The Catastrophe (Credence x Reader)

chapter five

Newt eyed credences hand on hers but nonetheless looked back up at ____. "Why did you run" he asked once more, but quietly.

"I...I" she paused, not sure if she could do this. Instead she rolled up her sleeves to reveal the sectumsempra scars she had. "____! Why didn't you tell me!" His eyes started welling up with tears. "Who did this"

"J...just some kids at school. It. It doesn't matter anymore..." she murmured. He pulled her in for a hug, tears slowly falling from his face. "It does matter, because they've been doing this, from the looks of it, for a while.. ____ you should've told me sooner I could've helped you, I could've, I couldve.."

Credence stared at the two talking. Making him realize where she gets her caring nature from. He faintly smiled.

She pulled away from the hug and wiped away tears from her face. "Theres.. there's more." She finally said.

Newt stared for a second before crying more, "____... why didn't you tell me.. come on you two. Let's just go into a more secluded area."He said propping ____s case up and opening it. They went inside and credence sat down on the dining room table. "Please excuse us credence, I need to talk to my sister" newt said holding her hand and going into her room.

He sat down on her bed. He partially lifted the back of her shirt up and sighed. "____ why"

She stared at her lap and started crying again. "Because you and thesseus would've called me weak or just ignored it or said I was making a big deal out of it." She practically yelled.

Newt fixed her shirt and hugged her again. "Listen.. just because they did this... it doesn't make you weak... clearly you're strong if you can put up with this spell so many times... I just wish you would've felt you could talk to me. I'm sorry..." he said just sitting holding her.

She cried more and just held onto Newt. "It hurt every time. I couldn't do anything about it. I just sat there while they held me down. I'm sorry I left." ____ said wiping tears again. Newt wiped some tears too and cleaned his face with his shirt.

She got up and went to wash her face. "I want to stay here, in America. With Credence." She said suddenly.

"We can decide that later on, if we find a way to get you situated. If not, maybe you two can come home with me, which is where you should be..." Newt said quietly, while putting a gentle hand on her shoulder.

She nodded turning around to smile at him.
"Credence? Are you okay over there?" Newt said sitting down on ____'s bed.

Credence walked into the doorway. "Yes..." he said softly. Newt patted the space next to him. "Come sit down Credence"
