Morgan looked down at my arms then back up into my eyes. I felt like collapsing. Morgan pulled me in for a hug and held me close to his chest. I could feel his tears splashing on the top of my head.

"Y/n/n why? Why would you do this? I thought you were done cutting."

"I'm tired of trying, Derek. The world wouldn't notice if I was gone. No one loves me. No one needs me. Why should I keep living?"

Morgan held me at arm's length. "How could you say that? How could you to me? Y/n I love you. I promise I do. I love you and I need you."

I shook my head and leaned back into his chest. "You'd be fine. All I do is cost money and fuck things up."

Morgan squeezed me tight and kissed the top of my head. "I promise you," he mumbled into my hair, "that I enjoy every damn second I get with you. You are never a burden, you are allowed to make mistakes, and I willingly spend time with you. I know hearing that isn't gonna change the way you feel, but I need you to know that."

I started to cry harder.

"Shh shh shh. It's okay. It's okay. Come on, let's go to bed, okay?"

I nodded, scrubbing my eyes.

Morgan guided me to my bed and laid down with me.

"Stay?" I pitifully whispered.

"Of course, y/n/n. Of course."
