Merder mafia ✔️

35

I waited hours for her to wake up. I sat next to her on the bed. I felt the side of the bed move a bit, I turned to look at her when she turned over in bed, facing me.

I laid down next to her, brushing the hair from her face that was now dirty. she slowly opened her eyes. she looked at me and her eyes immediately filled with tears when she saw me. she put her arms through the sleeves and hugged me.

I pulled her into my lap and carefully wrapped her arms around my neck as I gently wrapped my arms around her waist while she sobbed into her shoulder.

I rubbed her back soothingly. after she had calmed down a bit, she pulled away and put her face into the crook of my neck.

"do you wanna take a warm bath? I can go run you one" I said softly, rubbing her arm.

"where's Greyson?" she whispered.

" he's downstairs with my parents, you don't have to worry about him, you can see him when you're ready," I told her. she nodded.

"you want me to go get the bath ready?" I asked again. she nodded.

"do you want to stay here?" I asked, her eyes started to water.

"Can I come with you?" she said in a shaken voice.

" of course" I picked her up and carried her into the bathroom, I set her down on the toilet cover and went to start the bath.

I walked over to the bath. I turned on the tap, putting my hand under it until it was warm. I plugged the tub and waited until it filled. I stood up as the tub filled. I turned around to look at Meredith. she was staring blankly at the tub.

I walked over to where she was sitting. I kneeled down on the floor. she l turned to look at me then looked back at the floor.

"Can I take this off?" I asked referring to the coat.

she nodded slowly. I gently grabbed her legs to turn her towards me and started unbuttoning the coat. I was about to push the coat off her shoulders before she pulled away and looked at the door.

"what is it?" I asked.

"close the door," she said and closed the coat.

she used to walk around the house naked now she's asking me to close the bathroom door in case someone walks into the bedroom even though nobody ever does.

I stood up and closed the door, locking it. I walked to the tub, turning it off. I walked back over to her and slowly pushed the coat off her shoulders. I let it drop to the floor. when the coat dropped she closed her legs and put her arms over her chest, covering her breasts.

"it's okay, I'm not going to touch you anywhere. I'm just going to carry you to the tub, okay?" I said softly.

"do you have to work today?" she asked, looking down.

"No, I'm staying with you for as long as you want"

"can you take a bath with me?" she asked.

"Are you okay with that?" I asked. she nodded.

"then yes, I'll take a bath with you"

I stepped back a bit. I took off my shirt, my pants, then my boxers. I walked back over to her. she was still looking down.

I gently picked her up. she wrapped her arms around my waist. I carried her to the tub. I carefully placed her in the tub before getting in behind her. when she felt behind her she leaned back as I wrapped my arms around her waist.

she laid the side of her head on my chest. I grabbed her body wash and a washcloth, then got the cloth wet. I squeezed some of the body wash onto the washcloth. I rubbed the cloth over her arms, then her stomach. she snuggled her face further into the crease of my neck.

I ran the cloth over her stomach making her wince a bit.

"it's okay, I'm just going to wash you" I kissed her cheek. she nodded.

I washed over the rest of her body. her hair, and her face, making sure not to hurt any of her cuts or bruises. after I finished washing her I helped her out of the tub. I wrapped her in a fluffy towel before drying her hair with a towel after I put on a pair of sweatpants.

I brought her back into the bedroom. I got her some more pillows and a few more blankets. I tucked her in, making sure she was comfortable. I grabbed a first-aid kit. I got in next to her, cleaned her wounds and put some stitches in her cuts.

"there, do you wanna go to the hospital? get your leg checked out?" I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her close.

"No, I wanna stay here" she whispered, laying her head down on my chest.

"do you want to try and get some sleep?" I picked up her hairbrush, gently running it through her hair.

"mm-hmm" she hummed.

I brushed the rest of her hair until it was smooth and untangled. I helped her get comfortable in bed and held her until she fell asleep.
