Xavier's P.O.V.
He then rushes out of the car.
"What's wrong with him?" I ask myself.
"Did I do anything wrong?" I start to panic.
I don't want to lose the one person in my life who I can trust. Maybe I could've never trusted him. Maybe he was just pretending all this time. But for what?
My head is a mess. School is starting soon, but I'm so worried about Cole. I decide to call him up before I go.
The phone rings.
"This number is temporarily unavailable at the moment-" I hang up. My throat hurts, it constricts and chokes me as burning tears threaten to slither down my face.
I decide to send him a text, I don't want him to think that he is alone. I can't give up so easily.
X: Cole please don't suffer in silence, I don'

Xavier's P.O.V.I just stand there.Cole walks me to his car.He sees the tears continue to roll down my cheeks, I can't hide anything now."It's stupid." I say looking away from him and out the car window, now sat in his car. My bottom lip curls under my top lip and my eyebrows scrunch together."Xavier, nothing you say is stupid trust me." He says.I decide to give in. I can't see him like this, and I can't nuture this pain anymore."I drew you in art today..."He smiles."Me? Aw that's sweet, but why are you crying?" He asks."...well, I put everything into it Cole, I...I coloured everything, and I went to go put the pencils away, but, but it was gone, it disappeared, I had a mini meltdown Cole. I wa

Cole's P.O.V."Please go back to school though, I'll see you later." He then leaves.Shit, I never told him about Shawn, I was going to tell him about the message and everything, but when he got in the car, he looked more distressed than me, I completely forgot.I don't want to go against what Xavier wants. I'll go to school, just for a bit though. But I can't bring myself to drive off. The fear of going to school is weighing on me. I hang my head and watch as my tears patter on my clothes.I exhale shakily. I wish I had Xavier next to me. I look back at the hospital and see Xavier isn't there. He must be in therapy now. I imagine him, strong as he is, going through this.'Exactly.'Great, just what I need.'Look at you, scared of words? Words on a scr

Cole's P.O.V.Semira looks so nervous. She reminds me of Xavier when I saw him introduce himself. It curdles weird uneasy feelings in me. I decide to ignore them for now."And where are you from Semira? Because you don't sound like you are from here." The teacher asks, laughing at her own joke, I don't even know if it was a joke."Um London. I'm from London, in England." She speaks."Okay, anything else you want to share with the class?" The teacher adds.Semira shakes her head, still looking down at the ground. Her long hair droops over her features."Okay head back to your seat. Semira everybody, make sure to keep her company and show her around the school." Where was this kindness with Xavier?Semira walks back to her seat and l

Xavier's P.O.V.The nurse finishes up and we both exit the room. I look at the seat Cole usually sits in, but he is not there. A bit of me feels sad, but there must be a reason, maybe he is on his way?The nurse notices it too."Oh your boyfriend is not here yet, do you want to wait for him?" She asks."Umm yeah I suppose so." I reply, feeling anxious."Okay, sit down I'll go get you some chips from the vending machine." She pats my back and leaves.I sit down.I feel extremely tired. I was looking forward to going to Cole's house and having a hot cup of chocolate with him, like we usually did after my treatments.But he'll be here soon and everything will be fine.The nurse comes back with a packet of crisps and a cup of water

Xavier's P.O.V.I unwillingly step into the car, my mother and father entering after me.I look at my feet, not wanting to make eye contact with the two monsters."Xavier? Why did you run away?" My mother asks, quite sadly. It surprised me. But then i remember, I am still freezing from the weather I walked in for an hour, but they couldn't care less.I don't want to talk to her, so I just stare out the window. My eyes glossy with fresh tears."Fucking respond Xavier!" My father shouts. I flinch, the tears tremble before falling."I f-f-felt uns-unsafe okay?" I stutter."Unsafe? Bloody hell." My father quickly adds as he turns around and starts the car up.My mother seems shocked."Oh sorry Xavier, I never meant for you to feel

Xavier's P.O.V.I climb the stairs and enter my 'new' bedroom. I cry at the sight. The window has been blocked with pieces of wood nailed to each other, the colour of the room is an off yellow colour, all my posters and things are gone. My bed still remained the same, it's like they hadn't touched it at all. This is good, I think this is where I last left my book that Cole -he -couldn't find. I grab the extra pens from inside my pillowcase. I rush to my pillow, I had never been more excited to take off a pillow case. My book and two pens fall to the ground.I still feel scared though. I don't know when my father will get home and what type of mood he'll be in. Usually he'd come home drunk and always smoking. Sometimes he would be so angry he would storm up to my room and shout at me for no particular reason. It hurt a lot.In movies and books, the

Cole's P.O.V."Okay stay in the car, I'll go ask." She exits the car.I wait, nervously.I try and call his mobile again."This service is not available at the moment, please call back later."Fuck.Moments later my mum runs out of the hospital, by herself.Oh no."He is not there, I asked the nurse and she said that you were waiting for him outside." She explains.I sit there dumbfounded."Well, I called his phone. He is not available." I say."I don't know where else to go." My mum says, I see in her eyes that she is scared. Scared for Xavier's wellbeing, scared if he is not okay? Is he even alive?I'm scared too. Terrified even.

Xavier's P.O.V.I open my eyes. I don't remember anything. Am I in Cole's house?"Cole?" I call out.But no one responds.Maybe he is sleeping.I stumble up to my feet, and look around the room I am in. It's dark, but I can figure out that this is not Cole's room... it's mine. I can tell from the lonley ambience that has lingered since I can remember.But I stand there confused.I swear Cole had saved me and I was in living at his house. What am I doing back here?I look around and see a body on the floor.It looks like my father.I widen my eyes and all the memories come rushing back to me. The betrayal everthing."Oh my God." I mumble.I ga
