Leeroy Payne

Chapter 6: Through The Dark

Leeroy's POV***

Since Amy doesn't want to go home I take her to my place. She seems so fragile and I am afraid of doing anything that would hurt her. We are sitting on my bed just talking when she asks if she can be excused to use the loo.  I nod and she walks into the bathroom. 

I started watching the telly when she went into the bathroom. It had been quite a while since she went in there. I decided to go check on her. I knocked on the door and there was no aswer. "Amy...?," I call out. Still no answer. 

My heart starts to pound against my chest. I reach for the doorknob, and suprisingly, it isn't locked. I look in and she is sitting in the corner sobbing. My heart breaks at the sight of her so torn. A single tear rolls down my cheak before I go to approach her. 

I get her to stand up and come to my room again. I asked her what was the matter and she just broke into tears and fell into my arms. We sit there for a while just embraced in each others arms. After a bit, she unwraps her arms and pulls away.

As she pulls away, I see something that causes a tear to escape. I double take and I saw what I saw. Dark, wet, red blood seeping through the sleeve of her shirt. I immdiately grabbed her arms and without her struggling to pull away, I rolled up her sleeves.

The sight that I see causes me to just break down. Deep, red gashes pointing in every which direction. So many. So much blood. What has happened to my angel.

"Amy...," is all that manages to escape from my mouth. I wish I knew what happened. "Why Amy, why baby girl?" She looks at me and sighs.

Amy's POV***

Leeroy caught me. I just want to be dead at this point. I was a mistake to begin with. I was never wanted. Leeroy is the only person who makes me feel wanted. I just can't believe he caught me.

He asked me what happen. I just sigh and let the tears fall. I'm not ready to tell him yet. I need to calm down before I explain to him what happened. 

We sit there for an hour or so with Leeroy just comforting me as I let all my tears run dry. Finally my tears stop and I look up at him. "Leeroy," I manage to mumble. His eyes immediately dart to mine in the hopes that he will get the answer that he wants. I nod to him and say, "I'm ready to talk." He looks at me, smiles, and kisses me passionately. "I'm ready when you are," Leeroy exclaimed.

I barely get through my first sentence before the tears start again, but I get everything between sobs. After I pour everything out, Leeroy is in tears. "Baby girl, why would anyone not want you. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met. I know we just met, but I love you, Amy. I really do. And even with the cuts here on your arms, I will always be here. I will never leave you. I want to be with you forever," Leeroy confesses.

Did he just say he loves me? Did he just say he will always be here? Did he just say I am beautiful? Did he say the cuts on my arms don't matter to him? He did. And I think I love Leeroy too. Before I think about it, I crash my lips into Leeroy's to show him how much he means to me. Our lips move in unision. 

Leeroy snakes his arm under the backside of my legs and lifts me bridal style. He shifts me so I am sat on his lap, still being held bridal style. His other arm is wrapped around my back, pulling me closer to him every second that our lips are pressed together.

He breaks the kiss, leans his forehead against mine and says, "Come on, angel. Let's get your arms all cleaned up. Let's have these cuts represent us. Let them represent the time we begin to make through the dark, together. I will love you, always, and forever."

*** SOOOOO sorry for such the long wait. I have been REALLY busy with school and work and family. I hope I can update again soon. Please leave some ideas for the next chapter in the comments.
