Carrie suddenly woke up in the middle of the night not feeling her husband next to her she wondered for a minute where he could be, she heard a couch from outside due to the window being open, she got out of bed and made her way downstairs.Seeing no lights on she walked a little further into the room and heard the couch again. She quickly walked to the front door to open it and saw Harrison sitting outside.
" what are you doing here " she asked but he didn't look at her and kept looking at the sky.
" i couldn't sleep, i can never sleep " he said as Carrie sat down next to him on the front porch steps
" what are talking about " she asked taking his hand in hers
" i have been trying to hide this from you ever since i got back from France, Im sorry Carrie " he said hugging her as a few tears escaped
" for what, what did you do "
" Its not what i did it's what's happening "
" tell me " she said looking back at him and holding his head in her hands
" I've been having those nightmares ever since im back and i just don't know what to do, and i don't wanna bother you with this because...."
" because what I'm your wife if one of us has a problem we face it together, how bad are the nightmares "
" there bad but i was so scared to tell you anything " he said his voice shacking as he cried " Im sorry cause i lied to you "
" about what " she asked whipping his tears with her thumb
" the reason i went back they didn't call me back i wanted to go, and i always told you i was ok but I'm not. I tried hiding this from you and i was stupid "
Carrie just stared at him she couldn't speak right now.
" you're mad at me aren't you " he asked as her hands dropped. " you can yell at me cause i can see you're mad "
" no I'm not but why would you wanna leave us " she asked crying a little herself now
" i didn't wanna leave you and the boys but i wanted to go back, i felt like i had too "
" are there other things you're not telling me "
" no, that's it " he said taking her hand now needing to touch her
" how long have i been sleeping alone at night "
" almost every night, then before the sun comes up i go back to bed "
" aren't you happy here " she ask softly not looking at him anymore
" i am but after all that happened with my parents my father i had to get away from it all "
" why do you never talk to me, i could have helped you.. you know that right "
" yeah i do " he said with sigh and got up
" where are you going " she asked catching up to him
He turned around and took her in his arms tightly. She sigh into his embrace and closed her eyes " i would never hurt you Carrie "
" you never hurt me " she said raising her head where it lay on his chest
" i have and I'm sorry and i want you to help me, your the only person that can "
" what do you want me to do " she asked as his hand cupped her cheek and tears formed in his eyes
" i want you to tell me that ill be alright "
