Cleaning The Wounds

Lenoras POV
I was so sceared that i couldnt stop sobbing but suddenly something wet and cold tickled my arm. I looked up and saw a little puppy pressing its nose against me. I lifted up my uninsured arm and pulled it closer to me. Slowly I callmed down with the puppy next to me. Soon i fell asleep on the floor.

Chris POV
"Do you think shes ok? Shes so quiet." i asked Ricky nervously. "Lets go and see" he said while standing up. We quietly walked in the livingroom and i had a little smile on my lips. She layed there cuddled together with Rickys dog and was sleeping peacefully. I slowly walked up to her and picked her up bridal style. And carried her upstairs to her bed. She was completely covered in blood. I slowly removed her flannel than her shoes. I was just about to put the blanket over her when ricky came in. "Put a sweater over her. Shell get cold in just a crop top and shorts." than he left again. I looked around but didnt see any sweater from her so I pulled off mine and put it on her.
I placed a small kiss on her forehead and went back into the livingroom. Ricky laid down on a couch and was already sleeping so i decided to do the same.

Lenoras POV
I woke up with a huge headache. As soon as I tried to move there was a familiar pain all along my arm. Slowly I remembered what happened yesterday. Why would Hayden do this to me?! But the bigger question was how did i end up in my bed. I slowly began to cry which ended up in a huge breakdown. The door swung open and I scurried to the back of my bed, closed my eyes and held my face in my hands. "N-n-no please d-dont." i begged. "Leni sh sh its me Chris. I wont hurt you i promise. Please let me help you" i heared Chris say but I couldn't trust him he would just hurt me like everybody else does. I felt him sit down on the other side of my bed but still holding some distance.

"Paralyzed by my envy of the night. I am lost without you here and outside it looks like rain
For the last time, I bleed myself dry tonight. And nothing I could ever write, would help you understand this life. There's so much beauty when your eyes lay lost in all the city lights
The wax will drip as so as blood, romance is dead and all is lust.
You are the water in my lungs, we've lost it. We are all alone." he sang quietly to me. I looked up at him. "Y-you remember i-it?" "Ofc i do love. You mean so much to me. Don't you see it? I'll do everything for you" he said quiefly and scooted a little bit closer to me trying not to scear me away. But i believe him for now. I believe him that he wont hurt me. "C'mon love let us clean you up" he said while holding his hand out for me to grab.

Chris POV
I hold out my hand for her and after a couple of seconds she hesitantly grabbed it. Her hand is so small in mine. I guided her to her bathroom and sat her down on the toilet seat. "Teak the seater and shorts off love." i said while grabbing for a towel which i dip in warm water. She just started at me. "Whats wrong?" "I wont take it off" she said. I kneeled down infront of her and layed one hand on her cheek. "Love you dont want to bleed on my sweater do you?" I smiled at her so she knows im not serious. She looked suprised and lookes down on her. "Oh" was all she said while she turned red. "Cmon put your cloth off so i can clean your wounds." She slowly pulled off the sweater. I carefully took one of her arms and looked at it. I heared her sniffle and saw that she was crying again. "Love you dont have to be ashamed of this we all are sick in some kind of way ok?" i smiled at her and she nodded her head. I slowly put the wet towl on her arm and washed all the blood away and cleaned the wounds. After both her arms are clean again i put some cream on it and bandaged it. "I- I.." she stubbled "yes love?" she fiddled with her fingers and looked down at her thights. "N-nothing im s-sorry" she sniffled "please tell me love" i asked her. She stood up and slowly pulled down her pants i gasped. She had really deep cuts on her upper thight so deep that you could see her flesh. She started crying now again really badly. The door suddenly opened and a women i didnt knew stepped inside. I quickly backed away from Lenora and saw that she stood there completely frozen and her gaze was on this women. "Out! Out of my fucking house!!! Both of you! Pack your fucking things,  grab your emo boyfriend and leave my fucking house you sick freak!" this woman said calmly. "Mom please" Leni cried out. Oh so this was her mother..and i guess she didnt knew that leni is a cutter. "OUT! RIGHT NOW! I WANT TO SEE YOU NEVER AGAIN!" she screamed this time. Leni lowered her head and noded. "Excuse me miss but you cant just throw your daughter out like this just because she has a hard time coping!" i yelled at her but leni put her hand on my arm and just mouthed a silence "no". "You have 15 mins to pack everything than i want you out of my house and my life!" her mother screamed while walking downstairs. Leni went quickly in her room and started packing all her belongings. I just stood no knowing if i should help her.
