Prologue
Slowly, he intertwined his fingers with hers, trying to comfort her in the only way he seemed able to do. Without any surprise, she gripped firmly his hand back without sending him a glance. He wanted to tell her everything would be fine, but he knew it wasn't that simple.
Tears fell down her cheeks, and he looked at them fall, like rain pouring on a cold evening. Sweetly, he wiped one that had reached her neck and put his free arm around her. She let go of his hand so he could embrace her and she grabbed his arms to feel him closer to her. She was clinging to him like a buoy sent to her in a storm.
He didn't dare to move and remained in the same postition as she sobbed in his arms. He wanted to ask her why, and what had happened to cause her all this pain, but it didn't feel it was the right time. She had been through so much already, and didn't deserve more pain. If he could, he'd take it, so she could free herself from being hurt once again.
"You can stay for the night." he whispered in her ear.
She only nodded and lied down slowly. As he put the covers over her, he sweetly kissed her cheek, his lips brushing her soft skin.
"Don't go." she said, her voice barely audible.
"I'm not leaving."
He had no idea where he could go anyway. His apartment was small and consisted on one simple room and a bathroom. He had placed folding screens on some spots to delimit the rooms he didn't have and although he knew he could check on her no matter where he'd be, he wanted to stay by her side.
"Are you going to tell me what happened to you?"
After learning about her father's cancer, she had changed, and although he loved her just as much, he had no idea how to react. It was not the first time she came to his place in the middle of the night, her make up running on her face as water colored her cheeks. And he accepted it, although she didn't really explain anything to him.
"It's all my fault." she said, shaking her head from left to right. "I shouldn't have... I should have said no."
At first, he though she was talking about her father's illness, but her last words made him feel like his heart contracted in his chest.
"He..."
But she stopped herself and dived her face in the pillow. He knew everything, he felt it. Her boyfriend had done something terribly wrong, and the hatred he already felt towards him increased inside of him.
He lied down behind her and put his arm around her waist, bringing her closer as she kept crying. With the hug, she seemed to calm down a little. He has no idea how long he stayed motionless, but after a while, he heard her breath louder, and slower, telling him she had fallen asleep.
And he stared at her, fondling her arm, and caressing her hair until he had a hard time to keep his eyes open, and somehow, before to fall asleep, he managed to hope it would stop raining in his mind.
