Unbreakable

Tw: Suicide, Death, Panic Attack, Smoking, Alcohol

It was another of those evenings where you were alone in your house, waiting for your wife to come home.
While she was out drinking, partying and smoking you sat there in your bed with tears in your eyes, looking at the wedding photo of you both that you always had on your nightstand.

Over the last 6 weeks things between you and Julia changed. From one day to the other she started talking less to you, she went out nearly every evening and came back home drunk, she smoked a lot more than usual and she didn't show you any affection.
"What's going on with you Darling...?" you mumble and wipe your tears.
Just in that moment you heard some loud noises from downstairs and knew that your probably fully drunken wife was home.
You always tried to hold her back from going out again because you knew how it would end but she didn't even listen to you.

You got downstairs quickly only to find Julia walking through the door and shutting it with a loud bang behind her.
"Oh hello you" she says coldly while walking, well more of stumbling, past you.
When trying to walk upstairs, she tripped over her feet and lost her balance.
Just in time, you managed to catch her.
"Oh my hero" she mumbles.
You help her back up on her feet but while doing that her shirt slipped a little to the side and you could see three big hickeys over her neck and collarbone.
"Julia what's this? Where do these hickeys come from?" She rolls her eyes at you.
"Calm down. It wasn't anything serious. Besides you don't have any idea of my life and my problems anyway...." You furrow your eyebrows.
"You make out with someone else and tell me to calm down? No seriously I'm not doing this again."
You storm upstairs, get her a blanket and throw it downstairs before going back into the bedroom and locking it.

The next day

It was 1Pm and Julia was still sleeping.
You were in the kitchen making lunch when you heard steps behind you. You didn't turn around nor did you say something.
She got herself some water and painkillers before she went upstairs to shower and get ready while you sat there alone and ate.

After about half an hour later she came back down and sat opposite you at the table.
"Headache?" She nods and you scoff. "Who would've thought that..." "What's your problem Y/n?"
You furiously stand up.
"My problem?!....My problem is you and your behaviour!"
"Well what about my behaviour?"
You shake your head.
"You don't remember anything from yesterday?" She stays quiet.

"You came home completely drunk again and you still have hickeys on your body from somebody else. When I asked you, you told me to 'calm down' because it isn't anything serious and you have oh so big problems I can't even imagine!" You cried out.
"And? What does it even matter to you?" She jumps up and stands in front of you.
"It matters a lot to me! You're my wife!" She looks at you confused and angry.

"Julia what's going on with you?" You grab her hands. She shakes her head, ready to pull away but you hold her in place.
"Let me go!" "No! We will talk about this right now, right here."
"There's nothing to talk about, it isn't your business."
"Yes it is. You are my wife and I won't let my wife go out again, getting completely wasted and making out with other women!"
You let her go and make her sit down on the chair again, standing in front of her.
"You barely talk to me, you don't show me any affection, you're not going to work anymore instead you drink and drink and drink, making yourself sick. And not to forget the amount of cigarettes you smoke. You smoke more than twice as much as before. Julia can't you see that something isn't right? I'm worried about you..." You now had tears in your eyes.
"We've always told each other our worries and problems why don't we do it anymore?" When you looked into her eyes you saw them glistening and only seconds after she started crying. You wrap your arms around her while rubbing her back.
"Can't you see that I'm not good for you anymore? I'm a loser. I'm nothing" She cries
"No Darling no. What makes you think that?" She sobs.
"Shh it's alright okay...." She stands up and goes to get something out of her handbag. It was a letter which she handed you.
You took her hand in yours while you read the letter.

It was from one of her patients.
It was a goodbye letter.

After reading it you turn back to her. Tears stream out of her eyes again and she breaks down in your arms. "It's my fault, everything is my fault. I'm such a bad person..." she cried in your neck and you only held her tighter.
"Look at me." She did what you said.
"He wrote that it isn't your fault alright? Here look, he said that you were the best therapist someone could wish for." You rub her cheeks.
"Julia it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself..."

"But I'm the therapist, I should be there for my patients...instead I have my own problems and bother everyone...."
You kiss her forehead.

"No Darling, being a therapist doesn't mean to be unbreakable.
It means being human too. And being human is the most normal thing on this planet. It means showing emotion, crying, laughing, loving, dancing, living your life with all the ups and downs. It means being here on this planet in your beautiful body and going through everything that life has for you.
And we should cherish that....that we have the opportunity to be here and to live our lives.
And I'm so grateful I have you, my only love, my heart....and your patient was also grateful for having you as his therapist and our friends they're grateful for you being their friend.
And if you cry then I'm here for you because we're both human, we both cry, we both love and we both live okay?"
With that you slowly kiss her.
"I love you, do you hear that?"
"I love you too...."

"Just think about the many people you have already helped. Just think of how happy you've made them." Your wife nods.
You pick her up and walk over to the couch, laying down with her on top of you.
"Please, please promise me that you'll stop smoking and drinking that much....please" "Yes, I will..."
You kiss her cheek.
"I'm sorry...for all those mean things I said."

"Oh Darling don't worry, it's all forgiven and forgotten. I'm just glad I have you back now." The redhead smiles and you rub her waist.

"I love you"

"I love you too, thank you for your help"

And with that you continue to cuddle the rest of the day.

Oh wow now that update was really fast.

Hope you like it....

Have a nice day/night

Love you<3
