-Crystal's POV-

I got inside drenched from the rain that I was caught in from the walk home from school.
I noticed Chris and Emily sleeping on the sofa.
I was gonna join the cuddle but I left them to being themselves.
I didn't want to disturb them and they needed the time to themselves.
I looked outside and noticed the washing that hung outside was getting soaked so I ran outside to fetch it.
I poured myself some tea and sat outside on the porch watching the rain treacle down the roof.
I lifted up my sleeves and looked at what I had done.
I sighed and let the rain drops cool the almost healed wounds.
I smiled as the pain eased.
"What are you doing" I heard Chris
I flinched and put my arm away
"Emily used to do that y'know"
I looked down.
"Why did you stay with Emily?"
"Honey we're just going through a tough time I-
"Not now, I mean back when you seen her arms"
"She seemed to be troubled when I met her. She wanted to punish herself and she never deserved a bit of it. No one should punish themselves in that way, or any way. I needed to stay by her and show her what she's worth"
"Did you think I was troubled when you met me?"
"I think everyone is troubled really, just people hide it better than others"
I nodded.
"I love you dad"
" I love you too kiddo"

The night swept in and it was dark before the family knew it.
Emily cleared the dinner table and Chris would walk in and out of her  way trying to help her in any way he could.
"I got it Chris"
"I just want to help"
"Okay, put these in the dishwasher" she said handing him some plates.
Emily tried to reach from the top cupboard by climbing on the counter.
Her leg slipped and she knocked over the set of knives.
"Shit Emily are you okay?!"
Yelled Chris getting her up from the floor.
"I'm fine. Just clumsy" she said running her bloody hand under the tap.
Chris picked up her and and wrapped it in a bandage. He kissed the back of her hand and rubbed it against her cheek.
She sighed,
"Is it sore?"
"No I just- your constantly taking care of me"
"That's why I'm here aren't I?"
"For Christa not for me"
"I take care of both of my girls actually. I would kill anyone that would hurt you two"
"Just feel like a child"
"Listen, no matter how you feel about yourself I'll love you just the same. You could stab me in the heart and I'll still be in love with you okay? It's fine don't feel like a burden"
"Where's crystal?"
"In her room probably" said Chris
"Is that what I think it is?" Said emily.
"What?-
"Shh" said emily grabbing Chris's hand and bringing it upstairs.
Emily peeped through the door of Christa's room finding her playing guitar on her bed.
Emily smiled as she rested her head on Chris's shoulder.
Chris smiled at the sight.
"I want to live today for the rest of my life"
Their lips met as they slowly became one again.
