Forever Mine

Chapter 40

Liam's pov:
I couldn't stop crying. I felt heart broken. How could I be such a terrible person to drive her to the edge? She hated me so much she wanted to die. She was willing to let go of everything that we worked for. I wanted to be angry at her. She put Wren and Liliah at risk. I couldn't be angry at her though. She was unstable. She wasn't thinking right.

I called Dr. Evans and he came right away. The cuts weren't deep enough for stitches but he said it was good I found her when I did. I called my dad and asked for my mom. I knew something happened like this to her. I didn't know what else to do so I called for them and begged them to come.

That look on her face. The sadness, the anger. She screamed at me. Begging me to let her die, screaming for me to get out. She didn't want me. I wanted to help. I wanted to be there for her. She didn't want me.

I had handcuffed her wrist to the bed because I was scared of what she would do. I was scared she would hurt herself again. I couldn't let her die. I know she didn't mean it. Her small wrist wrapped in the gauze. It made my heart ache.

Avery's pov:
I continued to sob until there were no tears left. I kept hyperventilating. Liz continued to just let me cry and be there for me.

"Avery, I know you are scared, tired, and hurt. You are one of the most resilient people I've ever met. I am so lucky to have met you. I can't apologize enough for what my son has done to you. I wish we never had to meet like this. I want you to know you are not alone in this. I went through something similar when I was pregnant with Ryan. I was scared, hopeless. I didn't want to live anymore. I didn't want to bring a child into this terrible world. It was one of the lowest points in my life. It made me stronger Avery. You are strong. I know it in my heart that we will get out of here. You are going to get your babies out of here. We all will get out of here. Don't let him kill your spirits. He is not worth it. I know you are tired, I know you want to give up but we will get out. They will all be put away. Don't give up now honey, you've come too far."

I was so lucky to have her here. For once I didn't feel alone. She understood what I was going through. I was at a low point in my life. The lowest I've ever been. I was depressed, and anxious. I was just so tired of living in this life. Liz was right though. I would get out of here. I would get out of here alive. With Wren and Liliah. I wouldn't let him ruin me. I had so much more to live for.

"Thank you Liz. Thank you so much. I don't know what I would do without you. You're the only one that understands. I love my babies so much Liz. I didn't want to hurt them. I just wanted to hurt myself. I'm not a bad person." I begin to cry again.

"Sh it's okay honey. I know you're not a bad person. I know you love them. You don't have to explain. It's all okay."

"I don't want to have to face him." I cry.

"I know love you don't have to. Don't worry. I'll keep him away." She reassures.

"Can you ask him to take off the handcuff please. I don't want to feel anymore of a prisoner than I already am. Plus I have to pee."

"Of course honey."

She sits up and heads to the door to get Liam.

Liam's pov:
"Liam?" My mom called from the bottom of the steps.

I quickly ran over to her.

"What's wrong?!" I panic.

"Nothing I just wanted the key to unlock her wrist. Poor thing."

"No. I'm too afraid she will hurt herself. I did it for her own good."

"Honey. You can't keep her locked up like that. She's going through a lot right now. I'll be with her. She will be fine."

"Alright. Fine. But I want to stay with her."

She sighs.

"Honey please. Just leave her be. She needs some space. I know you want to help her but by you being all over her it will only make her more angry. Let her come to you."

I hated that Avery didn't want me. I needed her. I wanted to hold her in my arms and kiss her. I hated having to be apart from her.

"Okay." Is all I can manage to say.
I began to walk upstairs to our room to unlock her. Mom followed behind me.

I could tell she was anxious. She knew how unstable Avery was.

I came in and Avery looked hopeful. As soon as she saw me she looked away. Her face went stone cold. She was waiting for my mom. Not me.

I let out a breath.
I walked over to her and looked at her bandage wrist. I tried to touch her cheek but she flinched away. She wouldn't even meet my gaze. As soon as I unlocked the handcuff she ran into the bathroom.

Avery's pov:
The blood was wiped up, the razor was gone, he removed the mirror and anything else that I could've possibly hurt myself with.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me."

"WHAT THE FUCK LIAM!" I scream.
"What's wrong?" He's banging down the door within a few seconds.

"Where is everything?!" I yell.
"I'm not some freak! I want to be able to look in the god damn mirror! I'm not going to do anything Liam! God get off my case!"

He begins to breath heavy. I watch his fists clench.

"Avery." His voice is cold.
"What." I spit back.

"This isn't the first time you've hurt yourself. I'm scared. I don't want to loose you. You could have died today! I don't know how to trust you anymore. You scared me to death." He begins to cry.

I didn't like seeing him cry. I walked out of the bathroom leaving him there.  He always found a way to make it about him.

"What are you afraid of Liam? That I'm going to slit my wrists again? Why does it matter anyways? I don't want to be here anymore. Why don't you just let me die?" I begin to cry.

He doesn't say anything.

"Just get out Liam. Get out of this fucking house. I don't even care anymore. I can't even look at you." I spit at him in disgust.

Liam's pov:
I walk down the stairs and my mom is looking at me with a saddened face.

"I thought you said not to leave her alone?" She looks at me worried.

"SHIT!" I scream and run back up the stairs.
