Broken

Chapter Twenty-Three

*Lilly's P.O.V*

I was sitting in the bathtub with my head buried in my arms. I was just not in a very good mood after seeing my mother in the hospital. Somehow it made me even more depressed on this entire situation of my mother and Jack. I just wanted to disappear. I lifted my head and stared at the wall in front of me. I leaned over and started the faucet. Water started to fill the bathtub and I could feel my clothes becoming soaked. The water kept running as I leaned back and started sliding down into the depths of the water. I didn't know what I was doing, but all I knew was that I wanted to be lost in darkness. I stayed under the water for what seemed like an eternity for me but was simply minutes. I didn't hear the door burst open, I was too in tuned with trying to enter the darkness that began to envelope me. I felt a pair of hands grab onto my frame and I was yanked forcefully out of the water. I coughed up water and forced my eyes open. Daesung was kneeling there holding onto me tightly. "Are you stupid? Are you really that stupid?" I could feel tears starting to trickle down my face. I looked up at his face. His expression was one that was mixed with anger, hurt, and worry. "Why?" Words would not come out of my mouth. I just continued to cry silently. He sighed and brought me closer to his chest. I knew I was soaking through his shirt, but he didn't seem to care. "I'm sorry," I muttered after a few minutes. "It's okay." I could feel him slowly stroking my hair. "He looked down at me, but this time with concern only on his face. "Just tell me why?" I looked down at the floor. Somehow he managed to place me in his lap. "I...I...It's just everything that has been going on and I just...can't..." I could feel the tears starting to form once again. Dae hugged me closer to his chest and just from hearing his heartbeat, I was starting to calm down. "Do you know what would happen to me if you died?" I nodded my head. Of course I knew, but something over powers me and I just have to go through with the action. He sighed once more and picked me up bridal style and carried me to the bedroom. He helped me to undress and then dress me in a pair of sweatpants and one of his t-shirts. He threw back the covers and I crawled underneath them feeling exhausted all of a sudden. He took off his shirt and changed into a pair of sweatpants for himself. He crawled into bed next to me and brought me close to his chest. His warmth started to seep into my skin and I was starting to relax from just his presence being there. "I'm sorry," I whispered. He kissed my forehead and snuggled into the crook of my neck. "It's okay jagi. Just please next time talk to me....please. I can't lose you." I gave him a small smile and nodded my head. He held out his pinky finger and I clasped my finger with his. He kissed my cheek and snuggled further underneath the covers. My eyes started to drift off and I plunged deep into one of my many nightmares for the evening this time, though, it was something I had hoped to never have a dream like this, but of course I had little control over that.
