29. (TW : SH)

⚠ TW: SH

you weren't feeling like yourself and its been a month since you felt like that. everything was just the same for you. waking up, going to school, sleep and repeat and repeat. you just felt so numb that you didn't even have an appetite. you felt guilty for how you felt because you had your friends, you had lesso but yet, you still feel so empty. Why? That's the thing, you don't know why.

As you woke up one day, you gave out a deep heavy sigh. Another day to get through. You got up and wash yourself up. The opened wounds hurted you as the water and soap touch them but you couldn't care at all and just continued to bath.

You got out of the shower and wiped yourself dry. You had old and fresh wounds all over your body but it's not like anyone will notice. You were always fully covered up. You were numb to the point where sometimes you couldn't even notice your own surroundings so when lesso came in, you didn't know.

She was speechless to see your body filled with wounds and scars and blood. You wrapped your whole body with bandages regardless if they were still bleeding. As you were done, you were about to close the aid box when you saw lesso in the mirror. You cursed under your breath as you closed the box and wore your pants.

Lesso slowly approached you and sat beside you. She took her hand into hers and looked at you, her eyes filled with concern and worry, "y/n, what happen to you"

"I got into a fight last night" you couldn't look her in the eye as you lied. You know you would start to cry if you look at her.

"don't lie to me. I can see. You're not eating anymore. You're always spacing out and now this... Talk to me, my love"

you were putting on a brave/strong face, still not looking at her, you sniffed, "everything is fine. Don't worry about me"

"look at me" you were always the stubborn type so she took your chin in between her fingers so you will look at her and when she did, your eyes was watery, "it's okay to cry, y/n"

you tried your hardest to be strong but after she said that, you couldn't help but to let it all go. She brought you close to her and into a hug as she stroked your back, "what's wrong"

you started to rant out, "everything. i know i have you and my friends but I feel such a failure. I failed as a friend, a girlfriend, a daughter. Everyday is like a battle to me to even just wake up. I feel so suffocated" Lesso hugged through it all as your tears flowed down like a waterfall, "i know it's wrong for me to say this but I just want to.. I just want to end it all..."

"it's okay, I'm here now. Just breathe" she stayed silent for awhile before saying, "you're not a failure. to me and to your friends, you aren't. im sorry for not realising you were hurting, my love"

"it's not your duty to keep track on me. Its fine"

"it's not fine. We're in this relationship. We're a team. If you're hurting, I'm hurting. Your problem is mine and vice versa. Don't ever think you are a burden to me, okay. You are imperfectly perfect for me. I didn't fall in love with you because i was bored or lonely. I genuinely care for who you are, with everything that you are, y/n. Remember my promise I made to you when we first got together?"

you just kept quiet.

"I'll be there when you fall and when you rise. Call me and I will come rushing to you at full speed. No matter how weak or strong you think you are, remember that you will always have me. I know words are easy to say so allow me to show you it all. Allow me to be your shield, to be your diary, to be that person that will catch you when you fall from a high place, to cheer on for you when you rise"

lesso pulled away from the hug as she looked at you, "in this relationship, no one, both you and me, don't have to be the stronger one. We'll fight this pain together and rise together. You and me together, my love"

you didn't respond back to her and she could tell that you were feeling so numb from your eyes. Your eyes showed no hope, no life. She frowned as she brought you into a hug once more.

After awhile, you fell asleep in her arms and she laid you down. She took a good look at you and all your wounds. The blood was still sipping through as the bandages got red. Lesso held onto your hand as she rubbed it with her thumb, "through thick and thin, my love, here and forever after" she kissed you on the forehead and went to tuck you in. She assigned two wolf guards at your door so no one can go in except for you and her.
