Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

15. Thank you

My head hurts like hell!! I slowly opened my eyes, squinting. I feel like shit. I blinked a few times until my blurry sight sharpened. I was laying on the floor next to my couch. I must have fallen off of it. I slowly tried to sit up straight leaning my back against the couch. Everything around me was spinning. I looked down at my legs and arms. I had a few cuts. I fell asleep on the shattered glass of the coffee table. I slowly got up and stumbled towards the bathroom. I sat down in my shower turning it on, not even taking off my, well Roberts' clothes. I don't care. I sat there for I don't know how long.

I heard loud knocking on my door. Probably Robert. I didn't move though. He's the last person I want to see right now. Not because I hate him or something. I just don't want him to see me this way. Or maybe I should let him see me this way. Maybe he'll lose interest in me then. He'll forget about me and move on with his life. I don't deserve a sweet guy like him. I don't deserve anyone.

"Emilia?!"

I opened my eyes. There he was. I just stared at him, not saying anything.

"What happened?! What did you do?!" He sounded really worried.

He turned off the water and grabbed a towel putting it around me. He lifted me up and walked towards my bedroom. He sat me down on the edge of my bed. I just sat there, watching him. He opened my closet. He took out a grey hoodie and black sweat pants. He placed them next to me and started undressing me out of my wet clothes and putting on the dry ones. I just let him. He then crouched down in front of me. He took my small, cold hands into his warm, big ones and kissed them. I finally looked him in his eyes.

I saw sadness in them. Seeing sadness in his eyes broke my heart and I started to cry, really hard. He sat next to me and threw his strong arms around me pulling me really close. I placed my hands on his back, clutching his shirt and burying my head in his neck.

We sat there for quite a long time. I had finally calmed down and released him. He cupped my face in his hands and made me look at him.

"Emilia." He whispered. "You have to tell me."

I let out a big sigh and nodded my head lightly. I couldn't keep it all to myself any longer since I felt so lost right now and he saw me. He saw me like this. I can't make up a lie about what happened yesterday. I'll have to tell him. I trust him.

"His name is Killian. The person who called yesterday. He's my brother. Not my real brother though. I was adopted... when I was 13... b-because..." This is so freaking hard! How will I be able to tell him everything?

"It's ok, take your time. I'm not going anywhere." He kissed my forehead. I took a deep breath and continued.

"I was adopted at the age of 13 because my family died."

"I'm so sorry." He whispered. I shook my head.

"Their death is not the problem right now. It's my adoption family. Marcus, my adoption father, over dosed."

"I'm sor-" He started but I cut in. "NO!!! Don't be!! He's not worth it. He was a fucking bastard. He was evil, pure evil! It's because of him and Veronica, my adoption mother, that I got hooked. I got hooked at the age of 14 to a handful of drugs!!!" I jumped up and walked towards my desk, grabbed the lamp and threw it at the wall. I felt Robert put his arms around me and hold me hard so I couldn't move. I felt so angry! Every time I think about them, I lose control.

"Calm down.." He whispered and I did. His presence makes me wanting to control myself.

"Veronica got arrested, for illegal drug possession when the cops searched their place after they found Marcus dead on the doorstep. Killian, that fucking junkie, asked me to bail her out and to give Marcus a funeral. I couldn't care less about them." I turned facing Robert.

"They drugged me, they abused me and now they're expecting me to help them?! Why the fuck should I?! They're not my family! They never were and they never will be! They didn't do shit for me. All they did was fuck up everything about me!"

"Fuck them..." He said in a serious tone. "Forget about them. You don't have to do shit for them. They don't deserve your kindness Emilia. Veronica deserves to be in prison and it's for the best that Marcus is gone now, so just forget about them."

I sighed. "I tried that Robert. Many times, but they always end up finding me. I can't get rid of them. I moved across the country, away from them. I've changed my number a thousand times but they always, always find out a way to contact me. I'm their slave and a slave has to be released by their masters before we are completely free, but they'll never let me go."

"Did you try going to the police?"

"I can't. Veronica and Killian have a lot of shit on me. If I were to ever expose them, they'll bring me down with them. You have no idea about the things I did Robert and I don't want you to know. Please respect that."

He slightly nodded, looked very serious at me.

I sat back down on my bed and let out a huge sigh. That was really hard, telling him all that but I felt a bit of relief. I don't regret telling him that I used to be addicted because I know he used to be like that too. He came to sit right next to me, putting an arm around my shoulder and placed his forehead on my shoulder.

"Thank you, Emilia. Thank you for telling me. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for letting me help you. Thank you for making me laugh so much. Thank you for kissing me. Thank you so, so much Emilia. But the thing I'm most grateful for... Thank you for bumping into me the day we first met." His voice cracked at the end. A smile appeared on my face. I suddenly can't imagine a life without him. I need him.

I put my arms around his neck and hugged him close to me. I placed my head on his chest, listening to his heart. His heart, the most beautiful thing about him. He kissed my head and slowly laid down on his back, still holding me. I closed my eyes, listening to his heart and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
