Slipknot Imagines

Promises: Sid x Reader

You couldn't help but look at yourself in shame...

Why does he do this?

A tear slid down your cheek, observing the bruise on your arm from your boyfriend.

You touched your back and felt the whip marks still popping out, still puffy, and marred with blood.

You were scared, but you couldn't leave.

"He'd get mad..." You thought.

You looked at yourself and noticed how much you've changed since you've been with this monster. You've had to even give up friends just for the sake of your relationship, even makeup, even the stuff you usually did.
     He made you stop exercising, stop eating much.

Fuck this... I'm leaving.

You grabbed 2 suitcases and stuffed your clothes into them, along with shampoo, your toothbrush, toothpaste, and so on. You looked at the nightstand, a picture of your 2 year anniversary stood out. Haunting you...

You grabbed it, observes the finely crinkled edges. You ripped the photograph in pieces, going to the toilet and flushing them down the toilet.

You went downstairs, bringing your suitcases and setting them down by the door. You looked at your sleeping dog, (D/n). "Come on boy..." You whispered softly, waking him. You grabbed his leash and dog food and toys and treats and put them in the car, along with your suitcases.

You let the dog crawl into the backseat of the car. "We're not coming back here, (D/n). That's why I'm taking you with me. I love you too much to leave you here."
You said to him/her, petting their ear and giving them a light scratch.

You close the car door, and jump into the drivers seat, slowly driving off. Away from the house. You arrived to the bridge, you parked by the lakeside. Your phone began to ring, Sid it read. You answered it.

"(Y/n), you promised me you'd leave him." Sid said, you swallowed the lump in your throat. "I did." You said weakly, your eyes becoming weak and slightly attacked by tears. "(Y/n), I know it's hard. But you gotta trust me on this one, he's not the one for you. You shouldn't be living in that kind of home, with someone who's going to abuse you and throw insults at you whenever he pleases." Sid said, you closed your eyes and leaned back.
     "I'll be at home, ok? You can come stay with me." Sid said, "Thanks, Sid. I'll be there in a while." You said.
     You started up the car and began driving to Sid's house. 20 minutes later you arrived to his house, you got out of the car and let (D/n) out, walking her into the backyard, you got him some of his toys and got him water.
     You walked inside, taking off your shoes. Sid was standing by the kitchen with a cup of tea, he set it down at the nearby table. He opened his arms, you literally fell into his arms. Bursting out into tears.
     "It's ok, (Y/n). You're away from there now. He can't do shit, besides, if he wants to get to you, he'll have to go through me first." Sid said, embracing you. "I promise I'll keep you safe from him, I'll do whatever I can to protect you." Sid said. You hugged him.
     You knew you could trust him, he's been your friend since you were 14. Now, you being 29, and now he's 34. You two have been friends with benefits, you always told yourself you knew you'd never be nothing more than just a friend. He was just being friendly. Right?
     Your phone began to ring, you pulled from the hug. 'Asshole' It read at the top, "Give me your phone." Sid says. You give it to him, he answers it.
     "(Y/n)!! Where the fuck are you?!?! You better get the heck back here right now!! You b-" Your "boyfriend" said, Sid cut him off, "Listen bud. (Y/n)'s been through enough of your bullshit you put her through! She isn't your goddamn slave! You fucking abusive cunt! Someone like her doesn't deserve to be treated like such shit, and someone as beautiful as her shouldn't be treated like shit..." Sid said, looking at you. You looked at him, slightly blushing.
     "By the way David, I'm done with your ass. Enjoy your life!" You said, Sid hung up. He blocked him on your phone, and all social media. He put down your phone. He looked at you, he slowly wrapped his arms around you. "There... No more of that crap anymore." Sid said, "I made a promise to myself..." He said. You looked him in the eyes, "Yeah?" You asked, "I promised myself I'd take you out on a date as soon as you left him for good." He said. Your eyes widened, your heart began beating fast.
     The man you looked up to, the one who protected you, the one who actually believed in you, actually wanted something to do with you. Something special. Not just a one time thing. But something meaningful, you actually felt important for once to someone. Sid embraced you, you held onto him. "I love you." Sid says, you rested each other's foreheads on one another's. "I love you too, Sid." He smiled. He put his hands on your hips, you wrapped your arms around his neck. You both leaned in. Pressing each other's lips against each other's. You felt everything that you felt vanish, your worries were gone, your broken heart was no longer broken, your fear of loving again was gone, the fear of not having Sid was gone...
