Start caring for yourself part 2

**TW: Abuse, abusive ex, self harm/SH, Roger mentioned suicide attempt/ suicidal thoughts** This is a longer chapter since I just wanted to cover a bit more about Rachel and Winter, but I will make a story dedicated the Wintumn, which will include Wichel (Winter and Rachel) and some of Autumn's exes. You guys can decide if they're like Rachel or not.

"What do you mean Winter's passed out!?" Autumn rushed in the bathroom, speeding past Charlottle. Autumn walked towards her boyfriend, who had a towel under his head and was passed out on the ground. "What happened?!" Autumn fell to the ground. "He started talking about why he freaked out, and he couldn't control his breathing, he said he got dizzy and passed out?" Charlotte explained.

10 minutes ago:

"Winter, breathe and explain why you freaked out." Charlotte instructed. "A couple years back, I had a girlfriend, her name was Rachel. Rachel, she- she was... very violent, like, Roger violent. She didn't care about me, I'm pretty sure she was just using me for the sex honestly. She never made sure I was okay, she made me do everything, and when she wasn't pleased... that's when she'd... she'd... I can't..." His breathing quickened again; the memories flooded his mind.

"Winter! What the hell!? I asked for the floor to be clean!" Rachels screamed echoed the room. Winter was sitting on the couch, trying to hold back tears. "I'm sorry, the pot fell, and I didn't noti-." Before he could finish, he was facing the other way, his cheek aching. "When I ask for something to be clean, I expect it to be clean! You're a fucking disappointment! No wonder you're an only child! Your parents probably didn't want another mistake!" Winter was holding back tears; did he really deserve this? He just wanted someone to love him for him, not to use him. "Come on, I feel needy." Rachel went upstairs, leaving Winter alone. He didn't feel like doing anything tonight, but he knew better than to disobey his girlfriend.

When they were finished, Rachel went straight to bed, leaving Winter awake. He got dressed and got in his car. He drove off, he didn't care. He didn't care what Rachel would do to him. He arrived at his destination, he was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, some long pants and just some basic shoes. "Hey Winter! I didn't know if you were even coming. Don't you think you'll get a bit hot in those?" Charlotte asked, dancing to the music. "I'm sure I'll be fine." Winter joined Charlotte and started dancing. This is where Winter wanted to be, with his work family on Halloween, not with Rachel who couldn't care less about him. After a while, he went to grab a drink with Charlotte and Carly, when Autumn came over. "Winter, may I speak to you, in private?" Winter was confused. Him and Autumn were not even close to being friends. "Uh, sure." Winter placed his drink down and followed Autumn to the bathrooms. "What's got you curious now Autumn?" Autumn looked him up and down. "Nice dance moves." Autumn crossed her arms. Winter looked her up and down, trying to seem judgemental, when he was really checking her out. Her black tight dressed hugged her figure so well. Autumn was doing the same. "So, you're sweating, should you maybe roll up your sleeves?" Autumn reached out, Winter tried to stop her, but it was too late. Autumn rolled up his sleeves and her eyes widened as she let out a gasp. His arms were covered in cuts and bruises, some of which Autumn could clearly identify were self-inflicted. "Winter-." 

"No! Autumn, I- I- I have to go... it was nice talking to you!" Winter rushed out, rolling his sleeves down. No, no, no, no, no! This was not how this night was meant to go! Before he could fully leave, he felt something grab his arm, he went to pull away, but the person pulled him forward. "I'm assuming your girlfriend did... some of these?"  Autumn pinned him against the bathroom door. "I don't want to continue this conversation." Autumn rolled her eyes. "Autumn, can I please go back to Charlotte and Carly? They're probably wondering where I am." Winter tried to move, but Autumn just pinned him down harder. "You really think I brought you here just to compliment?" Autumn smirked. "You- wh- what?" After a while, Winter caught on. "Oh...so... good to know we were both che-." His speech was cut off when Autumn smashed her lips into his. At first, she was nervous that Winter didn't want this, but her nerves were calmed when she felt Winter kiss her back. He let his hands rest on her hips, as Autumn's snaked around his neck. One thing moved to other, and before they knew it, they were both stripped of any clothes. Winter had forgotten about Rachel and what she had done to him, and as Autumn opened her eyes, she saw everything. The marks, the bruises, the cuts. She disconnected their lips, and Winter looked at her, then noticed. "I- oh no..." Winter suddenly felt very exposed. No one was ever meant to find out these existed. Autumn couldn't help but stare, then she saw Winter slowly backing away, and went to reach for his clothes.
