Beau's P.O.V.
I woke up to the sun coming in through the curtains in my bedroom and my alarm clock blasting my favorite song. I got up and started my morning routine not changing out of my pajamas, before heading downstairs to grab some breakfast and driving to the convenient store.
Once I got to the shop, I picked out popcorn, hot chocolate, and Zoey's favorite candy.I texted Zoey telling her I was on my way before paying for the items and walking out to my car.
When I got to Zoey's, I knocked on the door and waited for her to answer. When the door opened a few seconds later, Zoey was standing in the entry way in her pajamas with her hair in a messy bun and no makeup on. She looked like she'd just woken up but still managed to look pretty.
I gave her a hug and a kiss before going into the living room and setting up the movies and snacks. She trailed behind me and sat on the couch. When everything was ready, I sat beside her and started the movie. I felt Zoey snuggle into me and I wrapped my arm around her.
"Thank you for all this. I've had a stressful week and I needed time to calm down and relax." Zoey whispered from beside me.
"You're welcome." I replied. "It's the least I can do after how bad I treated you. I added.
I reached over to hold her hand but ended up grabbing her wrist by accident and she immediately flinched away. I got worried and immediately asked her what was wrong.
"It's nothing," she replied. I asked to see her wrist and she denied but I managed to pull up her sleeve when she wasn't paying attention and almost started crying at what I saw.
She had tons of red lines going up her lower arm and I knew what it was but I didn't understand why she would want to start again after she had been clean for so many years.
"Why?" I managed to say.
"I was so s-stressed out that I c-couldn't stop." She managed to say in between sobs. I felt so guilty because I knew it was my fault and that felt horrible. She had had self harm issues in the past but she was over five years clean and I fucked that up.
"This is all my fault. If I hadn't caused you all that stress, you wouldn't have started again and we would still be as close as we were." I replied.
"Don't blame this on yourself Beau, it wasn't just that. I promise to never self harm again." She finished.
After that we finished the movie and fell asleep on the couch cuddled up next to eachother. I felt so blessed to have someone like Zoey in my life.
