Stephen and I sit on opposite ends of the sofa. To keep me from going insane, I repeatedly imagine myself getting up and walking out, putting every detail possible into my little journeys, my arms wrapped tightly around my chest.

"stop doing that."

Stephen says, looking up from his book, making me stop halfway to the hypothetical mind door.

I look across the couch at him.

"stop what?"

"stop moving."

I sigh and get up for real.

"I'm going to bed."

"I'll be up in a bit."

I just nod and go for a shower.

I scrub my body completely clean, trying to get rid of every invisible mark left on me. I use the brush supposed to be for hands, very tough and wirey. It leaves massive pink welts up and down my body and I shake and dry retch into the drain. I grab my toothbrush and brush my teeth, sitting on the shower floor, water running down into my eyes and nose.

"y/n can I come brush my teeth."

Stephen knocks on the door.

I turn off the shower and get out, wrapping a towel around my waist and pulling my shirt on, my skin still wet.

"yeah go ahead."

I sit on the edge of the bathtub beside Stephen as he stands in front of the mirror.

I almost tell him.

"tell me what."

"nothing, don't worry about it."

He shrugs.

"mhmm."

His mouth full of toothpaste, he bends slightly to kiss me.

I sigh thankfully when he tastes only of spearmint and smells like shaving cream.

I know he knows there's something up with me but he won't push me to tell him.

Stephen takes a towel off the rack and drops it over my head, wiping the water off my face and drying my hair off a bit.
He pulls the towel off my face and pushes my wet hair back on my head.

He picks up the bathmat and turns off the light as we leave the bathroom.

I crack my knuckles and pull on pajamas before getting into bed and picking up my book.
Stephen gets into bed as well and kisses the side of my head.

"just say when you want to talk."

"yeah."

sorry for being so depressed lol this is all I could come up with.
