Was Ricky crazy? Possibly. He walked through the storm to get to his home. He had been up since early in the morning helping out. He had to grab a few changes of clothing. His dog as well, and dog food for his dog. Jesus the list went on and on with what he needed to bring back to the school. He was lucky his home was nearby and not a million miles away. He tugged his winter jacket closer, he was thankful it was slightly water resistant. A small shiver raked through his body as he felt snow run down his neck onto his back. He could so use a hot shower right now, but even he knew the power would be out at his house. He already knew he’d be packing a bag with enough clothing and such to last him out the rest of the storm. Only downside, since the power was so glitchy, he would more than likely be stuck using the crutches he had in his office. He wasn't about to haul the prosthetic he uses for running with him.
He quickly walked up the steps and unlocked his door. His house was freezing. Walking up the stairs, he found Milo under the covers in his bed. "Milo." he said softly, but loudly enough that the sleeping dog would rouse from his sleep. "Come on. Up, up, up. You are coming with me. I can't leave you here with no one to take care of you." he said as he ruffled the dog’s ears once he jumped down onto the ground. He quickly threw together a bag of clothing. Grabbing his toothbrush, toothpaste, he got everything he’d need if he were staying overnight at the school, doing rounds. Only add about five or six different pairs of clothing. He also packed everything he would need for his dog. Making sure to have all the extra batteries for his Powerfoot Biom, he carefully placed them into a sealed bag, making sure it was airtight.
Mentally going through the list he made in his head, he had everything and quickly made his way back to the school, his dog with him. He shook his umbrella out before walking into the school. He was shivering, but it was to be expected as he was freezing. He had a few blankets and towels stored in his office as a precaution. In case something like this happened. He waved to a few of the staff calming down students as lights continued to flicker on and off like crazy.
Stepping into his office, he closed the door. Not thinking he was going to be disturbed he kept the door unlocked. Ricky dropped the leash as he grabbed two towels. One was for him, and the other for Milo. Quickly, he rubbed Milo down, drying him. He then grabbed a blanket and put it on the couch where students usually sat when they were in their weekly meetings. Milo quickly curled up on the couch and dozed off. Ricky on the other hand, was still freezing, shivering as tremors raked through his body. He opened his damp bag and pulled out a dry shirt and hoodie. He pulled off his soaked shirts, layer by layer until he was shirtless. He never really took off his shirts in public because of his sides and abdomen. His sides were littered with scars, most of them were faded, but noticeable, others were in various stages of healing. On his lean abdomen there were also scars, but not as many.
Ricky didn’t register the knock on his door as he quickly and vigorously dried himself off. When the door opened, his head snapped over. Elyse… what was she doing here? His eyes snapped downwards towards his sides before flashing up to meet hers, his gaze wary. "Oh fuck…" he mumbled to himself, his entire body tense. She would be able to see the scars. Elyse may have known the basics of his story, but she didn’t know everything. He started trembling slightly as he leaned against his desk. He hadn’t wanted anyone to ever find out. Find out his dark secret.

Elyse was running around grabbing stuff so she could stay at the school for a few days since the snow storm site did not look like it was letting up anytime soon. She had already been at the school for the night watching the kids and stuff and also actually finishing up some work. That also met that the dog as well as some basic stuff was there. Allege rarely left her puppy home by her self. She was an 8 week old boxer puppy so she needed to be watched a lot. And when elyse did leave her at home she enjoyed eating or trying to eat everything in sight and that never ever turned out good for any one.
Elyse put all her stuff in a duffle bad and set out in the cold. It was still possible to drive and that was a good thing. Elyse only lived about 5 to ten minuets away from the school but she drove much slower since the roads were so bad so it seemed like it took forever to get there. As elyse pulled up to the parking lot she shut off the engine and quickly grabbed her bag and walked in the doors. She was kind of really cold already even though she had not been out in the cold for long.
Elyse walked to her office also making sure none of the kids were freaking out and were not with someone. She did not spot anyone and she did not see any of her kids on the way to her office. Elyse opened the door to her office smiling at her puppy who was sleeping in a pile of blankets in the corner of the room. Elyse set the duffle bag down and pulled of her coat. Elyse sat her duffle bag down in the corner of her office and walked back out closing the door behind her.
Elyse had on a green sweatshirt with black sweatpants. Not the prettiest clothing in the world but the we comfy. Elyse's hair was falling down her back on little curls. Elyse walked along the hallways looking to see all was here when she stopped dead in her tracks. She read the name again. It was ricky. When elyse still had not been in the best of places but doing physical therapy Ricky had been one of her patients.
Elyse could tell the light were on since in that moment the power was on so she knocked on the door. She waited a moment but when he did not say anything she pulled the door open and stepped in. Elyse was surprised by what she saw. Ricky was standing there in the process of changing but his sides and even abdomen were covered in scares. Elyse took a deep breath for a moment remaining silent as she though. It was also not surprise in a way. She had felt with things her own way but it ha been a bad idea just like this.
Elyse walked forward little. She could see how tense his body was and the fact that he was kind of shaking. Elyse then said rather softly "Ricky?" elyse had said it more like a question. Elyse waited for another moment before she again walked close to him leaning up on the desk by where he was. She then waited for him to say something anything at all.

How… how could this have happened? Ricky had always gone out of his way to make sure no one found out about his cutting habit. His eyes clenched shut as his hand tightened its grip around the towel. He had to relax. He couldn’t have a panic attack right now. He didn’t have them that often, but he did have them once in a while. He could feel his breathing getting more and more erratic. His dog looked up, noticing something was off about his owner. He jumped off the couch and walked over to Ricky, letting out a soft whine as his head touched his owners hand. Ricky’s eyes snapped down feeling Milo bump his hand gently. He bit his lip softly as he shakily ran a hand over Milo’s head, his dog leaning into the caress. He slowed his breathing down slightly as he pulled the shirt in his hands over his head.
He turned his attention towards Elyse. The wariness not leaving his eyes as she wandered closer, if anything his eyes got more wary. His body was so tense, he looked about ready to jump out of his skin. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust her, ooh he did, she was one of the people he trusted with his life. It was the fact she saw the scars. It was one reason why he very rarely let people close to him. Because the minute they see the scars the either freak the fuck out or are so disgusted they can’t be around him anymore. It’s happened before. ”Hey Elyse…” he said softly. Ricky had no idea what to say. Milo sat down and pressed his side against his leg, offering support that was clearly needed.
He heaved a sigh ”I guess it was only a matter of time someone found out…” he whispered. At least it had been someone he trusted who found out. Although at the same time he wished it was still a secret. But three and a half years was a long ass time to keep something such s cutting a secret. He’s evaded many doctors seeing his sides, even when it came to his yearly physicals. He loathed those appointments. Greatly. ”how long have you been working here? he asked softly, not wanting the topic to be on him, even though he knew it probably would be. Her finding out about the cutting was bound to bring up questions. It was only a matter of time before they were asked though.

Elyse watched Ricky as he seemed to only get tenser as he pulled his shirt on. And a dog come sit at his side. Her brain was racing there was the fact it was the middle of the night or morning depending on how you looked at it. Elyse thought for a moment before gently grabbing his had and leading him to the couch in the room as she said "you kind of look like your going to have a panic attack or pass out so sitting may be a good thing. " elyse sat herself down on one end of the couch.
Elyse watched him for a moment before responding to his question about how long had she been here " just a little while. I kind of decided to go to school since I did not go to college before I went into the military and this is kind of my first real job like ever" elyse leaned back into the couch a little bit. They had never really talked about there accidents. She knew e was in a car crash that was about it. Elyse really could not even rennet if she had told him she was in the military. Elyse thought for a moment before she slowly stood up I will be right back.
Elyse jogged back down the hall to her office grabbing a blanket and her lulu her puppy because she had a feeling that this may be a long conversation even of she did most of the talking. Elyse walked rather quickly back to his office plopping back down as she said in a rather unusually soft voice by her standards I really don't trust lulu alone in my office. Has this been going on since I met you and I'm gonna bet you aren't sleeping " elyse still a lot of nights slept like crap and it had been about eight years. Being sober helped but some times it made it harder.
Elyse watched a lulu simply curled up on the floor paying no attention to the other dog. She was one of the laziest pit bull puppies elyse had ever seen but she was so sweet. Elyse pulled the blanket over her lap leaning back. Elyse wanted to do something to comfort Ricky but she did not want to make him more on edge so she kept her hands in her lap waiting to see what he was going to say.
