Chapter 2 Stitches

~Sarah~
I'd thought that I'd been hurt before
But no ones ever left me this sore

I throw my phone at the wall
That Asshole!

Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

"Whoa whoa Sarah what happened?" My closest friend Lachlan asked me as his familiar Australian accent rang through my phone making me wish he was still in America
"He lied to me" was all I could manage out
My boyfriend had lied to me
Cheat
Stole
And lied to me
All at once

Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know I'll make it out alive

"Who are you talking to Lachlan?" I heard the familiar female American accent ask...
Lachlan's girlfriend
Ugh I can't stand listening to her
"Sarah!" He shouts back
And with that I hear a fight starting up
I set my phone down and take a deep breath
I hated listening to my crush or mainly known as Lachlan talk to his girlfriend she was an Asshole
I run my fingers over my scars
Light and faded old ones not as new
Lachlan and I hadn't met in person just yet so he never saw them and never will

If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

I move my ex's clothes that he had left in a box and grab pictures of us together and put it in the box
One by one I take a shirt, a pair of pants, boxers, a sock or a picture and burn it
The fire grows bigger by the moment higher and higher I feel like a villain in a story

You watch me bleed until I can't breath
Shaking falling into my knees

Lachlan calls me once more
He never called me twice in one hour unless something really happened to him or his family
"Hello?" I said with curiosity
"So I am visiting America this up coming week and I was hoping we could meet up you know just you and I"

And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself

The phone call had been brief nothing long
I slide a finger over my lips
Lachlan kissed me once
When he thought I was asleep
I had fallen asleep on his bed while he was recording and he slept on the floor
But before he slept he kissed me
Square on the lips
After a few weeks of several debates upon when Lachlan was to visit
Lachlan came two weeks earlier than he had first planned out

Aching begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses I'll
Be needing stitches

Lachlan came at an interesting time
I had fallen asleep in the bath like usual except I had fallen under the water
Not usual
Lachlan had knocked on my door a few times and when I didn't answer he rushed through out the house looking for Me?
Why me?
Well He saved me...I guess
But then again
Why me? What did I do? What did I do to deserve his care?
"What we're you dreaming about?" He asked moving some hair from my mouth once he had awakened me and wrapped me in a towel and sat me beside him

Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh you lured me in I couldn't sense the pain

I bit my lip
I couldn't tell him
Could I?
Could I tell him it was about us?
Could I?
He looked me square in the eyes
Searching for anything
"Oh it's nothing" I said waving a hand in the nothing kind of gesture

Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own

"I assure you it is something" he says tilting my head up
I bit my lip again
Now he was on to me

Needle and the thread gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread gonna wind up dead

I am so bottled up with emotions I don't know what to do kiss him or slap him? Kiss? Slap? Probably kiss
Which is what I did
I kisses Lachlan square on the lips
Holding him close with one free arm while the other still holds the towel so that that doesn't fall

Needle and the thread gotta get you outta my head
Needle and the thread gonna wind up dead

I pull away blushing
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have- it's just that- I've loved you forever" I suddenly blurt out
"Then that makes two of us" Lachlan says
His ice blue eyes mesmerizing

Needle and the thread gotta get you outta my head
Needle and the thread gonna wind up dead

I blush
"That dream was when we first met " I say a bit shy Lachlan's smile grows even bigger
"The day I met the most amazing person ever" he starts
"Lachlan" I say turning from him
He spins me around
"What?"
"You have a girlfriend" I say in a weird tone
I mean I know I was Canadian and everything but that didn't give me an excuse to use emphasize

You watch me bleed until I can't breath

"Things are difficult between us"
He starts rubbing his neck

Shaking falling onto my knees

Well then I guess he is sort of single
I place my hand on his
"I'm sure you guys will be fine"
He shakes his head
"That would be a hard game she bloody jealous as hell " he starts

And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches

"Sarah Plaj will you be my girlfriend"
I stand there shocked
And my towel almost falls
I pull it over me and nod
"Yes" I say with a big smile

And now that
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

And now that
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

"Yes Lachlan"
