A Beautiful Disaster

Chapter 38

I walked through a hallway, passing a few other rooms. "She's in there", the nurse said as she pointed to a room in the back. I nodded. "Thank you.

I walked to the room and stopped. She was laying there, cuffed to the bed. I let out a deep sigh and walked in.

"Rae", she said as soon as she saw me. She say up. Tears formed in her eyes. A small smile appeared on my face, but it quickly changed into tears.

"What have you done?", I asked. She shook her head. "Nothing", she said. "You wouldn't be here for just nothing. I know what you've done", I said. I soflty grabbed her hand. "Don't", she said. I rolled up her sleeves. "Why did you do it?", I asked as I wiped away a tear. "Many reasons."

"Just talk to me about it, please", I said as I sat on the edge of her bed. She sighed.

"This all is just ruining everything. My career, my life and most importantly, us. I'm stuck in here, while you're out there. I was stupid to believe this would actually work. I had nothing to live for. I didn't want to spend another 5 years in here, feeling like this."

"I didn't break up with you because you're in prison. I broke up with you because you cheated on me. It's not right out there, and it's not right in here", I said. She nodded.

"I know. And I regret it so much. But you have to understand that being in here, makes you miss physical affection. And Macy was here and.. It just happened. I know it was wrong. And if I could go back I would. But I can't. So I can only try and make this up to you", she said. I nodded. "We'll see."

"Can you please promise me you will never do something like this ever again?", I asked. "Only if you take me back", she said. I looked at her and slowly shook my head. "I'm kidding. I'll do my best." I sighed. "I can come visit you once a week, so we can talk about everything that's on your mind."

She smiled and nodded. "I'd like that", she said. I smiled. "What about every thursday. I can work on different hours so I can be here in time", I said. "Sounds good." "I'll call my boss as soon as I get home", I said. She smiled.

"How is work actually?", she asked. "It's good. Same as always."

It was quiet for a little while.

"Could you, maybe, cuddle with me? Please? Just for a minute", she said breaking the silence. "Is that allowed?", I asked. She nodded. I sighed. "Just for a minute." I gently laid besides her and wrapped my arms around her. She sighed and held on to me, like she didn't want me to let go ever again. And to be honest, I didn't want to.

I shut my eyes, enjoying the moment when I heard a door shut. I opened my eyes and sat up when I saw a doctor. "Sorry to interrupt, but I was told you were here. I wanted to spesk with you in person. May I borrow you for a second?", he said. I nodded.

"I'll be right back", I said. I followed him.

"My apologies, I'm doctor Johnson", he said. "Rae", I said shaking his hand.
"She was lucky", he said. "She lost a lot of blood." I nodded.

"They said they might put her isolation for a while, where she can't hurt herself", he said. I shook my head. "She won't, I promise", I said. "I'll tell them, but I can't guarantee they'll do anything with it", he said. I nodded. "Thanks", I said.

I walked back inside.

"What was that about?", Demi asked. "They're thinking about moving you to a different cell", I said. "What do you mean?"

"They want to put you in isolation. I told the doctor you wouldn't do it again. So I'm making you promise it to me. If you'll ever do something like that again, you'll definitely go. No hesitation. Do you get that?", I said. She nodded.

"He said he'll try to keep you out of there now", I said. "Thank you."

"Do you promise me you'll never hurt yourself again? In any way." She nodded.

"I promise."
