The door opened and George came in. Lily immediately got off my lap and ran over to him. He picked her up and threw her in the air making her giggle.
"You ready for a bath?" He asked her and she pouted but he kissed all over her face making her laugh again.
"Come on" He said and he looked at me telling me to follow him so I did.
We both started giving Lily a bath and making her laugh the whole time before she splashed water all over George's shirt.
He rolled his eyes before taking his shirt off and oh my god. His abs, I think I might pass out.
He chuckled and that brought me out of my stare.
"Like what you see" he laughed.
"Shut up" I rolled my eyes but he grabbed my chin making me look up at him.
"Remember what I said" He smirked and let go of my chin.
I just continued to bathe Lily and I rolled up my sleeves a little making sure I didn't show my gauze but also not wanting to get water on my hoodie.
After a while we dressed Lily and put her to bed. George also finally changed and put a shirt and some sweatpants on.
We both went downstairs and sat on the couch. His arm was over my shoulder and I was getting my stuff out of my bag.
"Okay, let's get to work" I took out my laptop and opened the project and we both started working.
About an hour later me and George had already finished the project and we were now watching Batman cause apparently George is obsessed with those movies. I was leaning against the arm of the couch and had my legs on top of his.
"Can I ask you something?" He asked looking over at me.
"You just did" I grinned and he just put in a amused look, "Yeah sure you can ask me something" I told him.
"What happened to your wrist?" He asked and I looked down seeing that they were covered up.
"What do you mean?" I acted confused, I also genuinely was.
"I saw the gauze when you rolled up your sleeves to get Lily out of the bath" He said grabbing my arm and rolling up my sleeve to show my gauze.
"I just burned it, no big deal" I told him but he grabbed my other wrist and rolled up the sleeve showing my other gauze.
"On both your wrist?" He raised an eyebrow and I just gently took my hands away and pulled down my sleeves.
"Yeah, I was taking coo-"
"Stop lying to me"
"Bu-"
"Nope, you're telling me the truth. Right now"
I couldn't, I just couldn't so I stayed quiet and looked back at the tv. He gently grabbed my chin making me look at him.
"Please tell me what's going on, baby" George said rubbing my cheekbone with his thumb.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him with me upstairs with me. This was it, I had to tell him. One part of me was telling me to stop, telling me to not tell him. But an even bigger part of me was screaming at me to tell him.
I dragged him to his room and sat him down on the bed. I prepared myself, I didn't know what his reaction would be. I took my hoodie off and he immediately looked down to my stomach seeing the gauze wrapped around it.
He saw the bruises all around it and knew there were more under. I went to his bathroom and he got up and followed me. I grabbed a wash cloth and ran it under water before putting it to my face and wiping the makeup off.
I looked up in the mirror and the bruises on my face showed. My eyes filled with tears and George just pulled me into his arms. I dropped to the floor and he followed, taking me and setting me on his lap in a comforting way.
He rubbed my back up and down and kept saying it's okay in my ear. I sobbed into his chest and he shushed me holding me tighter.
After a while I finally calmed down and he pulled my face out of his chest. He wiped my tears before resting his forehead against mine.
"Who?" He asked quietly.
"My father" I said simply and he nodded and kissed my forehead before picking me up and bringing me to his bed.
"Can I take off the gauze?" he crouched in front of me and I nodded.
He started to take it off my stomach first and he saw the cuts everywhere with even more bruises. He then took off the ones on my wrist revealing the new, healing, and old scars.
He got up and went to the bathroom and came back a second later with another wash cloth with warm water on it. He placed it on my cuts and cleaned them up. He grabbed a shirt from his closet and put it on me before picking me up again and bring me back downstairs to sit on the couch again, with me on his lap.
We sat there for a few minutes before his parents came through the door. I tried to get off his lap but he held me tighter and I just sighed and relaxed into him.
"She okay?" I heard Maria asked and George looked at me unsure before he just shook his head and hid my face in his neck.
"What do you mean no?" Jim said and George looked down at me. I just nodded knowing what he was gonna ask.
"I'll tell you guys in the morning, can she stay here?" George told them and they both said yes.
George picked me up and said goodnight to his parents before carrying me to his room. He laid me on the bed before grabbing a pillow and putting it on the ground.
"What are you doing?" I grabbed his arm.
"Sleeping on the floor so I can be close to you" He responded.
"No, sleep in bed, please" I said and he nodded before crawling in bed next to me. I turned to face him and placed his hand on my face, stroking my cheek.
"I've got you now, go to sleep" he told me.
I nodded and closed my eyes, wondering if I just made the biggest mistake of my life or if I saved myself. ————— Author OKAY so now he knowsssss sorry i do fast paced books i really like to get to the point but i try to keep it interesting anyways i hope you guys are enjoying this book and i love you guys sm mwahhhh- shay
