Black Roses. (Punk 5SOS) *COMPLETED*

Black Roses~16

◼️🌹 16:

As Calum reached for my jeans I stopped him, he gave me a questioning look and I sighed.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not ready, I can't, I'm sorry." Calum nodded in understanding, he smiled at me before kissing my head.

I stay on the bed and that's when it got to me, all the memories, all the pain and all this lack of confidence.

"Calum, follow me," I added, pulling him downstairs. I walked into the office, pulled out the files and turned to the brown haired boy.

"Find Scarlett Johnson." I instructed he gave me a weary look and he went from the front, which were the newest cases. It took him a good few minutes of looking till he reached the last file, old and ripped he lifted it up.

He opened it, read it and looked back at me.

"This happened to you? At 3?" I nodded feeling the tears now run.

"What the hell? And she just left you like that?" Again, I nodded.

"3rd degree burns, ruined face and no hair." He gasped.

"Show me." I stared at him for a while before I eventually ripped my shirt off. I looked down at the horrible wounds that had been left, Calum walked over, feeling the bumpy skin of my chest and stomach.

"And my legs," he instructed me to lose them as well and as I did he let a few tears slide.

"There wasn't enough new skin for my body. And my hair," Calum looked at me as I removed the wig. "Is fake. You all call yourselves a freak, well I'm 16, bald and have 3rd degree burns all over me." I cried, he engulfed me in a rather needed hug.

He watched in pure sympathy.

"I've never gone swimming, I've never had sex, I've never been able to where crop tops because I'm a freak." I admitted, he didn't let go of me, all I could feel was his warm arms.

Calum picked me up, he carried me back upstairs and laid me on the bed. He put the covers over me and laid beside me.

"You're not a freak, you're beautiful, you're perfect and if anyone can't see that, they don't deserve you." Calum whispered and I smiled up at him.

"They're not disgusting, they're battles. Many three year olds would have died but you survived, you're so lucky." I scoffed, I certainly did not feel lucky. Although in Calum's arms I felt extremely special and safe.

Calum's finger brushed over the bumpy lines in my skin and leaned down to kiss it. He paused when looking at my sides and top thighs.

"These are scars, as in self scars." He said running his finger across them.

"Let's just say, before you boys came I was in a bad place."

You finally have a Scarlett background story!

Basically if you've watched AHS, you know in murder house? Yeah well, the guy who keeps bothering Violets dad, with the 'burnt' face, well imagine that skin all over her thighs and stomach.

Just a breif mention of Self Harm for Scarlett, it needs to fit in the story.

When she got in the fight, I know I said her shirt came off but she was wearing something underneath, yeah I know sorry :) x
