The Only Exception Ch. 07

... when I couldn't handle how much stress I was under. My hands hadn't looked this bad in years. I bit my lip uncertainly and glanced at the diner again. "I can't believe you let me leave the house looking like this! What's he going to think?"

"Seriously? I told you to get ready to leave! You didn't listen so you don't get to blame me for it. Anyways, it's better that he see the truth, don't you think? You look and feel horrible because you're not being honest with him. You want him to spend your heat with you, right? Let him do his damn job."

"No! I don't want him to be burdened by me. He's got a lot going on right now," I argued, remembering how Adam had opened up to me about his mother's health after our morning scene ten days ago.

I'd never seen my boyfriend break down like that before. By the time he got to her telling him she'd like for him to take over the diner before she got too sick to teach him everything, his voice was small and broken. When he finished speaking he sobbed against my shoulder and clung to me like I was his lifeline in the middle of a storm. It was the first time I had ever seen Adam cry. When he later told me that he might be a little busy the next few days but if I needed him to let him know, I vowed to not need him. I couldn't add to his burdens. It was too selfish of me.

"Benjamin! You are important too! Stop acting like you don't matter."

I blushed in response and shook my head. "I should have taken that shower," I told Gabe with a bitter smile.

"Well, it's too late to worry about that now. Like I said, we had a talk and he's waiting for you," my brother encouraged.

Gabe was right. I was entirely to blame for how badly I was doing. I was completely touch starved and it was making me ill. Adam said he loved me. He would care about this, wouldn't he? He said he wanted to spend my heat with me. This was technically part of it. He would want to help right? I had to believe that. Why else would he have told my brother to bring me over?

"Thank you," l finally said as I mentally prepared to get out of the car.

"Don't worry about it and," Gabe let out a pained sigh as he tossed me an overnight bag, "You're free to spend the night.. or more. Momma thinks you'll be with me for a few days so spend as much time with him as you need. Now.. get out of here and take a damn shower!"

I blushed in response to my brother's words but smiled in thanks, clutching the bag close as I obeyed. I slowly made my way to the diner, not having ...
