An Angel A Demon

Andy's POV

“Andy it`s hard I know, but I want to help you become stronger, I saw your wrists earlier and how you flinched when i grabbed them. I'm sorry if I hurt you when I grabbed them, but it`s not worth it Andy, the pain the risk, the scars” Ashley said sincerely.

“But I deserve it.” I whispered trying not to sob.

Ashley didn't let go of my hand but didn't start talking again, which worries me that he`s going to hurt me or yell. Eventually after 10 painfully fast minutes we pulled into, what I presume was his house. It was white with bricks covering parts of the house, it was 3 stories tall and the biggest house I've ever seen. As he pulled into the driveway he let go of my hand and shut the engine off and sighed deeply before unbuckling and getting up. I grabbed my backpack and started getting out of the car when Ashley said ”Just leave it in the car, we'll drive back to school later.”

I did as Ashley said and walked with him up to the front door. As he unlocked the door it revealed a huge living room with giant couches and a big flatscreen TV with gaming consoles surrounding it. The living room was connected to the kitchen with a hole in the wall so it was a bar. Ashley kept walking until we were in the kitchen that had huge cabinets littering the walls. He went into another hallway that lead downstairs.

The downstair area was bigger than the upstairs. There was a living room a bit smaller than the one from earlier that had red couches and another big TV. Off the the other side was a small mini bar and another hallway leading to 3 rooms, Ashley`s bedroom, guest room, and the bathroom.

When we finally got into his room it was painted all black with a gray strip going around the perimeter of the room, his bed was black, his desk was black, his door, everything.

“You can sit on my bed or whatever you want.” Ashley said plopping down on his bed.”Nobody`s home so we can do whatever the hell we want until we go back to stupid school.”

“Ashley, why are you trying to help me?” I finally said. “Nobody`s ever cared about me, so why you?”

“Because nobody should be forced to go through what you are going through, and I know how it feels.” He said apologetically.

“Nobody`s ever given 2 shits about me, and you don't know a goddamn thing about me.”I was starting to get angry, by now I was pretty sure that Ashley was lying to me and was planning something.

“Andy please calm down, I want to help you.” Ashley said sitting up and turning to face me.

“Nobody ever wanted to help me, why all of a sudden on my first day of school somebody cares? Why now? Why did you decide I needed help? You revealed things that are extremely personal that I haven't shared with a soul within 2 hours of knowing one another.” I finally blurted out.

I Just felt something warm wrap around my body, Ashley was hugging me. The hate and anger just seemed to disappear at that moment and turn into sadness. All the sadness that I'd been holding inside finally made its way out in sobbs. Fucking hell, I'm so pathetic, so weak.

Ashley`s POV

Andy is so broken, so much pain and anger he`s been holding in. He thinks that we are different, when really, we are so alike.

“Andy, we might look different but we are so alike. But you're stronger than me mentally. You get up everyday and fight. You're still here.” I said hugging his small but tall frame.

“But I've tried killing myself and I even failed at that. I Can't do a single thing right.” Andy sobbed into my shoulder.

My heart shattered at that moment. I Just wanted to cry with him. But instead I let go of him and pulled him down onto my bed so we were sitting and facing eachother.

“Andy look at me, you can get through this. I went through the same thing. I had nobody to support me. I had no friends, I was getting the shit beaten out of me just like you. After a year or two I started to believe what they were saying about me. I was like an Outlaw, or an Outcast just like you. I still am in many ways. Nobody` perfect. Not even a god will fit society's standards. So stop trying to be what they want you to be and be who you really are.”

“Ashley, I can't do this anymore. I don't belong here or anywhere. I just want a place to call home.” He was still sobbing and I just pulled him into my chest hugging him tightly.

“You're like a fallen angel, no place to call home. You were cast down for a reason and I think it`s because you fight.”

“I can't do this anymore.” Andy wept into my chest.

“Never give in, never back down.” I quietly whimpered in his ear.
