Two of the Best

Alex’s POV:
I somehow managed to keep all the food down, but I struggled to. My stomach hurt like hell though. I had to choke back tears when I was forced to flush the blades, but I kept a few, and I knew Raven did, too. We wouldn’t be able to live without it. You can’t just simply stop. But maybe Andy will be my motivation to stop. I was sitting on the couch on my phone when I heard the part about the two girls and then started to listen more. They really didn’t need us as any distractions. Also, I would hate it if our depression passed on to them. I heard Andy say that we couldn’t leave their sight, they must be really worried about us. I felt a bit of guilt pass on to me, we were a bit of a distraction. I looked up when the conversation stopped and Andy walked into the room, coming over to me.
“Come on, I want to see them now,” Andy whispered and I got up. We went into the bathroom and I stood still, I didn’t want him to see them. I was ashamed of them. He grabbed one of my arms gently and pulled up my sleeves, and I heard my draw in his breath quickly. I only looked away, trying my hardest not to start sobbing. His thumb ran over the raised lines. So many of them were fresh. And he must’ve figured that some of them were from yesterday, when I scratched them and before the concert, when I cut my arms deeply.
“P-Please... Don’t do this to yourself, you don’t deserve to feel any pain like this...You are beautiful and you don’t need these scars to make you beautiful. None of these scars can make me love you less.” Andy said and I felt tears start to stream down my face, but slowly. And then I noticed it. L-love me less? A-Andy l-loved me..? He brought my arm up to his mouth and gently kissed the scars, dropping my arm softly after. Then he did it. He slowly leaned in and pecked my cheek, causing my eyes to widen a bit. All I did was stand there, in total shock. I slowly gave him a hug, I would be too embarrassed to make any big move like Andy did.
“T-Thank you…” I mumbled, letting the tears run down my cheeks. He hugged me back and we stood there for a few more minutes before I pulled back.
“We should probably go out to the others.” Andy suggested and I nodded.
“Y-Yeah…” I wiped my eyes and he left. I then turned around to look in the mirror for a few seconds before going out. When I returned back to the group I saw CC and Raven together, causing me to smile. I hope everything works out perfectly for them. I sat down next to Andy and sighed softly, leaning up against him and he wrapped an arm around my small frame. I can’t believe I was this comfortable with him so soon. I haven’t felt this safe in someone’s arm for years. I yawned softly, I was exhausted. I had to stand of a few trains for at least 3 hours to get down here yesterday, and then I wasn’t able to sleep because of Jake snoring and then eating at 2 in the morning.
“Go to sleep if you are tired, I’ll carry you to the bed if you fall asleep.” Andy said and I just simply nodded, closing my eyes. The second I fell asleep I knew what was going to happen. The dreams would come, everything that I had to deal with flashing in my brain, forcing me to remember.

Notes

Hey. So I know this chapter is once again sad, but I promise that soon[not exactly in the next chapter I write] there will be some smut. I think I said this is the last chapter, but just remember that you are important and that someone out there loves you, and you may not even know it. Thanks guys.
