jenna

after i texted matt, i changed into my pjs.

which was a t-shirt and some cotton shorts.

i hadn't looked at my phone since i sent the text. it was sitting on my bed and the ringer was off.

i took my makeup off, hoping i would be more relaxed.

i threw my makeup wipe in the trash and there was a knock on my door.

i immediately tensed up. my breathing became uneasy as i slowly walked to my door.

i grabbed the bat i had leaning against the wall next to the door.

it was for situations like this.

i didn't bother looking through the peep hole, although i should have.

i held the bat behind my head as if i was standing on home plate ready to hit a ball.

my heartbeat was fast and i could hear it in my ears.

i gripped my bat so tightly, i could feel the wrap molding onto my skin.

i unlocked the door and swung it open.

my bat held high behind my head, as i was so ready to swing.

i gasped when i saw who was standing in my door way.

it was matt.

his eyes went wide when the door swung open and he saw me with my bat, held high and me, in my hitting stance.

i lowered my bat, my eyes as wide as his.

"are you ok?" he asked, worried and rushing instead.

he rushed inside and closed the door.

i dropped my hands and he took the bat from my hand and leaned it back against the wall.

tears welled on my eyes as all the emotions of tonight sat in.

i couldn't help but cry as i realized i almost swung on him.

"oh my god." i sobbed.

he pulled me into his chest, tightly wrapping his arms around my back.

"hey, hey. it's ok... it's ok." he mumbled into my hair.

i didn't know how long he stood there with me in his arms.

after a little while, i was sitting on the couch.

matt walked into the living from the kitchen, with a mug in his hand.

it was filled with peppermint tea.

i made myself a cup every night before going to bed and ended up telling matt that a
while ago.

he handed it to me and i gave a small smile.

i was already tired from crying and i didn't have a lot of energy left.

"you want to tell me what happened?" he asked, softly.

i nodded and ended up telling him everything.

he sighed and ran a hand over his face.

"jenna... why didn't you call me? i could have picked both of you up." his hand was resting on my back, rubbing small circles.

it was so comforting, it almost made me forget about everything.

"because it was only a block away. it's really not a big deal. i didn't want to bother you."

"it is a big deal, jen. and you wouldn't have been a bother. not at all."

i sighed and sipped my tea.

"i'm sorry." i said, quietly.

"you have nothing to be sorry for. at all."

i nodded.

"will you stay tonight?" i asked, hopefully, looking into his eyes.

he expression was soft and caring.

"of course."

i smiled and leaned my head on his chest.

he wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pressed a careful kiss to my forehead.

i felt completely safe.
