What is Love? (Skylox)

Chapter Seven - Bruises

Adam's POV
~One Month Later~
I nearly fell out of bed from worry. A nightmare swarmed in my head, a nightmare I didn't know I could have. I thought I couldn't feel emotions, but I could feel them perfectly fine in my dream like I had them for years. Just the thought of it made me shake. I tried standing in hope I could walk, only to fall and take my bedside table with me.
"Adam, you okay up there?!"
"Yeah I'm fine!" I called back down. I've been living at Mr.Dahlberg's two-story house and he's been nothing but kind. It's like he's my real grandfather.

After I went through my morning rountine, I bounded down the steps, skipping a few along the way. Mr.Dahlberg sat at a small wooden table that contained only four chairs. He held a newspaper in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other. I watched as he jumped when I spoke.
"Morning." He sighed and set the newspaper down but kept the mug in his hand.
"Good Morning."
"May I ask a question?" He gave a small nod and gestured to the chair across from him.

"Am I capable of having dreams or nightmares?" He thought for a moment.
"Yes." I was realived before becoming worried. I've never had a dream and don't know who they work.
"Dreams don't actually happen in real life do they?" Like last time, he had to ponder a moment before responding.
"They shouldn't but your special so I wouldn't know." He sounded so calm while a was freaking out on the inside. That dream was haunting me.

-Flashback of his Dream-
Ty laid sprawled across the tiled ground. A knife in his stomach and new cuts covered his wrists. The pool of blood sparkled around him as he laid there, nearly lifeless. He breathing was slow and labored.
"Ty!" He turned his head to where I was standing. He squinted and frowned.
"What do you want Adam?" His words came out slowly but I could still hear the hate behind them.
"Ty! Your dying!" I feel to the ground and lifted his head up a little.

"You don't care." He struggled in my grasp but I only held tighter. I lifted him up and hugged him close to me.
"I do. I really do. Ty?"
"What?" His voice was getting quieter each time he spoke.
"I love you Ty. Please don't leave." I sobbed on his soulder and he weakly brought his arms around my neck.
"I lov-" He fell limp in my arms. I began sobbing harder.
"Ty! No!"
-End of la Dream-

That's when I shot up in bed. I don't know what scare me but I hoped that I was scared of Ty. Scared of actually seeing Ty killing himself and dying in my arms. I didn't realize I was crying until Mr.Dahlberg put a hand on my shoulder.
"You okay Adam?" He looked down at me with tired eyes. I sniffed and whipped my face with my jacket's sleeve.
"I'm fine. It was just a dream."
"Nightmare." Mr.Dahlberg corrected me. "We should head to school." The thought of seeing Ty and that he was alright made me jump up and nod with excitment.

The second we arrived I sprinted out the car, waving back at Mr.Dahlberg on my way. As I ran down the hallway I ran into Mitch and the rest of Team Crafted, nearly knocking them down.
"Jeez Adam. You in a hurry?" I didn't even nod, I just needed to comfirm Ty wasn't dead.
"Where's Ty?" They all looked at each other before giving me weird glances.
"Didn't you get a text?" I checked my phone and there it was.

I'm not gonna be at school today. Please tell the teachers for me. I gulped at the text.
"Where does he live?"
"Aww. Wanna go check up on your boyfriend?"
"He's not my boyfriend but yes, I would like to check on him."
"4839 Leaf Road." (I don't know if that's a real adress but if it is, don't go there. I just made it up. Kay? Kay.)
"Bye!" I screamed before darting out the school. I just hoped it wasn't to far because it appears I'll be running.

Ty's POV
My dad hovered over me in the kitchen. He somehow got even more drunk and was taking it out on me. I screamed as he smashed his third bottle over my head.
"NO SCREAMING FAGGOT!" He slurred out, the smell of his breath making me want to gag. He punched me in the gut, making me slide down the cabnet and onto the floor. He kicked my already bleeding head before lifting me up by the shirt collar. He threw me onto the table before going over to the counter. He came back with a large knife over his head.
"Maybe this will teach you a lesson."

I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for the blade to pierce my skull. I felt the tip of the knife on my head before I heard loud screaming.
"NO!!!" I opened my eyes in time to see Adam tackle my dad. I saw the knife fly across the room before Adam came up with a bloody fist. He glared down at my now unconcious dad before turning to me.
"Ty! Oh my gosh are you okay!?"

He carried me bridel style and carried me out the door. If it were any other time I would have blushed, but right now, pain rushed through me and I felt to weak to do anything. Adam sprinted while carring me.
"A-Adam, y-your s-shirt." I whispered, remembering my bloody head.
"It's okay Ty." I buried my head into his chest with what little energy I had left. I heard Adam run into somewhere and screaming before I fell asleep.

I woke up in a hospital room. The light caused me to squint but I could see all the heads in the room. At the moment I couldn't tell who's who but I could see a sunglassed figure pacing infront of my bed.
"A-Adam?" My voice sounded as though I haven't used in in years.
"Ty!" He ran over and hugged me. After a few blinks, I was able to see everyoe else in the room. Every member of Team Crafted was here. In the past month they let me and Adam join and we were actually becoming quite close, another reason I stopped cutting was them.

"Hey g-guys." I gave them a weak wave when Adam pulled away. Mitch was the next to hug me. His checkered hoodie smelled lightly of colone.
"Colone Mitch? You goin somewhere?" He pulled back and I was able to see the blush on his face.
"Oh. I get it." I chuckled as he pushed away and crossed his arms.
"So I wasn't out for too long was I?"
"About a week." Adam rubbed the back of his neck as he spoke. I felt myself get light headed at his words. A week. I was out for a freaking week.
