As requested! Sorry it took so long! I'm also very high rn so this might be full of typos lol
When she told me to show her I began to panic.
" Actually this was silly of me, I'm fine. I'm sorry I called. I was being dramatic for no reason. Here, you just relax and I'll make you something to eat because I'm sure you're hungry after the drive." I rambled and stood up to go to the kitchen but Brielle grabbed my hand, stopping me.
" Sammy, stop." She said understandingly. " It's okay."
I pulled away trying to break free of her grasp so she let go, not wanting to hurt me. I put my head in my hands and felt myself completely breaking down again.
" No, no it's not okay. This was a mistake. This isn't your problem, I'm not your problem. I'm so sorry I dragged you all the way here." I cried.
" It's alright hun, it's all alright. I want to be here and I want to help you, so just show me where you've been cutting, okay, I promise you it's okay, I'm not upset with you." She spoke softly in an effort to stop my panic.
" It's bad Bri. You don't deserve to be subjected to that." I said as I took a deep breath to be more collected.
" I'll be fine. I just need you to show me now though, I'm worried." She explained.
" I really don't think I can." I said trying to prevent more tears from falling from the corners of my eyes.
" Okay, how about you just tell me where and I'll look for myself? Can we do that?" She asked.
"Stomach, and shoulder." I told her. " Left shoulder."
" Thank you." She said, nodding in appreciation.
She had me sit down again and first went to look at my shoulder. I had a baggy tee shirt on so she carefully rolled the sleeve up until she saw the cuts and partially forming scars that laid underneath it.
" Where's your medical supplies Sammy? I need to clean and dress these."
" Bathroom, below the sink." I replied and so she got up to get them.
When she got back she disinfected the cuts with an antibacterial spray before coating my shoulder in ointment and wrapping it in gauze. She then moved onto my stomach and I winced as she lifted up my shirt.
She tried to hide her reaction but I could see the shock in her eyes.
" These should've had stitches Sammy." She told me sadly.
" I know." I said not wanting to argue with her. " I'm sorry."
" You don't have to be. I'll fix you up, it's okay." She answered.
She tenderly cleaned and bandaged the wounds across my stomach and rubbed her hand up and down my thigh when she noticed I kept wincing in pain.
" I know, I'm sorry. I'm almost done." She said.
" It's alright, I deserve it for whatever I've done." I said in response.
" Now Sammy. That is just not true. You are a wonderful person and if you did something wrong Amelie would've told you. Sometimes people can fall out of love for no reason, it just happens, it wasn't your fault." She tried to assure me as she finished up. " I'm done, no more pain."
" I don't know how I'll go without it." I said coming to that realization at the same time I spoke.
" I'll help you and like I said before, I'm gonna get you a therapist to see alright, I'm all in." She said.
" Do you want to shower? Can you?" She asked after I stayed silent to her previous answer.
" No. Not right now. I don't feel good right now." I replied.
" What's wrong?" She questioned seemingly concerned.
" I'm kind of dizzy. I'm tired and scared and anxious and sad, and like all I want to do is cut myself again but I can't." I said and Brielle pulled me into her arms.
" Okay, no shower then. Let's get you something quick and easy to eat like some soup and then you can sleep yeah?" She suggested.
" Okay." I said, my head on her shoulder.
She made me chicken noodle soup and some crackers on the side, which I ate fast so I could get to bed.
" Good. That should help with you dizziness."Brielle claimed.
" Thanks." I said genuinely.
"Now to bed." She said and followed me to my room.
She helped me into bed before hopping in the other side.
" Is this what you want?" She asked unsure.
" Yes, yes please. I want to feel warmth right now, so badly. It helps." I said.
" Then let me hold you again. I'll get you to sleep." She insisted.
I agreed and layed in her arms thinking of the promise she made where she promised she wanted to be there and help me. I felt myself have a small smile forming on my face as her fingers interlocked with mine and I fell asleep.
