“You never need to apologize, Alicia. You know that I want to be there for you. Even if you wake up from a nightmare, but I don’t wake up – please, get me up. You shouldn’t go through any of this alone. I won’t allow it.” Isaac always tried to be the best boyfriend he could. It was especially important to be with Alicia right now, to offer her his own help when she needed it most. Yes, the girl was strong, but the things she went through were not meant for one person to bear alone. “You already know I won’t go back to sleep. If you feel like you need to do something, then I’m going with you. We’re a team, Alicia. When this whole mess started, we were a team. That’s not going to change.” It was obvious that Alicia felt like she was being a burden to him since she had spent so long being upset and sad, but that was not the case. This was exactly what Isaac signed up for. He knew that she was afraid of losing him, too. It was not something Isaac liked to think about. Even though it was impossible to insure that nothing happened to him, Isaac would try.<br/><br/>“We’re together. We’re still breathing. That means something. You should go back to sleep, okay? I’m not going anywhere. You don’t need to be going anywhere right now, either. It’s dark outside – it can wait until tomorrow.” He had seen the letters, so he knew what she was talking about. “I’ve told you, I’m going with you when we figure out where the notes are coming from. You are my entire world, Alicia. After all we’ve been through, there’s no chance I’m letting you out of my sight.” Hopefully, this was enough. Isaac was proving his love for Alicia. It seemed like she needed someone to just be there for her, let her know she was not alone. “I love you, Alicia. I love you with all my heart. I know things feel awful now, but they will get better. They have to. As long as we have each other, there’s always hope for our future.”
