Sweet Pea POV:
I held my girlfriend in my arms as she cried into my shoulder. It's a completely heartbreaking sight for me to see, but even worse knowing why she's upset.
"I hate it there" she sobbed into my shoulder.
I held her tighter as I rubbed my hand up and down her back. I dropped a kiss onto her head as I tried to think of what to say, what could make her feel even slightly better.
"I know but you're here with me right now, not with them" I told her softly.
"But I have to go back there" she slightly stuttered out.
"How about you think about it like this. In three months you'll be eighteen and you'll be free" I said.
"Then what? I can't exactly just buy my own place" she said.
"Move in with me" I said and she moved her head out of my shoulder, giving me a confused look.
I've been with Betty for the past two years and she's been having the same family problems. Two parents who don't know how to parent and an entitled brother. She constantly comes to me with her problems and unfortunately, there's not much I can really do, besides from being there for her.
"You haven't even asked your dad, have you?" She asked.
"Not yet, but it's not like he's going to say no" I said and she rested her head in my shoulder again.
"I don't want to go home" she mumbled.
"I know, but we'll be on FaceTime the whole time, it's basically like we're together" I said, wanting to cheer her up.
"I want to be with you" she said. I know this isn't the moment to smile, but I felt really happy that she loves being with me.
I've had girlfriends in the past and I'm not going to get into too many details, but they never wanted me for the reasons that Betty does, love.
"Well maybe we can do something about it" I said.
"What do you mean?" She asked into my shoulder.
"I got you, well I guess us, a present" I said and she dug her head out of my neck as I unwrapped my arms from around her.
I got up from my bed and walked over to the draw of my gaming desk. Earlier today something Betty had been talking about arrived. I got it from some sketchy company but what I got were two wristbands. These wristbands have a touchscreen that you can tap and it'll send a burst of light and a vibration to the other person wearing it.
I walked back to my bed and handed her the box. It came in a white box so I'm not surprised she gave me a confused look.
"Open it my love" I said as she took it out of my hand.
She opened the box and a happy pout formed onto her face when she released what I had gotten.
"You didn't" she smiled.
"I'm just the best boyfriend" I joked, making her laugh.
"You are" she smiled as she wrapped the bracelet around my wrist. I smiled as I dropped a kiss to her head.
"You don't know how much I love you" I smiled as I picked up her wristband and place it around her wrist.
"I love you more" she said and I chuckled.
"Not even close" I smiled.
"We'll ignore how stupid you sound right now, but tap yours" she said excitedly. I chuckled as I tapped my wristband.
We looked to hers and it lit up with a pink, slightly transparent looking heart. She looked up to me with the most gorgeous smile.
"That is so cool" she said and I smiled as I nodded my head.
"Can I tap it whenever I want?" She smiled like a child on Christmas.
"Of course" I said.
"I'm going to make you regret that" she grinned. I playfully shook my head.
"Oh no, you're going to give me too much attention. How will I survive?" I said dramatically.
As she laughed at me I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her onto my chest. I was laying on my back and she was laying on my chest. I smothered her in kisses because how can I help myself, she's the most gorgeous, loving and sweet girl. I'm so lucky to have her and I do truly know that.
"Sweets" she giggled as she embraced all the kisses.
Soon I stopped smothering her in kisses and let her giggles slowly stop.
"Come on, time to get the pretty girl home" I said and she gave me a frown.
"Don't give me that look" I faked an angry look. She let out a sigh and did the same look.
"Cooper, no" I grinned, making her smile.
I stood up and pulled her up with me. We held hands as we walked down the hallway and through the lounge. After she said goodbye to my brother and dad, we headed out to my truck. I'm ready glad the three of them get along, makes me happy knowing that Betty sees my family as hers.
We got into my truck and began heading to her house. I rested my hand on her thigh and she wrapped her arms around mine. I like moments just like this, me and her, simply just enjoying being together.
We soon arrived at her house and she wrapped her arms around my body and hid her head in my chest.
"Let's run away together" she said into my chest. I chuckled as I kissed her head.
"Where would we go, you hate travelling in every sense" I asked her.
"We could go a couple towns away" she said as she rested her chin on my chest and looked up to me. Now that, that is fucking adorable.
"That's not really running away then" I chuckled and she scrunched up her face.
"You're supposed to agree with everything I say" she said and I smirked.
"I can't have you becoming too cocky, I keep you humble" I grinned and she chuckled.
"I love you" I smiled as I caressed her cheek.
"I love you too, make sure to call as soon as you get home" she said and I nodded my head.
"Of course" I smiled.
We talked for a little longer as she tried to prolong her going back home.
Soon she left, after I gave her loads of kisses and I headed back home.
I walked inside and sat in the lounge with my dad who was watching tv.
"Hey" I said as I sat on the opposite end of the couch.
"Hey, what's going on with Betty?" He asked.
"Same problem, new day" I said and he let out a sigh.
"That's why I want to ask you something" I said and he nodded his head, encouraging me to continue.
"When Betty turns eighteen I want her to move in here" I said.
My dad knows of Betty's situation and he completely sympathises for her. He's also told her she's welcome here no matter what. So it's obvious he cares about her.
"I have no problem with that" he said and I smiled.
"Thanks" I said as I got up and headed to my room, knowing that Betty was waiting for my call.
I went into my room and closed the door behind me as I pulled my phone out of my pocket. I went into her contact and pressed FaceTime as I sat on my bed.
She answered quickly as usual and greeted me with her most beautiful smile.
"Hey" she smiled.
She was laying on her bed, scrolling on her phone as she looked up to me. She was on her MacBook, she likes it the most since she doesn't have to hold her phone she tells me.
"Hello beautiful angel" I smiled.
"What took you so long to call?" She asked as she slightly furrowed her eyebrows.
"I was so busy day dreaming about you that I totally forgot" I smirked and she rolled her eyes playfully.
"What a sweetheart" she chuckled.
"I know" I smirked.
"Cocky too" she grinned.
We ended up talking until just after two in the morning. She was tired but was trying to hide it, making me smile. It feels really nice knowing you're loved by the one you love the most.
"I love you too" I said before I hung up and stared at my phone with a smile.
I can't wait until she turns eighteen and I can get her out of her personal hell.
As I continued scrolling on my phone for a little longer, I saw as my wristband flashed, causing an uncontrollable grin on my face.
