Austin's pov
It's your fault. That's what the voice inside kept telling me as soon as I woke up, and I believed it. I still haven't opened my eyes to see where I was. I was somewhere warm and soft that's all I knew. I finally opened them and I immediately recognised it as Alan's apartment. I heard footsteps coming and I quickly pulled the covers over my head. "Austin a-are you awake?' he croaked. He had been crying to I could tell. I felt him sit on the other side of the bed and place a hand on my back. He slowly rubbed circles between my shoulder blades trying to sooth me. I peeked over at him and noticed the dark circles under his eyes that were red from tears; he must have slept on the couch. We suddenly locked eyes and he pursed his lips as if he was going to say something but he couldn't come up with anything.
Alan's pov
There was nothing I could say to him. I could say it's going to be okay but what exactly is going to be okay? Hunter is gone and there is nothing we can do to bring her back. It took all of us to drag Austin away from the bridge and I remember him screaming her name as I held him down, keeping him from jumping off himself. I helped him into my apartment and into bed. As soon as my body landed on the couch I began to bawl. I cried until no more tears would come and I let myself drift off to sleep.
Now I'm sitting here with Austin, I looked over at his face; he looked so hurt, so broken, so sad I had to hold back tears. As I rubbed his back I felt the butterflies flutter back. I knew it wasn't the time but you can't control these things. He scooted closer and I watched his hand under the blankets pull out hunters silver charm bracelet he had given her. Austin started tearing up and I pulled him closer to me letting him cry into my chest. "Shhhh" I said trying to calm him but just making myself cry to. It hurt me so much to see him like this, this was hard on all of us but mostly on Austin because she was so close to him after all he was the one who found her in the first place and I guess ever since then he felt as though he should protect her.
I laid my head on top of his crying softly. I could tell him. Right here and now, but I won't. It wasn't the time he needs to heal and so do I, needed him to know how much I do actually love him and it's not because of what has happened. I kissed the top of his head in hopes it would help and it did. His breathing slowed and I felt him relax a little. "A Alan?" I looked down at his crying face "yes Austin?"
"Please don't leave me."
Hunters' pov 30 minutes before Austin arrived
I felt myself pressed up against something warm. Whatever it was it was better than what I thought it would be like hitting the cold dark water beneath the bridge. I took a chance and opened my eyes to realize I was still on the bridge but out near the side of the road. The wind was blowing hard but I was held by something strong I looked up to see Christian holding me into his chest his black hair flying everywhere. Suddenly it hit me; I could be dead right now. Opening my eyes I would have seen the unknown and forever unsolved mysteries of the life after death. I could have drowned in the waters below and let the current take my lifeless body under. All that washed over me so fast I started to cry. He pulled me closer letting my face be buried in his jacket. He just held me there as I sobbed.
"You scared the crap out of me" he whispered. I looked up at him "I- I'm s...Sorry" he placed his forehead against mine "Don't be, just never do it again okay?" I nodded. He picked me up bridal style and he carefully placed me into the passenger seat of what I presume was his car. I curled up into a ball as we drove in silence. When we stopped in front of a large building he helped me out and shakily went inside. He kept his arm around me as we got out of the elevator and went into his apartment. All that went through my mind was I was saved, Christian West is my savior. Inside he brought me into his room and I sat on the edge of the bed. He opened one of the drawers and handed me a big black shirt and a pair of his boxer shorts.
Christian covered his eyes with his hands as I slowly pushed down my pants by the hem. I tried pulling on the shorts but my hands were shaking so much I couldn't do it. I sobbed into my hands in frustration; I was so useless he should have let me jump.
Christian rushed over seeing my problem. I stood up swaying slightly but he used a hand to steady me. With the other he helped me pulled them up. He took the hem of my shirt but stopped, looking at me as if he were asking if it was okay, I just raised my arms up and he lifted my shirt up and over my head.
I was left in just my bra shivering in front of Christian. There were only centimetres between us and I could feel his breath on my neck. At that moment a feeling washed over me. I felt as though I just wanted him close, wrapping his arms around me keeping me warm. Our eyes locked and I just froze. He looked at me with his glossy eyes then shook his head slightly noticing I was still shivering. He pulled on the shirt over my head. He was about to take a step back when I wrapped my arms around him into a hug. "thank you" I whispered. His hand brushed over my cheek wiping away a tear. He smiled "anytime"
He tucked me into bed then went to go change himself. He came out of the bathroom and was about to leave until I said "Would you please stay with me?" Christian nodded. He got into the bed and pulled me close to him, his arms draped across my waist. The last thing I heard him say before my eyes closed was "sleep well and tomorrow we'll talk"
