Jiley-Our Realitionship Together

Promise me

James POV:
When Leia told me that she saw cuts on Rileys arm, I dont know what to think. Why would she do this to herself? We're in the appartment right now and I know I need to talk to her about it.
'You know you had me really worried when you went missing Ri?'
'I-I know. And Im sorry'
'Where did you go?'
'I stayed at Lost and found'
'Why?'
'I couldnt face comming back to the studio and I didnt want to come here of go to my moms so I went there. I snuck in last night and slep on the coutch. Then Leia found me today'
I sigh.
'Do you know how worried we all were?'
'I know'
I put an arm around her.
'Listen am...Leia was talking to me earlier and...um...she said she saw cuts on your arm. Whats that about?'
'I-I just cut myself on a peice of glass.Thats all' she says keeping her head down.
'I know you didnt do that. Show me your arm'
She moves away.
'Riley...'
'Im fine James'
I grab her arm and lift her sleeve. Im shocked. There are multiple cuts and they are very deep.
'I told you I cut myself on glass'
'If you cut yourself on glass there would only be one cut. Theres five on your arm'
She pulls away and stays quiet.
'Riley...talk to me. You cant be doing this to yourself'
'You have no idea what Im going through so leave me alone!' she shouts.
I sigh.
'Look. You need to speak to me. We can fix this and get through it'
'I cant do this James!' she says standing up.
'Riley please!'
She faces me.
'James I love you. I really do and I trust you with everything I say and do, but right now I cant talk about this'
She makes her way towards the door. I get up and block the door. We need to get to the bottom of this before she does anything stupid.
'James please move'
'Im not letting you leave untill we talk about this'
'I need to go!'
'Well Im not letting you! Im after finding out that youve been cutting and I understand why but...'
'Do you! Do you really understand why Ive been doing this!'
I put my head down.
'I wish I could say yes, but I cant. And thats why I need you to talk to me, and make me understand'
'Youll never understand! No one ever will!'
She then pushes me aside with a strength no one knew she even had and runs out of the appartment. I follow her.
'Riley!'
Im not letting her run off again. Who knows what shell do.
'Pleasd stop!' I call after her. She gets to the lobby. I grab her arm. She starts hitting me to try and break free.
'Let me go James! Please let me go!'
I keep a tight grasp. She finally gives up and collapses to the floor in tears. I turn to the receptionast.
'Call Amanda and Michelle and tell them to get here ASAP'
She nods and calls them.
'Hey its okay baby girl' I say rubbing her back.
She cries into my chest. Her hot tears soak my shirt as I try to comfort her. I hate seeing her like this.
'Riley look at me'
She lifts her head.
'We're going to get to the bottom of this and help you get better okay?'
She nods.
'I love you Riley. And Im going to make sure you get better'
She burries her head in my chest again. The girls come running in.
'Riley!' Amanda says shocked.
'Help me get her into the lift. We need to get her back upstairs' I tell them. They help me lift her and put her in the lift. They open the door to the appartment. I sit her down on the coutch.
'Get her tissues and some water'
Michelle runs off and returns with the water and tissues.
'Drink this'
She takes a drink from the glass.
'Can you talk to me about this?' I ask.
She doesnt say anything.
'Riley. If you dont speak to me, I cant help you'
She looks at me. I know shes uncomfortable talking about it with the girls here.
'Am...do you guyes mind waiting in the kitchen?'
They nod and leave.
'Now will you talk to me?'
She nods.
'Well...um...'
'Take a deep breath and take your time'
'Its not all because of Sloane. When she said what she said, it just brought back so many memories of that time and...I just feel so bad about it. It just made me think about how much I hurt you and nearly lost you and how you nearly died and...'
She starts crying again. I take her hands.
'Is this what its all about? You feeling guilty because of how you hurt me?'
She nods.
'Baby. Ive forgiven you for that a long time ago. You made a mistake and I get it. It happens to everyone'
'But I nearly got you killed James! Twice!'
I sigh.
'That may be true. But Im not dead am I? At least I dont think I am? Cause it all seems pretty real to me. Im definatly not dead am I? You should pinch me incase I am. Cause I need to know. I still havent written my will'
She giggles.
'No your not dead'
'Are you sure? Pinch me just to be positive'
She sighs and pinches me really hard.
'Owww!! Okay Im definatly not dead! Wow you have a strong pinch!'
She smiles.
'Look Riley. What happened happened. We have to learn to except our mistakes and move on from them. That way we can learn from them'
'But what if I cant move on from them?'
'Then Im going to be here every step of the way to help you move on. Its hard and I get it. I struggled too to move on after it all, but look at us. We're getting married and I couldnt be happier. But if this is going to work I need you to promise me that youll try and move on and stop hurting yourself'
She sighs.
'I-I promise. Ill try. But I cant do it without you'
'I know. And Ill help you when ever you need it. Okay?'
She nods.
'It will work out. I promise'
She smiles.
'I love you James'
'I love you too Riles'
She leans her head on my shoulder.
'Let me see your arm again'
She shows it to me.
'We need to clean that up. Ill grab the first aid kit. You wait here'
She nods.
I go into ghe kitchen to see Amanda and Michelle talking.
'How is she?' they ask.
'Shes better. I finnaly got through to her. I just need to fix the cuts'
'Did you talk to her about them?'
'Yeah. Shes promised to try and stop'
'Good'
'Thanks for helping out guyes'
'Thats what were here for'
I get the first aid set. I look at it and then back at them.
'Do...am...any of you know how to bandage a cut? I never got to take that first aid class that Riley wanted me to'
'She asked you to take a first aid class?'
'Sort off'
They smile.
'Come on you idiot. Lets get your girl fixed up' Amanda laughs.
We go back to Riley and see her alseep on the coutch. I smile.
'Am...we can come back later instead?'
'Yeah. That would be a good idea. Thanks guyes'
'No problem. Bye'
'Bye'
They leave. Im so glad that this can finally be sorted and that I can help Riley get better.
Hopefully with my help she'll be back to her old bubbly self again.
