WARNING: SELF HARM IS MENTIONED AND PORTRAYED IN THIS CHAPTER, '⚠️⚠️' signifies the start off it and '✌🏻✌🏻' signifies the end off it

The couple had been driving for about 7 hours and found themselves in the state of Mississippi. Chase kept his eyes on the road even when he wanted to sleep. The further and further away from Georgia, the better. He let off a loud yawn and Noen looked at him and asked 'Wanna stop at a Motel?' Chase nodded and drove to the nearest motel.

'Wait here, I'll go and get us a room' Chase said to Noen, he replied with a nod. Chase walked up to the counter. 'Hello, can I get a room for 2 please?' He questioned. 'Sure, 1 bed or 2?' She replied. '1 please?' Chase kindly requested. 'Ooo Who's the lucky lady?' The woman assumed. 'HE'S name is Noen' Chase sassily publicised. Her eyes widened and she scoffed. She threw the keys at him and he walked back to his car. 'Lets go' chase told Noen, not mentioning the ignorant counter worker. They got into the room and there was a bed, a tv on a stand, and a bathroom. They both threw themselves on the bed and let out a deep sigh. They looked up to the ceiling just thinking about how crazy their lives changed in the last 24 hours, 1 minute they were enjoying each other's company in the safety of their own bed, the next, they were running away from the cops. They didn't want  run away, they wanted to finish school, get good jobs and live happily ever after in Noen's home, but they just couldn't, all because of Chase's drunk, abusive mess of a father. But there were some positives to it, they still had each other, they could protect and love each other till death parted them.

'I'm going to get in the shower' Noen stated. Chase looked at the digital clock next to the bed and saw that it read '10:45 pm' 'it's late, and I don't want to wake up early with little sleep, can we get in the shower together?' Chase insisted. Noen hesitantly nodded and grabbed chases hand and lead him into the bathroom. For a motel, the shower was pretty spacious they both started to get undressed. They had become so used to seeing each other naked that it never bothered them. Well, it didn't bother chase, but Noen, was scared for what chase might see.

** ⚠️⚠️ **

While Chase was driving to his grandmas the other day, Noen was at home in the bathroom crying, blaming himself for everything that had happened, his parents death because he made them go out that night and chases grandma being held hostage because chase could've been there to stop it but he was at Noen's protecting his needy ass. He told himself the world would be better without him in it, so he opened the medicine cabinet and grabbed the first razor blade he saw and pressed it against the skin of his skinny inner thigh, and cut, again and again, each cute further and further down his thigh. 16 cuts on each side thigh, all deep and bloody, he grabbed a wash cloth and cleaned them up so there was no infection. He then moved on to his stomach, slashing all around his lower chest. Again cleaning them up, and putting the blade back.

Noen didn't want to do this to chase so he pushed him out of the bathroom and locked the door. Chase confusingly looked at the door and screamed 'Noen! What the fuck!'
'Sorry, but I can't let you see me like this Chase?' Noen trembled on his own tears. 'Like what Noen?' Chase curiously asked. Noen didn't respond and Chase became increasingly alarmed and started bashing the door. 'Noen If you don't let me in I'm going to break this door down!' Chase screamed. Still no response. Before chase lifted his foot up he noticed a key on the side of the bed. He rushed towards it and put it in the bathroom keyhole, it clicked open and he flung the door forwards. He saw Noen lifting up his shirt and then throwing it back down when Chase came in, he had tears steaming down his face and his eyes puffed out. 'What were you looking at?' Chase asked.
'Nothing' Noen replied with a sharp tone. 'Don't lie to me baby' Chase demanded. He walked over to Noen and slowly started to lift his shirt, Noen wanted to stop him but couldn't, his arms were too weak to fight back. Chase saw every single cut, and his jaw dropped, he looked back up to Noen's face and stuttered 'Wh- Why?'
'Chase, I'm sorry, for everything, for making you move in with me, for pulling you into the field of danger and sadness that surrounds me, your life would be so much better without me in it' Chase felt as if his heart had just been shot, he never wanted Noen to feel this way, he loved Noen. 'Noen.. you're so wrong, my life has become so much better with you in it, you helped me realise that I should be happy with who I am, no matter what happened in my past. I chose to move in with you Noen, I want to spend my life with you, and I don't want you to end yours anytime soon, I want to grow old with you, maybe adopt kids, and explore the world with you, I love you.'
'I love you too Chase' Noen pulled chase up and hugged him, he tightened the hug because he didn't want to let go of this feeling, the forcefield of protection that chase cats upon him, just with a look. His love for chase grows stronger and stronger every passing minute they are together.
'Is there anymore?' Chase questioned Noen. 'Yes. On my thighs' Noen responded. 'Do you mind if I look baby?'
'Go for it.' Chase dropped to his knees and pulled Noen's trousers down. He examined all of the 32 cuts to see if there was any sign of infection. After realising there wasn't any he pulled himself back up to Noen and whispered in his ear 'promise me you'll never do this again' Chase begged as he hugged his lover. 'I promise you babe' Noen sniffled in Chase's arms. They both stood there crying on each other, and realising the importance they have on one another, they were each other's lover and best friend. Chase pulled out of the hug. 'Want to get in the shower then' he requested. Noen nodded and they stood in the shower together.

**✌🏻✌🏻**

They dried off and got changed into some night clothes. It was a cold night so they both got under the covers. Chase wrapped his arm around Noen to provide more warmth, Noen giggled at the gesture and pressed himself up to chase as close as he could. Chase admired the beauty of the other, he was confused 'how someone so perfect could think so horribly about themselves?' Chase thought to himself. He didn't want to say it out loud just in case Noen got worried that Chase was thinking about him. Noen arched his head and moved his body so he was looking at Chase, gazing into his ocean blue eyes. After a while Noen dug his head into Chases chest, exactly where his heart is, he listened to the beat of chase's heart; regular, Noen didn't know of that word anymore, nothing to do with him was regular anymore, and Noen always said to himself that regular was overrated anyways.

For once chase had fell asleep first, he let out little snores that Noen adored. Noen didn't move because Chase was sub consciously playing with Noen's platinum blonde locks. Peace and tranquility radiated through the room as the couple slowly drifted to sleep.
