War Teddy Bear

(Notes at the end)

Applejack banged on a door hoping to get a response from the person inside. When she didn't get a response after 15 minutes of banging, she decided to do what she normally wouldn't do. She broke the door down. Looking around the house, her heart raced as she searched each room in the house until she came to a locked bathroom.

"Rainbow?"

No response.

"Rainbow are ya' in there Sugarcube?"

Again no response. She banged harder, briefly wondering if she was going to have to break another door down again. When she heard the sound of silent crying, everything in her told her to break the door down and hold the love of her life never letting go. It wasn't until she heard the door unlock and was greeted by a tear stained girl with cuts on her arms. Applejack felt her heart break when she saw the marks on her skin along with older ones from past battles, she took her hands gently, carefully raising them to her lips planting a soft kiss on both.

"RD....why didn't ya' come find meh?"

"C-Couldn't find you"

She held her head down, using her bangs to cover her eyes. She couldn't bare to look at the taller girl, the thought of disappointing the only one that made her feel alive, the one to always cheer her on, the one to keep pushing her or to hold her back when she's going to fast, the one to help her breathe, fight, smile. She just couldn't bare the thought of being so weak that she gave up so easily, that she just gave into her urges so fast without a second thought.

"I'm so weak..."

Applejack could barely hear what she had said since she whispered it. Rainbow clenched her already bleeding fist before punching the already cracked wall finally putting a hole in the tile, releasing an agony filled screamed as she cried yet again. Applejack's eyes widened. She grabbed Rainbow by her waist picking her up just enough to push her away from the wall, wrapping her arms tight around the shorter girl. Even though Rainbow was hitting her fists against the blonde's chest, tears streaming down her cheeks like waves as blood from her cuts got on the blonde's shirt, she didn't let go.

"Rainbow calm down yer gonna 'ave a panic attack"

"I'M FUCKING WORTHLESS!"

Rainbow suddenly screamed out as she threw her head back hitting the wall enough to cause her head to bleed.

"Rainbow! Stop!"

"APPLEJACK! MAKE IT STOP!"

"RAINBOW CALM DOWN! YER GONNA KILL YERSELF!"

She couldn't hear her. The pain in her head, arms, and fist were nothing compared to the pain in her chest.

"I WANNA DIE! LET ME DIE! I WANNA BE WITH MY BROTHER!"

She wanted to die. To end it all. She couldn't bare the pain in her chest anymore. The thoughts in her mind were eating her alive as she tried desperately to grip the one holding her in strong arms. She wanted to fall. She wanted to give up. She was awaiting death but didn't want to let go. AJ didn't know what to do. It never got this bad before, what caused her to go down the rabbit hole this far? Who did this to her?

"A-Applejack...."

"Ah'm right 'ere Dashie...jus' calm down ah' ain't lettin' ya' go"

She didn't know what to do except hold onto her tight and keep her away from anything she could use to hurt herself again. What do you do when all you can do is watch the one you love fall apart? She didn't know. All she could do was whisper sweet nothings into her ear, hoping to Celestia that her girl could hear her.
