The boy who saved me

[melbender]

First topic message reminder :

lily suffered something tragic. 

Scared and afraid, she struggles to see the light after a night that went terribly wrong. 

Then she see’s him again.. and everything changes. Can he bring her back to whole, and completely heal her.

[Ashwag24]

I smiled. “You think my face is pretty?” I laughed “I love you more now let’s make sure Tom is okay, if he is upset I wanna make sure he doesn’t do anything that harms himself.” I grabbed her hand and walked out. “Dad we will be back Lily’s brother is upset we want to make sure he is okay.” He nodded and we walked out. On the drive I could tell she was worried. “Did you let him know we were coming?”

[melbender]

“No I didn’t. I don’t want to make him panic or take off.” I looked out the window full of worry. “He wouldnt hurt himself, right?” God I hope not

[Ashwag24]

I looked over at her. “I don’t when someone feels alone and is scared it’s hard to tell baby. But we will make sure her is okay and make sure he knows he can count on us. Okay”. I grabbed her hand and kissed it. As I pulled up. “Hopefully Noah doesn’t want to kick my ass while I’m here.”

[melbender]

I scoffed “trust me, I won’t want to even start on you after our fight.” I muttered and walked up the pathway to the door with him. Dad and mum were sitting on the couch talking, and I bypassed them in a hurry “Tom!” I called out bursting into his room

[Ashwag24]

I just followed her in and when we got to his room and he was sitting on his bed with a knife I new she would freak “baby, go get some water please.”  I had to get her out of the room.  As she gave me a look I nodded and mouth ‘please.’  Once she listened I walked slowly over to Tom.  “Tom, what’s going on? Your sister is so worried about you.”

[melbender]

“I’m gay. Clearly everyone knows it.. I mean why can’t I be normal.” He sighed running a finger over the blade “I didn’t ask to be like this..” he shook his head angrily “dads dissapointed.. I know he is, he doesn’t have to say it but I know. Mum doesn’t care, shes too busy with the baby and all the shit we put her through, all she wants is us to be happy but I’m the fuck up.”

[Ashwag24]

I shook my head stepping closer. “I remember my buddy in the hospital, he said the same things. He was so set on he was different but he wasn’t and your not either Tom. Your Tom the nicest person I’ve ever met, your strong and smart. So what you don’t like girls, so what if people don’t understand your wants and needs. What matters is that you come to terms with how you feel, I don’t want you to do what John did. He was so upset that nobody understood and that he was different he took his life and I never got the chance to tel him that I found out the boy he liked, liked him too.” I sighed. “He was my best friend in the hospital the first time. He was a lot like you and I should have told him how much his friendship met to me. Tom your not alone in this trust me, lily is here your mum she is here and your dad come on that guy can’t disappointed in you, he loves you for who you are. Then you have all your brothers they all care about you. If that’s not enough you have me too and I have plenty of friends you can talk to actually I think the only friends that aren’t gay is your brothers. But you don’t want to hurt yourself because you wouldn’t be only hurting you, I know you don’t want to hurt your family specially lily. So give me the knife and let’s go downstairs and talk to your parents you’d be surprised how it might help you.” I held my hand out waiting patiently.

[melbender]

“I’ll give you the knife but I’m not going down there tonight.” He muttered, handing it over reluctantly and sitting back on the bed with his head in his hands “I just need to be alone for a bit.. I’ll talk to dad later.. and lily too, but for now I just need to be alone. Thanks Gunnar. I see why Lily’s so damn crazy about you.”

“More than crazy.” I said from outside the door and the. Slapped a hand over my mouth realising I was meant to be quiet with the way dad raised a brow at me. “Oops, sorry!”

[Ashwag24]

I smiled. “I’m sure you know why I’m so damn crazy about your sister too, but really I’m always around if you want to tak or just hang out I’m sure all my other friends would love to meet you too.” I winked at him. “When your ready of course.” I walked over and pulled him up and hugged him. Whispering. “Really cal me anytime.”

[melbender]

“I will.” He smiled at him, watching him leave the room. My sister looked in the bedroom and crossed both arms “You’re paying for breakfast tomorrow, I want the grand daddy’s of all breakfasts too.” She said and took off down the hall. “Do you think he’s going to be alright?” I asked when we were alone again.

[Ashwag24]

I smiled. “Yeah I think he will, he has all of you .” I pulled her to me. He did crack a smile when you opened that beautiful mouth of yours.” I kissed her head. “I’ll be there for him whenever he needs me don’t worry I’ll take care of him.”

[melbender]

“Just make sure to take care of you too.” I needed him o remember he still had to get better. “So, I’m thinking pizza on the way home, unless you’ve already eaten?”

[Ashwag24]

I shook my head “Pizza is good.” We left and went to get pizza once home we took the pizza to my room and ate while watching a movie. “I think one of my buddy’s would be good for Tom. He is a good guy and he went through this but he is someone I can see Tom really liking. But I would want you to meet him first.”

[melbender]

“Of course, he needs to be up to my standards before I agree on that.” I winked, laying back with a groan and rubbed my flat stomach “oh god I am so full right now.”

[Ashwag24]

I smirked. “Your beautiful.” I laid back and ash jumped up and actually laid with me. “I think I’m forgiven.” I laughed and rubbed his little head.

[melbender]

“I think so too.” I smiled watching ash get comfortable “did you notice no one asked me why we were together tonight, I think they’re expecting me to move into your bachelor pad.”

[Ashwag24]

I laughed. “I think your right they didn’t even question it at all.” I pulled her to me. “So when you want to move in?” I laughed and then thought. “You know when you do Tom can come anytime, as well as your other brothers.”

[melbender]

“I want to move in this weekend, we’ve spent too much time apart.” I laughed, kissing him back. “Oh I’m so happy, us living together will be perfect.”

[Ashwag24]

I smiled.  “I think so too.” I was excited about her moving.  “Maybe I can ask Matt to help move and you can meet him and decide if he would be good for Tom.”  I winked.

[melbender]

“You do realise that makes no sense.” I grinned “I have 6 grown brothers and I’m pretty sure my dad will be the one moving me, I only have clothes.” I leant in closer “how about you can introduce us next week? Could grab dinner somewhere if you’re up to it?”

[Ashwag24]

I nodded. “I forgot about your brothers. Yeah that sounds good.” I was so stupid sometimes. “My brain doesn’t work all that well right now, I’m sorry.”

[melbender]

“It’s ok.” I laughed it off like it was nothing, but how could he forget I had so many brothers? “Anyway, we should sleep. I’ve got to be up early for breakfast. Then I’ll go home and talk to my parents about moving in.”

[Ashwag24]

I smiled. “You want me to go with you?” I kissed her head loving that she was always going to wake up with me.

[melbender]

“Hmm tempting, but I should do this alone incase someone flips out and goes crazy.” I bit my lip “how about you take your shirt off and get into bed with me though.”

[Ashwag24]

I smiled. “I can do that. One question though.” She eyed me and I smirked. “Do I keep my pants on or not?”
