Truth In Words ✓[Secrets Book 3]

[Chapter Twenty-Eight] Liam

"Make sure you bring the dishes out." She yelled as I headed back to the room we were staying in and I pushed the door open and then dropped the plates and I barley heard them shatter as I rushed over to her and she looked up at me and shook her head

"I'm not strong, I'm not brave I can't do this." she looked down where she had a blade held to her wrists, the sharp metal digging into her skin and there was a little bit of blood going down her arm now

I got down on my hands and knees and crawled over to her, she had positioned herself in the corner and she rocked as she pushed it deeper and if she didn't stop it now I don't know what we would do

"Baby look at me, look at me. I love you and I need you. Please give me the blade, please." I begged her

"It doesn't even hurt anymore." She said

"It's hurting me." I could hear them behind us but they were giving me space to try to get it from her.

"I can't, It's like they all raped me all over and over again, it just it's in my mind, they're doing it again and again that's how it feels every damn time I have to tell them what happened! I'm never going to be free, I'm never going to forget. The scars are always going to be there, my virginity is never coming back, they're there every time I close my eyes I just want it to stop." She screamed as she pressed it harder and I couldn't do this anymore

I yanked her arm and pushed her back onto the ground and I knew I was hurting her and I could feel her blood under my palm

"Let me go!" she screamed

"I am not going to let you fucking hurt yourself." I was pissed right now, I understand that she's hurting but I'm pissed at her because she would do this. Asher grabbed the knife from her and I let her go

"I hate you, I hate all of you!" she screamed and when she went to run I grabbed her around her waist and she kicked and hit but I held her against me until she just started sobbing again.

I know this happened to her but we all feel it, we all love her and seeing her in pain like this is killing us too.

"Well we all love you." Kalila said and she looked over at her and cried harder

"I can't do this." she said over and over again

"I need to clean you up." I said and I brought her to the bathroom while Lalan began cleaning up the plates and I washed the blood of her arms and I looked at it, it was bleeding a good deal but it wasn't deep enough to need stitches.

I used the butterfly bandages and pulled the skin together and put another one over that.

"I can stitch it if it needs to be stitched, just go back to my old home and everything you could ever need will be there, complete with psycho ex-fiancé." She said bitterly

"It doesn't need stitches." I washed her blood from me and she looked away. When we got back to the room the mess was cleaned up and I pulled my shirt over my head and tossed it in the laundry and I gently pulled her shirt over her head and her white tank top had blood on it too so I pulled that one off too and wiped the little bit of blood from her skin.

"Thank you." she whispered. I slid my hand up her back and unclipped that since she couldn't move her hand without pain to do it herself but I made sure to keep my eyes glued to hers and I pulled her sleeping bra thing over her head and then a shirt.

"You're welcome."

"Always the gentleman." She gave me a small smile

"I respect you." I told her and she sat on the bed and I pulled her shorts off too and then she stepped into her sleep ones.

"You should go talk to them." I told her and she nodded and gave me a kiss before walking to wherever they were and I changed into some shorts and sat on the bed with my head in my hands.

We had tomorrow off so I had to work and I would worry about her all day. This was all so messed up and I just didn't know what to do.

Addie always looked to me and I tried my hardest but sometimes I just didn't have the answers, I didn't know what I was supposed to do. She just tried to slit her wrists in front of all of us and that isn't normal or healthy or right.

She needs therapy bad and I don't know how she's going to move on at this point. I hope this trial does more good but right now it just feels like it's doing more harm and I pray to god that she wins this case because she deserves to, they belong in jail! But I also hope it goes the right way because I don't want her to feel like this was all for nothing.

I was so deep in this and I knew that, I chose this but it was just hard and for once, for just a day I wished it would just be easy.
