Sighing, Genesis turned around and she climbed on top of him. Now she had her legs wrapped around his torso, with him kneeling on the ground.
"I'm sorry okay?"
"Treat your injuries more seriously. No matter how small they are."
"It's not a big deal, I've had worse."
Aiden frowned and he pushed her away.
"Hey!"
Taking a deep breath in he wrapped his arms around her again.
"You think just because you've been hurt before, your new wounds are irrelevant? That's all bullsh*t, every new injury hurts. So stop pretending to be strong and cry, scream and shout. I don't care what you do but don't ignore your pain just because you've felt it before. Am I understood?"
It was just a bruise.
But his words sank in deep.
And he meant for them too.
He wanted her to understand that it was fine to feel pain and that no one will judge her for it.
She laughed nervously at his words and buried her face in the crook of his neck.
