Chapter 8 – Angels
"It happened five years ago Y/N" Anna finally broke the silence "one minute they was here, the next they wasn't"
You kneel down next to her hesitantly, placing your arm over her shoulders, instinctively she leans her head on your shoulder.
"I didn't know what to do Y/N, I didn't eat or sleep properly for weeks, spent most of the time crying hoping and pleading that it was all a dream, just hoping I would wake up one day and they would be back" she chokes back a sob, wiping the tears away.
"But I never, always waking to an empty house, I still don't know how I managed to get through it. The pain was unbearable, I was a shadow of my former self, and empty shell just living day by day"
"I cant imagine the pain you went through Anna" you whisper to her, running your spare hand through her hair. Looking up to the sky you take in a deep sigh.
"I never knew my father, he was never there when I was a baby, my mother told me one day he just up and left, never coming back" Anna is looking at you now, listening to your story. "when I was eighteen, well just over six years ago, my mother disappeared as well, just went and left me alone. I thought for the longest time that it was my fault, that I caused my father to leave and then my mother" tears are forming in your eyes now, recalling these memories still hurts, Anna places her hand in yours squeezing it tightly which you reciprocate.
"I did some bad things Anna, I started drinking, hanging around with the wrong people. Started robbing stores and people. Anything that would take the pain away, give me that thrill that I needed, but it never gave me it, just more emptiness and sadness. So I took even more drugs and drank more, woke up one morning in a hospital bed with tubes in my sides and down my throat. The doctors said all my organs had shut down, they couldn't take the stress of what I was doing any more. They told me I should have been dead and one more drink could kill me" No more tears are forming now, you're just staring into space, wondering if you should tell Anna the rest and full story.
'you really shouldn't do that you know?' the voices sneers 'I thought I was done with you?' you angrily think 'Y/N Y/N Y/N, you will never be done with me, I will always be here, always reminding you that you are a monster, a murderer, you're not worthy to have anything to do with Anna, why are you trying so hard?' The voices taunts, mocking you with every word. You manage to block the voice out, although you agree that right now is not the time to tell Anna the whole truth.
"There is a lot more to the story Anna, but right now may not be the best time to tell you, and I don't know if I can do it just yet, this is the most I have ever told anyone about my past" looking down at the ground you clear your throat "I just hope you understand, and I hope this doesn't change your opinion on me"
After a moment you feel Anna remove her hand from yours and stand up slowly.
'See Y/N she is leaving, you may have only told her some of your past but that's enough to make he...'
The voice doesn't get to finish what it was saying before Anna slowly takes your hand again and helps you up, before fully enveloping you in a tight hug, crying softly. The breath is forced from your lungs at the tightness of the hug and you begin to hug her back tightly, tears now falling from your eyes as you try to hold back a sob, which you don't succeed at. You're both crying freely now, hugging each other tightly, not wanting to let go of each other.
Both of you are broken in some form it felt as if you were both trying to fix times wounds, hoping to heal the other somehow. And slowly but surely you were both doing just that.
AN: Hey everyone, I'm sorry this is only a short chapter but its all I could get out.
As I mentioned in a previous AN it was my birthday on the Thursday just gone. So there has been a few drinks and whatnot and I am still recovering from it all haha.

But there should be another chapter up on Tuesday or Wednesday, a lot longer to try and make up for this chapter. But I hope you all enjoy it still regardless of length.
But there will be a bit of something for you all in the next chapter. There will be a date (At last hallelujah!)
