TRIGGER WARNING

I wake up with my boyfriend's arms around me. I open my eyes and he's starring at me with concern.

"Hello sleeping beauty." He whispers softly.

I smile a little and start to stretch.

"How long have I been sleeping?" I moan.

"A few hours." Jack whispers, still starring at me.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

"The question is, are you okay?" He says with concern.

"What do you mean?" I stutter.

Jack grabs my arms and lifts my sleeves, revealing my cuts and scars. Jack looks at me as tears fill his eyes. I look away and try to hold back my tears.

"Why?" Jack whispers.

"I had to." I cry.

"Why?" He asks again.

"You weren't here! You were with your friends and I was all alone. I couldn't handle it, so this is what happened." I say looking down.

"You could have called me." He says.

"And say what? That I'm lonely and I need you to ditch your friends for me?" I say rudely.

"It wouldn't have been like that." He says holding my hand.

I look at him and cry. Jack moves next to me and holds me.

"When was the last time you ate?" Jack whispers.

I look at him and cry harder.

"I'm sorry I'm such a fuck up." I cry out.

"You're not sweetie. You're not at all." He says kissing my forehead.

I cry into his shoulder as he hugs me tightly.

"I'm going to help you." He whispers. "You're going to be okay, I swear."

"How do you know?" I say looking up and wiping my tears.

"Because I believe in you and I know you're strong enough." He smiles.

I smile a little and kiss his cheek.

"There's that smile I love." Jack smiles before kissing me.

"I love you." I whisper.

"I love you...so much." Jack smiles.

I smile and hug him again.

"Now, what do you want for dinner?" He asks sweetly.

I sit there for a minutes, looking at my cuts, and then look at Jack.

"Chicken!" I smile.

Jack smiles and kisses my cheek.

"Chicken it is!" He says getting up and leading me to the kitchen.

I sit there watching Jack make us dinner and I realize how lucky I am. I have a boyfriend who gives a crap about me. He's willing to drop everything to make sure I'm okay.

I walk up and hug Jack from behind.

"I love you so much." I say holding him tightly.

He turns around and hugs me back.

"I love you too, sweetie." He says kissing the top of my head.

"Thank you for being here for me. I really do appreciate it." I smile.

"I just want to make sure you're okay." Jack smiles.

"I promise I'll get better." I whisper.

"I promise to help you." He whispers back.

He kisses me and then continues to make dinner. This will be the first dinner I've had in days and it's going to be the best one. I'm going to get better, not for me, but for Jack. I owe him that.
