In the morning I woke up and checked my phone, it was 5:30am. I know Rhett is trying to help me but I'm just not used to been treated so nice. He has his own problems to deal with, like his divorce... It be better if I just leave. While Rhett was still asleep I brought some clothes to the bathroom. When I dropped my jeans on the floor something fell out of my back pocket, it was my razorblade. I couldn't help myself but cut again. I got in the shower and cried as I watched the blood disappear down the plug hole. After the shower I dried myself and got dressed. I went to my room and put everything in my bag and went downstairs.

I got to the front door and decided if I left by the back door it might not disturb him. I walked to the kitchen and slowly unlocked the door "Chloe? Where are you going?" the sound of Rhetts voice startled me "I appreciate all your help Rhett but I can't stay here" I opened the door and looked back "Thanks so much" I stepped out but was pulled back inside by the wrist by Rhett. I let out a small moan of pain as it hurt because of the recent cuts even though he was holding my wrist so gently "Rhett I've made up my mind!" "You can't live out there! It's only a matter of time before you're raped or even starve to death!" "No-one would miss me" he looked down at the floor and shook his head. I looked down at my hand and panicked when I noticed it was covered in blood about to drip on the floor, I pulled down my sleeves to cover up my hands and Rhett noticed "Chloe, what're you hiding?" he said in a serious tone "Nothing, I'm going and you can't stop me!" I turned around to the door but Rhett grabbed my shoulders and turned me around "Show me your arms" "No!" he grabbed my arm and pushed up my sleeves, his eyes widened in shock "How long have you been doing this?" "A while" tears formed in his eyes "It'd be better if I just ended it... I'm just a waste on this Earth" "Ohh Chloe" he towered over me and pulled me into a hug. In his arms I felt safe and protected. I started to cry, Rhett ran his fingers through my hair and squeezed me tighter. I pulled away from him and he wiped my tears away "Come on lets get those cuts cleaned and covered and then get to work, we can't be late on your first day can we?" I smiled "Nope" "Chloe was that a smile? You should smile more often it's pretty" he smiled. He grabbed a first aid kit and cleaned up my cuts and wrapped my wrists very carefully with bandages. He made us both breakfast and we both got in his car and set off to work.
