TW: SAD AND DEPRESSING CONTENT.

Vikk's POV

"Lachlan, please calm down" I mumble, tears pricking my eyes. Lachlan is pacing back and forth in front of me, already crying.

"I thought you got past this, Vikk. You were doing so good." He mumbled, running his fingers through his hair in distress. "I'm sorry" I frowned, looking down.

He stops walking to look at me, taking my hand in his. "Vikky. Don't be sorry okay?" He frowns sadly.

A tear rolls softly down my cheek, eyes turning puffy. "I didn't mean it" I said, once again in a mumble.

Lachlan rolls up my sleeve tenderly, looking at the rigid red lines that were painted on my skin.

I could just tell his heart was breaking by the look in his eyes and the way he carried himself. He ghosted his fingers over my wrist, tears swelling up in his eyes.

"Why?" He whispered. I shrugged, words not being able to describe what i was feeling. He pulled away from me, turning his back.

"You gotta come to me Vikk." He said. "I just couldn't" i whispered. There was a long silence between us.

Something that was quiet yet so loud with thoughts of what to say.

"Show me your scars." Lachlan whispered, looking me dead in the eyes.

"But....Why?" I asked. "Because" He sighed.

It went back to silence, not a word being said. I stood there, trying to sort out my raging thoughts.

"I want to see.... I want to see how many times you needed me but.." he trailed off. I looked down, trying to hold in my tears.

"I wasn't there for you"

Tears flowed down his cheeks leaving wet trails behind. My heart broke. Fell out of my chest and shattered into a billion pieces.

"Lachlan..." I murmured. "No. Stop. I wasn't there. I could of prevented this." He said, blaming himself.

"It's not that easy, Lach.." I started. "You can't just prevent something that I had planned. That i wanted to do. A simple word couldn't stop me." I said, straight faced.

He was at a lost for words. I knew it too. His mouth stayed open slightly, eyes going wide.

"Lach, I love you. So much. But, it doesn't work that way."

"Then how does it work, Vikk?" He blurted out. I shrugged at him.

"You can't change my mind. All i wish is that you'll be there to help me afterwards." I tell him.

"I'll always be here Vikk. But if I can distract you from thinking about it, please come to me okay? I love you." He says, pulling me into a hug.

"I love you too Lach. I love you too.." I hug him back.
