Galaxies

"What's going on with you?" I asked, scooting closer to James. He hung his head and looked away but I softly grabbed at his chin and dabbed at the cut on his bottom lip. "You can tell me James, I won't pity you." I whispered, wiping the small about of dried blood that dribbled down his chin from his lip. "I don't know..." he said softly when I let go of his chin, wiping slowly at the cut on his cheek careful of the bruise around it. "I don't know what's wrong with me, why I'm such a problem" he trailed off and I smacked his arm causing him to flinch and cringe at the bruise I had accidentally hit. "There's nothing wrong with you James, I'm asking what your problem is and how I can help to fix it not why you think you're a problem because I know you're not a problem." I said and resumed cleaning the cut, but a tear rolled down the cut and I looked at James' eyes. His bright green eyes were different than before, they had flecks of gold in them just around his pupil and they shimmered back at me, and they sucked me back in like they did the first time I saw them up this close. His head flopped onto my shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me tightly, pulling me off of the edge of the tub completely.
