—• Astro! POV •—
I to get Shelly back to sleep until morning. I woke up and saw Shelly gone. I got up and looked at food court after getting dressed.. not there, strange. I know! I'll check the library! She might be with brightney looking for dinosaur facts!
I ran towards the library. For a second I thought she wasn't here until I heard a deep sigh.. someone was crying.. I should go check on them. I walk around looking until I realized who it was.. "Shelly?!" I said worried .
I walked up to her and sat next to her "Shelly.. what happened.?" I looked at her intensely.
"I-I'm fine! Leave me alone!" She didn't want him to know. "Shelly." He says very seriously
— Shelly pov —- 🐚
I don't want him to know.. he's too overprotective! I move away..
"Shelly.. what's wrong sunflower?" Astro says as he pulls me close
"N-nothing!! Please stop" she says as she continued to huddle up hugging her knees to her face
All of a sudden I get picked up.. Astro? I didn't know his was that strong.. I haven't seen his arms before to.
He sat me on his lap and grabbed my chin making me look at him as he caressed my cheek and wiped my tears with his thumb "what's wrong." He said sternly
I stay quiet while I feel hot and red.. "u-um" I say quietly as I fiddle with my fingers
"Well. I want answers" Astro said getting closer. "I fell while grabbing books.." he looks at me longer "Shelly what actually happened." He said more upset
"Well.. you promise not to get mad at m-me..?" I said scared. He gets closer and rubs my back "why would I have a reason to get upset with you..?" He said
"Well.. I was tryna get a book then shrimpo wanted it too.. I said we can share it and he didn't seem to like that idea.. he t-t-then hit me until I gave it to him.." I started to tear up again
".." no respond "a-a-Astro.. are you o-okay" I said abit worried.. "where did he hurt you." He said examining my body "I'm fine really.." I said trying to make him happy
"Shelly. Show em now." Damn he looks scary like that "Astro please!" I said trying to get though to him ".." he then stands up and picks my up and finds where he hit you
"You're not getting away with it so fast.." he said more calmer .. he finds where there's open cuts and bruises.
"let's go to my room.." Astro says before he picks my wrapping me in the blanket with me "comfortable sunflower.." he said less intimating "u-uh yea.." I said abit nervous
We went to his room and he grabs rubbing alcohol to clean my wound .. I thought to myself: I do not want that! It's gonna sting.. !! You continue to sweat and hide your scars
"Shelly... may I have your arm please?" He said calmly as he put the rubbing alcohol on a cloth "I-I'm fine really.. " she sweats more ..
"Shelly.. stop this! You're not now gimme your arm.." he said with his hand out waiting for hers to connect.
I slowly give him my arm and look away .. "if it hurts to much let me know. " he said as he started applying it.
I screamed lightly and whined aswell shred more tears.. why did it sting so much?! "Shelly you're doing a good job.." he continued to add the alcohol onto my scars
I pull back with instinct as I hide my arm "i-it hurts.. I-i-I'm fine!!" I said then Astro whispers to my ear as he takes my arm back " you were doing so good.. only a few more okay.?" He started to continue I wished this all ended already. He bandaged them up and his cold hands cupped my face "see that wasn't hard.! Good girl" .. I stared lost.. did he just say that. To me? I looked away and quickly slapped my hands into my palm
"Ohhh, starlight what's wrong..?" He said teasingly as he grabs her waist .. I was too startled and weak I tried leaving his grip he then said " heha.. nighty night.. see you when you wake up sunflower." He said as everything went black
