''I'm so sorry you had to do this to make you feel better sweetheart. I know it's hard but please let me in, please let me help you. It won't be easy but you can get better. You are safe here. You can be yourself here. I don't know what makes you hurt yourself but you don't have to anymore, okay? We can and want to help you. Please try, tell me when you have the urge to do it or tell me when you've done it. then we can talk about it or distract you or properly clean the wound. Next to that, you need to eat because I don't think you eat more than the breakfast we make you eat, but boy do I hope I'm wrong about that. Sweetie we need to make you healthy because you deserve to be healthy and you deserve to be happy. So please let us in, let us help you.'' Lizzie rants, having tears slip out of her eyes. Riley listens to every word but she can't believe them, no one cares for a random kid that much. Her heart had calmed since the skin contact and she was breathing normally again.

''Nothing last forever, Lizzie'' Riley mumbles before falling asleep. Lizzie doesn't know what to say to that so she just holds Riley tight. She sees that Riley has fallen asleep. Not wanting to leave the girl alone she moves the two of them to lie comfortably while she is still holding Riley tight. Before Lizzie knows it she is asleep as well.

Lizzie POV

I wake up to the sound of Riley's alarm. I quickly turn it off and look at the girl who is still asleep, in the same position we fell asleep in. I hold her close and kiss her head a few times. There is so much to the girl that I don't know about. So much she went through that she doesn't talk about. I wish I knew the best way to help her but I guess we have to figure that out together.

When my back starts to hurt a little and my stomach starts to be upset I carefully slip out of Riley's hold, which was more complicated than I thought. I look to see that Riley is still asleep, snuggling into the pillow I was laying on. I walk out and grab my phone from the living room and call Riley's school, saying Riley is sick, before walking to the kitchen where I'm met with Robbie making some breakfast.

''Morning, Lizard, how did you sleep?'' Robbie asks as he sees me.

''Hey, hon, I slept okay, you?'' I ask back while sitting on the counter next to where he is standing,

''I slept great, want some toast?''

''Yes, please, and about 3000 hugs,'' I say and he laughs before turning to me and standing between my legs, wrapping his arms around me. I do the same to him, and I can't help but to burst into tears. I feel Robbie pick me up and walk us to the living room, where he sits on the couch with me on his lap.

''Talk to me, love'' He says and I sit up a little.

''I just, she has so many scars. Scars she put on her body herself, and I don't know how to help her. She is not eating well and not accepting help. She doesn't think she deserves anything, not the help or the love we try to give her. I told her we are going to help her and that we love her and that she is safe here but you know what she said, Robbie?'' I rant

''What did she say, love?''

''She said, 'Nothing lasts forever, Lizzie' and then she fell asleep. She doesn't; think this is going to last, Robbie. I-'' I can't say anything more before my heartbeats pick up more and I'm basically gasping for air. Robbie moves so I'm sitting on the couch and he sits before me on the ground, on his knees. He takes my face in his hands before speaking.
