Oracle Of The Moon

Remember me- Lucy's POV

Lucy's POV-

It hurt. Severely. My heart burned deep in my chest. I wished that I could cut it out. It was excruciating.

"Luce..." I heard from the door.

I whimpered at his voice and sunk even further into the couch that I was laying on.

"Oh, my Luce," he whimpered as he came closer.

The closer he got, the more it burned. I couldn't help but let out sobs at the pain. It hurt too bad.

"Lucy," he sobbed as he looked at me writhing in pain.

It hurt. The pain was harsh. Everything that I had gone through never could have prepared me for this type of pain. It was eating me from the inside out.

"Touch her," I heard Grandmama say from somewhere else. "Touch her, Kale."

The only thing that I could do was cry. His closeness was already hurting me so much. I couldn't even imagine what his actual touch would do to me.

I didn't understand what was happening...

"C-Can I?" The question was hesitant and small from his lips.

I unconsciously nodded.

As soon as his hand touched my cheek, the burning lessened. I sighed in relief and leaned further into him and his touch. I needed him to take the pain away.

The burn was still there, but it was less. The burn was still there, but his fingers dulled it. It was all still there, but Kale helped.

He lifted my back from the couch and positioned me into his lap. He cradled me with care and kissed the crown of my head.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," I heard him whisper.

I didn't understand... What had he done? I was very confused.

"Why don't you take her out to the garden? The flowers seem to really like her and vice versa; nature will help her heal the rest of the way," Grandmama suggested.

Kale wasted no time and carried me out to the garden. He laid us both down onto the soft grass while cradling me to him.

I felt the grass cradling me instantly. It cuddled me in a loving embrace that made me feel safe. I could feel the pain in my chest soften even further.

"I'm so sorry, love. I'm sorry."

I nodded and rolled over into him. I had no idea what he was sorry about, but I forgave him no matter what happened. I'd forgive him over and over again. My love was unconditional, but that didn't mean that I'd let him hurt me constantly. I couldn't live in this pain forever. He had to know that.

Soon enough, Grandmama came out with some tea and someone walking behind her... Nat.

"Hi, lovies, we have a visitor," Grandmama said as she sat down next to me and handed a calming tea.

"Hey Nat..." I greeted her as best as I could.

"What's wrong?" She asked, sensing the obvious tension.

Kale looked down in shame and we all looked at him for answers. I had no idea what had happened, and it was obvious that he knew. He stayed silent for a long while before Grandmama prompted him to speak.

"I messed up..." he whispered. "Raven she- she was... waiting for me in my office when I got back from my run."

"Oh Kale... you didn't," Nat said with a gasp.

"No! No! It didn't go that far but I..." He trailed off, not wanting to finish.

"I'm so confused. What exactly didn't you do?" I asked.
