After Hush,hush

Reason without choice

Patch sat in the living room while I went to get him some water. His cuts had already started to heal just leaving a few bruises along his cheek bone and a cut lip.

The kitchen was still and quiet, the hum of the dishwasher echoed through my head making me feel drowsy. What was I going to do? I can't stand seeing Patch and my mom hurt, I just can't, but I can't even begin to start thinking of leaving Patch, I love him.

I love you too, Angel Patch said in my head, I jumped not, meaning for him to hear that. I quickly filled a glass with water and entered the living room, passing Patch his drink then going to sit on the other side of the room. We sat in silence for several long seconds, Patch slurping his water, until I finally spoke.

"I need to get a way from you," I finally made up my mind, I needed Patch to be safe and away from me, no matter my feelings for him. "No, I thought we already decided this, you me forever, I'm not leaving you," Patch said sternly, trying to catch my eye. "Well it's not your choice," I snapped hoping if I stayed strong he'd go. "It bloody well is my choice, if your life is in danger and I wasn't there to help... I don't know what I'd do," his voice slowly growing into a whisper. This time I did look up, meeting Patches eyes, they looked so sad and worried I couldn't push him away anymore. "Fine, but I want to wipe my moms memories of me, all of them," this choice was the hardest of them all but she had to be safe. "No, Angel, I'm not gonna let you do that. It's not fair on you or your mom," he said sternly but his eyes were soft.

My hands started to shake and my eyes started to burn "I don't know what to d-do then. I w-want to keep the people I love s-safe. W-what do I do?" My voice cracked and tears slid down my face "come here," Patch gestured to a spot next to him on the sofa, which I noticed made him wince in pain. I stood up and walked across the room placing myself on the opposite end of the sofa to Patch "Scott is back, what are we going to do?" I said scowling at my hands, as if they hold the answer "I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to go into hiding, I have nice little place somewhere it's not much but it's a good place to hide. Then I'm going to ask around see if anyone has any information on Scott's whereabouts and plans. Then when it's all over me and you will buy a new home somewhere and spend the rest of forever with each other, that is my plan," Patch said not looking at me but at the far wall. My heart thumped in my chest at the thought of being with Patch for the rest of my life, what a lovely dream that would be.

"Angel?" Patch asked nervously "what do you think?" I consider a moment before speaking to Patch in his head my favourite bit is the end, with you and me. Patch, instead of replying scooted down to my end of the sofa and rapped his arms around me, I collapsed in his arms and laid my head on his chest breathing him in. "Get some sleep tonight then tomorrow we get out of here quick,"
"What about my mother?"
"I'll mind wipe her to think we've just gone for a few weeks away and that she was okay with it,"
"Okay,"
"Now get some sleep,"
I groaned leaning further into Patch until I felt an arm slip under my legs and around my shoulders. I laughed as Patch hauled me up and started to walk towards the bed room but I could see the pain in his eyes from his wounds even though he tried to hide it with a smile.

He laid me on the bed then plopped down next to me "we are a weird couple," I say before I could stop myself. "The weirdest," Patch replied after kissing me gently on the lips. I drifted off to sleep again in his arms hoping this would be the beginning of many more loving nights with him. But tomorrow we run and we hide but I'm uncertain what will come the day after that or the day after that but however unsure I am I know one thing for sure, I will always love my Patch.
