Chapter Thirteen(Thale): I'm not a good person

Bee, a mere elven witch, tried to kill themself today. They had just hung themself in their closet. And it's because I treated them like dirt, I'm debating leting them go with my parents, they aren't safe for themself. But if I let them go they'll either escape, try again, or my parents will find out what I'm doing. And all those things would make me a dead man, by emotion or my parents. So I'm having them stay with me, they'll come with me to all my work, sleep with me in my room, and eat all meals with me. I need to prove to myself and the world that I'm not a monster.

I'm getting the medic but my mind is filled with Bee, I've done something horrible, and it caused someone to attempt suicide. I know I can't fix them now, but I have to do something.

Bee's neck is badly bruised and the back of their neck is cut from frayed pieces of the rope.

The medic gets to the room, and I watch as they bandage Bee again(they bleed through their other bandages).

I thank him when he's done, I turn to Bee, "Feel any better?" I ask.

"No. Are you going to start babying me now that you've realized I'm a living person with feelings as well?"

I look down, they're right, I've been horrible to them ever since I met them. I act like I'm supirior but I'm not, I'm like everyone else: a person with feelings.

"I'm sorry, I know it doesn't mean much but I am, is there anything I can do?"

They look at their body, wheels turning in their head. Finally they look to me again, "Yeah... actually..." They start, looking embarresed.

"What is it?"

"Can you lay with me again?"

I'm confused and shocked, they want me- the one who was so bitter to them -to lay with them.

"Yeah... sure"

I get in bed with them and they close their eyes, seeming to finally relax since they got up. They must truely enjoy company. I don't say anything and let them sleep.
