"What are you doing outside? What's wrong?" I asked as I held the door open for y/n.
She gave me a small smile before she came up the stairs and into the house. I grabbed her hand and followed her in.
"You okay?" I questioned, raising my eyebrows.
"Yeah I'm great" she smiled.
I dropped her hand and moved my arm to her waist so I could bring her closer.
"So what do you want to do love?" I asked as I brushed my hands through her hair.
"Whatever you want" she smiled.
I smirked at her before I scooped her up bridal style and tossed on the couch. Y/n let out a shriek as I did.
My hands attacked her sides as she took in shallow breaths between laughter.
"Are you done?" She panted as she locked my wrists in her hands.
"Well I wasn't" I laughed.
"No" she tried to stop me but I had my hands on her stomach again.
Her shirt slid up slightly when I did. I saw something flash through her eyes before she grabbed my hands again.
"Please stop" she choked out.
I pulled my hands away from her stomach and placed them on her arms to pull her up.
"I'm sorry, what did I do wrong?" I questioned, searching her eyes.
My eyes trailed down to her arms wrapped around herself. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she stared at the ground.
"Sweetheart" I said as I brushed the hair away from her face. "What's wrong?"
"I just don't want you to see" she whispered.
"See what?" I asked. "Babe it's okay, you can't tell me anything. I'm not gonna judge you"
"'No you'll just hate me" I heard her take in a shaky breath.
"Babe you know that's not gonna happen" I replied.
Y/n took a deep breath before turning to face me. She slowly pulled her shirt up a tiny bit to reveal several cuts.
My jaw dropped as I looked back up at her face. There were tears rolling down her cheeks.
"When did you do this?" I whispered.
"Years ago. I haven't done it since I met you" she said.
"Really? I'm the reason you stopped?" I questioned.
"Of course you were Mikey" she attempted a smile.
"But why did you do it?" I asked.
I noticed the hesitation in her eyes and I couldn't stop myself from hugging her.
"High school was just really hard for me" y/n whispered.
I knew that would be the only answer I got from her.
"Where else did you do it?"
She suddenly pulled away and rolled up her sleeves. There were cuts all the way up her arms.
I gently took ahold of her wrist and kissed all the way up her arm. I did the same with her other arm before I pecked her lips.
"I wish I could have been there to help you" I mumbled as I shook my head.
"But we didn't know each other in high school" she responded.
"I know, I hated you in high school" I laughed. "I still kinda do" I shoved her back on the couch.
"Good cause I hate you too" She said as she tried to shove me back.
I dodged her swing which caused her to fall in my lap.
"Idiot" I laughed.
"That's fine, I'm good here" she smiled, turning over on her back.
I laughed and brought my hand to brush through her hair as she closed her eyes.
