it was a peaceful night for everyone, all except for zuzy. that night she couldn't sleep for an unknown reason, so naturally as an 8-year-old, she went to her mum's room.
*zizzy's door creaks open*
"Mum?" asked zuzy "what's wrong,zuzy? shouldn't you be in bed, asleep?" replied zizzy. "yeah, uh I couldn't sleep." "oh my, are you ok, sweetie? are you sick? come here to me" said zizzy patting on her bed, signalling Zuzy to come. "I'm fine, I just couldn't sleep for no reason." said zuzy "that's ok, I mean I can't sleep all the time, haha"chuckled zizzy softly, causing zuzy to giggle. "anyway, wanna sleep with me?" asked zizzy. "sure, but I have some questions" replied zuzy "go ahead,zuzy".
"what happened to our mum and dad in the past?" asked zuzy. those words hit zizzy like a dagger in her heart, suddenly all of the blurry memories of the past became as clear as day but a cloudy one, they were still blurry but clear enough for Zuzy's older sister to have a scared look on her face. "mum? are you there?" zuzy's words snapped zizzy out of her memories.
"well, sweetheart, they aren't our parents anymore, not anymore, not after what they did to me..." replied zizzy in a softer tone, sounding like a whisper to herself. "what do you mean, mum? what did they do to you?" asked zuzy
" The-they... they hurt me in more than one way, I saw them getting arrested when you and zee were only 2 months old while I was 14. the-they left me alone, they used to beat me for no reason, I used to go to school with blood on my face and bruises still on me..." whispered zizzy to herself, but loud enough for zuzy to hear the reason why. "s-so you raised us?" zuzy said in the same tone as zizzy, zizzy nods slowly. "o-oh, you raised us all this time? you and ?" "me and your father, pony. he was the only one there for me, through all the pain and suffering I went through. we promised that you guys wouldn't go through the same thing I did" replied zizzy, holding back her tears til...
*zizzy's door creaks again*
"zizzy?" said pony, his head through the open door. "Pony? what are you doing here?" zizzy questioned her lover. "can we talk? outside?"asked pony "o-ok, zuzy wait here." said zizzy in a almost-crying-but yet-commanding voice
*outside zizzy's room"
"what do you want pony?" said zizzy. "you haven't came in my room yet, thought you had a breakdown" explained pony "I'm on the verge of one". "why? what happened? why is zuzy in your room?" "she couldn't sleep, possibly cause of the questions in her head". "what questions, zizzy?" "*deep inhale* a-about them, I answered all of them though so don't worry" explained zizzy, avoiding eye contact with him, he had a stern yet worried look on his face; he's seen what she's been through and knows that it's a triggering subject for her, so if anyone asks her, he always answers on behalf of her. but not this time, this time she went ahead and almost triggered herself a panic attack just so she can answer her younger sister.
how irresponsible, he thought. "you should know better than to almost trigger a panic attack, zizzy" said pony. "I know.." replied zizzy "anyway, I should go back to zuzy now-" "no, you and zuzy are gonna sleep with me in my room, and this is NOT negotiable" interrupted pony "*exhale* fine... let me get zuzy then"
*back in zizzy's room*
"zuzy, come on, we're going to pony's room" said zizzy, getting no reply from her her younger sister. "zuzy?" zizzy finds zuzy asleep on her bed, suddenly feeling two hands around her waist, turning around in shock to find pony behind her. "weirdo" whispered zizzy, softly hitting him on the head. "ow, anyway I'll carry her" said pony, resting his head on her shoulder.
*let's time skip to when they reach his room*
"*places zuzy on his bed* here we are, now tell me zizzy, what did you exactly tell zuzy?" asked pony. "you want to know all of it?" replied zizzy "yes, everything you told her, tell me".
"I told her that they hurt me in more than one way, I saw them getting arrested when she and zee were only like 2 months old while I was 14. the-they left me alone, they used to beat me for no reason, I used to go to school with blood on my face and bruises still on me, that's it. that's all that I told her..." explained zizzy, with tears in her eyes about to fall while trying to contain her tears. "let them fall, zizzy, just cry it's ok, I'm here..." said pony in a soft voice, assuring her that she's ok. so she did what he told her to do, she let them fall, every single one had it's turn to fall from her eyes. the room was silent, the only thing you could hear are zizzy's sniffles. (A/N: I feel like I should say that they're sitting on the floor and in front of each other while zuzy's on his bed, before you ask, yes this is vital information) pony got up, moved zuzy slightly and went to zizzy, carried her, placed her on his bed (A/N: zuzy's in the middle) and cuddled her to sleep.
"I love you,zizzy."
(A/N:hey,Tommy here. I put family line by Conan Gray cause I think it symbolises zizzy and her parents, anyway you can listen to it while reading or read first then listen and visualise idk. bye :) )
