My Lannan. My Lazarbeam. My Love. (Completed)

Everything

Emma's POV

Today was the day I got to go home.

Lannan called Kath and within 20 minutes she was there with clothes. I gave her a big hug and cried a little. I went into the bathroom and stripped off my clothes. I looked at myself in the mirror and yelped.

The girl in the mirror was thin, and full of bruises. Her neck and... area, were a deep shade of purple, and I could see every one of her ribs. Her eyes had bags under them and her cheeks were red and puffy.

I heard the door burst open behind me and turned to see a worried looking Lannan. "What's wrong?" He looked down from my face and his jaw dropped.

He walked over to me and turned me away from the mirror, holding me against him. He wrapped his arms around my thin body and said, "You are beautiful."

I cried into his shirt for some time, until he started to help me put on my clothes. I had been standing for a while, so he set me on the counter as he slipped on my clothes.

When he was done, he picked me up like a baby and carried me out of the hospital, having done all the paperwork with me earlier. He buckled me into the back seat, and went around to sit next to me. Kath sat in the passenger seat as our Uber drove us home.

When we got to the Click house, Lannan walked alongside me, offering me his arm. I told him I could walk by myself and slowly continued, wincing at every step.

I got to the door and Lannan held it open for me. When we reached the stairs I stopped and turned to Lannan, just looking into his eyes. He nodded and scooped me up, carrying me downstairs to his room. He laid me gently on the bed and sat next to me.

"Em we need to talk." He said, looking down.

"Lannan, I'm really tired. Can we talk later?"

He looked to me and nodded. "Do you wanna be under the covers?"

"Yeah."

He crawled over to me and lifted me up to his chest so he could move the blankets below me. He laid me down and pulled up the covers, sneaking in next to me. I snuggled closer to him and immediately felt better in his warmth.

He turned on his side towards me and I turned so we were spooning. He hesitantly put his arm over my waist and pulled me closer. I felt his warm breath on the back of my neck, and drifted off to sleep with Lannans scent all around me.

When I woke up, Lannan was not in bed. I looked around and realized that no one was here, and froze in fear.

This is how it happened.

No Lannan where are you.

"Lannan?" I call out.

Nothing.

I force myself to move out of bed, and with a shaky breath, I open the door. I walk upstairs slowly and hear voices. I hear Lannan!

I start to run up before I realize what he's saying. "No, Brooke we can't do this again."

"Please Lannan, just come here." She sounds desperate.

He sighs and I hear footsteps, and a closed door.

I feel myself shaking and I curl up in a ball at the top of the stairs, unable to move. I have no one. No, I have someone. I run to get my phone and call an Uber. I need answers.

10 minutes later I knock on Lannans door. Tannar opens it and her face changes from surprise, to confusion, to anger. At last she says, "Come in." I step in and take off my shoes. She leads me to the kitchen. "Sit." She says.
