(Tate LangdonxOC)This is a song inspired one shot, in which I use parts of a song in the story that relate to what's going on.
Song: Whispers in the Dark by Skillet
WARNING: this one shot contains self harm, I know from experience that reading material like this could be a trigger, and if that is the case, I promise not all the one shots will have this theme. So please keep checking in :)
Despite the lies that you're making, you're love is mine for the taking
my love is just waiting to turn your tears to roses
He watched as she drifted away from reality, every cut deeper than the last. She remained unaware of his presence as he hid in the shadows. He'd been watching her, fascinated by her, since the day her family moved in. But he had kept his distance, a bigger struggle than he first imagined. She hissed when she went too deep, and he flinched at the sound. At this rate, she'd be dead by morning, and he wasn't about to let that happen.
I'll be the one who's gonna hold you, I'll be the one that you run to
my love is a burning consuming fire
"Stop." his voice rang out, and the girl spun on her heel. "Wh-who's there?" He appeared before her, a smile smearing his features. She gasped backing into the sink, "Who are you?" she demanded, her voice cracking at the end. He moved closer, tilting his head to the side. "Hi, I'm Tate." he greeted with a wide grin, holding his hand out to her enthusiastically. She shook his hand hesitantly, "Do I know you?" His smile faltered and he leaned in, closing the gap between them. "You will," was his reply before he held up her wrist, "Never again. You got me now. Okay?" She looked at him for a long while before whispering out one word:
"Okay."
Now you'll never be alone, when darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
hear the whispers in the dark
