TW: Mentions of SA + Child abuse and nightmares of such along with overdosing. And violence and murder for Reed's part

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dee's POV:

As Reed sang his nightly lullaby (which helps with the nightmares) I drifted off to sleep. All I saw in my dream was my father standing in front of me. I had to fixed my clothes as he stared blankly at me. I sobbed I'm in fear and trying to keep a distance from him.

What a backstabber.. he put a hand on my shoulder and slapped me and I woke up. I sobbed and looked for Reed everywhere. I began having a panic attack I screamed for him and sobbed. I was in the kitchen on the floor when all the memories of the teachers kept rushing back. The hallucinations made an appearance too.

I searched for the melatonin Reed told me never to touch but I didn't want to be awake. A grabbed the bottle and took so many I lost count and finally went to sleep.

Finally..

Reed's POV:

I had a bad feeling but pulled up to Roy's house and smashed one of his window's. He ran out and tried to throw a punch but I grabbed his wrist and twisted it. "What the FUCK did you do to Dee?!" I almost screamed at him. Straying away from my monotone voice to show my absolute anger.

He chuckled and gave me a 100 dollar bill. "Don't tell anyone and you can keep it, Ay?" I gave his money back, it confirmed what I believed and I held out a baseball bat and gave him a good hit the head and he dropped. I him until he bled for good measure and went back to house with Dove.

I hung my coat up and was greeted to a empty pill bottle on the floor and Dee unconscious. I didn't fucking care about the pill bottle and I rushed to Dee. I checked his heart and breathing and had Dove check the bottle

He must have thought it was something else because he had the Tylenol bottle but that was the least of my concern. I didn't have time to start up a car and buckle up. I just picked up Dee and ran. I ran faster then I've ever ran before. I got to a random hospital and practically had a panic attack trying to explain. They rushed him into a room and said they'd call me tomorrow.

I went home and saw Dove sitting on his chair and I sat down, crying softly. He's never seen me cry before. He cuddled me and waited until I was asleep to leave.

Dove's POV:

I got off of Reed once he was asleep and put a blanket on him but I stayed up. Cause I was getting us someone who has to listen to our problems and gets paid to hear us talk about the horrible parts of our life and has to be nice to us and give us advice or they'll be forced to not have food for the week: A therapist!! Kinda like how we share a lawyer we now share a therapist

But is that all we are? Just people that share a lawyer? Maybe that's all we should be. I can't have anyone getting close to me again.

I'm sorry Reed and Dee but I can't let myself get close to anyone.
