Crushed Beats *PAUSED/REWRITING*

Chapter 12

We arrived at school. Today seems like a normal day, nothing special, just me being the annoyed person I am.

It's not Cherry or Keith are the ones annoying me or anything. It's just. Pico.

I don't know if I have feelings for him. But the things he says to me sometimes, makes me hate him. I don't think he knows it when he says it. But it hurts. Sometimes I feel like he's doing it on purpose. "Y/n..? Uhm, the bell rung." Cherry taps on my desk. I shake my head and look around.
I'm in the classroom? But how? I was just outside. "Right," I say as I get up. "Keith and I are going to our class. Have a nice time, Y/n and Pico," she waved as she walks down the hall hand in hand with Keith. I nod even though she can't see me. I don't talk to Pico I just walk off.

His eyes widen in the sudden mood change. "Oh? Are you alright?" He catches up to me and tries to put a hand on my shoulder. I slap it away, "Yeah. Why do you even care." I felt bad for saying that. But I just had the feeling I needed to. I saw it at the corner of my eye as he backed down away from me. "I'm sorry"
I whisper loudly, but so he can't hear me. I walk into the classroom and sit down in my seat. Right before the teacher walks in. "Alright, class! Since you've been 'good' we're having a free day." Mr. Barche says getting all the class's attention. A free day? I wonder what's going on in his mind. We haven't been good at all I mean I have. I don't talk to anyone.

Scratch that. I talk to Pico, momentarily. But I have nothing to do in my free time, my only friend here was Pico, and I'm his only friend here too. I put my head down and try my best to go to sleep. Yeah, I know it's not gonna happen but. I could still try, right? "Y/n? Did I do something wrong?" Pico pouts. And that's my weakness. I hate when people think they did something wrong and they didn't. "No. You're fine," I lift my head. Aw shoot. His face. I- Ugh! Why does he have to be so hot? "It's nothing. It's just not my day today." "Really? I'm also stressed. You just don't see it. I hide it- mostly Because people don't care about my feelings." He sighs. Stressed? I have the right thing for him after school. I know it'll help. I've done it many times. "I'm sorry to hear...but hey I've got a surprise for you after school. Visit me after school?" "Sure" he shrugs.

Time skip to Y/n's house ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Alright Pico, are you ready for this?" I run the bathwater. "Yeah. Uhm..you sure this is gonna work?" He sits on the counter. "Positive."
I put bubbles in the water. "Alright, I think this is all. Get in." "Very funny, not with you in here." He chuckles. I go outside the door and stand far, but close.

A few moments have passed so I knock on the door, "You in?" "Yeah." I walk in and see him in the tub. "Alrighty," I say sitting on a stool. I roll up my sleeves and get a cup and shampoo, and wash. "What? Y-your bathing me?" His face turns a soft cherry. "Of course silly! It wouldn't be relaxing if you were doing it yourself!" I grab the cup and cover his eyes. Putting water in the cup, I pour it over his head. He tenses up but relaxes as the water goes through his hair. I squirt some conditioner/shampoo in his hair and start messaging/washing his hair.

I pour water over his head to rinse. I look at him. "Your hair is nice down. I think it's pretty cute," I giggle. "Ya' think?" I nod. I look under the cabinet to grab a fresh loofa. Good thing I buy boxes of these things. I put wash on it. "M'kay. Washing time!" Starting from his neck down to his stomach I wash him. I turn and let him do the rest. "I'm done." "Okay, get dressed or whatever and meet me in the living room," I walk out and close the door behind me. A wave of tiredness washed over me. I sit down on the couch and rest. It wasn't a sleepy kind of tired. It was an exhausting kind of tired. "Hey." Pico sits next to me. I look at him. He looks back at me with half-lidded eyes. Oh my god- that's pretty hot. "H-Hey."

We sit there in silence. If I'm being honest, it was killing me. "I-I'm gonna go in my room. You can watch TV or something." I get up and walk to my room.

Pico POV

They left. Did I do something wrong? Probably. I mean yeah the silence was awkward. I should check on them.

I walk over to their room and peek inside. Their sleep. Now I'm convinced I didn't do something wrong. I'll stay here. I have extra clothes. Everyone does. All of us have extra clothes over someone's house. And I have all my stuff since we went straight here. I guess I'll take a nap too.

Cherry POV

Me and Keith walk around the park. I think about Pico and Y/n. They could be a good couple. I mean they are cute together. But they don't have a good enough bond together. Yeah- they hang out. But it always ends up with an argument. Mostly because Pico did something. I don't understand he doesn't act like that around us. Unless he just doesn't like Y/n like that. "Keith? Had Pico told you anything about Y/n?" "No- at least I don't remember him telling me." "Okay. I just think they would be a good couple." He looks at me. "Yeah, I was thinking that. But honestly, I'm scared. I'm scared for Y/n. If they do get together well...Pico. His anger issues are severe and we don't want them getting hurt. Especially with that gun of his." I didn't think of that. I forgot he even carried a gun since I've gotten so used to it, it's like a normal thing now. "We should check upon them." I say "They're at Y/n's house.

Sorry, this took longer to get out. Writer's block haha.
Anyways hope you all enjoy it.
