La'Reya's POV

- That Night -

Layla- Where's Neteyam!?
Lo'ak- Why?
Layla- I want to talk to him!
Lo'ak- I don't know
~I went up to them~
Layla- ugh! Not her again!
La'Reya- Who you looking for?
Layla- Who you think?
La'Reya- He's in his hut, he said he wanted to be alone
Layla- Yeah right!
Lo'ak- Don't bother him!
Kiri- Let him be Layla!
Layla- Why? Is he still *She did finger quotes* depressed?
Kiri- Wow! You really are something else!
Layla- I'm going to talk to him!
Lo'ak- I wouldn't do that!
Layla- Neteyam?
Neteyam- Go away Layla!
Layla- Can I just talk to you for one second!?
Neteyam- No! Leave! I don't wanna talk to anyone!
Layla- Come on Nettey! Just stop sobbing over her and get over it!
~Neteyam was getting mad~
Neteyam- Get over it!? How the hell am I supposed to just get over my best friend dying! And you're supposed to be my girlfriend! But you're not acting like it! Get out!
Layla- And this depression, I believe your just faking it so you can get closer to her! Am I right!?
Neteyam- Get out Layla!
Layla- Answer me! *She yelled*
Neteyam- GET OUT! *He threw a flower pot at the wall*
Layla- Fine!
Lo'ak- I told you!
Layla- Shut up!
La'Reya- Told you
Layla- You go in there!
La'Reya- No! I'm leaving him be!
Layla- Why!?
La'Reya- Cause I actually respect when he wants to be alone!
Layla- Do you like him!?
La'Reya- That's none of your business
Layla- Actually it is! Considering I'm his girlfriend!
La'Reya- I like to keep my feelings towards other people private!
Layla- You can't have him! He's mine!
La'Reya- Clearly he doesn't want you! *I said under my breath*
Layla- What was that!
La'Reya- Oh nothing! *I fake smiled*
~I left~
La'Reya- Neteyam?
~I went in his hut and saw he wasn't in his hut, I heard running water~

-TW-
(Self Harm)

La'Reya- Neteyam? *I went to the shower, he was sitting on the shower floor with the water on, I noticed he was bleeding*
Neteyam- What?
La'Reya- Neteyam! No! Give me that! *I swiped the dagger out of his hands*
Neteyam- I already did it!
La'Reya- Neteyam! Oh my Eywa! *I noticed the tiny cuts on his wrists* Why!?
Neteyam- *Sobs*
La'Reya- Ok, let's get you cleaned up!
~I put his arms under the running water, the blood was going down the drain~
Neteyam- I'm sorry! *He sobbed*
La'Reya- Don't apologize! Don't!
~I wrapped his wrist in bandages~
La'Reya- There
Neteyam- Thanks
~Neteyam got up and went and laid down~
La'Reya- I can leave now
Neteyam- No! Don't! Please!
La'Reya- Ok
~I crawled in the bed with him~
Neteyam- Thank you!
La'Reya- For what?
Neteyam- For caring
La'Reya- You're welcome
~We fell asleep~

- The Next Day -

La'Reya- Neteyam?
Neteyam- Yeah?
La'Reya- Are you ok?
~He was silent~
La'Reya- It's ok, you don't have to say anything
~Layla walked in~
Layla- Neteyam! What are you doing!? Get away from him!
~I got up~
Neteyam- Why do you care!? You don't do this to me anyway! You haven't even checked on me! *He cried* Reya's been there for me! Where've you been! Nowhere by me! She stuck by my side when I found out about Kasey! You were rude about it! You didn't care about my feelings! La'Reya's been there for me more than you ever have! *He sobbed*
Layla- I've been busy Neteyam! You know some people actually do things than sit here and sob over their dead friend for a whole damn day! And get *She did air quotes* depressed! Get over yourself! I love you! She doesn't! So stop sobbing over your friend and start growing up!
La'Reya- How dare you talk to him like that! He just lost his friend! Show some respect! If you actually loved him you would've cared more!
Layla- Oh shut up! I don't care what you say! And I know about your cuts! Did you do that too to get her attention or was it your *She did air quotes* depression!?
Neteyam- Leave!
Layla- No!
La'Reya- He asked you to leave!
Layla- Why do I have to leave? Make her leave! She's not your girlfriend! I am!
Neteyam- We're done Layla! I'm breaking up with you! Leave!
Layla- Are you serious! Fine! I hope you two have fun together!
~She left and Neteyam broke down~
La'Reya- It's ok! I'm sorry!
Neteyam- Let's go to our spot *He sniffled*
~We went to our cave~
Neteyam- La'Reya?
La'Reya- Yes?
~He went up to me and kissed me, I kissed him back~
Neteyam- I want us to be together!
La'Reya- We can be! *I smiled*
Neteyam- Really!? *He smiled*
La'Reya- *I kissed him* does that answer it? *I smiled*
Neteyam- Yes *He smiled and kissed me*
