Part 11

-Your Pov-

You slowly woke up in the morning, pain shooting through your entire body with every movement. As you opened your eyes, you looked around and then you noticed that you were in a room that wasn't your own. Panic entered you from waking up in somewhere you didn't really know, and then you looked around, trying to find any detail that identifies who's room it is, as you play to any god who will listen that it isn't Margaret's room. A sigh of relief escapes your lips when you see the Canadian flag design on the wall. No matter who's it is by this point, it isn't Margaret's, and that's something to be thankful for.

As you wake up more, you keep looking around to see more details of the room. The Canadian flag gives you a good sign, but you keep looking around for something that will confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is the room of someone friendly. Eventually, you let out a sigh of relief when you see a picture of the RWBY cast hanging out together. This makes you smile, each and every one of them is a friend of yours, but since there was the Canadian flag in the room, you're hoping that means this is Barbara's house.

Standing up, you limp your way downstairs, and then you manage to make it into the kitchen, and then you look over to see Barbara. She glances over, and then smiles at you, and then walks over a little bit concerned for you. Her arms open up, and then you go and hug her. She wraps her arms around you, and pulls you close to her. " You've been asleep for a while. I didn't want to wake you, but I was getting worried," she says, and she hugs you close.

" What happened," you asked confused, and then she sighs and keeps rubbing your back over and over again. She whispers in your ear that it's going to be okay, and for some reason those words make you break down crying. The entire time, Barbara doesn't let go, she just keeps stroking your hair and rubbing your back, not letting go no matter how much you cry into her arms. She just keeps assuring you that it's going to be alright, in a voice that makes you want to believe anything she says.

The two of you sit down, and then she offers you a cup of coffee, which you accept, and then you sigh and she thinks for a long time. " You have several concussions. The doctors told me you might have some trouble remembering some stuff from recently, especially traumas, so do you remember anything about your relationship with Margaret?" You nodded, and then she sighed. " Well, it was horribly abusive. She's the one who gave you the concussions. I beat the living shit out of her, and then she's actually in the hospital right now. I took you to my house, and I've been taking care of you."

When she says this, a flash of memories hit you, and then you nod. She sighs and then looks down and around the room. " You've been in and out of it the entire time, and so I called Burnie. The two of us have some time off, and it's all been paid for. He wishes you luck and a speedy recovery. And then your sister has been and out to visit," she says, and then you nod. " Anyways, Margaret didn't press charges against me. Do you want to press charges against her for the abuse?"

You froze up when she said this, which she noticed and then she nods. " Well, I think we need to have that conversation, but if you aren't ready for that right now, then the two of us can jut spend the day together. The doctors said it would help if we minimized the amount of time you spent alone, and so everyone in Roosterteeth has been in and out for it. You've been staying with me for it." You nodded, and then she stood up to hug you again, which you returned, feeling safe.

" I'm gonna take care of you alright," she promises, and then you nod and she holds you close. " I brought some things from your house that might make you feel better, books, stuffed animals and video games. I need to go out for groceries, but I don't wanna leave you here, so Arryn is on her way with food." You nod when she says this, and the two of you keep hugging, her grip managing to be gentle enough not to hurt you, but tight enough that you feel safe, loved and cared for her in arms. You never want to leave this place.

-Barbara Pov-

After lunch, (y/n) then falls asleep in my arms. The doctors mentioned to me that he wasn't going to have a lot of energy, and was going to fall asleep on and off all day. I smiled when I held him in my arms, and then I picked him up bridal style, and walked back to my room with him Gently, I set him down in bed, and tuck him in. I look at him sleeping, wanting to make sure it's a peaceful sleep, and then I sigh and climb into bed next to him to spoon him.

I hold him close to me, setting his head so he can listen to my heartbeat. As I hold him close to me, I hear my phone buzz, and then look over when I see a text from Trevor. I curse mentally when I realize I had to cancel on him again. I grab my phone, prepared to send a text to apologize, and then I read his text. " Barbara," it says. " I understand what he means to you. I'm lucky to have had you, you truly are an amazing person. You should be with the one you love, so please...be with (y/n.)"

I smile when I see the text, and then hold (y/n) close to me, and kiss his forehead, knowing how much I love him.
