A Boy Named Arthur

Pretty Please

5:31 pm
Felix POV💎

"Luke could you do me a favor."💎

Luke looked at me with the same cold dead face as usual and nodded.

"I-"💎

I couldn't finish my words. I couldn't look Arthur in the eyes after this, but I didn't want to get myself in between the weird relationship that Luke and Henry have. Then again I would feel terrible if I ended up dumping all the work onto Arthur.

"Switch partners with me. I will work with Henry and you can work with Arthur."💎

"Okay."🦋

"Wait don't you think you are forgetting about someone!"🌙✨

I divert my eyes to Arthur's. He looks angry but I can't help from thinking he is adorable.

" You're going home now. Mother and Father already know the situation but that doesn't mean you can stay out past curfew."🦋

"And you get to stay!"🌙✨

"Yes now get up and I will meet you in the car."🦋

I didn't say anything since it seemed like a family matter. After Luke drops off Arthur he will go and pick up Henry. Which leaves me with Grace...

"I'm sorry, even right now I can't fully grasp what's happening..."💎

The sleepyhead on the couch shifts so that it faces the ceiling. I don't know if I should wake her up. I mean after what just happened. After I almost died and attempted suicide. Luke looks at me with a haze of pity...

"I didn't come here to comfort you but I still came to see if you were alive. That should be enough to convince you..."🦋

And with that, he left...he's not wrong. I expected absolutely nothing from him and he worried about me. Weird?

Why am I like this? Always messing things up...

"Shut up."❤️

"Huh?"💎

"Its because you keep all your emotions to yourself that you keep messing up."❤️

Did I say that out loud?

"What am I even here for if you don't console in me!"❤️

"Grace..."💎

"Did you even think about me!? Do you even love me? Isn't that enough for you? I just want you to talk to me."❤️

Her face was covered in tears. She is only a kid after all. I was all she had but how could I tell her that I loved her. How could I explain that I hate myself more than I love anyone? How would she understand me when I can't understand myself?

"You are enough but...I can't give myself enough."💎

A silence fell over the room. Well if you called sniffles and hiccups silence. Both of us were tearing up but there was too much tension for both of us to accept it.

'The world is full of pushes and pulls. Highs and lows but we will be there for each other. '

"I love you."💎

"I know Princess."❤️

Grace makes her way to my bed and plops onto my chest. Her hands dig into my back as she pulls me in for a hug. There was no more holding back. We had a lot to talk about when we got back to the Millers' house but this was enough.

"Please don't ever do it again."❤️

Eventually, our tears dried up and we talked to the doctors. They told us that the Millers were going to pick us up tomorrow but Grace can stay overnight. She agreed to stay which is for the best. Now I just have to wait for Henry and the shitload of nagging that follows him. In the meanwhile, I decided to talk to Grace about...things.

Luke POV🦋

"I got this. Everything's fine and I know exactly what I'm doing."🦋

I give myself a pep talk and drive up to an empty parking lot. Henry texted me an address that I can only assume is at least two blocks away from where he actually is. It's clear to me that he doesn't want anyone to know what he is doing. All I can do is ponder as I sit back in my seat.

"Don't doze off, I didn't take that long."🚬

I open my eyes and look to my left. An all too familiar face greets me.

"Get in."🦋

He mumbles something under his breath then heads his way to the passenger seat. I can't take my eyes off him which is going to be a problem once I start driving. His hair is as curly as ever and his tight ripped jeans aren't good for my health.

"My eyes are up here whore."🚬

I lean my head against the steering wheel with my face to him. He looks so tired...

"Where were you?"🦋

He looks away signaling that he wasn't going to talk.

"Why are you so stubborn?"🦋

"Because you are too blunt."🚬

I smirk and decided that we should get on our way. I thought that we would sit in awkward silence because there was really nothing to say. Nothing that hadn't already been said. Nothing that needed to be revisited.

"How come Arthur didn't show up last year?"🚬

"He needed more time to get adjusted and the timing didn't work out."🦋

"Yet you fit in perfectly fine."🚬

I drove up to the red light and stared at him. He had gotten a new pricing on his ear. The type that draped down and connected to another hole. His lips were red and eyes deep in color.

"How do you get more and more beautiful every time I see you?"🦋

His cheeks turned pink and he glared at me. I turned my attention back to the road.

"You shouldn't ask stupid questions."🚬

I smiled to myself. Once we got into the hospital there would be no more room for small talk like this so I should enjoy it while it lasts.

"I will stop asking stupid questions when you tell me what you were doing earlier."🦋

"Shut it or I will cram my fist into your face."🚬

"Won't you tell me, pretty please?"🦋

I pouted my lips and tilted my head. I couldn't tell if he was burning red from embarrassment or anger. I couldn't help from laughing at the sight. Soon enough Henry cracked a smile with me and we arrived at the hospital shortly after.

"Okay here we are."🦋

"Great..."🚬
