No! Don't cry! Then Craig will know something's wrong. Calm down. Calmdowncalmdowncalmdown.
"GAH!" I reach up and start pulling my hair.
"Tweek? Dude, chill the fuck out," Craig says. I hear him stepping towards me.
"DON'T!" I scream. I crouch down on the ground, my hands still tied up in my hair.
I feel my tears go down my face. I start to shake.
Calmdowncalmdowncalmdown.
I feel arms wrap around me. I try to fight away from him. I know it's Craig trying to calm me down.
I feel him bump the bruises on my stomach, sides, and chest. I let out whimpers each time he does.
I wrap my arms around his neck and bury my face in the crook of his neck.
He wraps his arms gently around my sides. He pats my back, "Calm down, Tweek. It's okay."
"I-It hurts..." I sob out. I stop myself from saying anything further.
"Tweek?" He asks softly, I give a noise, to show that I'm listening, "What happened?"
"N-nothing..." I whisper. My heart is pounding. I don't want him to know.
"I don't want you to know, Craig. You'll leave me," I said before thinking.
