You cannot save people, you can only love them

Peter.
I smiled,"Oh it's real alright. I had you screaming my name,"I murmured into her ear and then chuckled. She was back in my arms an we were both better. We weren't sick anymore, we won't fight anymore.. Well at least really harsh fights.

Aspen,
I bit my lip to keep from smiling. I pulled myself as close to him as possible, "Don't ever leave me again," I whispered. The first couple months...they were extremely difficult.

[lauren.]

Peter.
"I won't,"I said kissing the top of her head. "We didn't really get to talk about it much.. But how were you? During the process?"I asked as my fingers gently stroked her arm. I had nightmares at night that she would end up hurting herself and my nurse wouldn't let me call Aspen to make sure she was okay.

[haileyjordan]

Aspen,
I looked at him, "It was really hard, extremely hard at first. I never realized how much I needed you until you weren't there," I said softly. I left out the part where I slipped up, going about two weeks non-stop smoking. I was able to get ahold of myself as stop, but he didn't know that.

Peter.
I looked down into her eyes, seeing the panic just talking about it. I lifted my hand caressing her face,"I'm sorry. I wish it wouldn't have gotten that far,"I said kissing her lips.

[haileyjordan]

Aspen,
I smiled softly, "Don't be sorry Peter. It needed to be done, it's okay. I'm okay," I reassured him. "We just need to make sure it never happens again," I whispered, running my hands through his hair.

[lauren.]

Peter.
"But I should be sorry sweetheart. I physically hurt you and I shouldn't be doing that,"I said sighing softly.

[haileyjordan]

Aspen,
I frowned slightly, "I don't want to think about that right now. I just want to love you," I said, running my hands down his chest. "I've just missed you so much." I couldn't even explain how much I had missed him. It was like half of me was back, and it felt so good.

[lauren.]

Peter.
I smiled as I hugged her tightly, then began to tickle her,"Are you sure about that?"I said laughing. I was beyond happy to just be back in the presence of Aspen.

[haileyjordan]

Aspen,
I began to laugh like crazy, trying to hold my sides . He knew tickling was my weakness. "Peter!" I exclaimed through my laughs. "Not fair!" Yes, I had definitely missed this.

[lauren.]

Peter.
I smirked as I continued to tickle her,"You should really not walk around the house naked, Aspen,"I said chuckling as I got up off the couch, snatching the blanket with me.

[haileyjordan]

Aspen,
"Hey!" I giggled, "You know you like it anyways." I smiled as I watched him. "This is an unfair game that you are playing." I said, folding my arms as I pouted, trying not to smile.

[lauren.]

Peter.
I smirked,"Well of course I like it, that's why I took the blanket away,"I said my eyes looking over her body. I winked at her,"Plus, I don't see a game being played here at all,"I said.

[haileyjordan]

Aspen,
I smiled and rolled my eyes, "Of course you don't, because you're the one who started it. Don't play dumb with me," I said with a small giggle, "I'm mad at you now anyways," I said, crossing my arms as I pretended to look upset.

[lauren.]

Peter.
I pouted my lips as I pulled my boxers on and handed her my shirt,"Don't be mad at me,"I said kissing her lips with a smile.
