Four Leaf Clover (Awsten Knight)

Chapter 8

Thank god we got frozen vegetables. I threw a pack to Otto and Geoff. Otto had a nice black eye, and Geoff's knuckles were cut up. Thank god we had 2 days of traveling. 

I stood in-front of the sad looking trio, wondering where to start. So instead, I snapped. 

"What the hell? Seriously? I've known you not that long and I know that all 3 of you are idiots. A fight? Are you 5? You could've actually been hurt if those guys ganged up on you." 

Silence.

I rolled my eyes at them. I sighed and put my head in my hands. I sighed. I looked up.

"C'mon guys. You're better then this." I said softly. I had a disappointed look on my face. I know they all felt bad. I could see it. 

"C'mon you." I told Geoff as I pulled him off the couch to take him to wrap his knuckles. 

"I'm sorry." He said following me down the hall. I smiled at him, which he knew meant that I accepted his apology. 

"So how do you know so much? Are you like a legend?" He asked. I laughed. I was currently cleaning one of the deeper wounds. (A/N okay slight tw up ahead. You have been warned. tw- trigger warning).

"Not really. I've been in my fair share of fights and such. I also have 2 brothers, so you know." I said, taking out the gauze. My sleeves were down but getting in the way, so I rolled them up, not thinking. I was wrapping his knuckles when he grabbed my arm. I looked at him confused, and then went numb. How. Why am I so stupid? How could I? 

"Mar? What are these?" He asked, concerned. I swallowed.

"I... uh," I stuttered "They're old." I face palmed mentally. I sighed.

"Why?" He asked.

"The reasons are for another time. But I'm fine." I didn't promise him though. 

"Are there more?" I looked away, and shrugged. I continued to wrap his knuckle and sealed off the gauze. 

"Well?" He asked once more.

"Fine, yes. Yes there are more. Would you like to see them all? Because I mean I think you should be informed all about my past and my mental state." I snapped. I was taken back by my own actions. I immediately felt bad.

"Geoff," I started.

"No, I invaded. But I'm here if you need me. I'm here, okay?" I nodded, wiping the tears that were forming. 

He gave me a slight hug and he left the bathroom. I sat on the floor and leaned my head back. I shoved my sleeves back down (a/n ok you can resume now).

"Geoff!" I called down the hall. He turned.

"Please don't tell." I mouthed. Thank god he had good eye sight. He nodded and gave me a slight smile. I took a deep breathe and put my head in my lap. 

I must've fell asleep there because I was awoken by Awsten. A shirtless Awsten if you will.

"Hey, mind if I use the bathroom?" He said with a slight smile. He looked so damn adorable in his glasses. I stood up and walked out. I grabbed my laptop that was left in the same spot, and plugged that in along with my phone.

I put my glasses down and pulled the curtain back. I grabbed my blanket that was super soft and smelled like home. I laid back and just took a breath. I shut my eyes and and started to get comfortable. My phone vibrated. I sighed and sat up. I grabbed it and saw I got a text notification, but was too tired to check. 

Awsten : Goodnight cutie <3

I smiled.

Me: Loser!!

I heard him laugh quietly from the bunk across from me.

Me: Cute laugh ;)

Awsten: Thanks, it's designer

Me: Ha.ha.ha.

Awsten: ;)

I put my phone down and turned away from the curtain and started to drift off into a somewhat peaceful sleep. That was until I was awoken by the lunatics. 

*2:46am*

"Oh my god!" I heard someone scream. I put my head back. 

"Shhh! Stop being an asshole." I heard Otto say. He was above Awsten. Geoff was above me. Geoff's curtain opened. 

"Awsten. It's 2:50. In the frickin morning. Explanation?" Geoff asked, sleepy and annoyed. I opened my curtain and stuck my head out and saw Geoff. 

"Hi Geoff!" I whispered and waved to him. He smiled and waved back.

"Hi Otto!" I repeated the same action and he responded the same. I looked up to see Awsten standing down the hall. 

"You don't get a 'hi'. You woke me up." I told him, my voice clearly still sleepy. I yawned, setting off a chain reaction. 

"Ok well I swear to god there was a fly." Awsten replied. His voice was pretty low right now, and I get it, it was from the fact he was sleeping, but I just started to laugh. Like really hard. 

"What?" He asked, genuinely confused.

"Please stop talking." I said through my fits of laughter. The other two were laughing with me.

"Ok, goodnight losers." I said, closing my curtain.

"Hey that was my thing!" Awsten said from right outside my bunk.

"Too bad!" Otto replied. I stuck my arm out, pointing at Otto, signaling I agreed with him. I received some light laughter.
