defiance

chapter 3

🚩 This chapter might be a bit violent. Arlo hurts himself by accident. Rein comes to help, but doesn't ease the pain.

It has been a pretty good morning so far.
I had woken up in Reins arms, his face pressed into the back of my neck.
Currently I was sitting on the couch, drinking a hot coffee, I held the mug feeling the burn on my fingertips and stare out the window.
Rein was still sleeping, he must have had a long work day yesterday as he was knocked out cold. Didn't even stir when I moved to get up.
Lost in thought I went to take another sip and completely miss my mouth, the hot liquid running down my jaw and shirt, I get up quickly causing my mug to fall to the floor and smash, some glass shards going into my feet "aah! Fuck!" I jump and grab my foot hopping in the air like a cartoon character, and if things couldn't get any worse, I literally slipped on the blanket I left on the floor last night and face-planted.
My eyes water from hitting my nose, Rein runs out of the bedroom in literally nothing, full on butt ass naked, the clothes he was born in, his birthday suit. God help this man for sleeping naked all the time.
Rein runs to me and helps me stand, untangling the blanket from my glass infested bloody feet, I feel liquid run from my nose down my chin. Reins shirt that I wore to bed was already turning bloody at the collar. "Oh sweetie, what did you do?" He asks, picking me up so that I don't have to walk on my injured feet to the kitchen.
There, he sat me on the kitchen bench beside the sink and handed me a cloth to stop my blood nose. I watch him work on my feet with the first aid box, using antiseptic wipes and bandages. I wince and pull my foot away to which he grabs my ankle and using a pair of tweezers, starts picking out all the glass.
I cry out when they enter one of my wounds and fish out some mug, "Ow! Stop, that hurts!" I try to pull my leg away, his grip only increases when I do so.
I feel blood run down my foot, the sound of the drops landing on the tiled floor does nothing to ease my pain. "REIN!" I cry out again when he puts the tweezers into another wound and pulls out bits of glass, I swear he's ignoring me.
Another jolt of pain and a yell out for him to stop when he puts the tweezers deeper in my foot causing more red liquids to splash to the floor. "REIN!" I scream at him, he finally looks up, a frown on his face, "I'm almost done. Put the cloth to your nose, it's still bleeding" he says when his eyes lower to where the blood was escaping from.
I nod my head at him and squeezed my eyes shut as well as the cloth holding, it to my nose when he put the tweezers in my foot again.
Not long after he removes the tweezers and puts them on the counter right beside my thigh, the blood is already leaking off and pooling around it. I look at Rein who smiles the sweetest smile, the pain already departing just by looking at that smile, oh, that smile must have been created by Satan himself.
"All done, I just have to wipe them, and bandage them." He tells me grabbing a disinfectant wipe, and the bandages he got out previously.
I frowned my brows at him confused "why didn't you stop when I told you to?" I ask him as he wraps my feet. He looks up at me and arch's an eyebrow. "I wouldn't have removed all the glass if I stopped." Fair enough. I wince when he tightens the bandages a bit too much. "It's too tight." He ignores me again and finishes wrapping my feet, the blood flow already feeling like it had stopped at my ankles.
Rein pats my thighs and stands, he looks into my eyes for a few seconds before turning around and going to the fridge. I stared at him shocked, I really thought he was going to kiss me and tell me everything is 'ok'.
"Hey Bub, do you want a drink? He peaks his head from around the fridge. I shake my head at him "I'm alright, I had a coffee before." I say my sentence slowly gets quieter the more I speak, humiliation and embarrassment slowly drowning me.
Rein chuckles at me and drinks straight out of the milk bottle. "Pour a cup if your not going to drink the whole thing." I warn him still sitting on the counter. Rein rolls his eyes at me and puts the carton away closing the fridge, still butt. Ass. Naked. "And put some clothes on, what if we get visitors?" I tell him again, to which he fake huffs and walks up to me.
"Who's going to visit at 7 in the morning?"
I shrug my shoulders, "your mother?" I joke, bad idea.
Rein puts his hands on either side of my body and leans close, "baby, she hasn't come to visit me for the last 5 years. She's probably out there getting high with another man adding to my siblings count."
I frowned my eyebrows at him and leaned against the wall. "That's not very nice, Rein. She's still your mother."
He scoffs at me, out of the corner of my eye I see his fists clench and his nuckles go white. Rein speaks which makes me focus on his face again. "I don't care if it's nice or not, because it's true. My mother is nothing but a lowly junkie who sells herself to feed her addiction."
My body tenses and I glare at him, at his cruel words that he would even dare say about his mother. "The only time she visited me was to get money. Then she was gone again, the only reason she would ever return again was if she needed more money."
I grit my teeth at him and bite my tongue to keep my mouth shut. Turning my head to the side, I change subjects.
"I feel filthy and I'm covered in blood, can you carry me to the bathroom so that I can shower?"
Rein sighs and stands properly, moving his hands to his side again he runs one through his tossled bed hair. "Yeah, I'll have to bag your feet so that they stay dry though." I nod my head and watch as he walks away to find some plastic bags.

AUTHORS NOTE
Holy moly, now that, was something.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone who suffers from drug addiction, or knows anyone who suffers. I was to apologise now and say that it was purely for entertainment purposes, and everyone and everything in this book is made up from my mind.
Aside from that, I hope you liked this chapter. I will try to update daily, though I am doing study right now and exams are soon. If I don't update I will explain myself as best as possible. 😁
Enjoy your day/night 😋
