WIP Wednesday
I'm trying to be more productive, so I'm going to post one of these every week. Today's is a small section from "Knowing is Safe" Part 3. It's a flashback of cutie's past.
Trigger warning for anxiety, paranoia, emotionally abusive parent, neglectful parent.
Shes not going to
She did last time
And the time before that
And the time before that
And all the other times
She's tired of it
But she threw us out
It's not our fault
Yes it is
We blocked her
We stopped her from reading our mide
Stopped her from protecting us
But I don't want her to continually be in my mind
I want privacy
I want to feel like I can
Think without being heard
Be myself
You can
Not with her in here
she s your mom
But it hurts
What was that?
A twig
Snapping
A person
Where
I can't see
It's too dark
I'm scared
I want mom
“MOM! MOM SOMEONE IS OUT HERE. PLEASE LET ME IN. I'M SORRY I WON'T DO IT AGAIN.”
“THAT'S WHAT YOUR SISTER SAID AND WHERE IS SHE NOW?” Your sister
She's safe
She taught us how to block mom
She did this
No, she helped us
She can help again
You stop knocking on the door and start walking away. Away from home, away from your mom. You walked the streets in the dark, with no phone no flashlight, just the clothes on your back. Summer clothes.
Its cold
I know
I wish we had a jacket
Is this the street?
Yes
You turn down the street, wishing you were wearing warmer, longer clothes. When you picked out this outfit you didn't think you'd end up out this late, in the cold.
People
Bad
Its a group
Brown bags
Liquor
Eyes down
Keep walking
What do I do if they approach
I don't know
No weapon
Just our hands and feet
Keep walking
Keep walking
Speed up
Door
Inside
Sister
Safe
You open the door to the building your sister lives in quickly rushing to her apartments, even though no one was following you. You hoped you remembered correctly the first and only time you were here. Tears from earlier sprung back to life as you frantically knock on the door. Deja Vu from minutes ago, days ago, and weeks ago flood your mind as you recall all the time you were at your house door, begging, crying screaming for your mother to open the door. Today was the worst of it, shed never lock you out for this long, or this late, your knuckles were never this red and your voice was never this hurt.

Loneliness was always a part of their life
It was like they sign a contract, loneliness for strength and reputation
They forgot to read the fine print
They didn't realize the loneliness would always be there
Even when they out with a group
Or when with Quinn
One minute they'd pray he'd leave
The next, they are clawing at their chest to get the pain of being left alone out of their heart.
When Sam entered their life they thought it would be easier.
But those nights when they wake, alone. Their heart squeezes like it's pushing all of the blood out, trying to cut itself off from what keeps it working
Just like Darlin’
They know he's at work, they know that
But their chest doesn't get the message as they heave. Words they'd never say to another escaping their lungs.
Their so desperate to be held by someone
By him
There never thought of themselves as desperate
No one has
That's was the problem
No one thought about the effects they had on Darlin’
Because their strong
Built like a tank
A lone wolf
But they don't want that
They never did
No matter what teenage Darlin’ did or said
It was an act
A rebellion
A test for the pack
Many failed
But more tired again
And again
And again
Eventually, they let the pack in
But the loneliness they feel in the dark of their room
In the dark of their heart. Is something no one can change
That no one can heal

He was always pretty, but right now, with a bouquet of flowers that almost covers his perfect smile, he's radiant.
“Um, are you gonna- let me in I mean you don't have to but- uh you kind of- just standing and staring at me.”
You shake your head, Huxley laughs, could he be any cuter?
“You really are a dog!”
“Oh shut up.”
You step aside, to let him into your apartment. Your eyes linger as he passes by, he's wearing a wrestling tee, he loves shirts that show off his muscles, and so do you. He’s a big guy, tall and strong, but he's so soft.
You close the door, leaning against it.
It still surprises you.
Surprises you that he doesn't use his strength against you. In the beginning, you waited for him to stop pretending to be this soft loving man but every day he proved you wrong. You've got tired of flinching when he moves too quickly, tired of questioning what his true intentions are, tired of waiting for the moment he overpowers you, tired of not letting him in.
You watch as he calmly looks through your cabinets for a vase. A smile creeps up your face as you realize your anxiety is gone. Not completely but you don't have the urge to stop him, afraid that knowing your kitchen cabinets will be too much, that it would bring him closer. You laugh at how stupid it sounds now.
“ What- did- did I do something wrong- oh you don't like people searching your place- sorry dude- I was um looking for a vase. What?!- Don't laugh harder, what's so funny?”
You push off the door as you walk toward him.
“It's nothing, ignore it.”
His face scrunches into a pout, god you want to kiss him.
“I don't have a vase. So what and who are the flowers for? Did you finally get a date?” Your question hurts you. The two of you have something, you think. There's been flirting and hand holding, you feel like a teen, blushing over the memories of holding his hand. Though that's all, Huxleys is just- friendly, it's nothing, he was comforting you. Or that's what you thought but the way his face fell when you teased him, maybe you were wrong, maybe you ruined it.
“I- there for you.”
He holds out the bouquet to you, but his head is bowed down in shame, but you can see his face darken with blush.
“ What?”
You laugh out loud. That only makes it worse, he pulls them back. Turns his head away.
“Sorry- I must- I guess I miss understood, Um I'll -I'll just leave- with the flowers.”
He turns the rest of his body walking away.
“Huxs- wait- I- I'm sorry.”
“You don't need to be, you shouldn't be sorry for not - sharing my feelings. I know others make you feel- like you were wrong for that- but I'm not- I want you to be with who you love- or like- and if that's, not me I get it. Take care.”
“You like me?”
He finally turns to face you again, you hate how sorrowful he looks.
“ Yes, I thought- I thought that was obvious- the flirting–”
Once again you were surprised at how different he was, even know he doesn't lash out, you almost wish he did you were used to that. You knew how to deal with that.
“The hand holding”
He clears his throat, shocked you finished his sentence
“Hux’s, I thought that was just what you were like, with everyone. I mean why would you treat me differently, in a good way? I assumed you treated all your friends like that.”
He huffs, but not with anger but like a small laugh.
“ I've never flirted with someone before, and I don't go around holding people's hands- I - I only do that with people I like- romantically- I only do those things with you.”
The two of you stay still, staring at each other, taking in the moment. You can't imagine anything ever being more perfect. It makes you want to cry, but you don't.
“I like you to.”
The words quietly fall from your mouth and you don't know what you want more, for him not to hear you or for him to hear you. The words flutter to his ears and you can see the moment he registers what you say, as his face lights back up, with that smile you wish you could frame in your heart.
He slowly starts to move closer, and you panic, letting yourself ramble.
“I do- I'm sorry I was- like giving a mixed signal- I'm just- I've never been with someone so - soft- someone who waits- they've always been like straightforward- that too nice- they've always been kind of forceful so I thought- you know that's how everyone does it-”
Your words freeze when he gets right up to you, setting the flowers on the counter before his hand gently takes yours, his other hand moves, landing on your chin.
“ Darlin- Can I kiss you?”
Your heart skips a beat, but it's unfamiliar, you were used to your heart jumping out of fear. This wasn't fear, this was excitement, at that name, that question. It was the first time you heard either.
“Yes.”
You thought he looked soft, but you couldn't even describe what his lips felt like, how his body felt better than your bed. This is it, the kiss you read about when you were 10, in those fairy tales. The kiss you tried to pretend Quinn could give you. It feels stupid to cry but you do, you let the few tears slide down your face.
Huxley pulls away, and his hand reaches your cheek, wiping it away.
“ You okay?”
His voice is quiet, and like the rest of him, soft. You look into his eyes, and for once you're not afraid to cry, because it's him, and you trust him.
“I’ve never gotten flowers. Thank you.”
“No problem dude, you're my friend. You deserve flowers.” You blinked at Huxley, you didn't have to use words for Hux to realize why you were looking at him with a raised eyebrow
“Oh- well I didn't- your not just a friend- I just- I didn't wanna break a boundary, y’know?”
You can't help yourself from kissing his sorry face.
“I know Hux. But don't call me dude or friend again.”
“You got it, Darlin.”
