Violets POV


No please

"Are you ready for your punishment?"
"Why do you even exist"

*slap*

"Trash"

He drags the knife across my stomach a scream makes it's way from my mouth.

"Help me please someone" I scream my voice barely able to keep up. The pain is literally taking my breath away.

"Just die"

*punch*

I shoot up from my bed covered in sweat. I keep having nightmares of what happened.
The tears make their way down my face my heart rate is going crazy.
A pain shoots through my stomach, I look down to see I'm covered in blood.

I stand from the bed and walk into the hallway gripping the wall.
I have to find someone.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME" I raised my voice as loud as I could before falling to the floor. Blood is pouring out and I'm beginning to get lightheaded.
"Oh my god, someone page Dr Payne immediately" a nurse yelled rolling me over
She pulls up my gown and gasp at the sight of my once stitched wound wide open.
It hurts.
It hurts.
It hurts.
"What happened" Liam asked rushing towards me
"I- I don't-" before I could get the rest of my sentence out I saw the world go black.

-------------------

My eyes flutter open to see Harry asleep his head in his crossed arms laying on the side of my bed.
My hand instinctively goes to his hair, gently combing my fingers through it.
His head shoots up, "you're awake" I can feel my face turn bright red
"Sorry" I whispered trying to turn away from him.
"What happened last night?" He asked
My eyebrows furrow, I honestly can't remember anything.
"What are you talking about" I asked glancing up towards his face. I haven't seen him look like that before. He looked genuinely worried. Why is he worried about me?
"Okay, that's okay" he let out a sigh of relief.
"That felt nice by the way if you want to keep doing it" he chuckled. His words causes me to cover my face with my hands. Why does he have this effect on me?
"How are you feeling Violet" Liam's voice enters the room calming me down a bit.
"Everything hurts but I'm okay" he nodded before setting the notepad down.
"You were found bleeding in the hallway last night, do you remember what happened?". What?
I look at Harry then back at Liam.
"I- I have no idea" why does this keep happening? I feel useless not being able to explain things.
"That's okay, the nurse said you hit your head pretty hard" I nod my eyebrow furrowed as I stare at my hands.
"You can try walking again today if you want but you don't have to"
"Harry, I need to speak with you outside for a moment" he nods giving me a smile before walking out the door

I'm alone again, even though it's for a moment I'm scared. I loved being alone before why am I so effected by loneliness now?
I wonder what they were talking about.
I need to pee, really bad actually.
I swing my legs over the side of the bed slowly, and begin to stand to my feet. Slowly making my way to the bathroom I sit down and relief starts to come over me. Im just glad they took the catheter out yesterday.
The door swings open revealing Harry, I just stare at him confused.
"W-what are you doing" I close the door back
"I thought you disappeared" he's not even gonna apologize. What a perv.

I pull my hospital panties back up and slowly make my way back to the bed giving Harry a look. My back hurts so bad. I sit and curve my back in hopes of releasing some of the pain. I felt a hand on my back gently rubbing up and down. It felt good.
His hand was warm, why is he doing this? There has to be some motive behind this.
I let him do it anyway tho it's taking my mind away from the pain I'm in.
I honestly can't wait to get out, I like Liam he's awesome but I don't like hospitals.
Harry helps me lay back down and brushes some hair from my face.
"Thank you" I said pulling the blanket to my chest.
I don't want him to leave again, it's already 7 pm.
His phone begins ringing, it's always ringing when he's here. He raises a finger before stepping out to take it.

Im alone again, I don't wanna be alone.
I can feel my anxiety rising even tho I'm aware he's returning shortly.
I wait patiently as my chest continues to tighten up. I hum to myself in hopes of calming down even a little bit. I probably look like a fool.
The door opens and Harry walks back in. I feel relieved almost instantly. Why did the man that take me end up being my safe space?
"Are you okay" he asked snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Mhm"
"I'm going to be leaving soon do you need anything"
Please stay
"No I'm okay"
Please
"Alright here's this you can use the hospital phone to call me if need be"
I gave him a nod.
Please don't go.
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow" he gave me the same small smile he does everyday, to which I respond with a wave and he leaves.
Why can't I just tell him I want him to stay?
I don't want to have the nightmares anymore I need someone.

--------
A few hours pass by, it's now 3 am and I haven't been able to sleep.
Is he awake?
Would I be a nuisance if I called?

A loud strike of thunder shakes the room further scaring me. Lightning reminds me of the things Carlos did. The bright lights, the shock, the fear.

I grab the phone and dial the number written down.

Ring
Ring
Ring
Ring

"Hello" his voice sounded tired

"Did I wake you up, I'm sorry I'll let you go" my words are fumbling over each other so I'm sure it didn't come out as crisp as I wanted it.

"No, what's wrong?"

"I'm just... afraid" I said quietly pulling the blanket closer to me

"Do you want me to come there" I can't lie my heart pinged a little in my chest

"If you want to, you don't have to" honestly just talking with him is enough

"Okay. I'll be there in a few, see ya" he hangs up and I place the phone back in its spot in the phone holder

15 minutes pass by and the door opens revealing a wet Harry.
I grab the towel next to my bed and start patting his face

"If I knew you'd get this soaked I would've told you to stay home, you could catch a cold" I scolded him knowing damn well I'm happy that he's here.

"Well I can't have you scared can I?" He chuckled

His curls were slightly damp, he had circles under his eyes.
He's exhausted.

"You're exhausted arnt you" I stare at him

"I'm okay" why's he lying?

"Yeah right" I pat the bed next to me telling him to get in

"Atleast take me on a date first Vi" I couldn't help but giggle
"Yeah whatever Harry come on" he gets in and covers himself up
Gently combing my hand through his hair I watch as he slowly falls asleep.

How cute.

I laid my head down and before I knew it I was fast asleep too.

-------------

I try to pull my arms to my chest, I'm so cold.

The door slams open revealing Carlos's face.

"N-no"
He grins as he walks towards me knife in hand

"Don't tell me no you dumb bitch"
His hand connects with my face

"P-please" his hands go to his belt removing it
"N-no"

No
Not again
Please

He forces himself into me, I scream begging for someone to help.

-------

"Vi"
"Violet it's okay, shhh it's okay" I open my eyes to meet Harry's neck

My body was shaking and tears had been streaming down my face.
"It's okay, I've got you" I hold him tighter my heart slows down
He strokes my hair as I calm down

"I-I'm sorry if I woke you up" I whispered hiding my eyes in the crook of his neck

"Shhh you didn't it's okay" he backed away to look at me carefully wiping the tears from my face

"Are you okay now?" I nod giving him a smile

I fall back to sleep held tightly in his arms

I finally feel safe.
