The Little Things In Life

Things Will Fall (R.I.P)

Robin told me about his brother. He told me about how he died in his arms. I felt so bad. I could do nothing because it already happened. All I could do was hug him when each year slipped down his cheek slowly. I wiped away his tears and I held him all that I could. I wish I could help him more but I just didn't know how. I hugged him and kissed him and listened intently to his every word.
"Robin I'm so sorry -"

"It's fine I -I should have told u before. I thought it would be better to wait but I couldn't anymore."

"No don't apologize."

"Christy, when this first happened, when he died, I cut my wrists a lot. I haven't seemed to have stopped yet. And now that I have physically hurt Bruce because he physically hurting someone else, it makes me think that I'm just as bad as the people that hurt my brother. I-I cut myself again. "

Robin lifted up his shirt sleeve and I saw six cuts on his arm. I looked at him and even though I had already been crying I bursted into tears. At that moment I grabbed his arm and kissed it. I hugged him and We cried in each other's arms.

~1 hours later~

~Robins POV~

I woke up with Christy asleep on my chest and my eyes and nose burning. We had been crying for a long time and I guess we fell asleep. Austin was not in our room anymore so I guess someone put him in his bed. I went to get him and I picked him up. I sat on the floor with him and I just held him. I lightly rubbed his back and he burped right in my face. I laughed which made him giggle and I turned around to see Christy in her robe smiling behind us in the doorway. She came in and sat with us. I sat austin on the floor to sit up and I pulled down my shirt sleeve. Austin put his hands out to me and said something in baby talk that sounded like "dah". I smiled and picked him up again. He hugged my neck and I hugged him softly back. I set him on the floor again but this time on his feet. I held on to his hands but he then let go of them and stood by himself. He grinned. He crawled to Christy and got on his knees in front of her.

~Christy's POV~

Austin got on his knees in front of me and started grabbing my shirt. I picked him up and started feeding him. I started talking to Robin and then Austin finished. I set him down watched him playing with his toys. A day that started out so depressing turned out to be pretty good.
