Luke's POV

I sit downstairs waiting for the Damn pizza to arrive. MY thumb circles around my other thumb as I stare and concentrate on the wooden panel flooring. I walk upstairs hoping to find Auri,  she said she was getting ready, but it has been quite a while

I jog up the stairs and hear walk into my room. I look over and see Audi trying to get up.  She falls back to the ground and mumbles something.g unclear.  "No, no. No I'm not. Don't. Don't hurt me" She used one hand to hold her head and the other to help herself up.

I run over to her. "Auri!?" My words seem unclear to her. She just keeps staring into nothingness. She seems to notice in there and stands up wiping tears from her face. "Luke?" I hug her immediately ,still in shock. Suddenly I feel a cold substance on my neck where her arms hung. All the air left my lungs and it felt like my ribcage was pulling in. I stood absolutely still. She finally pulled away from the hug when she noticed my arms weren't around her waist anymore. "Roll up your sleeves" I said staring at her face. A tear rolled down her cheek.  "I'm fine" She tried walking away but I grabbed her shoulder and spun her in my direction.

"Pull up your sleeves" I didn't notice I was crying until I felt a cold tear on my collarbone.

"No" She said holding the edges of her sweater sleeves tight.

I walked up to her reaching out ny hand to pull up her sleeve. She just pulled her arm back and stepped away.

"Please" I said my voice cracking. I sounded like I would explode.

Auri's POV

-

I pulled back sucking in what seemed like all the air around me.

Luke walked up slowly expecting me to jump back. I showed him the opposite arm I use to cut. He shows an expression of relief and sighs. I keep my other arm tight to my chest while Luke holds me close to him.  I lay my head on his shoulder and he sways back and forth making me drift to sleep.

I wake up laying in Luke's bed sprawled out with my legs in a position I didn't know I could do. I look over at the time, 2:00 pm, I look to my other side.  Its Luke , sitting on the edge of the queen sized bed. His hands covering his face. His back shakes every time he takes in a breath.

He's crying
