Love Me To Love You

4.) Sweetheart

⚠️TW: Mentions of self-harm⚠️

I woke up and Rhea was not in the room.

Right as I was thinking that she popped in.

"Dana, we can leave now. I could take you to yours, but I'd much rather have you stay with me, just so i can keep an eye on you"

She had a look of almost... embarrassment?

"I think that's a good idea." I smiled

That seemed to put her mind at ease.

She helped me out of my bed because damn was the pain still there

Not as much as before, but still.

We walked out and I thanked the nurses and we headed to Rheas truck

Rheas POV
I helped Dana to my truck, doing my best to stabilize her

I couldn't help but look at all her wounds from the glass.

I can't believe she took the glass out of her skin just so I didn't get hurt

Such a sweetheart

As I was looking over them, something else caught my eye

It looked of about 10 white faded scars

Made perfect sense why she wore long sleeves, even in the very hot days

I knew of those all to well, as I did the same thing when I was younger.

I wanted to talk to her about, just not now

I opened my truck door and helped her in

She insisted she could buckle herself, but her face said otherwise.

I buckled her and started walking to my side.

Dana's POV
I looked down at my arms and legs all stitched up and-

Oh shit

There's no way she saw my scars

I always hide them up

I started playing with my rings, distracting myself from the urge to cry

I know she will probably bring it up

I'm just not ready

I hear Rheas door open and she hops inside

I give her a warm smile, hiding the fact I'm extremely anxious

She returns it with one of her own.

God the butterflies in my stomach are swarming.

She buckles in and we drive home

The only thing filling the car is Slaughterhouse by Motionless In White which is Rheas favorite

"May I play something?" I ask suddenly

She hands me the aux, "Have at it"

I play my Blackbird by Alter Bridge and she seems to like it

We drive home at around 9 pm. My god I slept all day

We arrive at her house and it's beautiful

I get out of the car before she even tries to help

Not because I don't want to, but because she's done too much for me

We walk inside and the inside is filled with black decor

"Your house is gorgeous."

"Thank you, It took me so long to get it like this"

I yawn and I think she can sense that the tired from being at the hospital for 3 days.

"You can sleep in my guest bedroom." She walks over to a door and opens it

"Thank you" I smile and take my shoes off

I hop in the bed and close my eyes, followed my the door shutting behind me
