Nothing without you

Can I ask you something?

*T/w this chapter talks about S/A

I woke up to the scent of food coming from the kitchen and an empty bed. After I fell asleep I forgot about what had happened. As I made my way to the kitchen the smell of fish filled my nose.

"Hi baby how do you feel?"

Sage said while wrapping me in her arms with a small kiss. Her warmth made me feel content and safe.

I feel better just a little upset that I dumped a lot on you within a few days. And I'm sorry you got brought into this.

My voice was shaky as I felt the tears build up in my eyes trying to fight them from falling from my eyes. The room fell silent as we just stood there before I could take back what I had just said Sage started to cry as tears slowly fell from her beautiful eyes down her face.

Sage why are you crying?

" Because you think that you're a burden to me and that you don't deserve to have someone in your life to help you when it gets like this"

What she said hit kinda hard growing up in a family that cared about their reputation more than their kids always made me feel like asking for help was a problem.

"You are never going to be a burden or an issue for me Roy. I want to provide you with support and love and protect you from anything that can harm you, I love you so much that words can't even begin to explain."

The room fell into an uncomfortable silence with the air gloomy and sad. I don't know what happened but the next thing I felt was Sage's arms around me as I felt the tears slowly roll down my face. As we pulled apart from the hug I remember the tattoo on her thigh and decided to ask about it.

Can I ask you something?

What is it love?

The tattoo on your leg the Medusa... may I ask you why you got it?

Her gaze shifted to the floor as her body started to become tense. She looked up and I saw the pain in her eyes mixed with sadness and hate.

Sage
*******

Her question brought back the memories of that night, the memories that I tried so hard to bury. The thought of her on top of me as tried to free myself from her, the sound of me begging her to leave me alone, the tears that fell from eyes after that night.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a hand grab mine which caused me to jump.

" Sage I'm sorry you went through whatever you went"

The reason I got the tattoo was because when I was eighteen I was S/A'd by the girl i was dating at the time. I tried to push her off but It was no use I begged for her to stop but she kept going.

As the words fell from my mouth each word was laced with pain as the memories kept flooding my mind. I felt a weight somewhat being lifted off my chest I've never told anyone about that night until now.

Royal gave me a tight hug and apologized for asking such a deep question before I changed the subject to what was for dinner.

As I fixed our plates I let Roy pick a movie or show she wanted to watch as we ate. As we watched the TV and enjoyed our dinner there was a knock on the door.
