Together [Lloyd x OC]

#19

Scarlett sighed softly as she sat alone, fiddling with her fork.

She was lost in thought thinking of what was going on and it made her stressed and caused her to harm herself.

Her thoughts stopped when a hand was placed on her head, "Hey kiddo."

She nuzzled into the hand letting the tears form in her eyes.

Cole had noticed the tears and hugged her tightly sighing, "Wanna talk?"

"I..." She said hesitantly looking away

How can she tell one of her uncles about her slit wrist? How can she when she hasn't told her dad yet?

"I'm fine, I don't have anything to hide."

"Are you sure?"

She nodded gently giving him a small thumbs up.

Cole smiled ruffling her hair a bit, "Alright, I'll see ya later."

She waved to him as she seen him leave, sighing heavily feeling really bad for hiding this from her family.

What can she do now?

What can she say to anyone about the problems bugging her?

Why was she so afraid of talking to her own family?

"Uncle Cole, everyone I'm so sorry for hiding everything from you all."

"I wanna tell you everything, I wanna tell you all about how I feel. . ."

". . . But I can't, and I'm sorry."

"I. . . I'm sorry. . . I'm so sorry."
