When Josh and I got back home things were very awkward between us. The house was rearranged and I almost did not recognize it. I asked Josh to borrow a t-shirt and some sweatpants and I went upstairs to take a shower. Bathing felt so good and painful at the same time. My cuts were not fully healed and as the soap danced on them my skin began to burn so i quickly rinsed off and called out to Josh to bring me a towel. I made him leave it on the rack and when he left I came out and wrapped the towel around my body. I ran back to his room and shut the door as I did not want him to see the scars on my legs and hands. I was getting dressed when the door flung open and I couldn't believe that I was so careless to not lock the door behind me. Josh walked in and he stood in shock at what he saw. I tried covering my body but it was no use, he had already seen it all.
"Could you please get out?" I asked as I turned my back and began crying. I didn't know what to do and I just broke down and cried. Josh came up to me and held me in his arms while I cried on his shoulders. He touched my scars with his skin then broke down crying with me.
"This is all my fault. If I had not let you go then all of this would not happen. I was so ungrateful for not appreciating and cherishing you. Now look what has happened and it's all because of me."
"Don't blame yourself for my mistakes. I should have left when I had the chance but I was so afraid of him. I was afraid of the things he would do to me if he found me and I had nowhere to go."
"You could have come back home. I wanted you back home. I missed you so much. I was so lonely all these years but I waited for the day you'd come back, hoping you'd come back but you never did and that's when I thought I had lost you for good."
"I was too proud to come back home and I didn't want you to take pity on me neither. I also didn't come back cause I thought your new girlfriend would be living with you so I kept my distance because what you did tore my heart to pieces. You broke my heart. I thought you loved me and I thought you'd never let me go but lately I've realized that everyone is proving me wrong and not everybody is who they say they are but I'm here now and that's all that matters so let's just forget about our past mistakes and turn over a new leaf. Okay."
"Sure. I'm still sorry."
"Okay, now could you let me change my clothes, I don't feel comfortable with you seeing my all wounded."
"okay," he said as he walked out the door,"Oh and Rachel, I love you."
"I love you too Joshy."
