A Growing Love

TW: mentions of rape and self harm

    I couldn't help but stay up late that night thinking about the giant wolf and the golden chain I saw dangling, that seemed to match one of the two coming from my own chest that I could see.

   My mind quickly thinking of Paul and the shimmery, translucent chains that I could see connecting us at our chest. The way I almost felt my heart leap out of my chest at the simple thought of him.

   When ever he looked at me I felt those annoying butterflies. No one had made her feel that way except, Damian briefly in the beginning of our relationship. Which made me apprehensive of Paul, but Paul was so different...I felt safe with him. Us being together just made thing easy...calm almost. What made Damian start to hurt me though? Would Paul hurt me too?

   Why had Damian begin to hurt me? Why did he always blame me, whenever he would hurt me. Flashes of memories came to mind, of coming home with my sides covered in bruises. He would knock me down, kicking my ribs because, he always tried not to hit my face.

   One explosive episodes with him, left a long scar on the side of my scalp where he had shoved me so hard against the wall that all the pictures fell, causing one of them to hit and shatter one my head. The white scar tissue, hair had always refused to grow there now.

   Rolling over to my side, I just lay there in the dark thinking about what had happened the last couple of days. Paul made my heart ache to be near him, we had been spending almost every day together, here recently.

   Sighing with the longing I had while tossing and turning. This urge deep inside wanted me to see him right now. Wanted me to be as close as I could get to him and never leave. I flung my myself up and  walked to my window. Sitting down on the padded bench that lay across the bottom of the window.

   When I looked out I saw the abnormally large silver, grey wolf peering back at me again, just looking up. Our eyes connected for a second. He stared at me for a while, then he ran off faster then I could see. My heart just skip a beat at an animal. What's wrong with me!

    Shaking my head, walking over to the bed. Crawling into the bed under my enormous blanket. Where I couldn't help but feel almost relieved that I saw that wolf. I wasn't scared of the giant beast. It was almost like it was there checking to see if I was alright and safe at home. I smiled and slowly drifted off into the oblivion we call sleep.

    I woke up the next morning, starting the day like normal. Getting up with a sluggish start. Then off for my long shower to wash and shave everything that needed to washed and shaved. Then out of the shower to do my hair and then make up picking out what I was gonna wear. I picked out a pretty flowery dress with a large cardigan, tights and my doc Martin boots. Sighing as I grabbed my stuff, I was happy all of the bruising had finally faded from my face. I smiled at myself in the mirror my fingers sliding over the side of my face, now I felt like myself. I looked like myself, maybe Paul would even think I looked cute today.

   Weeks quickly turned into months. Paul and Eboni had become unable to stray to far from one another it seemed.   Walking to every class together, laughing and carrying on with one another. Going over to each other's house to hangout and study, when ever Paul wasn't "working" Everyone seemed shocked to see Paul smile as genuinely as he had since Eboni had been there.

   Days that had began to meld together into weeks, and the weeks into months. The hesitation of Eboni's had slowly started to disappear the more they spent time together, they slowly started to show there affections and attractions to each other. Even went on a date or two when they both got over how nervous they were.
