( HOOKER )

𝐱𝐱𝐢𝐢𝐢.

Y/N WOKE UP TO THE SOUND of rough knocks against her door, and if she was being honest that really scared her. It could've been anyone outside of her door, so she was quick to pick up the bat she had lying around in her closet. She didn't even speak a word, she only stood up and softly tip toed over to the side of the door, a deep breath leaving her throat as she reached her hand down towards the door knob, giving it a quick pull before she raised the bat.

Head cocking to the side, that's when the H/C haired woman frowned and widened her eyes at the man that stood infront of her. There was Sawyer with his hands in his pockets and a serious expression wiped over his beautiful features. He was also trembling, and she took note of that.

"Oh, gonna beat me while I'm already at my lowest..?" He mumbled with yet another sniffle coming from his nose. His words really made Y/N put the pieces together and she shook her head from side to side while backing away, allowing the bat to slip out of her fingers as she did so. She never seen the brunette in such a state, he was usually all cool and collected with her. It made her feel horrible, but at the same time, good.

It flattered her that he thought of her as someone to turn to once things got tough, but that wasn't all she was thinking of. So many thoughts were running through her mind, but she made sure to stay calm for the both of them, "No... What's the matter...?"

Sawyer shook his head and felt the way his green eyes darted around her home, a shudder going at his spine. Y/N took note of that, and that made her worry on the inside some more. Just knowing that the man could be in danger was something she was really beginning to focus on, "I saw her."

"Who...? S-Saw who..?" Y/N questioned, turning around as Sawyer followed afterwards, making sure he shut the door behind the both of them just in case.

The brunette didn't know what else to say. Firstly, he didn't want her thinking he was still stuck on the other woman, but he was and he knew he'd have to face that sometime. It's just the fact that he went to anyone about it in the first place. All of a sudden he was feeling weak and worthless. Almost exactly how he felt when he was younger being taken advantage of.

They made their way to Y/Ns room and both immediately plopped down onto the bed, causing her to turn all of her attention back onto the situation infront of her. Sawyer. "Golden... We.. kind of ran into eachother... A-And it's fucking with me. I.. I don't know why, Y/N... I thought she was gone forever."

Parting her lips due to the shock that flashed through every inch of her body, the girl then furrowed her eyebrows and analyzed the long haired man, realizing how different his movements were compared to how they are usually. This was so obviously eating at him, it began to eat at her too. Her breathing pattern was all over the place because of how nervous she was for him. "You... Saw her? Like... She lives out here??"

His green eyes narrowed and he bit down on his lip, the older woman's face practically imprinted in his mind. He knew he would have nightmares about her very soon just from the fact that she wouldn't leave his mind, "I know. I hate it."

"Well... Tell me what happened...?" Y/N asked with a light whispering sound that coated her sweet voice. She sat there, a sad look shining through her E/C eyes, and yet nothing came from the brunette beside her.

Just a long wave of silence hit her, resulting in yet another frown out of her. Of course she didn't blame him though. She didn't know what she'd do if she were in the position he was in.

Scooting over to the male, that's when the girl pursed her lips and pushed her hand out to him, causing him to look up at her with his own sadness clear over his face. Her fingers grazed his, and for some reason that calmed him down to much, and it wasn't too long until she had her hands wrapped around his.

Y/N could tell that action had him so at ease, but that made her ache once again. The fact that she had so much empathy for him was obvious, and she couldn't bear to see how much his situation was affectionate him. "Please... Tell me what happened. I'm here for you, Sawyer..."

With those gentle words, Sawyer wanted to break down and that was clear to the woman, so the moment he showed her any sign of doing so, she gave him a soft nod that told him he could. And that's exactly what he did, his body leaning over her legs as he did so.

"I... I don't know.. w-what's wrong with me.... I.. I'm the same little boy stuck in a man's body... I fucking.. l-let them use my body.. w-while she's out there... thriving with her little family... I'm.. I'm fucking nothing... I know a specific girl that would hate what I am now..." He rambled on with his sobs pouring from his eyes, his hand tightly gripping around hers as well.

"Huh... What do you mean by.. that last part, Sawyer...?" Y/N felt so bad about what was happening, it was as if there was a huge hole that shot through her fragile heart, she was beginning to think she couldn't take it.

Tears seeped into the woman's pants, making her heart rate grow higher once she realized he was truly in a deep hole that made him feel miserable, "They... Took a piece of me away... They took.. my.. my sister, my sister Sloane, and I'm doing exactly what she didn't want me to. I'm a fucking failure..."

Not a sound left her throat. She felt so stuck, like she was experiencing what he'd gone through as well. "She tried to save me, but I wouldn't let her. Then one day... She was gone... I know it was them that did something to her."

"S-Sawyer, I'm so sorry all that happened to you.... I'm here..." Y/N leaned over and wrapped her arms around the helpless male, her own E/C eyes growing watery due to how overwhelming her emotions were becoming. She didn't know how to help him when all of his sorrows were already done and the reason why he felt that way at all.
