In their Shadows.

-Chapter 7-

Coppers pov

I woke up, and I was still holding onto Touyas' hand. I looked at the time and noticed it's 3. I just got up and walked out of the room and went downstairs. All the lights were off but luckily I can see in the dark. I just walked over to the couch and sat there.

Shit no wonder it's August 30th. Damn can't believe it's been 12 years now since Cooper died. I sat on the couch and stared off into space for about 2 hours until the lights turned on. I looked over at the doorway and saw Touya.

Did I wake you up, sorry? He shook his head and said,"No, your alarm, you left your phone in the room." Oh, sorry. He handed me my phone and asked,"How long have you been down here in the dark?"

3. I went upstairs and got ready and left early. In the corner of my eye, I could see Coopers helmet was sitting by the bed, so I decided to ride it today. Before I left, Touya stopped me and said,"Be careful. I don't want to get a call saying you got in an accident."

I will be I always am. He waved, and I waved back and left on the motorcycle. I stopped at the store and got some flowers, and went out to his grave. I noticed my grave is right next to his. Hi, Cooper. I know it's been a while since I visited you. I'm sorry.

I ran away from home. I couldn't stand it anymore. Ha, I brought you flowers even though you were never too big on flowers. I mean, here's a Pepsi your favorite. I'm gonna head to work, though I miss you.

I kissed my hand, then touched the top of his grave and walked off. Good thing I wasn't wearing mascara, or it would be all down my face. I just drove off towards work. I went to go when I almost got hit. Hey what the fuck asshole!

I turned, and the next thing I knew, a car ran a red light, and I went flying over the car. Everything is blurry, and I try to walk it off. I can't really walk. I keep falling. I finally notice my motorcycle, but everything is ringing and spinning. A lady is in front of me trying to ask me stuff, and I notice the door to my work open, and everyone runs out.

Next thing I know, I start falling, and everything goes black. I wake up in a room thingy. A lady walks in with a baby and says,"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry my baby was screaming. I looked back to see what was wrong and ran the light."

It's alright. I get it. I'm not mad, or how does my bike look? She smiles and says,"Only has a few scratches. I'm glad you're okay, though. How much do you think it will be to fix it? I'll pay." No, it's good. I like keeping the scratches. I kept it from my brother motorcycle accident, to it's been 12 years today since he died in a motorcycle accident.

She looked stuned, and a doctor walked in and had a paper. She looked at me and said," Okay, good news, you only fractured your collarbone on the right side and had to get stitches on your right eyebrow." She smiled and said,"You're good to leave. Wait, you're serious, so now I have another scar going over the same eye?

She smiled and said,"Yeah, when it scars you, you'll have two." I signed my discharge papers and noticed I don't have a car. Shit. The lady came up beside me and asked,"Want me to give you a ride?" Oh wait, I have wings. No, thank you.

I started flying to work and landed in front. Hey, look, my motorcycle and helmet. I walked in, and everyone looked shocked. Can I help you all? Leo looked pissed and yelled,"What the fuck are you doing here you shouldn't be at work go home and rest."

It's not that bad I just have a fractured collarbone stitches on my head and bruises all over. He pointed out, and I put my helmet on and drove off. Dumb bitch I could've worked.

I finally made it home and walked in. Everyone was on the couch, and they all looked at me. I dropped my helmet and kicked it sideways over to the shoe rack. Yes? Everyone looked at me still, and Touya yelled,"What the fuck happened?"

It wasn't my fault. Someone ran a red light and hit me. Touya jumped up, and cane running over, looking all over. I told you I'm all right. He hugged me and said,"I told you to be careful." I know you did, but hey, at least I didn't join my brother.

It's 12 years today he died on that motorcycle. Touya smacked the back off my head and said,"Don't say that." Okay, fine, I'm taking a nap before later, okay, okay. Wake me up around lunch, please.

I went upstairs, let my hair down, took off my pants, and took off my shirt and laid down. I didn't think much about it, but someone climbed into bed with me. I just cuddled up on em and noticed it's Touya. I just wrapped my whole body around him and fell back asleep.

After a while, I got woken up by a alarm. I ended up smacking Touya. Shut that the fuck up. He rolled over in pain while saying,"Fuck that was my dick." I just sat up and turned on my lamp. I looked at him and saw him curled up in a ball.

I just stood up, and he looked at me up and down, and his face went bright red. What? He looked away and said,"Uh, it's nothing it's just you were cuddled up and wrapped around me basically naked." I looked down and noticed I was in my bra and underwear.

My mouth dropped, and I started apologizing. I am so sorry I wasn't thinking straight. He nodded while looking at the floor. I grabbed a shirt and put it on. There I'm covered. He looked up and said,"Hey, that's my shirt."

Hey, I mean, I can take it off. He smiled and said,"I mean, you can do whatever I just thought you didn't want me looking at you basically naked." I just shrugged and sat on the bed.

Why did you have an alarm set? He sat up and said,"You told us to wake you up around lunch, so I did." Oh well, that was stupid of me. He just shook his head. Pizza sounds good? He nodded, so I ordered pizza. We'll it's gonna be about 20 minutes. I took off the shirt and picked up mine and put my pants and shirt back on.

Are you gonna come with me? He nodded, so he got up and put his jeans and a tanktop on. I grabbed a ponytail and kept trying to put my hair up. I finally just used air and twisted it into a bun. Ha, that works. He just shook his head and we left the room.

So how has your day been? He looks at me and says,"Pretty good until you punched me in the dick." Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. You know how I get when I get woken up. He just shook his head while laughing.

See, you're laughing about it now, so it was funny. He just lightly pushed me and said,"Shut up, or your ass is sleeping on the floor." Okay okay damn. We just kept walking until we got to the place. I paid, and we grabbed the pizza and went back to the hideout.

Touya opened the door for me, and I put all 4 pizzas on the counter and screamed. Pizza! They all came down, and I just walked over to the couch with 2 pieces. So what time are yall doing your thingy?

Shigi put a finger up, finished eating his piece, and said," We're gonna leave here at 6." Okay, so I'll start around 5:30 just to make sure. They all nodded, and I took another bite. Uh it's fucking hot. I went upstairs and changed my pants and walked back down.

Shigi looked at my fake leg and said," That's only the second time I've seen your leg." Yeah, I don't like the way it looks, so I hide it. He nods and says," Eh, I think it makes you look more bad ass." Ha, thanks, Shigi. He just shrugged and turned on the TV.

It was abunch of bull shit so I just grabbed like 4 pieces and went upstairs. Right when I finished my last piece, Touya walked in and asked,"When did you come up?" After Shigi turned on the news. He just nodded, and I threw away my plate.

I'm laying back down. He just nodded, turned on an alarm, and shut off the light. Okay, so you're joining me? He nodded, and I took off my shirt again. He had one eyebrow raised and was staring at me.

May I help you? He just shook his head and asked,"Are you also taking off your pants?" I don't know. I wanna, can I? He just nodded and said,"Do whatever makes you comfortable." Okay. I took off my pants and got back on the bed. I grabbed the blanket, put it on my back, and laid on him.

He started playing with my hair, and my wings just spread across the bed. He just smiled, and I moved a little. I wrapped my arms around him, and he started tracing my scars.
