We got back to my place. I could help notice her smile and then wince as her cuts stung.
" Do you need some pain relief?" I asked her
"Hmm yeah" she said. I popped her two pills and gave her a glass of water.
"Mikey" she said.
" Yes " I said.
" Thank you..... really" she put the glass on the side and walked over to me. She kissed my cheek and then hugged me. Her scent made me want to stay like this forever. Her hair smelt like watermelon.
"You wanna go to sleep." I said as she let go .
"Yeah please " she yawned "have you got a spare quilt and a pillow.
" Erm you can sleep with me if you want ... Not like sleep sleep. I mean"
"I think I'd feel safer with you " she said " I have no pjs though"
"Just borrow a tshirt " I said " one of mine will be massive on you "
I walked to my room and found a drop dead tshirt
"Here " she caughtht it. She smiled
"Where's the bathroom" she asked
"End of the hall" I replied
"Okay" she walked away and I was left with my thoughts.
I sat at the table and tried to sort things out in my head. Her situation didn't make much sense to me at the minute . She was beautiful and I couldn't understand why someone would do that to her. And then I stupidly found myself thinking about what I would do to this guy if I ever met him.
And then my attention turned back to what was happening as I heard quiet sobs from the bathroom. I walked to the bathroom door.
"Ellie? Are....are you okay" for fuck sake Mikey there's that question ... Again! She obviously isn't.
" It looks horrible" she said " do you think I'll get scars"
My heart sank. That's what she was worried about?! Of course she would get scars. I didn't want to loe to her but I didn't want to hurt her feelings either.
"Yeah" I said " but you won't see them much! Stitches do a very good job of making things look like they aren't even there. You'll be fine. I promise."
She came out of the bathroom changed and sleepy. Her eyes rimmed red with emotion. Sh smiled trying to put a brave face on. I wanted to tell her she didn't have to. But she sighed and smiled
" I'm going to be okay" she said kind of like a chant, like she was saying the words over and over again in her heads, trying to convince herself.
" Come I said let's go sleep" I turned off the lights and she followed me to my room. She got under the covers and laid her head on the pillow. I changed into some shorts and a tshirt and laid next to her.
"Goodnight Mikey " she whispered.
" Goodnight Ellie" I whispered back
"Why are we whispering " she said her eyes closed. She giggled and the sound made me get a weird feeling in my stomach. She was asleep in minutes. Peaceful and untroubled. I gently moved her blue hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. She was so cute. In this light , the log of the lamp in the bedside cabinet, I saw her properly. Her tiny body , her pale skin, her rosy cheeks, her long hair. Hand something I hadn't realised before:
YShe was holding my hand
