“So this has been going on for years?” he asked as I mumbled the vaguest description of my past I could give. I simply nodded as his fingers skimmed my hip, brushing over all of the past scars.

“I stopped for a while, but all of this is just too much for me right now,” I said quietly. He hugged me closer and a kiss was pressed to my temple.

“I know this is more complicated than telling you that you’re worth more than this and all that crap,” he sighed. “So I’m just going to say that I’m here for you and set down a few ground rules.”

“Ground rules?” He nodded and sat up from our previous position to look down at me.

“First, I’m gonna keep that blade of yours, alright?” he informed softly, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “Second, I want your door unlocked at all times. Including the bathroom door when you shower-“

“BUT-BUT…NO!” I cried at his second request. “That’s disgusting.”

“I won’t try anything,” he promised sincerely. “But if you cut yourself, I need to be able to get to you.” At that I sort of understood why he wanted the door unlocked, but I didn’t like it.

“And lastly, I want you to come to me,” he pleaded, now cupping my cheek. “If you feel like hurting yourself, come to me and I’ll distract you. If you do cut, come to me and I’ll take care of you, baby. Please, just talk to me. Don’t shut me out, alright? Can you do that for me?”

“I guess,” I mumbled, looking away from his sincere gaze. “But don’t you think the whole door thing is a little much-“ He stared at me pointedly, an eyebrow raised as if saying ‘really.’ I sighed and my shoulders slumped, my eyes closing in frustration.

“Fine, whatever,” I growled. “But if you try anything I swear I will-“

“I won’t,” he cut me off. “I promise you, alright?” I was about to respond when my phone beeped, signaling a text. I shoved Liam back a little so I could lean over and grab it, swiping the screen and my eyes going wide as I saw ‘UNKOWN NUMBER.’ With a shaky touch I opened the message, my whole body freezing as I read the short phrase.

‘They’re coming for you…’
