true love comes from more than just the heart

counting the stars and scars

Ellies POV
I woke up to the sound of vics breathing . The sun was shining through the blinds as i sat up and pulled the blankets off trying to not wake him up. I walked over to the bathroom on the other side of the hallway. i walked in and shut the door, stripping my pajamas off my aching body. The water sprayed down my body as i washed my now pink hair. I quickly washed my body and got out, wrapping a towel around myself. I walked across the hall back into my room.
"morning sunshine " vic said sitting on the edge of my bed.
" good morning and get out" i said while laughing.
"ok ok . ill go " he said holding his hands up and leaving my bedroom.
I walked over to my dresser and picked out a pair of dark washed skinny jeans and a white sleeping with sirens shirt that had a flower.

I walked downstairs to find vic sitting at the table with 2 bowls of fruit loops in front of him.
"hey baby" he said and pushed the bowl towards me.
i sat down and began to eat my cereal. i honestly was a little bothered by what happened earlier but i didnt want vic worrying about me.
"Ellie whats wrong"
"nothing" I said quick to defend myself.
"something is obviously bothering you" he said and reached for my hand. i pulled away and stood up.
"vic nothing is wrong . im fine just right now i need to think." i said and ran up towards the stairs to my bedroom.
Vics POV
I got up and dumped the bowls in the sink. I know Ellies upset about what happened the other night. I was just trying to show her how i felt. I walked up the stairs toward her bedroom that was basically ours because ive been sleeping here the past few weeks and knocked on the door.
"What do you want vic?" Ellie said through tears.
"Babe i wanna talk to you. I want to get through this together." I said
The door opened and ellie stood there with makeup running down her face. I took a step towards her and wrapped my arms around her petite body.
"Shhh Ellie it'll be ok. c'mere let's sit on the bed and talk this out." i said and walked her over towards the bed. "Babe tell me what's wrong " i said as she pulled away from my chest and sat up straight.
"Well the o-other night w-when you found me i th-thought you hate me now. Im such a s-stupid selfish person because i made you feel like that vic. I made the person i care about most suffer because of what I was feeling at a moment in time." Ellie said through sobs while scratching her arm where her fresh cuts were.
I grabbed her arm and held her arm while taking her other arm and kissing her scars.
"Ellie stop. I love you so much. We've been together for a few months now and I wouldn't trade you for the world. Listen to me baby, i told you that because I know how much you love me and i thought it might make you realize how much you truly matter to this world. I also thought it might help you stop cutting. im so sorry that ive put this stress on you." i said . once i said that she leaned in and kissed me. A deep passionate kiss. "What would i do without victor Vincent fuentes? i love you"
"I love you too" i said and smiled.
"now how about we go get some frozen yogurt."
"That sounds amazing " she said and grabbed my hand.
