I wake up hot and sweaty and I look over at sky's bed and see she's not there, I sit up and about to stand up when the bathroom door opens up, sky comes out drying her hair with a towel as she wears a tank top and shorts, I blush slightly and look away as the dream is slowly forgotten,

"Oh, hey Alex, you alright? Your really sweaty, hmmm bad dream?" She asks as the memory resurfaces,

I nod slightly and grab my towel "yea....it's nothing important tho, been having them since I woke up in the grass, it's all fine tho." I stand up grab my towel and start to walk past her as she grabs my arm and stops me and looks me in the eye

"I'm here to listen if you need me to alright Alex? No matter what I will be here for you, I have a feeling you'll do the same."

I manage a weak smile "thank you but im fine I promise, and yes, I will be here for you if you ever need me." She let's go of me and I go into the bath room and close the door I take off my shirt and look in the mirror and see my self for the first time, white hair, red eyes, scars all over my body

I sit down feeling a bit neasus as sky knocks and comes in

"....w....what happened to you? Are you Allright?" She asks and sits next to me

I look at my hands and say "y....yea im fine just....surprised by how I look is all...."

She hugs me slightly "it's alright Alex, besides I've been told scars are hot and build character. So don't feel bad about them....and maybe one day you will remember what happened to give you those scars."

I sigh "....yea, maybe." I look up and close my hands "only time will tell."

We both stand up "w....well I'll let you shower now, take your time to shower and relax."

I smile slightly "I'll try thank you sky."

She leaves and I take a 20 minute shower lost in thought

I wonder what happened to me....why can't I remember....falling from a building on high in the sky i....my head starts to feel like it's splitting I dry off and put my clothes on and walk outside with a hand to my head

Sky looks at me and stands up and rushes over to me "what's wrong alex!?"

"I...it's just a slight headache" I say with a pained tone

She frowns "with that much pain in your voice I don't think so." She forces me to lay down on my bed and she sits next to me and starts to sing slightly my head begins to cleat and I feel as if I'm about to pass out

"T...thank you....sky" I say before i pass out

Sky's POV

I walk out of the bathroom drying my hair due to finish my shower and I see Alex sitting up in bed with a slightly pained expression with a pale complexion to his skin with a lot of sweat all over his body and labored breathing, he trys to hid a blush from me but I saw it but his skin color returns to normal slightly and his breathing fixes

"Are you alright alex?" I ask

He nods and grabs his towel and some clothes "y....yea im fine no need to worry sky." He says

He starts to walk past me but I grab his arm to stop him and he turns around and look him in the eye "I'm here if you need me Alex, don't hesitate to ask for help, I know you will be there for me if I ask for help."

He nods slightly "t....thank you sky....i....I appreciate it...I really do."

I let go of him and he leaves and closes the door behind him I go and sit down on my bed and im about to pick my book up when I hear something in the bathroom I rush in there to see Alex on the floor with scars all over his body and a panicked and pained expression on him with his entire body trembling and a look of fear in his eye, I rush over to him and sit down next to him and hug him, I could tell before but he has a really nice body, a nice 6 pack of abs and some really toned muscle

"what.....happened alex?"

He looks at his hands and says "i...im alright j...just surprised of how I look." And scared I noticed

"It's alright Alex, from what I've heard and been told scars build character and a lot of people find them attractive. So no need to worry about it alright?"

He shakes a little but and closes his hands "a...alright....what do you think about them?" He asks me i blush slightly

"I think you look with or without them." I say a bit embarrassed, I stand up and look at him before he stands up a second later I walk away and say "try to relax and take a shower alright?" I walk out and close the door behind me, I read my book for roughly 20 minutes before Alex comes out, I look up and see him holding his hand to his head with a expression of agony on his face, I rush over to him and guide him to his bed "what's wrong Alex!? Did something happen?" I ask

He shakes his head slightly as he lays down "n...nothing happened just a slight headache is all" he says, which I know he is lying to me, I start to sing and I put some magic in my words to lull him to sleep

"T....thank you....s...so much....sky."

He says before passing out

I go over and check the time...."2:10 AM...huh....guess i should rest as well"

I fall asleep and look around me seeing nothing but darkness and a deep crimson color at my feet, I bring my hands up and look at them and I see blood dripping down them and then I realize....im standing in a pool of blood and I look up and I see Alex covered in wounds and blood looking at me
