[Roleplay] The Rebuilding - Continuation of The Aftermath

"Whatever, dumb*ss. I'm going to sleep." I walk towards my bed and climb in the covers. I take my bracelet off for the first time and set it on the table beside me. "There's room in the bed. Want to keep me warm?" I ask teasingly.
 
I slowly stand up from the couch. "Wh...what? You're... sleeping...?"
 
I'm hit by a brick wall of emotions. I stand in silence, conflicted, for a while and ask, "...Do you have any idea... what you put me through?"
 
"No. We can talk now. What the hell were you thinking?" I try to keep my voice low, to a harsh whisper.
 
"I... I... don't know what I was thinking. I felt like I lacked a purpose and coming here gave me one but when I saw how it affected you... It broke me. Ask the others. They almost forced me to take depression pills. You're not the only one who suffered." I say bitterly.
 
"You didn't have fake your death, though! Why the hell would you put everyone through that, Sage?! There's no other way you could've done it?! Maybe fake a runaway, or a kidnapping, or even just say you're going on f**king vacation?! Why did you fake your death?!" I realize that I've been yelling at her and look down.
 
Tears start to spill down my face. I mutter, "**** you, Helix... It's not always about you." I turn my head away and close my eyes.
 
I grab her shoulder. "Listen, Sage, I'm sorry for that. But I just want some answers. Please. You know I'm glad you're alive, but I need to know why this was even necessary in the first place..." I blink back tears. She's been alive this whole time and all I've done is hurt her. Awesome.

I sigh. "Okay..." I stand still, unsure of whether she wants me sleeping on the bed or on the couch.
 
"I..." I'm surprised that she's still open to that idea after THAT. "Sure." I smile weakly and get under the covers next to her. I hug her, probably a little too tightly. I fall asleep within minutes.
