Beautifully broken (Salxlarry)

Drain you

Three weeks after Sal and Ash started dating...

"Ash... can we talk? I just.. know I can trust you with this.."

"Of course, Sal you can always talk with me"

"Okay... before I say this, I just wanna say I'm sorry... I cut myself again.."

"Sal, don't do that stuff anymore okay? I don't want you getting hurt! I care about you!"

"I know.. I'm sorry Ash, I'm sorry, I just didn't want to keep things from you.. I just wanted to be honest.."

"It's fine okay? Just don't do it again.."

I looked down at my feet as I swung back in forth in the swing softy..

The next day...

"Hey, freak!"

"Go away, Travis..."

"Hm what? You gonna cut yourself again?"

My heart dropped. How'd he know?

I ran to the bathroom and started crying, I coincidentally noticed a thin tall boy with dark brown hair.. Larry.

"Sal..? What's wrong dude? Are you crying?"

I put my hands in my face and start sobbing, I run to Larry and he wraps his arms around me as I cry in his chest.

"Sal what happened?"

"T-Travis h-he.."

"What'd he do?"

"A-ash told him... I t-think"

It was hard to say everything in between choking sobs.

"Sal, look calm down man"

he grabs a paper towel, takes me into a stall and takes off my mask, he wiped away my tears and he combs through my hair.

He hugs me tighter and he softly pats my back.

"Deep breaths... deep breaths"

He says in a soft, slightly raspy whisper.

I take a deep breath and close my eyes for a couple seconds.

"Travis said "what are you going to do, cut yourself?" I told Ash about it yesterday.. I think she told him.. I don't know...."

I burst out in hysterics agian and I hold him tighter.

"I'm sorry, Sal.. I'm so sorry.. you don't deserve that, any of that.. you deserve so much better..."

He starts softly crying, I let go of him and look him in the eyes, I wipe his tears with my hand and smiled a soft smile..

"Sal.. I'm sorry I haven't been talking to you.. I was just so jealous because of you and Ash.. I know it's wrong but it's true..."

"Aw Larry..."

The bell rang, confirming that 2nd hour was over.

"Well, we better get going, huh Sal?"

"Yeah.."

He grabs my prosthetic and straps it on for me.

"Thanks, Larry.."

We walk out holding hands and Travis happened to be there.

"Hey!"

"What do you want, Johnson?"

Travis sneered back.

"Who told you?"

"Who told me what?"

"You know damn well what I'm talking about!"

I grab Larry's shoulder, "Larry, it's not worth it.." I whispered

"What? Your little boyfriends cuts?"

"Yeah, who the fuck told you, you prick?!"

"That bitch, Ash. Why?"

"Fuck off"

Larry walked off with me and dragged me along with him, I hurried up next to him as we walked to our class.

Class wasn't very fun, after this dumb class we had lunch. Shit is gonna go down..

The bell rang for lunch and me and Larry walked to lunch together, everyone else was in line to get lunch but we just sat down on one of the empty tables.

"Larry.. are you okay?"

"I've been better.."

"Hey guys! What's up?"
Ash walked up to us cheerfully and sat down next to us

"What's up is that someone is being a fucking bitch and is betraying her boyfriend!"

"Huh?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Ash we both know you told Travis about Sals problem!"

"I-I was just tying it help.."

"Oh yeah! Like telling your boyfriends bully about his personal problems he trusted you with!!"

"I didn't know! I'm sorry"

"Don't give me that bullshit okay?! Sal is pissed off with you, some girlfriend you are!"

"Yeah Ash, I have to admit your a bitch"

"What? Sal?! What's gotten into you?! That's nothing to say to your girlfriend!"

"Well, this is no way to treat your boyfriend, you know what? I'm done with you! I'm breaking up with you"

"W-what?! You can't do that!!"

"Well you just heard me do it, so fuck off"

I get up, grab Larry's hand and storm off.
