CW: TRAUMA, SA, ABUSE AND PANIC ATTACKS!!!! GET READY FOR THIS Y'ALL! DW IT'S A WAY OF OPENING UP TO RHEA!

After your dress shopping you took everyone out for some food before dropping them off at their hotels, Mileena was coming home with you because she couldn't afford a hotel and you had a spare room, you didn't mind her staying but after seeing that dress you kept on remembering your relationship with E/N and no matter what you couldn't stop thinking about it. Rhea immediately noticed something was wrong, she didn't address it until the morning though. She walked into the kitchen to find you mixing up your overnight oats, she moved over to the cooker and began to turn the heat on. you passed her the eggs knowing that's exactly what she was looking for "thanks" she stopped you from leaving the room.

Y/N pov:

I turned around with rhea pulling on my arm. I looked directly at her and she motioned for me to sit down, I shook my head at her "Sit." she said with a stern expression. "what?" I said to her while sitting down. "what's up with you?" she asked me with a slightly concerned look "noth-" "don't lie, I could tell the second you walked through the front door yesterday, something has been bothering you, what is it?" she said holding my hand and sitting down next to me. And just like that I began to zone-out again.

*Flashback*

I was cleaning the kitchen up when E/N snuck behind me and grabbed me by my waist, startling me a little. He attacked my neck with kisses and moved his hands over my waist, then he felt it, a small kick coming from our child "what was that?" he asked pulling away and turning me to face him. I smiled slightly "I didn't know how to tell you, baby I'm pregnant" he looked down at me with a look I had never seen before, it made me uneasy about telling him. "H-how far along.." he asked me, I could sense his anger "HOW FAR ALONG!" his voice becoming louder as he became more impatient "t-two months." I replied looking down. "Are you fucking serious! WHY'D YOU KEEP IT!" he said moving away from me "I- I thought that you'd be happy." tears began to well up in my eyes. "WE'RE BARELY ADULTS! HOW THE HELL DO YOU EXPECT ME TO RAISE A KID." I was enraged by this sentence "what so we're old enough to get married but not to start a family now!" I said my voice getting quieter as her turned to look at me "Watch your mouth" he said inching closer to me I closed my eyes to stop tears from falling, I looked down and he lifted my head back up and pushed me against the counter. He began to touch me in ways that made me uncomfortable but I jut froze, "you know I love you, but, I want it gone." he said pointing to my stomach, he kissed me harshly and then-

*back to reality*

"Y/N!" rhea said snapping me back to reality. she cupped my face and wiped the tear that rolled down my cheek, "you wanna explain what just happened?" her voice soft and comforting, her touch light and gentle, she wanted me to feel safe. I looked back at her and tried my best to remember what had happened afterwards. I first told her about what I had just remembered and then moved on to explain what happened next "he lay his hands on me, at this time I was small and weak, I knew there was no point in fighting him, so I just... let him" she looked away for a moment "love that's assault, you can get him arrested" she said in a more serious tone, I shook my head at her, "no point I already tried." i then continued what I was saying

*Flashback* (everything happening now you are telling Rhea) 

it had been 5 days since E/N found out about my pregnancy and everyday he had been hitting me for everyday I was letting the baby grow, I had spoken to the abortion clinic and I was fitted in for a slot at 5:30pm later today. I had caked my body and face in makeup to hide the bruises that had formed, I knew what would happen if anyone saw them and I wasn't willing to suffer the consequences. E/N had turned to alcohol which only made is temper worse but it was the only thing keeping him occupied. I kept my distance as to avoid anything happening.  3:00pm rolled around and I got a call from the clinic, they had to post-pone my appointment for a week due to emergency repairs from flooding. I couldn't wait that long, neither could he. Immediately he knew what I was going to say. he was pissed and he took his anger out on me, he attacked me and repeatedly punched my stomach until I began to bleed, then I knew, he killed our child, I fell this burst of anger and I had just enough force to shove him off of me and get away. i drove off and called the first person who came to mind, Nikki A.S.H. She found me and from then on I lived with her until I had enough to buy my own place

*reality*

"and that brings us to now. I did press charges but he was let off on probation and house arrest."  Rhea pulled me into a hug and rocked back and fourth with me as I cried in her arms. She was being genuine with every word she spoke "you have no idea how sorry I feel that you had to go through that. I love you so much, you never have to go through that again. I'll keep you safe, I promise" It put a smile on my face and she laughed at how red my face was. We sat and talked for the rest of the day, watching movies and spending time with Mileena before helping her pack and dropping her off at the airport. We got home at around 9:30pm, Aspen was in her room getting ready for bed and Amaya had been asleep for an hour. We finished our movie which brought us through to 11:00pm before going to bed. We talked in bed for a bit before nodding off, me laying on rheas chest and rhea holding me tight, refusing to let go.
