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.We exit the hospital and drive off to my house. It's a still kind of day where the trees don't sway and the sky is a little orange but had blotches of pink. Whilst I drive I feel as though everything around us is still and we are the only thing moving. The tyres crawl up onto the driveway and we get out. He immediately plonks down on the couch. "Tired?" I ask. He nods his head as his lips set into a hard line. A bit of time passes before his eyes light up and turn towards mine. I tilt my head in anticipation. "Let's dye your hair now!" He exclaims, his energy reclaiming his lethargic limbs. I agree with him enthusiastically. "I'll go grab all the colours we have! Stay there." I run past him but not before I briskly hold his hand. I go into my sister's room and check the very same shelf that I checked before. All the colours are still there, except the blue

Cole's P.O.V.We drive into the school parking lot and sit in the car.I am so nervous. I just want to break down and cry, I want to tell Xavier to watch out, I want to tell him everything, but he has too much to worry about right now, I wouldn't want to put more stress on him."Cole, you seem really nervous, why?" He speaks, with doe eyes and eyebrows knitted together. "I'm not, it's okay." I reply, not looking at him. I may have been too blunt. "Is it me?" He softly asks. A hint of sadness in his tone."What, no of course not." I reply, still not looking at him. I can't bring myself to. Keeping secrets from him is too much for me to bear. What a fucking coward I am. My sight becomes blurry, warm tears roll down my cheeks as my jaw clenches along with my fis

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.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
