Fragments Of Love Series Part 2: Healing Love [ SandRay - Only Friends ]

B(l)ack Again

"How is the therapy going?" Mew turned to Ray after he had completed the first month of therapy.

"It's bloody tiring." Ray ran a hand through his hair. "We really talk a lot about my past and how that can carry over into my current situation. And the hours with Sand feel great as well. Even though we hardly speak to each other during the week, I feel like these conversations are fantastic for both of us." Mew placed a hand on Ray's shoulder and squeezed it lightly.

"I'm so glad you're going to therapy and that you and Sand really want to work on yourselves."

"The task that Dr. Ayan gave us this week is proving to be somewhat difficult." Ray inhaled the smoke from his cigarette. "He wants Sand to talk to Black, and I have absolutely no idea where Black is."

"Have you tried to reach him? Called? Have you been to his house?" Mew tilted his head.

"I've tried everything. He doesn't answer the phone, he can't be reached on social media, and he's not at home either. To be honest, I'm pretty worried about him. What if Tod had something to do with this?" Mew could see the worry on Ray's face. He placed a hand on his best friend's shoulder and squeezed it gently.

"We'll find him. If he were in the hospital somewhere, we would definitely have heard about it, after all Longtae is listed as his emergency contact. Black will definitely come back, we'll find him." Ray just nodded, he was seriously worried about his friend. The situation with Tod had become more and more serious lately, and although he knew that Black was looking out for himself, Ray also knew that this Tod guy, was as far as he knew, able to do everything humanely possible and fucked up.

sandybitch: hey Ray, have you heard from Black?

raysyourglass: not yet, I just can't reach him

sandybitch: do you have any idea what might have happened?

raysyourglass: I really have no idea

sandybitch: if you hear anything let me know, yes?

raysyourglass: will do

Sand put his phone aside. His eyes wandered to the television. It was a boring day, very boring. He tried to reach the others and wanted to know if they would like to go to Yolo, but without success. Boston and Nick had gone away for the weekend, and Longtae and Summer had already had plans as well.

The thought of asking Ray if he wanted to meet up had crossed his mind several times, but until now Sand had always shaken it off. His eyes went to his phone. He had mentioned in therapy that he didn't know exactly how to deal with his feelings and emotions towards Ray. Dr. Ayan had advised him to go with his gut feeling and if he felt uncomfortable in a situation, to walk away from it. Sand took a deep breath and picked up his phone again.

sandybitch: sorry to bother you again, but do you maybe have time today?

raysyourglass: are you a clone? what did you do with sand?

sandybitch: .... Don't be so dramatic, just answer my question

raysyourglass: I have time, do you want to come to the motel? We could have a swim in the pool if you want to

sandybitch: sounds good :)

raysyourglass: see you soon then?

sandybitch: see you soon Ray ^^

Sand quickly packed the most important things in a backpack, his cigarettes, keys, swimming trunks, towel and another T-shirt before leaving his apartment. He had a strange feeling in his stomach as he hopped on his motorcycle and made his way to the Only Friends Stay. He didn't even know why he was now on the way to Ray, the man he was supposed to hate, or at least not like anymore.
But he was the only one who had time for him right now, and it couldn't hurt to get a little closer, right?
