(Michael's POV)
She had vanished into our bedroom again. Kendal was always disappearing for hours at a time, even when I just wanted some alone time with her. I'd had a lazy evening planned; just the two of us cuddling on the couch watching stupid movies and stuffing our faces with pizza and other junk. And that's the beauty of our relationship. We don't care what other people think of us, we were just being us.
It was the fourth time this week she'd left me alone on the sofa. I was getting worried, so I went to our bedroom door and knocked lightly.
"Kendall?" I called. "Are you okay, baby?"
"I'm...fine, Michael, don't worry about me," she replied, voice cracking. Kendal's voice never cracked unless she was crying.
"I know you're crying, babe. Please, let me come in and talk to you; I can help! I'm here for you, always," I said a little louder, knocking again.
A choked sob.
"Kendal, I'm coming in," I told her. Without waiting for a response, I entered the room and what I saw shocked me.
My strong, beautiful girlfriend was crumpled on the floor, clutching her arms to her chest. Her soft brown hair hid her face from me. Her body was shaking from her wracking sobs.
"No, Kendal, no! Tell me you didn't! Tell me you didn't hurt yourself!" I cried, kneeling down beside her and trying to calm her.
"I-I didn't." She said, her words nearly incoherent.
I sat Kendal up so that she was facing me. She looked at me with tear-filled green eyes and makeup running down her pale cheeks.
Slowly, I pulled her arms away from her chest. Where I expected bloody slashes, I saw black ink scrawled up and down her arms.
"Fucker!" they read.
"Hit a vein!"
"You really think he loves you?"
"Kill yourself!"
"It's all true," she whispered, no longer looking at me but at the words she had written upon her skin.
Suddenly I was angry.
"How could you think any of this is true?! Kendal! I love you, I love everything about you! WHy would any of this be true! You're beautiful and perfect and there is no one else in this world that I would ever dream of being with," I told her.
I took her face in my hands and made her look at me. I leaned in close.
"You are mine, okay?" I asked. "And I am yours. I will be here for you no matter what. Always. I love you, more than you will ever know."
Kendal nodded.
"I know, Michael," she replied. She wiped her tears away. "I love you too, Mikey."
Smiling, I kissed her. Everything was going to be okay. I was going to take care of my girl
