD out of the case.

"You know me so well my love." I giggled. I glanced around his room and saw guitars hung on the walls, and one off its hook over by his desk. A song looked like it was in the midst of becoming great. "Writing a new song?" I asked as he shot his head up.

"Uh, yeah I am." He said standing up and looking at the sheet music left out.

"What's it about?" I asked him.

"Nothing. It's a work in progress." He said walking over in his sweats and tshirt. He laid next to me and cuddled me into his chest. I watched all the movie to where the towns people were charging the castle, when I heard a subtle snoring by my side. I looked up to see Kendall sleeping. I kissed his cheek.

"Goodnight my love." I whispered. I turned off the movie in hopes for some sleep tonight. I pulled the covers over Kendall and I as I slept next to him, just like how we had months ago on the one and only night we made love. This time was just as special.
