[SELF HARM WARNING]
Your P.O.V
My issue...never truly got better. Every time I had to wheel Nick around the house the more it started to pain me more. Right now there wasnt much I could do as I was holding Nick in my arms, like all of the world was out to get him and all I wanted to do was keep him safe. I tried to focus on the screen but suddenly my vision was getting blurry. I heard voices yelling my name, and suddenly everything was white. The only thing I could really make out was a small figure standing next to me leaning over me, yelling in excitement or worry as my eyes twitched a little.
"(Y/N)?" Nick said a little loud as he snapped his fingers.
"What, yeah I'm alive?"
"Good." He responded blankly as he hugged me. Things like this have been happening often, and I cant make out if it's from the demons haunting me because of what I've done...or memories. This has only happened maybe 3 times not counting just then, and they all seemed so vivid each time.
"Ow!" Nick suddenly yelped as I looked down at him. He looked at me smiling trying to play it off like it was nothing, but I knew I had hit his legs by accident. Even though there is a temporary paralysis, it doesnt affect his nerves. His legs can't move, yes, but he still has feeling in them and they have become very sore. I excuse myself to the kitchen before kissing Nick on the head, laying his legs on the couch and walk into the kitchen. Grabbing a knife and quickly pocketing it, I walked to the bathroom.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Just enough to keep me alive." I hummed to myself while crying and smiling, putting 5 more cuts into my arm.
"SHIT!" I yelled as I accidentally dropped the knife, right into my damn foot!
"You alright?" Nick asked concerned.
"Yeah!" I lied back. Washing off my arm and picking up the knife I cleaned it and made sure to hide it in the sink, as well as clean up any remaining blood.
Hiding the knife and exiting the bathroom I walked over to Nick smiling but he was even more concerned.
"(Y/N) why were you crying?" Nick had asked. Shit were my eyes still red?
"Was I crying? I feel fine." I said sitting by Nick. He crawled over and rested his head onto my lap as I stroked the fur on his forehead.
"(Y/N) I can tell when you arent lying. Is it because of what happened to me?" Nick asked. I didnt want to answer that, we both know that's the reason but I dont want him to feel like me crying is related to him. Hes not something to be upsetabout, I should smile at the thought of him! But, after putting him through so much I just cant...I decided to just look away from him, I couldnt handle it. Nick grabs my face and forces me to look at him, as he has a angry look on his face.
"N-nick what is it?" I asked confused, what's with the nature change? Nick slowly reaches his hand and starts to rub my arm, what is he doing?! Suddenly he squeezes my arm and I yelp a little in pain. Taking that as a sign he pulls up my sleeve. I quickly cover it as he has the most pissed look I have ever seen before, and that's just from him!
"(Y/N) WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?!" Nick screams. I don't like when hes mad at me, but I can barely talk. Then I look at him again, hes not even mad, hes crying.
"Nick no no no please dont cry none of this is for you to worry about!"
"...not for me to worry about?"
Well fuck that's not how I meant to word it. Nick looks at me sadly and I quickly hug him and start to apologize
"Nick I mean I dont want you to be upset over this! I know you have a right to be concerned but please dont cry over me! If I try to stop will you stop crying?" I ask. He weakly nods his head yes. I quickly go on my phone and schedule for a therapist. Well, Nick for whatever was getting annoyed being treated like a kid. Hell I enjoyed it. Thus, AGAIN, Nick was on the couch holding me tightly. It...felt nice, and made me a lot calmer. Slowly me and Nick fell fast asleep on the couch.
~Dream State~
Where am I? Is this a hospital? That's uh, new?
"Doctor he responded to the singing!"
a womans voice yelled with hlee. I recognize that voice, it's on the tip of my tongue I just cant make it out.
"What he finally responded?" A third person in the area chimed in. It was a man, I cant make out what he looks like but I knew his gender from his voice. They all 3 made their way to a hospital room. They looked down on a younge man smiling. I move a little closer. I cant quite make ou- wait. IS THAT?!
-Real world-
I leap awake in a cold sweat.
"DAMNIT" I screamed, waking Nick up with me.
"What is it..." he groggily asks. I know it was rude to wake him up but it's time to wake up anyways. Nick was scheduled for a doctor's appointment to check his legs proggretion. Its was...9:50? Yeah that sounds right.
"Nothing." I said to Nick. He leaned up for a kiss but I pushed him back to the couch.
"No." I refused, "you have morning breath." I said laughing. Nicm dramatically grabbed his chest and put a hand in his forehead.
"How dare you leave me so heart broken." he whines and flops back onto the couch. Lightly punch his shoulder
and get up to start the morning.
-Time skip after early appointment
Nick can apparently kind of walk. I say kind of cause it hurts a little so he cant go long distances. Great now his lazy ass can do some work around here! Regardless, I'm just glad he's feeling better than before. My therapist appointment should be Saturday, and we go back to work next Monday. In the meantime I'm slowly collecting information. These people I'm seeing in my dreams are connected to something, but I can't figure out what it is. A dream? Alternate reality? It might even be my past life. Regardless of what the dreams mean, I want to be happy for now, with Nick. The one person in any life that's made me so happy.
