Lauroth~ A Fan Fiction of Love <3

~Chapter 4~

Laurence's P.O.V

I had to get away from him ASAP, if I stayed by him any longer I wouldn't have been able to contain myself and kissed him. I knew Aphmau liked me, but she had no idea I loved someone else, and of the opposite gender for that matter. I almost kissed Garroth AGAIN, if Aphmau had of seen she would have been heart broken. I felt terrible for leaving him and making him do my shift but I just needed to get away. I practically run into the guard tower and run into my room, slamming the door behind me. The walls shake from the impact of the slam and some dust falls from the ceiling. I feel my heart melt and I feel the blood rush to my cheeks. I slide down the door and hold my chest smiling. I almost kissed him! He didn't back away, but of course Aphmau ruined the moment, I feel myself blush. Snap out of it Laurence! You need to stop. There is a high possibility that he isn't even gay. He is like family to you and you don't want to ruin it.

But I couldn't get the thought out of my head that he could like me.

Laurence's P.O.V

When I wake up the blinding sun shines brightly through my window, I roll over hoping that it would go back down and I could close my eyes again and dream. But my wish didn't come true, I groan and sit up slightly. I soon come to realization that I left Garroth to do my night shift all night and I never went back to him. Guilt swims through me as I throw my uniform out and no caring how I look. I grab my sword on the way out and sprint out of my room, down the stairs and out of the tower. My head franticly looks around hoping that I would see him, but I see nothing. Worry fills my mind and I start sprinting down the path. When I turn the corner I see a sleeping Garroth leaning up against the docks, his helm covering his face. As I walk closer and closer to go wake him up or carry him back to the tower. I realize he has blood gushing from under his armour and a big gash running from his left hip to under his heart. I gasp in fear and drop my sword. Forget about being quiet, I stumble as I get closer to him as I start to loose balance and my legs grow wobbly. I drop down at his side, the blood won't stop. I remove the helm from his face and see tear stained cheeks. I scream for help and take my hand and apply pressure to the wound trying to stop the bleeding but its no use. I hear faint footsteps and turn around to see the perfect person for this situation... Donna. She comes running down to the docks tripping over the last 3 steps and falling, but she gets up right away. Her eyes widen when she sees Garroth and she sprints over, holding her dress up so she doesn't trip.

"Oh my Irene... What happened?" She places her hand over his forehead to feel his temperature. Then checks for a pulse. Her worry fades a little when she looks at me and lets out a breath.

"I-I don't k-know... I-I left him to do my n-night shift a-and I came to f-find him and I-I saw t-this and..." My breathing hitches and I stumble every 3 words, tears start to form in my eyes but I stay strong and push them back.

Donna stands and puts her hand on my shoulder and squeezes it gently, "He'll be okay, I'll do the best I can to make sure he stays alive" A tear rolls down her cheek but she wipes it away quickly.

"Bring him to my house, we will get him fixed up.." I nod and stand up firmly.

I bend down to pick him up, he feels light in my arms.. Guess that's what being a Shadow Night does to you.. I hold him close and tightly in my arms, I whisper quietly "It'll be okay Garroth, just stay with me I can't loose you." he sobs quietly in his sleep but relaxes in my arms. I adjust his weight and continue walking.. Please be okay, this is all my fault.

Garroth P.O.V

~1 Hour Earlier~

As I walk down the streets of Phoenix Drop I walk down to the docks, watching the sun slowly rise from the horizon. It reminds me of Laurence for some odd reason. He's all I've been thinking about lately and I can't get a hold of my thoughts or my heart. I'm falling hard for him, it's not just a silly crush anymore.

Out of the corner of my eye I see a shadowy figure walking towards me, I go to grab my sword but it's not there I look down frantically confused. I shoot my head up and whip my head in every direction possible. But there is not use and I'm too late, a strong force hits me in my stomach and I go flying backwards my back hitting hard against the mountain and my limp body slide down. I feel blood running down the back of my head. A sharp blade meets my skin and makes a swift clean cut in an upwards motion going from my right hip up to right under my heart. The air gets sucked out of my lungs and my head flies forward as my body stays still. The impact made me fly into the air slightly and all I remember is my head hitting the ground and everything going black and dark.

Laurence's P.O.V

~2 Hours Later~

I watch as Garroth gets stitched up by Donna, her small hands making perfect stitches back and forth. She's obviously done this before. He flinches and squeezes my hand in his sleep, I hold it tightly as tears fill my eyes but I push them back. Grow a pair Laurence! I tell myself. I know you love him but you have to try and be strong, he's the strongest guy you know he can do this. Donna places the needle and stitches back in her First-Aid kit and takes out a bandage and wraps it gently around his torso.

"There good as new!" she smiles and is clearly proud of herself. She looks at my with glee on her face. "He'll make a full recovery, you'll just have to give him some time." I nod my head and look back down at him. I brush back a piece of hair off of his sweaty forehead. I let out a breath I had no idea I was holding and leaned back in my chair. "I'll go get Aphmau and fill her in" she walks out of the room. I sigh, when she comes in here she'll rush to his bedside and care for him, then I'll be forced to leave. I laugh a little when I see a small grin pull at his lips in his sleep. I smile like I haven't in a while. I let myself drown in my own thoughts, I'm so happy he is alive and safe. I don't know what I would do without him and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Um, So I'm working so hard on this story and absolutely no one is reading it so Im kinda embarrassed. But, I am having fun and that's all that matters to me. I hope that one day more than 3 people read this though. Anyways, I have to go now and I hope you all have a great day <3

Stay Gorgeous~ Emillee ^-^
