Lilac's Pov

The next morning, I woke up, laying in a bed. All I knew was that this bed was not Aiden's bed. Everything felt surreal. It felt like I was standing next to my body; out of place.

My body was sore, weak and I felt like throwing up. I stood up walking in the direction of the bathroom. As I entered the bathroom, I just saw my reflection in the mirror and I gasped. 

I looked like a mess. My skin was pale and I had dark circles under my eyes. Scars were covering my whole body. I hated myself more than ever. Pain was all I was able to feel, I don't feel alive anymore. I couldn't live with myself. I can't, I just can't.

What about those bad memories that will pop up in my head every time I sleep, every time I will close my eyes, every fucking time I will look at myself. I took the razor that was laying there and held it onto my wrist. I just couldn't live with myself. 

I was ready to cut as the door swung open.

"LILAC NO DON'T" was all Alex screamed, running to me.

He grabbed me and the razor fell to the ground. Alex held me close to his chest stroking my hair, but I didn't respond.

"LILAC, DON'T YOU DARE TRY THAT AGAIN! TALK TO ME!" he said desperately. 

I just couldn't hold back the tears anymore and began to cry and sob uncontrollably.

"Hey angel it's okay everything you have been through; we will figure it out. Just talk to me." he said in a soothing voice, grabbing my face now and looking into my eyes. 

For the first time since I met him, I saw something like an emotion in his eyes. Those beautiful ice cold blue eyes seem warm this time. 

I still cried looking into his eyes, but I didn't respond. Someone like me is not allowed to talk back or do whatever they want. What if Alex hurts me like Aiden?

"Lilac look at me!" Alex said shaking my head gently bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Hey Lilac come on, you have been through a lot I know that, but this is not the fucking way out."

"I-I'm s-sorry A-Aid- I mean Alex"

"FUCK LILAC I'M NOT LIKE AIDEN, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE THINKING!" I just cried, I was so scared.

"LILAC DON'T CRY. STOP CRYING LILAC!" he screamed. I was so overwhelmed and scared that I began to shake uncontrollably. My breathing became ragged and my head was spinning.

"Hey shh, shh, shh. Lilac I'm here it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you." he said as he hugged me again.

He was stroking my hair gently.

"I didn't mean to overwhelm you, it's okay I'm here I won't let anything happen to you."

And then I slowly began to calm down.
