I smacked my door closed and locked it. I heard Stephens body hit it with such a force, I thought the door would break. "TALK TO ME!!" He yelled through the door. I let out a whimper as I moved away from the door.

"Y/N!!" He yelled as he banged on the door. "Leave, leave leaveleaveleaveleaveleave." I muttered out under my breath as my back hit the wall opposite the door. I slowly fell down to my knees before burying my head in my hands.

My palms were growing wetter and wetter by the second, whilst my body shook violently. I sniffed hard as I felt the mucus starting to fall from my nose. "Y/n?" Stephens voice asked again. His voice calmer now, than before. A chocked sob escaped my throat before I sniffed once more. "I'm sorry. Can you please open so we can talk?" He asked calmly.

I held up my hand and focused on the lock. I heard a click and then opened the door for Stephen to enter. "Thank you." He breathed out.

I kept my head down between my knees. "I'm sorry y/n. I know it's hard for you to open up, but I swear I only want to protect you. I was just angry you hadn't told me sooner, okay?" He told me. I nodded but kept my head down. I felt him sit down beside me. "Can I touch you?" He asked me. I nodded again as I lifted my head up. "Please, tell me with your words." He told me, his voice soft.

I took a deep breath before doing as he told. "You can touch me."

He put his scarred hand on my cheek to make me look into his eyes. I looked up into his ocean eyes. They somehow made me feel safe. "I am truly sorry, okay?" Stephen told me, his face full of sorrow. I nodded as I let my eyes fall shut. "Can I hug you?" He asked with a soft voice. I nodded again. He carefully wrapped his arms around my shoulders.

I tightly wrapped my arms around his waist as I burrowed my head in his shoulder. "I trust you, you know that right?" He told me as I felt his hand smooth down my hair. "I know." I answered as I sniffed. He let out a deep sigh, I could feel his chest move. "Do you trust me?" He asked. I knew the question would come. "I want to." I answered him.

He moved slightly away and cupped my cheek to make me look at him. "Then take the leap, trust me. I have given you no reason for you not to trust me, right?" He asked me. I nodded as I let my eyes fall shut, a tear sliding down my cheek. I felt his thumb dry it away. "I trust you." I whispered out. I felt his lips on my forehead. "Thank you." He breathed out against my skin.

A/n: wow, I updated. After what? 5 months? I truly am sorry for that... ANYWAY, I'm on my way home from Austria, and my arse hurts SO FLIPPING BAD. I think it may be bruising. Swear I will never ski again.
