Xavier's P.O.V."Xavier.""Hey Xavier.""Cole?" I ask, eyes still glued shut."Cole? No it's me Xavier." I open my eyes."Oh Hal, I should've known." I reply.Hal laughs."Alright, come on we gotta go to school." He informs me.I to turn to face Hal who is preparing clothes for me.I sit up."Alright, here are your clothes for the day. I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast." Hal then walks out of the room.I check out the clothes he put aside for me."Not too bad." I say to myself.After I get dressed and 'pamper' up.

Cole's P.O.V.Ashley drives into the school.My eyes widen as I see my abandoned car and a huge group of people standing around, looking like they were taking photos.Ashley immediately pats me on the back."It's alright Cole. They are probably doing something else." She says, trying to reassure me."No, no I know what they are doing." I say back, my eyes turn into slits. I open the car door.I hear Ashley call out my name but I ignore her, I need to know what they are doing. I reach the edge of the clump of people.I push them out of my way, some seeing my face and immediately backing away. I reach the middle of the group. All eyes are on me. I hear people whisper and see people giving me judgemental looks. They are all surrounding my dried up b

Xavier's P.O.V.Hal and I enter the school. "Oh what's going on over there?" Hal questions.I look towards the great clump of people. For some reason, my stomach immediately knots. This isn't good. It can't be. "Oh I'm not sure, I don't think I want to know either." I reply, large groups of people always means trouble, especially when they are all mummuring and have sneaky looks on the face. "Okay, I think the same." He replies.We both get out of the car. I check the time and see school has already started."Wow, it must be something important Hal, school's already started and they are all out here." I add, my curiosity piquing but my stomach twisting even further. I can't help but worry, about him. "Mm, yeah you are right. Hea

 Xavier's P.O.V.The person's eyes widen when they catch Hal’s figure."Hal?"Hal's eyes water, hers do too.The person at the door looks at me, and her eyes narrow.She looks back at Hal."I knew you didn't love me, but I didn’t know I was that bad that I changed you." Her fists clench and her face scrunches up. Her eyes burn red and are glossy with tears. She huffs then runs off in an angry flurry.My eyebrows furrow and I look at Hal confused. Us together? No I wanted to shout at her, but she was already gone and jumped to conclusions way too fast.Was that Semira?Hal buries his head into his arms, as he collapses on the bathroom floor. I realised how distraught Hal had become and

Xavier's P.O.V."Oh sorry." She speaks.I think it's Semira, she looks like the person who fell into the bathroom."Semira?" I ask.She stares at me for a moment, fighting her own thoughts. Finally she gives in and nods, a small sniffle follows.I needed to take this moment. I needed to redeem myself. "Hal and I aren't together." I blurt out. "He was just helping me. I promise." I say with intensity.She saunters to a nearby set of lockers and sits down, her back against them and her elbows resting on her tired knees. "Hal's right. I do doubt myself too much. Look at where it's gotten me." She softly says, head hanging. In this moment I noticed she had similar hair to Hal, brown and curly."Wait, you heard everythin

Xavier's P.O.V.I stop all of a sudden. My legs are heavy and my heart is throbbing. My throat feels dry. I take out my phone and check the time. Second period is almost finished which means the next session will start and a wave of students will fill the halls. It's going to be hard finding Cole in the sea of people that is about to erupt.'Remember the spot?' The voice chimed.What spot?'The second day you came to this school.'Oh, I remember. Didn't Cole say that that was his spot as well?'He did indeed.' I could imagine a cheeky grin from the voice as it spoke this.I walk outside the building. It's kind of chilly outside.I look up and see the grey clouds.Rain.I try to remember where the spot was.

Xavier's P.O.V."Don't be sorry Cole." I say softly, laying the side of my head against his chest. I gently hold his arm and inspect his cuts and bruises with a concerning eye. "Ow." He winces as I accidentally press too hard on a bruise."I'm sorry." I quickly step back."It's okay." He replies.We don't say anything."Did you do these to yourself?" I ask, dreading the answer I presume he will utter. It seems like a lifetime before he does anything. Imagining Cole harming himself would hurt me ten times more. Cole's expression changes."No Xavier, I would never do this to myself, knowing how much I would hurt you if I did." He replies.I exhale a sigh of relief but worry still consume

Xavier's P.O.V.We both decide to ditch the rest of the school day. I thank Hal for his help. We say we will stay in touch. Semira also chimes in and is grateful for my help. I actually helped somone.Cole and I lock arms and head to his sister's car."Where's your car?" I ask."Oh, it's over there." He points to a broken down car."Oh yeah." I respond.I let go of his arm and enter the car.I feel like crying. I can't believe all that shit we both went through was over. Only good times to come, I hope."You know what you need?" Cole smirks at me.I chuckle."What?"He sticks the key in the ignition and looks back towards me, his eyes narrow.I don't kno

Xavier's P.O.V."Boys!""Boys!""Cole?"I open my eyes, they feel so heavy. I blink a couple of times to get used to the light."Xavier? Cole?" Cole's mother's voice echoes from the stairs as I hear her heading towards Cole's room. I look around, my mind is as sharp as it should be when I just wake up. I see Cole next to me, sleeping peacefully. His body in a sort of star fish position. He has no shirt on. I look at myself, I also don't have a shirt. I lift up the blankets and see we both have no pants on either. "Shit." I mutter through a stifled laugh. "Guys, I'm coming in," I hear Cole's mum call from outside. Panic sets in, she can't see us like this. I quickly push Cole off the bed, making it look like we hadn't sleep together. I then pull the blankets up to c

Xavier's P.O.V.I get out of the shower, dry myself and head back into the bedroom to see Cole sitting on the bed in a black tank-top and black skinny jeans. His toned arms and legs on show. I blush at the sight."You can go have a shower now." I tell him, avoiding his gaze whilst folding the dirty towel and placing it in the corner so I could put in the wash later. "Nah it's all good. I'll have one when we get back." He says chucking his phone to the side of him and falling back onto the bed, his arms behind his head. "So are you having a treatment today?" He casually asks. His tone kind of irritates me, but I wasn't sure whether I was annoyed at him or at my illness. I decide to throw the idea away. "Uh, yeah I guess." I reply, laying across Cole's body in the opposite direction, so the back of me was rest
