Jay’s POV
Dashing out the car with my heart pounding out my chest. Thought the rain I see a small figure sprayed out on the road mear inches from my car front. And that sent a whole new wave of worry and shell-shock through me.
“OH SHIT!!! Did I just run someone over? OH MY GOD DID I KILL SOMEONE!!!?” I shout in panic, not being able to move a muscle, nothing runs through my mind, everything is just a blank space.
“N-no” An all to familiar, soft stutter just barley reaches my ears.
“Wha-ASHER!!!” The realisation breaks me from my nothingness as I feel it all come crashing back down on me. Its cant be Asher!! Please god, please tell me it’s not him!! Races through my thoughts as I rush over to the small figure, my only light source in the pitch black of night is my head lights from my car. I feel the blood rush out my face as I gaze at the two different colour eyes I adore so much, but wished I wouldn’t see.
“ASHER!! Oh my god what did I do!!?? Fuck!”I kneel down to him on the ground. He tries to curl into a ball with his body and his face contorts in pain as he presses his lips together to stop and sound from slipping out. As delicate as I can, tying not to put him in anymore pain then he is in already, I scoop his tiny fragile body into my arms while muttering ‘it’s going to be ok’ and ‘I’ve got you’ in an attempt to get ease him as best as possible. I struggle to get the passenger door open while carrying him, even though he weighs nothing, but eventually I get it open and carefully place him down on the leather seat and out of the rain.
With the light inside the car I only now notice him clutching his left arm, blood covering his hand and covering his lips trailing down his chin, now smeared on my clothes.
“Shit! What the fuck happened!?”I slip into a daze for a split second before ripping my self from my shock and sky rocketing worry that pained my heart at the sight of him, I have to focus, get him help. Like on cue my phone ringer from were I had thrown it earlier. Picking it up I see Lilys face light the screen.
“WHAT THE HELL JAY!!! Do you have any idea how worried I was, is it really that hard for you to pick up the fucking phone!!! Were are you? Are you ok? Ca-“I cut her off knowing she probably has a thousand questions I don’t have time for.
“Listen Lily, I’m sorry and all that shit but I need your help, Asher’s hurt and he’s bleeding!! And I have no idea what to do!! What do I do?!!”I plead over the phone, glancing at the boy in the passenger seat, his face is frowning in the pain, the blood round his mouth only making it look worse. I feel like a spear has been jammed straight through my heart.
“Woah slow down, did you say Asher?! “she questioned, but I couldn’t stand just standing a doing nothing with the sight of him, growing impatient.
“YES!! And he’s hurt and bleeding!!! Now WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO!!“I shout in frustration.
“Bring him home, mom can help him. I know thats the last thing you want to do right now bu-“
“I’m coming, tell her to be ready!“I cut her off and hang up the phone before she can reply. I sprint to the other side of the car and jump into the seat, speeding back the way I had just come. I really don’t have it in me to deal with my mom, but Asher’s at stake here and I would do anything for him. I have no intention to so much as speak to my mother, she has to just treat him and ill be out of her fucking hair.
“Hey Asher, it’s ok. I’m taking you home to my mom, shes a nurse so shes gong to help you out. You’re going to be fine ok!?”I tell him while I drive, sparing a single glance off the road and at him as I. Hear a slight chuckle. Is he laughing?
“I-It’s n-not as b-bad as i-it l-looks.”He rasped out from the passenger seat.
“I wouldn’t be to sure about that, It looks pretty bad. Just….just keep pressure on your arm okay, we’er almost there.”I try to keep my voice steady, try to keep my reckless emotions under lock and key as I stear into the darkness and rain ahead of me.
My head lights soon shine on my front door as I pull up to the drive, not botherin to park it properly whatsoever. I race around the front of my car to Asher’s side to help him out and guide him to the houes. I wrap his arm around my neck and take most of his weight as I hold his waist tightly, as though if I let go I would lose him.
“MOM! LILY I NEED HELP!!!”I shout as we bust through the front door, dripping wet from the rain outside. My mother and sister come running out the living room and instantly I notice their faces turn as white as a sheet.
“A-A….c-come bring him in hear.”My mother snapped out of her initial sock and ushers me and Asher into the living room where I gently sit him down on the couch. Mom slides by his side and stars to examine his arm, ripping his sleeve off to get better access, revealing his stick thin arms and bruises randomly littering his perfect pale skin along with the blood that traveled slowly down his arm. His wrist has what looks like the worst bruise, wrapping around like a bracelet of purple, blue and red.
“Its not too bad, thankfully you wont need stitches but there are lot of cuts so I’ll clean it and wrap it up for you.”My mom explains before she gets up to go get the alcohol wipes. As soon as she say that I let out a breath I don’t realise I was holding. Lily Just stood by the door, shock and worry written over her face.
My mom returns with the wipes in hand and begins to dab the blood away, causing Asher to let a small hiss of pain slip his lips, but he soon clamps his lips together and doesn’t make a peep. Instinctively I grab his free hand with out even realising it, not until I feel him wrap his tiny had around my much lager one, sending indescribable sparks erupt from my finger tips up my arm. Mom continues to clean his cuts, every now and then he would squeeze my hand due to the pain, and I would squeeze back in reassurance.
“Ok, thats all done. Is there anywhere else your hurt that I should look at?” His face pales, but he slowly nods his head.
“m-my a-an-kle.”he barley whispers. Mom then goes to examine that. Her eyes briefly glance at our interlocked fingers and a look of sadness flashes in her eyes, but she doesn’t say anything about it.
“It looks like you just have a minor sprain, nothing to worry to much about. Just stay off it for a few days and Ill put an ankle brace on it.”she sends him a small reassuring smile, then gets up again prepared to leave, but is stopped by Asher.
“Th-thank y-you Miss W-walker.”
“you’re welcome, ummm”
“A-Asher Grey-greyson”. Her eyelids shoot up at the name and unreadable emotions flood her face, but she quickly recovers.
“uh..y-yh umm you can go wash up, you can stay the night.”then she turned to me.
“Y-you should umm…..y-you should go too before you catch a cold……Get him some clothes and a place to sleep.”I don’t reply to her, or even spare her a glance until I hear her steps head for the door.
“Come on, Ill start a bath for you considering I don’t think I can stand in a shower at the moment.”I say, slowly lifting him from the couch and head for the stairs, not noticing the horrified look on his face.
The simple touch sent so many explosions go off inside me, under my skin. It wasn’t pain full, it was that most exhilarating feeling in the world. I wonder If he feels it too, I hope he feels it too. We get to my room and I set him down on my large bed. He looks around and observed every detail of the room, he’s been here before but I don’t think he was early paying attention at the time. I feel a slight pain in my heart at the thought that the only time he’s here he’s hurt. I go to the bathroom to start running the water for him, but my mind was elsewhere.
I thought about the feeling I had when I saw him, that fear. It was like nothing I had ever felt before, to see him so hurt and just laying on the floor with blood and tears. Ididn’t even want to think about it because even that hurt, and I never what to feel it again. I will do everything in my power to make sure he’s ok, to make sure he’ll be safe from whoever it hurting him, and I WILL find out who the mother fucker is.
“The baths full, you can go now and if you need anything ill be right out side. I’m going shower after you so I’m not going anywhere.”I announce as I leave the bathroom. But now I notice his hesitation. He slowly nods his head but he never makes eye contact, he just looks lost. Snapping out my thoughts, but not erasing my worry, I make my way over to him and help him to the bathroom. He doesn’t even try to walk, letting all his weight fall dead on me as I take us the short distance to the door.
As soon as we step in his eyes lock onto the tub of water. He pales like a sheet of paper and ever so slightly trembling in my arms.
“Hey…hey what wrong!?”I stupidly ask, not a word falls out his mouth as he starts taking deeper, shorter breaths. His eyes are still trained on the liquid, however his trembling has turned into full on shaking in fear. His body gives way under him, but I’m there to catch him and slowly lower us to the cold tiled floor. I’m confused, I’m terrified and lost. I do all I can to calm him down, wrapping my arm’s protectively around his entire fragile, shaking body, trapping him in my comfort and soft rub my hand in soothing circles on his back. I let him finally give in, finally let the tear flow, finally sink into my embrace and sob silently into my chest.
“Shhhh…..it’s ok. like I told you last before, I’m always here, your the unlucky boy who’s stuck with me no matter what.” I whisper softly into his ear as his sobs slowly come to a stop and only his cute little hiccups remain. His head is still buried in my chest despite the fact we’re both still wet from the rain outside.
“N-no”he forces out, so quietly I wouldn’t have hear it if I wasn’t paying attention.
“No? No what?”I question. He let out a small, almost silent, chuckle. It’s the most heavenly sound I’ve ever heard, my soul instantly fills with warmth and pleasure and every inch of my body feels like its buzzing with joy.
“No, I-I d-don’t think I-I’m unlucky t-to be stuck w-with you”he reply’s. I want to see his face but its still hidden. I don’t care to much though, I just cling to the feeling as if I’m on cloud nine as my entire inside fills with more warmth and literal buzz, even given the situation I couldn’t help grin like a dork at who utterly cute and adorable he is.
We sit there for a few more minutes, waiting for him to completely calm himself enough, but I the water was going to get cold and I still had no clue why he reacted like that. So I do the obvious thing, ask like a curious puppy.
“What happened? Why did you break down as soon as you stepped into the bathroom? Did I do something wrong?”he stays silent for a bit before gathering the strength to rely.
“I-I’m scared o-o-of w-wat-ter.”the answer hit me like a tone of bricks. HOW THE FUCK DID I NOT THINK ABOUT THAT!!!! HOW STUPID COULD I GET!!!! I mean he drowned for fuck sake, of course he’s going to be afraid of water! I’m seriously so fucking dum and blind.
“I am so, so sorry!! I-I’m a dickhead and I wasn’t thinking at-“
“I-It’s ok.”His whispered, gently voice cuts me off. He moved his face from its hiding place to I could see the beauty it held. His face is stained with tears and hair plastered to his face, but he was smiling, his smile causing be butterfly’s in my stomach as cliche as it sounds. His eyes held pain and fear, but his smile held kindness this world didn’t deserve. I couldn’t tear my eyes from his, I studied every inch of his face, every tiny freckle that complemented his small button noes, his full soft lips and his blush that creeped up his cheeks. I cup his face with my left hand as gently run my thumb over his soft, velvety skin, wiping away the remaining tears that trailed down his perfect face.
I was so lost in him I don’t realise I had slowly leaned forward until I’m inched from his face, his warm breath hitting my skin. He didn’t move away from me, his eyes staring into mine and flickering down to my lips. I don’t move any closer, Ive learnt that he is a very cautious and fragile person, so I left the decision up to him as I waited for him to react.
I saw the hesitation and for a split second I felt the pain of him rejecting me, but that pain was quickly banished when his soft lips just barley connects with mine. I cloes my eyes and fall into the pure ecstasy that ran through me, the kiss was gentle and comforting as he slowly relaxes Into it and began to move his lips in sync with mine. I was instantly addicted, he was like the best drug on the planet I couldn’t get enough. I didn’t feel like I was sitting on the bathroom floor on the cold, hard tiles, everything just blurted into the background and it was just me and him on cloud nine. He lets out a small, cute gasp when I run my tongue over his lip, but he ever so slightly parted his lips to grant me access.
I thought he would fight for dominance like every other person I have ever kissed before, both boy and girl, but he didn’t. He happily let my tongue roam his warm, moist mouth. He tased sweet and sent waves of pleasure through my body from his quiet moans as I graze over his teeth. His hands had found my hair and gently tugged at in, only increasing the euphoria.
We only pull apart when the limited air in our lungs run out, leaving us breathless. My eyes remain closed as I lean my forehead on his, just soaking in the pleasure. I finally open my eyes to be met with the beautiful, slightly mismatched orbs staring back at me, filled with lust, confusion and pure delight all mixed together.
He really is going to drive me insane.
–Oh MY FUCKING GOD!!!! I can’t believe I wrote that. But like I’m literally screaming right now bc like, IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! They kissed, like actually kissed!! Yall have not clue how long I’ve been waiting for that to happen.
