Chapter 20 | Tell me

I told Aaron what happened after I left Father Frost's house. He let out a sigh "it's ok. I'm here for you." Aaron soon started playing eternity on his guitar. I relaxed and listened to his music. "Thank you." I said quietly. Aaron soon started telling me encouraging words and quotes. He continued telling me sweet nothings as I let his calm relaxed voice take me away in the song his guitar was playing for me. I listened closely to how he played, the sound the guitar made when he moved the strings. I could imagine him playing the guitar in front of me telling me sweet nothings quietly. I could imagine him running his fingers through my hair. I miss him already, I wanted to do so much more with him and yet I didn't while I had the chance. "I love you." I said quietly without thinking. I let the emotions carry me carefully in the river of relaxation. A few tears escaped my eyes as I smiled and thought of Aaron. I wanted to feel his warm embrace wrap around my body. "I wish you where here..." I said softly. "I wish I could be beside you right now." He told me. I smiled as he spoke. I took a deep shaky breath. "I love you." I said once again. "I love you too." Aaron replied.  After a little while of listening to Aaron talk and whisper sweet nothings I fall asleep. When I woke up I was still on the floor in my room. I rubbed my eyes soon hearing the door open shortly after. I yawned and try to see straight, right now everything is blurry. I quickly snap into reality when I feel a sharp sting on my cheek. It took me two seconds to realize I was slapped by my father. "Who the fuck where you talking to last night?" He demanded. I felt a few tears fall. "I'm sorry." I said through tears. He just stared at me, he looked concerned "I'm sorry." I said again. I repeatedly said "I'm sorry" over and over again until I was screaming the words "I'm sorry." I soon stopped and just whispered "I'm sorry." One last time before breaking down completely and curled into a crying ball on the floor. I whimpered and hiccuped. "E-Ein?" My dad said sounding concerned. Before I knew it I blacked out and woke up in a white room. I rubbed my eyes as I sat up. I realize I was in a hospital. I saw my father through the glass talking with a lady. It was muffled but I tried my best to listen in. "Do you know why he might have acted this way?" The girl asked my father who shook his head. "No, he hasn't acted like this before." My father replied. "Has he had any emotional breakdowns at all?" The lady said. "Not that I'm aware of no." The girl kept asking questions before entering my room with my father. "Is there something wrong with me?" I asked. She looked at me concerned. "Honey, there is nothing wrong with you." She told me. The girl was a meif'wa with blond hair and cream coloured ears. "Are you sure?" I asked "the only thing that we found with you was post traumatic stress disorder." She told me "that's normal for abused victims, can you tell us who's been hurting you?" She asked "nobody is." I replied. "Honey please, we can't help you if you don't tell us who hit you." I remember I was slapped and heavily abused before getting here. I just stayed quiet. She sighed "it's alright, you don't have to talk about it right now. That just means you have to stay here until we find out, alright?" I nodded my head. "Who did that sweetheart?" She asked pointing to my arm. The bandages I normally use to hide the scars aren't there anymore. "I-I did..." I answered. "Why?" She asked with pity in her voice. "I didn't like it..." I said starting to cry. "Shh, honey it's alright. Do you want some space? We can leave if you want." She asked me. I shook my head no "I want Aaron." I replied. "We can find Aaron's number in your phone and call him if you'd like." She replied. I nodded. I gave her Aaron's number and she left to call him. My father was removed from the room after she left. I whimpered and cried in my bed. "I'm sorry...." I said one last time before crying myself to sleep once more. When I woke up I saw Aaron, a woman and a man dressed nicely and a girl also dressed nicely. I slowly got up as Aaron and the other people walked in. I reached out my arms for him, he leaned in and gave me a hug. "You ok?" He whispered into my ear. I shook my head no. I whimpered into his arms as he ran his fingers through my hair. He continued playing with my hair. "Shh, it's ok." He shushed me slowly rubbing my back. I leaned into the warmth of my boyfriend's loving arms. I didn't care about all the other people in the room right now, all that matters is me and Aaron I secretly gave Aaron a little kiss on his neck. I was already snuggling him in a position that won't make it obvious I kissed him. "I love you." I whispered underneath my breath making sure nobody but Aaron could hear. He let me snuggled him for a little more until he pulled back. "Are you ok now?" He asked, I nodded slowly. "Can you tell me what happened?" I shook my head. "Why not?" He asked. I leaned in close to him "I don't wanna talk while their here." He said slightly pointing to the other people. "Can you guys leave for a bit?" Aaron asked the other people. After they talked for a bit they all left so it was just me and Aaron. "Now can you tell me why you're here? You scared the living hell out of me when I heard you where in the hospital and I think I deserve to know what happened." He said. "My father slapped me again..." I told him while cuddling into his arms. Aaron sighed "Ein, this is the last time I'm letting something like this happen. I'm calling the cops." Once those words left his mouth I grabbed onto him. "No!" I yelled at him. "Please! I-If he knows I told you he'll beat me again, A-Aaron please!" I begged through tears and sobs. Aaron was shocked "shh, Ein calm down. If it bothers you that much I won't tell anyone." He told me running his hands through my hair. I snuggled up with him on the bed and held him close before falling asleep once again. Why do I keep crying myself to sleep today? Whatever, all that matters is Aaron is here. I'm safe now, Aaron will protect me from him.
