Tears
Relationship: none
Summary: Chris knows the real pain comes afterward. (drabble)
Rating: Teen (pain and suffering)
As much as the bruises and the cracked ribs ached, as much as the scrapes and cuts stung– the crying hurt worse.
The crying made it real– made the pain mean something.
If Chris didn’t cry, he could pretend that pain was just pain. That the pain wasn’t betrayal.
Without the hot tears streaming down his face he could pretend that it was only his body that felt like it was falling apart.
But the tears wouldn’t stop. They mingled with the blood.
He couldn’t keep push it away. He has to accept the pain and who had caused it.
