Slave To The Rhythm ~MJ Fanfic~

Chapter 25

*Michael's P.O.V.* (I figured that it would be more intense if Michael's P.O.V. was in this type of situation ^_^)

"Breanna! What are you doing!" I shout as she jumps and looks at me with eyes filled with sorrow and hurt. I run to her and grab a wash cloth to put pressure on the wounds. "I-I n-need to die M-Michael" I looked at her with wide eyes "Michael let me go. No one needs me. Why stay?" She says crying, pulling her wrist away, wincing at the pain it caused. "Breanna don't say that. If no one needs you, then why is the same rings on our fingers? Does that even matter to you? Do you know how much I love you? Do you know that if you go away, I would too? I need you so much Breanna. If you go, I go. It's all for love and I can't live without you!" I say tilting her chin up to look at me.

She breaks down in my arms. I wrap my arms tightly around her, still putting pressure on her wrist. "Baby?" She looks up at me and say "Yes?" I look down and see the cloth soaked with blood. I could barley hold back my tears as one of them roll down my cheek. "W-why did you do this? I didn't even think you would do such a thing to your beautiful body." She looks down in shame and says "I-it was the only way to make all the pain go away, to make me numb." I look away crying as she looks at me and takes her good hand to wipe my tears away. "Breanna, you have to make a promise to me"

She looks up and says "What is it?" "You have to promise me to not ever do this again. You are way to beautiful and loved for you to be doing this to yourself." She widens her eyes and shakes her head 'no' "I-I can't I need to. It's the only answer to my problems. I need it!" she says as I get ready to throw the blade away. I put it in the garbage as she wiggles in my arms, trying to stop me from throwing it away. "Listen Breanna! I am always here to help you with your problems. You don't need a razor to take away your pain. All you need is me, and other people who love you dearly. Just because that takes away your pain doesn't mean that it's safe for you. Don't you want kids in the near future?"

She cries and nods her head 'yes' "Me, I would love to give you kids. I will always be here for you Breanna." She cries more as I pull her into my chest as she sobs. "Gosh I love you so much. I want you to see that." She calms down and her cries has become a lot less frequent. I look down and smile as I see that she had fallen asleep in my arms. I get a bandage and some Neosporin to help heal. I carefully wrapped her cuts without waking her up and I got up, carrying her into the bedroom and set her on the bed, tucking her in. I get in on the other side and cover up as I cuddle up to her side as she sleeps.

In the middle of the night, she started tossing and turning, as she started to sweat. She was having a bad dream and I couldn't wake her up. I sit up quickly and pull her near. "Breanna. Please wake up baby. It's just a nightmare. Please wake up" I say as I shook her lightly to wake her up. She jumped and her eyes shot open with a scream coming from her. I jump at that and I pull her into a hug. I could feel her heart racing and her breathing was very quick.

"It was only a dream babygirl" I say to her, holding her head against me and my chin on top of hers. "Do you want to talk about it?" I ask her, still holding her close. She started to shake and she said "I-I was being b-beaten by J-Joseph" she said in a shaky voice as she cried into my shoulder. "Babygirl I would never let that happen to you. You know that?" She nods and hugs me tighter as I started rocking her. She sighed as I kissed her forehead and started to lay back down. "Just think" I say smirking as we position ourselves in the bed to get comfortable. "We will be married in a couple weeks." She giggles and looks up at me.

"Thank you for everything Michael. You truly are a hero." I smile and kiss her lips softly. She smiles and pulls back. She lays her head on my chest and drifts off to sleep again, hoping to dream about something happier this time. I smile at her, wondering what she was dreaming when she finally fell asleep in my arms. I found myself drifting off to sleep too as I watch her sleep peacefully. I wake up to Breanna still on my chest, but that wasn't the cutest thing. She was smiling in her sleep as she dreams of god knows what. I lay there for about 10 more minutes until she wakes up to see me looking at her. She smiles and kisses my cheek.

I blush and say "Had a nice dream?" She furrows her eyebrows and asked "Why?" I smile wide and say "You were smiling in your sleep hun!" She blushes a deep red as she hides her face in the blankets. I giggle and kiss her head. I rub her back softly as I started singing "Smile" to her. "Michael?" she asked in the middle of my singing. "Yes?" "Are you mad at me about last night?" she asked me and I furrow my eyebrows "Of course not, sweetheart. I was upset and shocked, but no I wasn't mad. You just have to promise me that you'll never do it again." She smiles and says "I promise!" I giggle and hold my pinkie up, asking for a pinkie promise. She giggles and hooks her pinkie with mine. I smile and kiss her softly.
