The Last Hour

Part 19

Roan's POV:

I sat in Bram's bed, chewing on my lower lip in thought as I tried to calm myself down. I rub my fingers through my hair, wincing slightly from the pain that shot up my arm and I groan.

It was already 1 am in the morning, and I didn't get any sleep after Bram and I talked.

I sigh softly, closing my eyes and let my mind go. Content flows throughout my body, making my body relax slightly and I reopen my eyes. I get up out of Bram's bed and head to his closet. I look through it to see if he'll have any clothes that would fit on me and of course he didn't.

I pull out some sweats and a tank top out of his closet and head to the bathroom. I slowly peel off my clothes. Wincing every once in a while when my fingers brushed against skin and I looked at myself in the mirror.

My body was badly bruised, my one eye was swollen shut and my lip was cut. I lick my cut lip, and turn on the shower. I silently wait as it took a while for it to warm up, my mind wandered to if I should just leave Bram and go back to Cronus.

Yet again, Cronus would've already disappeared by now and it'll take years to find him again.

The shower begins to fog up, telling me that it was hot enough and I get in with a small hiss of pain as the hot water hit my injuries.

I close my eyes, letting the water hit my body and I just stand there. Not moving or anything.

Bram's POV:

I wake up to the sound of my shower going, I groan as I slowly shift on the couch and look at the time. The clock read 1 am in the morning and I give out a small sigh. I get up off the couch, rubbing away the sleepiness from my eyes and walk to my room. I notice that Roan was the one who was taking the shower and I go over to my bed. My bed dips from my weight and I stare up at the ceiling.

The shower continues, the sound of the water droplets echoed in the bathroom. The door wasn't closed all the way, probably because he thought that I wouldn't enter my room or even be awake right now.

To be honest, I didn't really sleep that well... Unless you count tossing and turning in the middle of night sleep, I grab a pillow and close my eyes. Sleep did hang over me, but I wanted to talk to Roan again before he went to sleep.

The shower turns off after a few minutes later, causing me to sit up on my bed and I wait for him to come back into my room.

The door opens wider, showing Roan walking into my room and I notice he was wearing my clothes; but I don't blame him. He didn't see me right away because he was cleaning his hair off with the towel and he was humming under his breath.

I clear my throat, looking at him and say, "Roan..." I nervously swallow some of the other words that were about to come out of my mouth, but I stopped myself.

Roan's steps faltered, he looks up and his face hardens to a cold expression. "I thought you were asleep..." He says, fixing his hair and he throws the towel into the hamper. He doesn't move from his spot as he waits for me to answer, his brown hair was in every direction.

I shrug slightly and say, " I wasn't exactly sleeping... Just tossing and turning... I heard the shower going and thought you were going to take one and then leave..." I stand up and go over to him, my hands resting at my sides. I wanted to touch him, but restrained myself from doing so.

He takes a step back, looking at me and says, "No... I needed to take a shower and then I was going to bed." He walks past me and heads over to my bed.

I grab him by the wrist, stopping him and I whisper, "I'm sorry, I was going to get Lilian then... But I-... Never mind, I'm just going to let you sleep. I'll be in the living room if you need anything." I let go of his wrist, and walk out of my bedroom and lie back on the couch with a sigh. I pull the blanket over my body and start to fall asleep again.

Footsteps come towards the couch and Roan says softly, "Bram, you don't need to sleep on the couch... This is your house, I should be sleeping on the couch."

I reopen my eye to see Roan looking down at me with a look of some sort and I mutter, "No, I'm fine... Go sleep now..." I bring the blanket closer to my body, being stubborn a bit.

Roan sighs, he rolls his eyes and mutters, "You're being stubborn..." He comes over to the other side and picks me up. He carries me to my room, his lips pursed in a thin line. He sets me down on my bed and heads over to the living room. "Night Bram," he says.

"Roan, don't do this. You can sleep in here as well." I reply, sitting cross legged on my bed as I watch him.

His shoulders shudders slightly, he walks back over to my bedroom and sits down next to me. He rests his head on my shoulder and sighs gently.

I smile at this, I pull him into my grasp and lie down on my bed as I dragged him with me. I kiss the back of his ear and mutter, "I love you..." I fall asleep, going into a peaceful daydream.

Alrighty guys *claps* sorry of this was too short. This isn't like me, but I'm just getting ready for the biggest finale! Duhduhduh!!!! Lol, anyways enjoy.
Sincerely,
Cas
