Upside Down and Back Again a craftbattleduty fanfic

Chapter 28

Cloud's POV

Keep calm Cloud just keep calm.

"Well don't just stand there looking stupid come on in" Ash said as perky as always.

"Hey Jen can you show Lach his room pleaseeeee" Ash said.

"Yeah yeah" I said helping Lachlan with his other bag.

I led Lachlan up to his room and he said thanks.

I don't know why my stupid mind said it but I did

"Something seems down with you" I said looking at him.

"Yeah" he said looking at me half smiling.

That is when I realized he was looking a little bit different.

His once sky blue eyes were now filled with gray color

kinda like gray clouds

(See what I did there :)

"Come on what's wrong" I said still hiding behind my bangs.

"Nono its just just you wouldn't understand" he said looking down.

"I know you already told Ash but I think I can relate" I said pausing as he looks up at me curiously.

"About losing your girl right" I said getting his attention.

"Yeah but its complicated" he said.

"Then start from the beginning" I said sitting down on the foot of the bed.

"You sound just like her when you say that" he said smiling.

But why am I doing this..

Lachlan's POV

This Jen girl seems nice. She was helping me up with my bags but she caught me off guard when she said.

"Then start from the beginning"

Just like I told Cloud.

But Jen kinda looked like Cloud without the light blue tips.

Its not her Lachlan snap out of it I thought.

So I did just that I told her everything. And I saw a tear drip down my face as I finished.

She handed me a tissue.

"Well why do you think this girl left you guys?" She asked.

"Out of fear but she was even specialer then that cause this girl didn't care what her dad did to her...

She just wanted to protect us" he said.

"Do you think she will ever come back?" Jen asked.

"No cause she left a note saying so." Lachlan replied.

Cloud's POV

I figured out the reason I was talking to him.

I wanted to tell him to move on so he doesn't get hurt but maybe I wasn't completely right.............

"Well honestly I don't blame her she was scared and trying to protect you guys" I said.

"That's the thing her crazy dad burst in the night she left.......

He is in jail........" Lachlan says.

Say what I thought.

"She is safe now its just there is no way to tell her that" Lachlan said sadness filing his eyes.

They are safe......

My family is safe.......

Lachlan is safe.......

Can I go back home??????
