Manu Rios Imagines & Preferences

10. You're caught self-harming

*Trigger warning: self-harm*

y/n pov

Today has been the worst day in my whole entire life.
I just got home from work after getting fired.
Recently there has just been so much going on that it has just gotten out of hand.
My dog died a week ago, Manu is in Italy for a fashion convention and now I get fired.
I know Manu will hate me for going back to my reckless habits but it's the only way I will get some kind of emotional relief.
I go to the bathroom and enter the medicine cabinet and pull out the packets of cigarettes and razors.
I sit in my bathtub and light the cigarette and place it on my skin.
Without knowing it, I feel tears running down my cheeks.
After I have placed about 7 burn marks, I take my razors and cut myself a numerous amount of times.

I told y/n that I would come back home next week but I wanted to surprise her so I came home earlier.
I'm so exited to see her.
We haven't called or texted each other in 2 days so I'm also kind of worried.
I knock on the door and wait a bit before knocking again.
No one answers the door so I decide to go in.

"Y/N, I'm home baby!"
This can't be happening.
"Y/N?"
I hear him walk up the stairs and open the bedroom door.
"Shit..." i mumble.
you remember that you hadn't locked the bathroom door so you quickly try to beat Manu to the bathroom door but you were a little to late.
"Baby I'm......." his face slowly falls as he sees all the cuts and burns on my arms and the blood in the bathtub.
I began to cry even harder.
"I'm so sorry." I say through all my tears.
I didn't even notice he was crying at this point.
He picked me up and sat me on the counter.
He took the disinfectant from the medicine cabinet as well as the bandaids and an ointment for my burn wounds.
While he was cleaning up my wounds and applying the ointment, I wiped his tears with the pads of my thumbs.
"Why?" I hear him ask me.
"Why would you hurt yourself like this? I thought you stopped..."
I can hear the disappointment laced in his voice.
"I got fired today..." you mumble.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He says, looking up at you for the first time since he sat you down.
"No..." you say.
After he's done he tells you to go to the bedroom so you just obey him.
He heads over to the bathtub and rinses the blood out of it and fills it all the way.
He then puts in a bathbomb and adds some rose petals.
He also lights some scented candles and turns off the light.
"Baby, can you come here?" He calls.
You go the bathroom and you're completely flustered by his actions.
He motions for you to come over to him and he starts unbuttoning your shirt and he slides your skirt off.
He then takes of your bra and panties.
You feel really self cautious and cover up and bit but he takes your hands in his and lets your arms fall.
"You are so gorgeous. Please don't cover up..." he kisses your cheek.
You begin to blush but the dim light doesn't make it prominent.
He hold your hand and helps you get into the tub.
You make sure not to put your cut arm in the water so that the bandages won't get wet.
Manu sits on the ground next to the tub and just stares at you.
"What?" You ask him.
"I just don't know why a smart and beautiful girl like you would do something like that to herself. It hurts me so much to see you cry and I just wish I was a good boyfriend and took you with me on that trip."

"Don't blame yourself for this. You didn't know I was going to get fired and I said I wouldn't go with you. I just felt like the whole world was against me and that's why I did it. Not because you're a "bad boyfriend"."

"I love you." He says and kisses your hand.

"I love you too."
He then leans in and kisses you passionately.
