Love-it is crazy what it can do to you. It sometimes make you go against people that you care above and you end up getting hurt but at the end it is all worth it.
We are driving to Brody's house, his dad has called him 5 times already and Brody isn't answering any of his calls. We finally got there "Are you sure you want me here right now? Don't you just want to be with your family right now?"
"Of course I want you here with me, you are family." He said and I smiled.
When we went in his mom came and asked "Where were you both?" and then she noticed Amelia "Is this Amelia?"
"Yes, she is my sister."
"Hi there sweetie, Brody does your father know that you brought Amelia?"
"No and I don't care about what he says, I mean he has kept a huge secret from me."
"Brody, I am sure he will be glad that you brought Amelia home."
"Mom can we not do this right now, in front of Amelia and where is dad."
"Your father is at his office, they called him for something important, and sure Brody we don't need to do this right now. Meanwhile you go get some rest and I will get to know Amelia."
Brody went to his room and took some rest and meanwhile me and Mrs.Cooper were talking to Amelia.
Brody was playing with Amelia and I was helping his mom with dinner, then his dad came "Sorry I am late, I got caught up with work..." and then he noticed Amelia "Oh My God, Amelia you have grown up so much since I last saw you."
"Who are you?" She asked
"Amelia, that is our father."
"Why did you leave me at that orphanage for 9 years, do you not love me?"
"Amelia, it's not like that, you are just too young, you won't understand right now."
"Why does everyone keep saying that? Do you have any idea how I feel when I see kids with their families and having fun? It makes me feel like nobody ever cared about me." She said as she started crying.
"Listen Amelia, I know you are upset right now but I promise I will make it up to you. I always wanted to be a part of your life, I ask the people there to send me pictures of you. I send you gifts for your for your birthday and christmas. Please just give me this one chance."
"Okay, I will give you a chance but I cannot act like everything is normal and call you dad and all that stuff."
"That was the scariest movie I have ever watched."
"No, it was not." He chuckled.
"Anyway, want to go to my house I can cook dinner."
"Sure."
We finally got home
"You sit down, I will make dinner."
I made some chicken and pasta. We ate and talked and it felt like we were never apart, we connected the same we used to. Now, we were sitting on the couch, he had his hand around me and I nuzzled my head into his chest and then he noticed the cut marks on my hand "What is this, how did you get these marks."
"It's nothing."
"Have you been cutting?"
"Yes." I admitted
"How long have you been cutting? Why?"
"I don't wanna talk about it."
"Why not?"
"I just don't okay, can you just drop it already."
"Fine, when you are ready to talk about it just call me." He said as he walked out.
I ran to the bathroom and started cutting. I think one of those cuts were too deep and I shrieked in pain and Brody barged in.
Brody's POV
After I walked out I felt bad, instead of walking out, I should have helped her. I knocked on the door, she didn't answer and the door was open so I just went in. When I went in, I heard Nicole shriek. I ran up and saw her hand bleeding.
"Brody, what are you doing here?"
"It doesn't matter." I said as I rushed to get the first aid kit.
"I am fine, it is not a big deal."
"The amount of blood here causes me to think otherwise."
I washed the blood of her and put a bandage on the cut. "Now can we please talk about this?"
"Fine. after you had that accident, I started getting anxiety every time I walk past my ex-bestfriends, they gave me dirty glares and said thing like 'Not so strong without your boyfriend are you?' and sometimes they even hit me..." She said as she wept a little and I sat beside and wrapped my arm around her and she buried her head into my chest and continued "so a few months later, I started cutting myself and since then even if I got the smallest problem I just can't stop myself from cutting."
She started sobbing into my shoulder, I wrapped my arms around her tighter and kissed her forehead "Listen, I know it is gonna be hard for you to let go of this habit and stop your anxiety but it's all gonna get better, and I will be there with you and help you through it all."
