I was sat by the pool outside of the motels, peacefully reading a book with my feet resting in the water. It was all quiet...until i heard footsteps behind me. Turning my head, i make eye contact with a sobbing Otis Lort. My heart dropped.

I immediately stood up, walking towards my boyfriend, pulling him into my arms. "He- He hit me" he cried, I gently pulled him out of the hug and noticed a red mark on his cheek. I carefully cupped his face and rubbed the sore spot. "Who hit you baby?" I asked as softly as i could. "M-my dad"

I knew Otis's father wasn't the best, and this proved my point. I slowly leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his cheek. The boy closed his eyes and hiccuped every now and then. After a few minutes, Otis and i were sat on the floor, he was in between my legs, head resting on my chest.

I was reading my book to him, resting my head on his curly brunette hair. He was listening carefully, his hands playing with the rings on my fingers, his eyes following the words on the page as they left my mouth. The poor boy didn't deserve whatever he was going through, and every day i remind him that and make sure he knows it.

I put my book down causing Otis to look back at me. "Keep reading, i like you're voice" i smiled at this "Sorry HoneyBoy, I'm just tired" I mumbled, yawning at the end. I heard my boyfriend chuckle a little before standing up, lifting me up in his arms. "Wanna cuddle at mine?" I whispered, knowing my mum and dad wouldn't mind because they loved Otis. He nodded and carried me to my motel.

As soon as we got there, Otis placed me in bed, he got in with me, him being the little spoon. My face went into the crook of his neck, pressing small kisses to his shoulder every now and then. "Otis?" I mumbled, hearing a hum in reply. "I want you to know, that you'll be okay, everything will be okay" I whispered. I felt him grab my hand and squeeze it with a careful and most gentle touch.

"I love you Y/n, you being here just shows that i'll be okay" he murmured and i could tell he was smiling. I rubbed my thumb on his hand before replying "i love you more Otis, i'll always be here"
