The story behind the relationship.

Feeling like a burden is an ass....

I wake up in the infirmary...again. I groan and try to sit up, but Slender stops me.
"Child, you almost died. You can't get up. You have a broken disk in your back, a broken wrist, another broken rib, a punctured lung, and your heart rate is abnormally low." He explains. I groan again and fall back into the bed. Splendor comes in and I smile at him.
"Honey, Offender is gone." He says.
"I don't care." I growl.
"You don't understand. Zalgo took control of him and used him to hurt you, it wasn't his fault. He left because he thought he was gonna hurt you again. He really does love you." He frowns.
"What?! Oh god!" I yell and try to get up but scream in pain. I fall back into the bed and Splendor pats my arm.
"I'll go get him, if you want." He says.
"No! I want to find him in my own. I love him dearly, father. I feel so bad." I sob. He nods and gives me down water. I drink it greedily and he takes the glass from me.
"You'll be able to get up in a few months. We will go find him then." He promises. I nod and smile.
