Safe In Your Arms: A DevonDoesTomahawk(Jevon) Fanfiction [ON HOLD]

8. Need You Now

I know I know I'm awful I know but as I'm sure you've seen, a lot of stuff went down this last month in the cube fandom so that kinda took my attention from this, I was also feeling pretty crappy health wise for a bit (thanks hay fever) but finally I'm updating and I know I said this chapter would be pax east but this chapter is set before that and it focuses on Julio's stress with everything and my gosh it was hard to write! (I don't like writing suffering I feel bad) Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter and as always feedback is appreciated.

Julio clenched his jaw; he couldn't tell whether he was feeling angry or sad, and he couldn't tell if he wanted to scream or cry. All he knew was that he was tired, he was tired of constantly having to explain and/or defend himself over things, most of which weren't even in his control. Having to take a break from school for example, not his fault. The fact Mitchell was flat out ignoring him, again, not his fault. The fact he had to explain why he was distant because he missed the only person who he felt he could tell everything to...Not his fault. He felt like a human punching bag and he was so sick of it.

'I need you' Julio texted Devon. He knew Devon had gone out with friends but he needed to vent.

'Oh, that nude get you frustrated? ;) :^)' 

'Well yes, but that's not what I meant, I miss you and I need to talk to someone who won't use me a human punching bag like everyone else seems to be doing recently...' Julio replied, biting the inside of his cheek once he hit send.

'Oh Julio...Okay give me 2 minutes and I'll call you'

'Okay.' Julio replied bluntly ...

"Hey babe" Devon said once Julio picked up

"Hey..." Julio replied, inhaling sharply after he did so, fighting tears.

"Don't cry please or I swear to god I will drive to LA right now if I have to" Devon insisted

"I'm not crying-" Julio began to protest

"Yeah, but you're about to" Devon pointed out which made Julio laugh lightly.

"You know me too well..." Julio said softly

"Julio..." Devon choked out, on the brink of tears himself

"I just, everything's going wrong and I wish you were here..." Julio choked out, scrunching his eyes up as a few tears fell.

"I know...and I do what I can to make it better, but it's so hard from so far away"

"I know and I appreciate it so much every time you do, but sometimes it's not enough, some things are broken beyond repair..." Julio explained

"Yeah...Just promise me you won't just let them stay broken though, you can rebuild" Devon assured Julio which made Julio smile through his tears.

"You've always been really good with metaphors"

"Thank you"

"I love you" Julio said

"I love you too" Devon said in return "I have to go, they want to show me something, is that okay? I can say no if you really need me?"
