Xavier's father leers into Cole's terrifed eyes.
"You fucking piece of shit! You turned Xavier didn't you? All this is because of you! People like you should be killed!" He spits.
"Get off me!" Cole yells, using all his strength to push the man away from him.
Cole runs towards the window, but he had one more thing to say.
"You have a serious problem" He hatefully says as he hops out the window.
At the sight of Cole, Xavier's eyes light up. He runs towards him.
"Cole! Are you okay?" He frantically and wide eyed looking at his face to see if there were any injuries.
"I'm fine. We need to get out of here though. Now." Cole places his hands on either side of Xavier's body, before slipping his right hand into Xavier's left.
"Fuck!" Cole face-palms.<

Cole's P.O.V."What about it?" He asks.I am taken back. I remember it like it was yesterday. Like I was watching it in front of me.I walked out of my house, my mother waved goodbye. I popped in my earphones and press shuffle, I like the universe to decide.I continued walking but see someone running up to me in the distance. I squint and make out the person, or should I say people, and the closer they came, the more people there were.I start to make out faces.I immediately calm down when I see it's just Shawn and my friends."Hey guys!" I yell, taking out my earphones."Wassup?" Shawn asks, as we all finally meet up.I look in his eyes and see something is off.I decide not to question a

Cole's P.O.V.I look up to see tears streaming down Xavier's face."Xavier no, don't cry." I say as wipe away his tears with my thumb."But, that's horrible, I'm sorry that happened.""It's not your fault, you don't need to be sorry." I say."Well, that's not all." I add.He looks up."After that I felt shit. But I didn't show it. I felt too much pain. I told them I should wash up before going back to school. So I went home."I opened the door. My parents and sisters were gone. I dropped my bag on the floor. I stared at my hands. My dirty and blood-stained hands. These didn't look like my hands. I wasn't me anymore. I rushed up stairs and witnessed my horrible reflection in the mirror. The actions and my reflection don't add up.

Cole's P.O.V.I exhale softly and hold his eyes in my gaze."Ditto." I simply whisper back.The fact that he has cancer comes back to me.We don't have that long together.Unless the treatment works."Are you scared?" I ask softly.He closes his eyes."Kind of... I just knew it was coming one day." He shrugs his shoulders."What do you mean you knew it was coming?""My father always used to smoke inside the house, like heaps, sometimes I could see a gathering of smoke just floating beneath the ceiling, this was a while ago. My mother used to hate it too, but she doesn't say anything, I think she's scared of him. I had no choice but to breathe it in, I mean I couldn't hold my breath forever." He admits,

Cole's P.O.V."Cole.""Cole."I feel a slight tap on my shoulder. I open my eyes and see a silhouette. I rub my eyes and take in the figure that stands before me. It's Xavier with a warm and satisfied smile on his face."Hey." He says, softly.I smile back.I look at the front window and see it's still dark outside. I wondered what time it was."Did you sleep well?" I asked him.He smiled widely, his cheeks round and soft."We were only out for a bit... we still have the whole night." He informs me. "I'm still tired."I get up from the couch and slip my hand into his."Let's sleep then, for real." I lead him upstairs and into my be

Cole's P.O.V."Cole! Wake up.""Cole!"I jolt up."Cole!" I hear my mum yell."Fuck." I curse under my breath. Cole sleepily opens his eyes and turns to me. "Cole get on the bed now." I whisper to him sternly.His eyebrows knit together in confusion."I'm coming mum!" I yell out to her, at the same time informing Xavier of the situation. He quickly gets up and slides under the covers of my bed.I open my door and see my mum standing there."Uh...hi." I say, feeling a bit dozy as I pretend that everything is normal."You need to get to school Cole, your sister is up already." She explains."Oh yeah, sorry." I say, placing a hand behind my

Cole's P.O.V.I enter the school grounds.I'm so nervous.I quickly go to the bathroom to see how I look.My reflection stares back at me. It looks so alone and just dead."I need to re-dye my hair." I say to myself. The brown roots are coming back through the blue."Xavier can choose the next colour. " I smile at the thought.I gather all my courage and get to class. I have psychology. I enter the room, all eyes stare at me. Some scared, some judgemental. I will never understand why people are afraid of me, ever since I have gone to school people had been scared or afraid. I'm a nice person. Do I look scary?I walk trying to avoid glances, I sit in my usual seat which is left untouched."Well, look who decided to show up. Mr.
