Tanners POV

I met this guy at a cafe and I could tell he was certainly an interesting person. He watched the world go by just like I did. When I walked up to his table I felt a very strong vibe coming from him of love and acceptance.

I ended up crying on the poor man though. But when I cried he made me feel comfort I haven't felt since I was a child. He made me feel so safe. He was a complete stranger and I felt so safe while in his arms.

I knew that this man was amazing but I was so embarrassed and I still felt like he would hate me for crying on him and think me as weird and stupid, so I quickly tried to leave. He followed me and asked for my number and I was so happy. I felt like hugging him before we left but I held back.

I told Matt, Paul and Connor all about this guy. He seemed so amazing. They told me I should see if he wanted to hang out for a bit and get to know each other. So I texted him and asked if he wanted to come over.

We pretty much went on a date. Well it might have been a date. I'm not entirely sure...

And now we are here. Laying under the Willow tree staring at the stars and him laying his head on my chest. I feel so happy. I even got confidence to kiss his forehead. He blushed like earlier when he saw me shirtless. He's so adorable.

Woods lifted his head up carefully and looked at me. I smiled slightly and he smiled back. Every second I admired every bit of his face. His beautiful eyes were filled with so much emotion and compassion. I could so easily get lost in them.

He slowly got up and grabbed my hand to pull me up. We grabbed what we needed and headed back to the house. By this time it was 2am. Time flies by when you're having fun.

Woods fell onto the sofa an I cleared everything away and put everything where it belonged. When I went to check on Woods he was fast asleep. I carefully picked him up and held him in my arms as I carried him up the stairs into where he was staying.

I placed him down on the bed and tucked him in before placing another kiss on his forehead. "Goodnight Woods" I whispered as I turned off the lights to his room.

I quietly headed towards my room and got undressed and jumped into bed. After a few hours I finally fell asleep.

When I woke up I went to check if Woods was up yet. He wasn't. I jumped into the shower and got dressed before heading downstairs and making some breakfast for the two of us.

I took up a tray of food to the room where Woods was. I looked over at him as he slept peacefully and I admired everything about him.

As I looked at him, I noticed his sleeves were slightly pulled up and some cuts lining his arms. They seemed pretty old because they weren't raised and were nearly healed up.

Was he?... No.... He can't... I let out a small shakey breathe but it seemed enough to wake Woods up. "Hey" His voice sounded deep and husky. He looked around in a panic and quickly pulled down his sleeves before placing his arms under the covers.

"I brought you breakfast" I smiled pretending that I didn't notice what I just saw. He smiled slightly and sat up. "Sorry it isn't great. I'm not good at cooking." I laughed.
"You did this for me?" he asked sounding a bit concerned.
"Yeah. Of course I did. You need food." I joked.

He laughed nervously and then just sat staring at the food. "If you don't want it you don't have to-"
"NO it's great I'm so grateful. I don't mean to be like this. I'm just..." he paused and went back to staring at the food. I noticed a small tear raise in his eye and flow down his cheek. I hugged him and he sobbed into my shoulder.
