Xavier's P.O.V.
"Please!" He begs, once more.
"Why?" I yell feeling frustrated and confused. All my emotions swirled inside of me, banging on the inside of my body, screaming for escape.
"Because I don't want you getting wet!" His tone laced with concern. Silence consumed us before a rush of emotion imploded within me.
"Why are you being so nice to me?!" I scream, feeling almost defensive. My heart was racing a million miles per hour whilst the rain battered down on the both of us. Cole ran up to me.
"Because, I li- I don't want you getting sick. Your parents will worry."
That triggered me off. My emotions couldn't hold steady any longer. It almost felt like my being was ravished by my intense emotions. Some have been trapped in their for a while, I'd imagine they would look rotten and hor

Cole's P.O.V.Xavier waved goodbye. He looked anxious and so small in front of the house. I wanted to stay with him. He told me his parents would kill him if they found out. I really wished that wasn't the case.I drive off to my place so I can dry off and put more... how do I say it? Party type clothes on. Sarah would arrive very shortly. I got out of the car. None of my parents or siblings were home yet. So I didn't have to greet anyone. I went straight up stairs, put on my leather black jeans, which I quite like, and another long black singlet on. I dry my hair and put on my red cap backwards, I look pretty good, not being vain or anything. I spray deodorant on and go downstairs. All that was on my mind was Xavier. I hope his parents aren't as harsh as he told me they were.A knock on the door startles me. I get up and peek through the peephole to see Sarah. I open the do

Xavier's P.O.V.My hands start to tremble as I stand in front of my father."Who was that, son?"Did he see him?"Come inside, come on." He acts nice around the neighbours, but once I step inside, it's a different person.He slowly closes the door, turns around and smiles at me. It reminds me of a predator, smiling at its helpless prey.My breathing becomes faster."Who thefuck was that?!" He threw the lamp next to him off the table, making it smash into a million pieces.I can't speak.I'm frozen."Whose jacket is that?!" He towers over me and shoves my left shoulder, I stumble away from him."Because I know it isn't yours!" He rapidly charged towards me, ripping the jacket

Cole's P.O.V.I take the bag.I can't disappoint my friends.But are they even my friends if they want me to harm myself?I get given an already made cigarette.I smoke it.The effects are felt straight away.Dizzy, nauseous, light-headed.This is not me.But Sarah loves this me.She jumps on me, touching and feeling me, I respond, but not willingly.We kiss, very roughly and passionately."Oh Cole, I miss you, I love you." She says, while lightly biting my neck.I forget what happened for the remainder of the night.I open my eyes. The bright sunlight burns.I place my hand above

Xavier's P.O.V."Xavier. Xavier wake up." I hear my mother, she gentely shakes me.I open my eyes, my body is aching all over. I am in agony."I know it hurts darling, sit up." She says sweetly, helping me sit up.My sight is a bit blurry, but I could make out the hot chocolate and pancakes which were before me, the smell helped too."Is he gone?" I ask, referring to my father."Yeah, he is at work."The simple thought of him made me want to tear up."It's okay. Drink up, and I told the school you won't be attending today." She left the room. She was being so considerate and caring. My heart felt as warm as it would be when I take a sip of hot chocolate and tuck into a piece of my fluffy pancakes.I feel a bit sad, kno

Cole's P.O.V."Hey Ash." I say through the phone. I decide to call my sister."What do you want?" She responds, angrily."I need you to pick me up, I'm near th-""I am at school.""Yeah I know.""Well? Where's the logic in that Cole?""How am I supposed to get home?""Cab? Walk? I don't know. I need to go."She hangs up.A cab didn't sound like a bad idea. I find it hard to believe I was that stupid I didn't think of this before. I check my pockets to see if I have any money. I find $50, that should be enough. I dial a cab and sit on the curb of the old dusty road waiting.Moments later I hear the tyres on the rocks, tiny pebbles shoot out at every angle.

Cole's P.O.V.I run towards Xavier's house. I still remember where it is, from the last time I went there.With my breath all gone, and my legs aching, I reach the house. My heart is pumping so hard I can hear it echo throughout my body. I don't see any cars outside.Maybe his parents are at work.Metaphorically, I have two roads I can go down.One, I knock on the door and hope that Xavier is there by himself and fine and I can know for sure if he is okay, but I risk the chance of his parents opening the door and killing me and Xavier.Or.Two, I can walk away and have the thought of Xavier being not okay in my mind, pestering and worrying me until I see Xavier at school.I stand there thinking.Which is the best option?

Xavier's P.O.V.'Smack!'I jolt up, as a loud noise comes from my left. I look to my window."What was that?"I want to get up and investigate, but my body is in so much pain.'Smack!'I catch a glimpse of a stone hitting my window.Who's throwing stones at my window?"Maybe you should get up and see. What if it's a robber or something trying to break in?"I get up and creep towards my window, not wanting the person outside seeing me, they could have a gun. Every limb in my body screams out in pain, but I need to silence them if I have any chance of investigating.'Smack!'Another one, one more and I think my window is going to break.I muster up a

Xavier's P.O.V.I can't believe I actually fell for it. All that shamefull and useless swooning.But I hear the door open."Xavier!" I hear Cole yell, he seemed relieved, and so am I. I suddenly feel comfortable again, like I am in my own bubble, my own bubble with just him and me in it, it is solid again."Yeah?" I reply as I hear him climb the stairs.He finally reaches my bedroom door."Anything wrong?" I ask, trying to make him explain why he took so long. Was I going to tell him how angry and hurt he made me? Defintely not. I don't want him to think I am that clingy, although I may be just that. I don't want to scare him away just yet."Your father, I thought there was a car coming. That's why I took so long, sorry." He explains, laughing.
