Jeff got worried as Dixie had been in the bath for a lot longer than usual, he went upstairs to see if she was ok, opening the door not expecting to see what he saw. Dixie had her arm out of the bath, and the razor was resting on her skin dangerously close to many different veins, making his body shake.

"Dixie…" She noticed him in the doorway, then looked to the floor. Jeff walked in slowly not wanting to startle her, until he was sat opposite her on the floor of the bathroom. The razor was still pressed against her skin, making a lump form in the back of his throat.

"Why don't you give it to me?" Jeff asked softly, as Dixie handed him the razor reluctantly he took it placing it on the floor behind him. Then turning back to Dixie examining her arms closely, it seemed he had just walked in in time.

"Why?" he asked not understanding why she was doing it, she shrugged her shoulders making Jeff worry even more. He could see she was shivering where the bath water had gotten cold.

"Come on Princess" He got the towel from the radiator, holding it out ready for her and wrapping her body with it to keep her warm as she got out of the bath. He got her dry and put her in some warm clothes, once she was dressed he took her downstairs making them both a cup of tea then taking the two mugs into the living room, where they could talk. He placed the two mugs on the table and began to talk.

"Why? I thought you were going to try and stop" Jeff didn't understand why Dixie had done what she did.

"I'm a rubbish daughter" Dixie let it slip wishing she hadn't biting her tongue after the words left her mouth.

"Is that was this is about?"

"I let him down Jeff" Dixie couldn't hide her hate to herself for much longer the emotions were bottling up inside, they were too much for her.

"You didn't" He stroked her hair, she really didn't let her dad down he wanted her to see this.

"I did, I deserve to feel pain" He was shocked at what he heard, why should she feel pain? She was one of the kindest people you could ever meet; there was no reason why she should be in pain.

"No you don't Dix, listen to me you don't deserve to feel pain" Jeff couldn't believe what he was hearing, she really did feel bad about her dad finding out the truth. Dixie didn't reply but Jeff was glad she had told him that much, it meant he knew the bare bones of why she was doing this.

They sat in silence after what Dixie had just told him, he just held onto her not letting go. He was going to have to be really careful to make sure Dixie didn't try and hurt herself again, he didn't want things going one step too far. He watched every sip of tea she took, smiling as her pale complexion faded into one of colour,

"Do you want something to eat?"

"Can we have Chinese?" Dixie asked, making Jeff smile as he was glad she was willing to eat.

"Of course we can Princess" Jeff kissed her forehead, and ruffled her hair before getting up to order her favourite food. Once he finished ordering, he put the phone down and sat next to Dixie again he felt better having her sleeves rolled up as he could see there was no new cuts.

Putting on the television for background, he flicked the channel until he came to a film even if it was Ice age, him and Dixie were both kids at heart so this film would be fine. Having the take away and watching the film was perfect to him, as Dixie was in his arms eating and warm feeling better after telling him what she did. Jeff traced patterns on her shoulder noticing she soon fell asleep, he kissed her on the head gently then watched the end of the film with Dixie peacefully sleeping in his arms.
