<BrOhm> A Simple Hello

Part 9

~~~~~Ohm's Pov~~~~~ <3

I probably shouldn't have skipped.
I probably shouldn't be in love with Bryce.
I probably shouldn't be thinking about Bryce when I have Cry.

I am a very lucky man to be with such an amazing person.
He is everything I could ask for, except one thing.

He isn't Bryce.

I let out a groan and slammed my fist down on my desk.
"Why is everything so fucked?!" I yelled. Wishing someone would give me an answer.

But I was alone.
I'm always alone.

My parents went to Georgia to visit my fathers parents for the holiday.

------------ Idk, trigger warning. I'm sorry.;(----/---

I went to my fathers cabinet and grabbed his booze. Also finding my brothers secret stash.

This will do.

I went to my bathroom and sat there for a moment.
"Do I really want to do this?"
Without hesitating I took a huge sip of my fathers Johnny.

I didn't take anything from my brothers stash, thinking it would be overkill.

And I should've known Bryce would come check on me.
Because right as I cut into my arm for the fifth or sixth time I heard his soft voice.

"Ohm? Hello? Why does it smell?" He got closer and closer.

Even though I was totally out of it, i knew this wasn't going to end good.

So I fumbled for a towel, a really thick towel, to cover it up and mop up blood. And I turned on the bathtub and laid down in it.
Fully clothed. And I didn't lay, I fell.

I hit my head and everything went fuzzy.
Damnit Ryan! Stay awake! You can't let Bryce see you like this.

"I'm taking a bath!" I yelled as I heard him walk into my room.

"Oh! Okay, sorry. Was just a little worried." He let out a nervous giggle.

I heard him say something but I couldn't make it out. Then he said it a few more times, getting a little more urgent as he said it.

Then I heard the doorknob turn.

"Ryan!" He yelled. Running over to me and trying to pull me out.
I didn't realize I was halfway underneath the slowly raising water.

"Why?" He kept saying over and over again. And for a second I wanted to yell and kiss him.

But I knew this wouldn't be a good time.

"It's okay. It's okay." I said reaching up trying to touch his face, when I saw him hyperventilate.

"No. it's not Ryan!" I thought I heard him say I love you.
But I'm sure it was my imagination or in a friendly way.

"I'm fine now." I whispered.

He sniffled and grabbed onto me. Giving me a hug.
"Please don't ever do that again." He struggled getting words out but he managed.

"I won't." It wasn't good enough for him. I could tell by the way his eyes looked at me.
"I promise." I really don't promise things, but I wanted him to be okay.

He nodded.
Then he got up and walked out. Leaving me baffled.
The fuck just happen.

I stumbled out of the bathroom feeling wet and tired.

He came into my room with a first aid kit, a pill and a glass of orange juice.

I thanked him and took the pill. Drowning it with the orange.
And Bryce was carefully tending my cuts.

"They aren't that bad." I mumbled.

"They aren't that bad?! Really! They.. they" I used my other hand to caress his face.

"I'm sorry." He just nodded.
To be honest they are bad, but not as bad as the ones before.

"I'm staying here for the rest of the week." He announced.

"What? What about school?" I asked.

"Thanksgiving break. I usually skip out on the holiday. You know because of my dad and all." He said patting my arm.

I.
Am.
Going.
To.
Die.

He dragged me into the living room.
And for the rest of the night we watched movies.

In the middle of the last movie, for Bryce, we were touching shoulders.

And at the end he had his head on my chest and his arms wrapped around me.
His warmth made me feel alive.
His soft breathing was absolutely beautiful.
Just like everything about him.

And he moved. His whole body shifted closer to me.

I turned down the tv and started humming. It was a relaxing thing I do when I feel like I can't go to sleep.
After awhile I softly singing a lyric. "I'm always tired but never of you."

And in response to my voice Bryce let out a small huff. Making me smile.

As I laid my head on top of his, I drifted off to sleep.
