Love Cuts

Chapter 2: Drip, By Drip

I couldn’t catch my breath fast enough as we were violently pushed against the steel barrier that separated me and Andy. The crazed wave of fangirls that shoved us and wacked us harshly with their grasping hands that aimed to touch Andy over and over. Andy leant forward into the crowd, the girls automatically pushing harder and i was about to reach the end of my tether. Bay glanced over at me through the hands and saw my desperation to get out of the situation.

-Bay-

I couldn’t watch her struggle any more. These girls were pushing her so furiously! I could see the gate sway as their mass caused it to bend and shake. She just needed to get away from the mob and get some fresh air. I had to do something.

Carefully glancing around i saw a security and tried to beckon him over. He couldn’t hear my pleas over the screaming and awesome rift Jake was playing. I quickly placed myself between the fangirls and her. I felt Andy’s hawk eyes burn into the back of my skull and a 5 finger warmth on my shoulder. I peered over my shoulder and saw his Inked up hand on my shoulder, The pale triangles of skin peeking through the paint. I stared up at him and smiled weakly. He rotated his palm over and i took it gladly. Holding her body closely to mine, Andy helped pull us both up and over the fence. We walked off down stage and behind the backstage door.

The music was quickly drafted away from us, with the close of the crystal white doors that held us from the panic and screams.

She hadn’t yet told me her name, i was so intrigued to know her. It felt like we were already best friends, and I wanted her to be just that! i wanted to tell her everything. She wasn’t alone. I too  had a secret. I just hoped she would let me in and tell her. “Please don’t judge me” I whispered in her ear as i edged closer to her, still holding her waist tight as tight as i did with Andy’s help.

I saw the confusion in her eyes, she glanced up at me with a gentle frown and an exaggerated smile. Her lips parted slowly and a laugh escaped, exploding through the walls. I grinned.

“What’s so funny?” I questioned punching her in the arm gently.

“You!” she shouted, pulling me close for a hug.

“no stop! Listen” I shouted, knocking her off me.

“Oh” She gasped

“im sorry, i didn’t mean to shout at you” i frowned trying to apologise without saying what i needed to say.

“Envy” She spoke with a soft tone that tickled my spine

“Im sorry what?” I asked trying to break her hard shell with my eyes.

“I’m Envy, im sorry i didn’t tell you my name Bay” She whispered a single tear rolling down her scarlet cheeks.

“Don’t be sorry” i smiled

“What did you want to tell me?”

“uhmm, it doesn’t matter” i laughed and hugged her softly planting a hard kiss on her forehead, She hissed in pain and clutched her waist.

“oh my god are you ok let me see?” i shouted pulling up the rim of her top.

-Envy-

She started to pull up the rim of my top, a flush of fear filled my cheeks. My palms automatically took a hold of hers and pulled her away from me. I let out a scream and rushed to the corner as far away from her as i could. I looked her in the eyes. I had never seen such fear and guilt in anyone before as i did now.

“Envy? I’m sorry i just want to see how bad you’ve been hurt. Why won’t you let me see?” She whispered starting to cry. I felt horrible, why  did i have to be so harsh to her.

I started to raise my top gently so she could see my stomach bit by bit, her face hesitantly changed. I knew then to put my top straight back down.

“What” She gasped “the hell” She edged slowly back from me “Is That!” Her back hit the wall opposite me, we were now on separate sides of the room, Her hands splayed out across the wall.

I glanced down at my top, it was covered in thick lumps of blood and puss, The gooey yellow substance creeping down my leg, its trickles tickled and burned as they slowly travelled down my leg and splatted on the floor. Drip. By. Drip. I wailed in fear.

“What’s happening to me” I screamed. All light vanished from my eyes, and a black cloak of dizziness fluttered through my body. I hit the ground hard.
