Togetherness

Chapter 14

~Ash's POV~

I wasn't able to sleep, even as he slept so peacefully. I couldn't help but have horrible voice going off in my head.

You should have been there.

You could have stopped it.

you are a failure.

The thoughts swarmed my head.

Kill yourself.

You don't deserve him.

He will leave you anyways.

I got out of bed,

Do it.

I went to my drawer.

You deserve this.

I got the razors.

So close.

I locked the bathroom door behind me.

Now's your chance, do it pussy.

I made the first cut.

Then the second....

Third...

Fourth....

Fifth....

Blood was dripping from my fingers, running down my arm. The sight was beautiful.

Now cover them. He will leave you if he sees them.

I used the last bit of my strength to pull myself off of the cold desolate floor and wrapped my wounds. I pulled a hoodie on after I left the room and cuddled back up to him. HIs soft snores were so reassuring, and peaceful. For a moment I completely forgot about what I just did. All that I could think about was the sleeping boy in my arms.

~the next morning~

I was still awake. I never did sleep. I just laid there silent as a mouse waiting for the sun to rise.

After another little bit he rolled over to face me and smiled.

"Good morning handsome" he said with a smile. He then pecked me on the lips and I smiled back at him. I just looked into his eyes. It's all I could do. Their beautiful contrast to one another.

"Good morning beautiful" I replied, sending a blush over his face. "How did you sleep lovely?"

"I slept well mon amour" he said. He spoke French so often I forgot he even spoke it. "What about you?" I froze.

"I-I slept well" I said, stumbling over my words. His face drooped a bit and he grabbed my hand.

"Baby, what happened while I was asleep that you aren't telling me?" He said in a lightest sweetest voice I had ever heard.

I felt tears welling in the corners of my eyes.

Don't tell him. You know what he'll do.

"Nothing...."

~Luca's POV~

If he was trying to hide something then he wasn't doing very good at it.

"Please tell me" I said grabbing his hands and giving it a light squeeze. His eyes darted away from mine and I grabbed his face.

"I want to know so if you need it, I can help" a tear fell from his eye and I did the only thing I knew to do. I wiped it away and kissed him where it had fallen.

Before I knew it he burst out crying. I was stunned, what happened in the 7 hours I was asleep?
