Whirlwinds and Butterflies

I messed up.

Link's annoyed at me again and he just left to go to work. I'm just hoping that when he gets back, he's calm and normal again. I feel so bad… I should do something to make it up to him.

What did I do?

He went to sleep at 4 AM today and said that he was going to wake up at noon to have enough time to take a shower and eat breakfast before going to work. I like cuddling with him when we sleep, though, so I asked if he could hug me and he did. When I woke up at 2, though, Link wasn't there, so I went to go check where he was.

He was in the kitchen, making himself some eggs.

"Do you need help?" I asked. He didn't answer. I bit my bottom lip, worried that he was upset. "If you want, I could finish making them." No answer again. I looked down at the floor and bit my lip a little harder. "Have you taken a shower yet?"

"No. And I'm gonna be late now, cuz of you."

I started shaking. I always shake when there's even a slight hint that Link is mad. I don't do it purposefully. I'm just scared of him hurting me again.

"Why's it my fault…?" I asked, my voice almost a whisper. I had a tendency to talk more quietly whenever Link was mad, too.

"I woke up in time, but because of you, I couldn't get out of bed."

"Did you try waking me up…?"

"Twice. You wouldn't wake up, or even move."

"Oh… I'm sorry. I didn't… mean it." I said, starting to feel really bad. "How did you try waking me up?"

"The same way I always do."

"Oh." Was all I could say.

After that, I just went back to the room. Link came in and ate his breakfast, then took a shower and left a little after 4:30. I talked to Mario for most of the day and watched some movies. Then I decided to dress up nicely for Link. He loves it whenever I'd do that.

While I was putting my make-up on, though, I got a message from Marth, Link's best friend. He was saying we should all hang out, since he hadn't seen us for a really long time. I said that I'd talk to Link about it and that if we do, that we should go to a restaurant or something, since Link didn't take me anywhere anymore, these days.

After telling him that, I'm assuming he got worried, since he started asking me if everything was okay and that if Link had beat me up anymore.

I thought about it for a few seconds. He had hit me two days ago and I had a bruise on the side of my stomach and on my knees, but I didn't want to tell him about it. What if he threatened to call the cops on Link again? I couldn't have that happening again. I said that everything was fine and that he was being really nice to me.

He seemed a little suspicious, but he said that it was good that he wasn't hurting me anymore.

Link just got home from work, so I should stop writing before he tries to read what I'm writing.
