He got up and turned the water on, washing his cuts. I thought I was the only one  who self-harmed. I tried to looked at his face, but he turned the lights off.

“What?” He growled, while wrapping toilet paper over his arm. I rolled my sweater sleeve up, and took a held my breathe. I shouldn’t have. You're showing weakness.

He looked at me with an unreadable emotion, and approached me, his fingers grazing each cut. He seemed so out of it, his eyebrows pressed together. I rolled my sleeve down, looking up at him. I didn’t realize we were so close to each other.

“I heard you singing…” He trailed off, “before. I liked it.” I hated it. I didn’t want anyone to listen, I was awful. Its an awful song. I wanted to tell him it wasn't me, but I didn't know how to talk to him. I just showed Luke -a stranger- my greatest secret. And I have many secrets.

“Can you sing for me?” He sounded desperate. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. This was Luke, the grump, but also the one who shared his ice cream with me. I licked my lips and opened my mouth again, but not sing.

“I don’t want to. Its a stupid song,” I confessed, somewhat truthfully. I didn’t want to sing it again because felt like a lie;  it was meaningless to me. Though, I really just didn’t want to sing it because of Luke.

“Please?” He said, looking straight into my ugly eyes. I felt extremely self aware, wishing he would just go away. But I came here, and he was so beautiful. His blue eyes glimmered in the dark and his blonde hair swayed all around, like he already slept on it.

“You had my heart, and we'll never be worlds apart

Maybe in magazines, but you'll still be my star

Baby 'cause in the dark, you can't see shiny cars

And that's when you need me there

With you, I'll always share

 

Because when the sun shines, we'll shine together

Told you I'll be here forever

Said I'll always be your friend

Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end

Now that it's raining more than ever

Know that we'll still have each other

You can stand under my umbrella

You can stand under my umbrella

Ella ella, hey

Under my umbrella, hey

 

These fancy things will never come in between

You're part of my entity, here for infinity

When the war has took its part

When the world has dealt its cards

If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart

 

Because when the sun shines, we'll shine together

Told you I'll be here forever

Said I'll always be your friend

Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end

Now that it's raining more than ever

Know that we'll still have each other

Ella ella, hey

Under my umbrella, hey

 

It's raining, raining

Ooh baby, it's raining, raining

Baby, come in to me

Come in to me

It's raining, raining

Ooh baby, it's raining, raining

You can always come here to me

Come in to me

It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain

Come in to me, come in to me

It's pouring rain, it's pouring rain

Come in to me, come in to me”

 

I looked into his eyes the entire time time I sang, and we never lost eye contact. I realized that, we had something in common, our default was ourselves.

“I’ll be your umbrella,” I choked, breaking the silence. He grabbed my cheek with his injured arm, and we both looked down. His other hand was riding my arm sleeve up, showing my scars. He leaned in close, close enough where I felt his his breath on mine.

He kissed me, with so much force. It was my first kiss, but it felt like I already knew what to do. I grabbed his neck, pulling him in closer. Hiss lips were warm and chapped, and I felt like I was being pulled into a vortex called Luke. I'd never felt so connected to someone in all my years, and it was heaven on Earth. It was breathe-taking after all those years in hell, but I knew he's been to hell too. Despite all the sparks and tingles his touch ignited, I could feel it.  He stopped, but our lips were still touching.

“I’ll be your umbrella,” He whispered.

We both learned things about ourselves, Luke. We learned that we were not alone.  I’ll always be your umbrella. You will never be alone. Promise me you'll be strong for me baby, don't hurt yourself again. Remember our promise?
