'"Can you do me a favour?
Can you read this aloud and record it for me please?

You don't have to but..
Ok thanks.
Yep, the whole thing.
Sorry it's..
Oh ok.
Thank you"

"Well,
Here goes.

'I pull their sleeve down to reveal a big Bandage on their hot chocolate coloured skin.

"What's this for?"
"Oh uhm... it's just..uhh..."

I ripped it off causing a squeal to escape Brey's mouth.

In place of the bandage was scars all going horizontal.

Brey screamed and attempted to pull away their arm.

"GO AWAY! IM OKAY!"
"oh.. OH MY GOD. WHA..WHAT HAPPENED?!"
"I TOLD YOU ITS NOTHING!!"
"CLEARLY IT ISNT NOTHING! WHAT HAPPENED?"
"i need to go to the washroom."

They managed to slink out of your arms and basically run away to the washroom.

You busted the door. Well more like opened it. You were greeted to a defeated Brey and a razor slicing across their wrist.
Eyes widened, brows furrowed, and they fell.

You ran towards them and hugged them close.
You held their wrist.
They flinched away slightly but slowly fell calm to your touch and gave up.
You held up Brey's wrist and kissed it lightly.
They blushed.

So red.

You kissed their cheeks.
They blushed.

So red.

You picked up the razor and threw it away.
Tears fell from Brey's eyes and you kissed them away.
"It's okay. I've got you."
You pulled them close and kissed them on the forehead once more before picking up their small figure and carrying them to your bed and falling asleep beside them.'"

"What was that all about?"
You looked down at Ana's arm as she went to grab her phone
to see a bandage.
She mouthed 'thanks', grabbed her phone,

And                          the recording.
