Romanticizing My Life

gabby:

'hey princess' 

'what happened?'

'well, i- i um- found you passed out on the bathroom floor with blood everywhere and a blade on the floor with cuts all over your arm. look i'm sorry, it's my fault you got into this mess i'm so sorry'

i feel so bad for him he blames himself so much when it wasn't his fault, god why didn't this work out. he wasn't supposed to find me alive.

'shh come here aaron' i open my arms up for him to come cuddle into me

he looks really hesitant to.

'its ok aaron, you won't hurt me. i promise'

he nods and lies down next to me, he snuggles into my gently and carefully while i play with his soft hair.

'i love you gabby. i read your letter. even though you said that it wasn't my fault. i know it is. if you hadn't come home with me your dad wouldn't have had to beat you to death and then you wouldn't had felt so worthless. i'm so fucking sorry'

he has tears coming out of his eyes, i feel so bad for putting him into this position but i couldn't do this anymore.

'i love you aaron but i am not going to let you blame yourself for something that wasn't your fault. it was my father's. i felt so worthless, that's why'

he nods and gives my cheek a soft kiss. i melt into his side. at this point i'm lying on top of his with my face in the crook of his neck as his hands are wrapped around my waist in a loving, protectiveness sort of way.

after a while i just let the darkness consume me and fall asleep

aaron:

i lay there looking up at the ceiling while gabby's asleep in my arms right now. i'm so whipped right now. i haven't even responded to any of my friends from school in days because i wanted to take care of gabby. she really doesn't realise the hold she has over me. while she's sleeping i open my phone just to see hundreds of messages. i open my main important one

Marcus Hendricks

how you doing brother? how's the girl that has you whipped that you haven't responded for days?

jesus straight to the point, she's ok i guess she's a bit shaken up but she just needs reassuring that i love and i'm not going to leave her

YOU LOVE HER?!?!?! YOU COULDN'T HAVE TOLD ME EARLIER YOU DUMB BITCH. hurry up and come back to school though, anyways i'm glad she's getting better and i can't wait to meet my future sister in-law 😏

you think your so funny marcus. i'll be back when she's back. anyways i'll call you later because she just woke up.

ok ok, talk later brother

----------

she hasn't actually woken up yet but he doesn't need to know that. i decide to put my phone on do not disturb because i want to sleep and try to not wake her up with the movement of my arms. i look down at her and try to figure out why such an awful father would hit this angel. she's so pretty it hurts, those beautiful emerald green eyes of hers are stunning even though i can't see them

she deserves so much more than what this world has to offer and i'm going to make it my mission to protect her no matter what. shit i think she woke up. fuck i can feel her moving.
