His P.O.V.
I wake up to a monsterous headache. I think, what caused this? It's still dark and the girl still sleeps beside me. My stomach sinks with butterflies. She looks so painless, at ease, relaxed. I rub the side of her cheek, not to wake her up but to comfor her in her sleep. I suddenly feel a crash on the back of my head knocking me out, my body slumping forward.

Her P.O.V.
I wake up to pain in my body. I open my eyes and the boy is slumped over me. Blood from the back of his head fiery red. #2, my roommate stands above him with a piece of metal in her hands. Immeadiately I go into action. I hobble around the bed, push number two out of the way, and check his pulse. The beat of his heart is fast. His eyes flutter open and he looks scared. I put my arms around him feeling happy he's awake. I pull him into the bathroom to clean him up. I turn the light on. It's bright and I have to squint and blink a couple times before I can see. I take out cloth and dampen it and look at him. I make a slight buzzing noise and then pinch his arm a little.
"It's gonna sting?" he asks. I nod and he laughs a little and then says "Thank you". I nod and then start cleaning up the wound. #2 comes to stand in the door glaring at him. She suddenly sees my face and says loudly
"What happened to you one?!?" The boy looks up at her while I clean his head.
"I saved her. Apparently I need saving too." #2 smirks in the doorway and I look up at her and glare at her. She leaves the room and just me and the boy are left.
I finish cleaning up his wound and apply gauze and then a bandage. I put out my right hand and I kiss the tips and then slightly touch his bandage. "all better?" he asks and I nod my head. His takes his hand and kisses the tips just as I did seconds ago and then puts it lightly against my cheek. He looks me in the eyes and then slowly walks out of the room. I stay in the bathroom to look at my horrid face and I see my left eye is becoming unswollen. For that matter everything has started to go down in size.
Outside of the bathroom I hear #2 talk. "I'm sorry for hitting you..." I hear no reply and neither did #2 I guess. "Are you gonna answer me?" I peak though the crack of the door in time to see the boy shake his head no. "Why not?" he just shrugs and turns his back to her. #2 looks in my direction making sure I'm still in here and then picks up her blood stained metal. She slowly raises it above her head... I realize what she's about to do so I dart out of the bathroom and raise my left arm above my head and stand in front of my boy. A strong no erupts from my throat hurting my neck and jaw but I stand firm. She brings the metal down as I was moving but I protected him from this blow with my arm. I crack bursts from my arm. It hurts even more than it did the first time. This time it wasn't from an angry stranger but from my friend. I pass out from the pain with tears on my face.

His p.o.v.
I leave the girl to herself in the bathroom. I follow the other girl into their tiny living space. I sit on the girl's bed and look towards the girl who hit me. I sort of glare at her in a way that she doesn't know that I am but I still feel better after doing it. She finally says "I'm sorry for hitting you..." I don't feel comfortable talking to her so I don't reply. "Are you gonna answer me?" I shake my head no and then she says "Why not?" I just shrug and turn away because I don't want her talking to me anymore. A couple seconds pass and then I hear a no come out of no where. I slowly turn around and then see my girl standing in front of me with her arm above her head and then I see the metal hit her arm and a crack resounds through the room. My girl falls to the floor and I see the dumbstruck roommate look at what she just did.
I growl at her as I rush to pick up my girl "It would be wise of you to leave." I turn my back to her as I hear a sob and the slamming of the door. I'm trying to find something to bind her arm so it heals straight. The only thing I see is the piece of metal. I take it and clean it and the blood from her arm. I use the sheets from the roommate's bed. I bind it to her arm and rub her cheek. She slowly awakens and I kiss the tips of my fingers and get dangerously close to her arm. "All better." I pick her up so she can put her right arm around me and I carry her to her bed. I tuck her in and I walk away to find the roommate.
A voice startles me "Where are you going?" I turn around and my girl looks at me one eye wide. Her voice sounds strained and painful.
"I'm going to find your roommate."
Straining her voice again "Number Two?"
"Yes, I won't be gone long, don't use your voice. You want to get better right?" As she nods and I leave the room. Luckily I find #2 right outside in the hallway. She looks up at me with sad eyes.
"Is she alright?" I nod to the question and I gesture for her to come in the room. "Is she mad?" I shake my head. "You sure?" feeling restless I nod once and walk in the room. I hear #2 get up behind me and she follows close behind. Her sniffles are the only audible sound in the room. The awkwardness was so thick it basically had a noise of it's own. My girl is laying down with her eyes closed. She must be in a lot of pain seeing as she had her arm broken minutes ago. I see her chest rise and fall and I think she may be sleeping. She suddenly opens her eyes and looks at me.
All I can say is "Here she is." Number Two quickly walks up to and then kneels beside my girl and mumbles so quietly I almost can't hear it.
"I'm so sorry one. I don't know what came over me. I just want to protect you. We're in this together. Did he hurt you? I just thought that he may not understand our... predicament." My girl shakes her head no and Number Two looks her over. "What's wrong with your voice?"
Two looks over at me and I mumble "Someone strangled her. I luckily got there before it got any worse."
Horror crosses over the other girls face and she says hurridly "We have to get you to the hospital! Now horror acknowledges my girl's face.
Hearing myself speak I quickly let out a "No."
Number Two looks at me with hatred in her eyes "Why not?!?"
"I already broke her out. She doesn't want to be there."
"What makes you think that?"
I smile and say "because she was trying to break herself out when I caught her."
The brown eyed girl looks at me with sudden realization and I remember where I saw her last.
"Your the boy who walked in to the kitchen weren't you?" I nod but that doesn't seem enough to her. "Why didn't you talk or want to talk now?"
I shake my head no because I don't want to talk and then I grab a pillow to sleep on the floor. I hear a patting sound and I sit up. My girl wants me to resume sleeping next to her. I climb in just as I did before but this time not looking at Two. She snuggles in close and I feel her heartbeat once more. I start to just lay down but my girl pats my arm and strokes her nose.
"Do you want me to do that again?" She nods a little and so I rub her nose from the top and to the bottom and she quickly falls asleep. Feeling warm and cozy I drift off to sleep.
