Complications

6. Valentino

Later that night, me and Vox were at his house, cuddling when suddenly my phone rings. I answer and Velvette is on the other end saying:

"Is Vox there? Zestial has just called me saying he needs Vox there early tomorrow. Vox will be gone for 2 weeks" She screams down the phone.

Vox wakes up slowly and he asks who it is. I tell him all the details and he tells Velvette he will be there first thing tomorrow. My heart breaks at the thought of no Vox for 2 weeks.

Vox slowly drifts off back to sleep and I stand up, heading for the bathroom. I look in the mirror and I open the cabinet. I take my pill bottle and I take 2 of them. Swallowing hard, trying not to cry.

I push the thoughts out of my mind, for now. I try not to do it again, but the urge comes flooding back everytime I'm trying to think about something else.

Vox sees me talking to myself in Spanish and he says "hey Val? Something on your mind?" I look over at him and I shake my head. I go back over to him and I wrap moth wings around him.

He hugs me tightly and he kisses my cheek "everything ok?" He asks me. I nod and he pulls me closer. "Let's go back to sleep then, yeah?" We cuddle in close and we fall asleep eventually in each other's arms.

~time skip~

I woke up to the movement of Vox, he sat up right in a matter of moments. Shaking, crying. He grips onto my hand as he stares at the front of the bed. Staring into space.

I squeeze his hand and I gently turn his head to face me. I can feel him shaking as he tries to cover his mouth, I'm assuming from shock.

I pull him onto my lap and I rub his back gently. He tightens his grip on my hand and on my shirt, as if something bad was going to happen to me.

I whisper in a calm and soothing tone "shhhh, it's ok, don't worry, it's ok...." I look him in his eyes and I smile warmly at him. Digs his head into my chest and I smile as he does so.

He stays close to me as I ask "what's wrong baby?" He takes time to catch his breath before saying "I had a nightmare, you were in trouble and I couldn't help you..."

He starts to cry again and he grips onto my shirt as if I'm going to leave him. I stay hold his hand gently and I rub his palm back and forth to prove how much he means to me.

He cries into my shoulder but after a while he calls down and catches his breath. I pull away and I put my hands on his shoulders as I look him in his eyes.

"You do know I'm never going to leave you that easily, it will take weeks for you to be able to get rid of me" I say in a way to cheer him up. He chuckles slightly and I pull him closer.

"I'm sorry, I'm a mess-" he says and I cut him off by saying "who told you that?"
He has some confusion on his face when I ask him that.

"N.. Nobody did, I just... Well, am" when he heard that, my heart shattered. My higher set of arms wrap around his screen and gently rubs the back of it. The lower set is resting on his waist.

"You may be a mess, but you are my mess, ok?" I pull away from the hug and I put my hands on shoulders. I look into his eyes as my mother wings linger around us for protection.

Ok, so I know this one was kinda long, but oh well. But late to change it now isn't it. See you in the next Chapter.
