-moral of the story///(light)travis×cooper
chapt. 01/02

i stand there, outside of coopers house; body frozen, unsure of what to do, why i'm even here in the first place but when i think of where else i could be right now & what could be happening to me i force myself to walk up to the door & knock. even though it's late- 11pm, i know he's still awake, or less better someone else is awake & can wake him up. i wrap my arms around my frame trying to stop the shaking either from the cold or what i just did- what i just escaped from, either way i just want it to stop. i jump practically out of my skin when the door opens but i sigh when i see carson,

"travis? what hap-" i interrupt him, i won't- no can't talk to anyone but cooper right now, i might owe carson an explanation but he can wait. i shake my head interrupting him,

"g-et c-coo-per" i whisper, my voice cracking a little, carson pauses a little then u hear him walk away, i mentally yell at myself for stuttering, he wouldn't lik- i stop that thought, he's not here & no one here will get mad at that. while i'm zoning out thinking about...him i look up & feel all the stress fall from my body when i see cooper. he looks tired, like he just woke up, & worried but i also see understanding that washes over his face the moment he sees me & the state i'm in, he doesn't say a word but opens his arms & i automatically go to him & hug him. i start to cry, unable to stop when i'm finally in a safe place- it's like everything hit me all at once, what happened,

"i-i lef-ft." i whisper & start to cry more, "i-i'm fr-ree, free." i sob into coopers shirt & he just shushes me saying i'm okay, no one will hurt me anymore & this time? i believe him, i feel so safe in his warm arms, his smell so familiar & unlike for the past 2 years i feel free, safe, & loved.

"you're free." he whispers but almost like it's not for me he's saying it for himself- reassuring himself that i'm finally free of that abusive cloud that was over my head.

for years cooper has been gently pushing me to leave, he would reassure me what was happening was not in fact normal, when i would be to scared to see a doctor for cuts & other things i went to cooper. most of our closer friends realized the extent of my situation after a year or so but i only & probably will only trust cooper with actual details so him finally seeing me escape? It's a huge relief for him.

"come on it's late, let's get you inside & clean you up okay?" he says gently & i nod my head,

"okay." i whisper, the adrenaline from everything is slowly running out & i'm starting to feel the black eye, cut lip, the small gash on my check & probably a bruised rib. he holds the sleeve of my sweatshirt & leads me to his bathroom.

i sit on the sink & watch as he starts to grab things & soon he leaves the bathroom, i hear him talk to, who i think is carson, probably explaining what happened. he walks in after a moment & smiles sadly at me,

"is there anything else i should know about?" he questions knowing that theres always more hidden unseen, my eyes move from him to the door, he follows my look & understanding flows over his face & he nods, he closes the door with a soft click,

"okay," he says softly, "now, is there anything i should look at?" he asks & i sigh a little,

"just a rib, i think it's bruised." i say looking down & he nods his head,
