Togetherness

Chapter 15

~Luca's POV~

Why was he crying? What happened whilst I was sleeping?

"Baby, Are you okay? Please tell me what happened. I wanna know so I can help you" he shook his head and I made him look at me.

"No, you're gonna leave me if you find out." He said and my heart broke. What had he done that was so horrible he thought I would leave him?

"Baby I promise that I won't leave you. I just wanna know love" he cried even harder. I kissed him ever so softly and pulled him closer. I was hugging him tight and as close as i could. I felt his arms wrap around my waist and a rush of butterflies to follow.

"I-i really don't wanna talk about it Luca...." He said and I nodded.

"Okay then, we can talk whenever you're ready my love" he nodded and rested his forehead on mine. "But I really really want a kiss right now. Pleeeeaaaase" I said cheekily and he giggled a bit before complying.

I felt his lips meet mine after a few moments of waiting. I reminisced every single second of it. We fit so well together. Our body's, minds, everything. I was smiling and I could feel it rubbing off on him. he wrapped  his arms around me and shifted me onto top of him so I was laid out on top of him. And we stayed there for a while. Kissing and hugging, not in any lustful way and it was so so refreshing.

So it was so surprising when I pulled away. He gave me a puzzled look and I just smiled. 

"I love you Ash" I said softly and he looked shocked. Oh no, he didn't feel the same. shit. I quickly pulled away from him and got out of the bed. I heard him try to grab me but before he could touch me I was already running out of the room with tears threatening to fall down my face. 

I bolted out of the house with y shoes in hand and just ran. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to go somewhere. I needed to think about what I had just said. I had perfection with him and 3 words just ruined it all. 

As the tears fell down my face and the wind slid them towards my hair I felt inner numbness. Like everything good and bad had gone away.

Then it all went black. Nothing.

But then sound.

cries.

Ash. What happened?

~Ash's POV~

I watched it happen. The boy I loved running away, down the middle of the road. The truck hurting faster then I could react to. The screech of the tires as it stopped nearly crushing him, hurting him again. Even from 100 yards away I heard the bones breaking.

I ran as fast as I could dialing 911 on my way.

"PLEASE HELP, HE WAS HIT BY A TRUCK" I scream cried. 

After what felt like forever the ambulance showed up and we rode away to the hospital. He was almost gone by the time they had gotten there.

"Please be okay baby..." I said while they worked on him as best they could in the small space.

By the time we got to the hospital he was breathing and alive, and that was enough. I would wait for him no matter how long it took.

This is your fault you know. If you had just been faster or said it back to him he wouldn't be dying right now.

No it wasn't. I can't control what happened. Right?

~Luca's POV~

It was cold and dark. I heard everything. The entire operation. The explanation. I was hit by a truck while I was running away. My injuries were as minor as they could get. I wouldn't have much to heal from, hopefully.

After a while I heard sobs. Ash's sobs. Why was he here? I thought for sure he was mad at me. I ruined things.

Then I felt the first thing in this whole time. His hand sliding onto mine. I tried to move my hand, do anything. I felt like a lump of metal. Then I started to choke, there was something slid down my throat.

Someone rushed in to take it out as soon as they could but it still hurt. I then felt a soft kiss on my cheek. I smiled internally and I was hoping externally. I wanted him mot know that I knew he was here.
