I can hear her stiffling her cries as I glance at her arm. Tears threaten to break from behind my eyes as I pull her in for a tight hug. She is shaking. I feel like this is my fault, something in her sleep, a dream perhaps, triggered such an anxiety attack all she could do to let it out was relapse. I know there's more than just these few deep ones on her arm, but I'm not going to press the matter.
"Bethany..why?" I ask her. She looks up at me like a lost puppy, and you can tell she is hurting, she's embaressed of what she's done. She's ashamed. I lean down and kiss her gently, just to reassure her. And then we walk into the living area together, sitting on the couch.
She is trying to tell me. We sit in silence for a good 5 minutes, her mouth opening in closing like a goldfish. I rest my hand on her knee and she lets out a shaky breath, ready to talk.
"I had this dream, and you were going to hurt me, for-for drugs." She says, I feel nothing but guilt at having been the cause of this dream that triggered such a severe attack. I sigh and try to respond, but she holds her hand up so she can continue.
"I was scared when I woke up that maybe you had more drugs. My mind convinced me you were dangerous. And once I got into the bathroom, I realized you were probably going to leave me for this. That you can't deal with my problems, and my ridiculous anxiety and I can't let you leave me, I just really need you here Gee." She says, looking up at me. Unsure of what to expect. All I can do is kiss her, that's all I should do. And so I do.
"Bethany, you are so beautiful. Inside and out. Nothing," I cup her face in my hands so she'll meet my eyes, "nothing will ever cause me to want to leave you. Do you understand me?" She nods and smiles sheepishly.
I am such a lucky man.
