Love's End

~Andy~

Ash and I were cuddled in his bunk, my laptop propped up so we could watch a movie, his hands tracing some weird swirly design on my hips.
"I can't believe those fuckers bet money on our love life." I told him suddenly, making his hands still.
"Yeah, but babe, they weren't mad. Hell two of them were elated and Jinxx was mad is you tried to kill yourself a week early." I stiffened. He was trying to keep this light hearted, but I knew he didn't find this even remotely funny.
"I wasn't trying to kill myself." I told him, thinking back to it.
"I found you covered in your own blood holding a blade and covered in scars. What the hell were you doing?"
"I was cutting, but I didn't mean to loose that much blood. I was just... I thought you hated me." He was stiff as a board and almost unmoving.
"Why would I hate you?"
"I'm weak. and pathetic. I let Hal beat me and kill my baby."
"It won;t work now."
"What won't work?" I asked.
"Cutting. We heal. It won;t even hurt. I won;t let you leave me alone in this world. You're my light."
"I love you Ashley."
"I love you Andy."
