Recap
—
Vulture opened her arms for Lui and he slowly lifted his head and looked around. Terroriser shoulder bumped me and I shrugged and gave him a funny look. "What's wrong with him?" He whispered. I turned back at Lui and he was no longer standing at the door. Terroriser hit me. He was holdings Vulture's face.. but her and his lips were touching.

Vulture

I slowly leaned back after that kiss. Lui pulled away and stared down at the bed and looked around probably trying to calculate our actions. I slowly looked up seeing as Mae stared at us, definitely with betrayal, hurt, and pain in her eyes and thoughts. I turned to Vanoss and Terroriser who were grinning. I had to quickly calculate whatever happened real fast because I just felt confused right now. Delirious entered the room giggling and stopped immediately when he seen the looks on everyone's faces. Mae slowly and quietly walked out of the room with a hand on her heart. I immediately felt like the worst person in the world. I just hurt my care taker, she was always there for me and since she is the only girl here, she kind of had to do personal things for me. That's brutally winging it and props to her but right now I hurt the fuck out of her. "Wait Mae" I shouted out for her.

I quickly flipped the blankets off of me and held my side best as I could and rushed after her. Lui hurried to stop me and pushed me back on the bed. "It's fine.. just leave her be. She needs space but you really need to stay in bed. You just got hurt today" he said and I pushed past him anyways. I limped towards her who was just now going into a room two rooms down the hallway. I followed her and opened the door and saw her just emotionlessly sitting on her bed with the lamp turned on beside her. The sight broke my heart.

"I didn't know he was going to do that.. and I don't want to say I was a victim of anything or play stupid because you saw me kiss back. I am not asking for you to accept my forgiveness or apology but I really am sorry. I'll give us space so whatever happened can cool off and maybe Lui can break feelings and stay with you because you are a good person. You're my only /girl/friend and I never wanted this to happen" I paused and took an unsteady inhale and breathed out. "I'm sorry" I said and backed up towards the darkness in the room and away from Mae. "It's fine. Do whatever. I always knew he and you had this thing for each other. I accept and respect it but he still could have told me instead of technically cheating. I don't like being surprised like that. But I do really love and admire you. I am sure I can find the right guy, not that I am saying Lui is the wrong person. He's right for you Vulture. I am fine with it" Mae weakly smiled.

I walked back towards her and attempted to give her a hug. She accepted and gave me a hug back. "Wait you're bleeding.. and why are you out of bed?" She whispered harshly obviously worried. "I needed to speak with you so I came" I chuckled and she got up and grabbed me by the shoulder and walked me out of the room and back in the old room I was in. "I think some stitches tore as she was getting up.. Lui restitch her" Mae spoke fast and helped me sit down. "Mae I'm okay.. it's okay" I said with my hand on her arm. She was moving quickly and too fast. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. I put my arm around her head and slowly pushed her ear to my mouth, "Go have some time alone.. I'll be with you later. So we can talk about other things. For now just go let it out. You need it. Mae I am really sorry.." I whispered and she nodded and exited the room with Delirious by her side. I knew we couldn't dare hate each other because this place was like a home and we were all family. Mae knew this was going to happen but she was prepared. I would put a stop here but why stop when I've already caused so much? I've been waiting for this day! I just need to talk to Kellin..

I laid back while Lui restitched two stitches. Vanoss and Terroriser were here to hold my hand through the pain. I wasn't allowed anymore medication in like about two more hours because I could have an overdose. I was given a lot of medication while I was on the table earlier when I was shot. "So.. are you two a thing now?" Terroriser asked. I didn't know how to reply, the thought of Mae's broken face came in my mind. I always loved Lui more than a friend or a brother, and I can't help but still have the balls to do this. Not only am I going to hurt Mae but Kellin. "I don't-.. i don't know.." I said staring at my thighs. "I need to talk to Kellin" I mumbled covering my face half way. Lui stopped moving for a bit and then continued. "You never know if Kellin is the perfect match for Mae. They are both almost normal people and they are both good at doing their jobs. Medics.. something in common and they are really kind people. If you two have each other, it's only fair to offer them to each other" Vanoss offered the idea and waited for a response from us. I had to think this through.. it was a brilliant idea but it's so weird.

I shrugged nodding with Lui. "I kind of like this idea.. it's fair and all." Lui giggled with Vanoss. "I do too" I finally spoke up after Lui wrapped a fresh new bandage over my waist. I smiled as a thank you and he slowly lifted my shirt back down. "Can somebody go and get Kellin since I am not able to walk. Goddamn I feel so lazy" I complained making someone chuckle. I leaned back and waited until he came in the room. Of course I had to kick everyone out besides Lui. "Before you leave Vanoss, can you get Delirious to tell Mae to come in here?" I asked filled with a bit of hope. "Yeah" he said grabbing ahold of his earpiece and began talking to Delirious in just seconds.

After the room got emptier and then just me and Lui.. we just awkwardly stood there in silence. "You know..." I trailed on before the door opened. Kellin and Mae were confused to see it was only us and not a meeting. "Hey thanks for coming guys! I want to be honest with the both of you real quick.." I said getting a bit more serious. "Kellin, I really did love the times we had. But admit it, we act more like a brother and sister. I don't want you to leave or go away or hate me for the rest of our lives so just hear me out. Same with you Mae. Okay first of all, Kellin I kissed Lui. It was unexpected but please no fighting. Listen!" I said before Kellin started to glare at Lui. "Some of us here just don't match with our lovers. When I first got here which was a long time ago, me and Lui have always had this thing. And I knew you had something for Lui too Mae. Okay this is just point-" I was cut off by Lui. "—No it's not. What we are saying is that we can't be with neither of you. But we want to offer something special to you guys.. After this, we probably won't bother talking to each other but I was wondering if you could try something out for us for one last time. Get to know each other because you guys have a lot in common that you don't know about. We just am trying to help the both of you find happiness again before it completely falls apart." I took a deep breath after he said that. I was scared of the bad reactions.

Kellin and Mae stood there thinking about it and Mae kind of shrugged. "This was just awkward I'll just give you both time alone" I finally said and shook my head. "You guys can go back to what you were doing.. I apologize for this" Lui busted out in laughs after I said that. "I just don't get-" Kellin began but Mae pulled him out the door. I knew he was hurt but..

I stood there just so unbelieved in my actions. "We need to keep it cool for a bit" I mumbled and suggested and I could see Lui nod on the side of my eye. "I agree.. now that they know. Or on our own time, we could do whatever without being watched by them" he added. I nodded agreeing to him also.

"I am going to sleep right now. Lui, just watch over them okay? Please?" I asked getting comfortable. He grabbed my hand and nodded. I smiled at the sight of what's now mine and fluttered my eyes shut. I hope things get better for us all..
