English Rose - Alycia Debnam Carey

Together

My eyes opened. Slowly, heavily. I recognized my room from the dark silhouettes playing by the soft lights from the room. I felt a warm embrace around me, holding me tight like if this person was afraid to let me go. No memories emerged at first until I started to move, open my eyes correctly. Alycia was my warm embrace.
-Hey Y/n baby... Shhh don't move too much...
I groaned, not understand the sudden concern in her voice. She moved to face me properly, cupping my face.
-How do you feel?
-I... My head hurts...
-Yes you fell... Do you remember anything?
-Yes I do... James came and got mad... Where is he now?
-He's at the police station, that's all I know. How about you?
-I feel dizzy...
-Yes your head hit the wall violently... And... You needed stitches... But you're good now!
-Really?
-Yes... You were unconscious the whole process...
-Oh...
-Now please rest... I don't want this to get terrible...
The back of my head was hurting, I felt like my heart migrated to this point and starting to beat way much harder. I felt tears watering my eyes as I thought about this.
-Hey baby it's okay now, he's gone, you're safe...
-I... I can't believe this happened... How could he do such a thing? He used to be so kind, so gentle... I don't understand...
I said sobbing as she brushed off my tears.
-You know, sometimes, people are able to do crazy things when their feelings take the whole place in their body, in their mind... They just let it consume them... Love can do that but as much as sorrow and pain...
I didn't say anything, I simply let myself drown in her embrace to fall asleep again until the morning.

The sun was warming my face, piercing my eyes by it's warm colors, lightning partially the bedroom. The memories of yesterday night rushed in my mind, playing on repeat as the wound rhythm them. I tryed to erase them but they seemed to be written with the deepest of ink...
I took off the covers and landed my feet on the wooden floor. I didn't mind having breakfast or anything else, I walked slowly to the bathroom and turned the shower to a hot temperature as I started to strip. No expressions were shown on my face as I felt the water hitting my body, drops falling on my shoulders, rolling to my legs. I put my head under the water, closing my eyes, feeling a soft pain as it passed on my stitches. I rested myself by placing my hands on the wall, letting the water wash these memories, the sweat, the fear, the yells. I opened my eyes, I saw the blood mixed with water traveling on my body, I let my fingers feel for the first time the fresh wound, pure blood erupted from it, coloring my finger. I felt my heart racing at the view, realizing how actually bad was the damages. At this moment I heard the door opened, Alycia entered to cheek on me, if I was okay. I look at her, my eyes screaming for any kind of help. She rushed to the shower, not bothering about her clothes anymore as she didn't change from last night. As her arms wrapped themselves around me, the small amount of energy was body left, falling in her arms as heavy sobs started to erupt uncontrollably. My body forgot any kind of feelings and only focused on the pression, the fear, the pain I had, letting all out. She was holding me so tight, so hard, she didn't know how to hold me anymore so she tighten her grip every second, every sobs. She didn't say anything. She was just here. Trying to take the pain away. I knew at this moment that she was the only one I wanted to spend my life with. I couldn't care less about anyone else. She had my back, my heart, my whole soul. My everything.
