Chapter 21 - Scars outside don't bother me (2)

It was black for a long time, but the pain was always there. I've dreamed of being locked into a room the whole time, but it didn't scare me. I felt emotionless. The things that happened just because I've come here. Suddenly I felt the pain in my chest again. I grabbed my chest in my dream tightly and screamed 'Just kill me already!' Then I woke up. I looked around and nobody was in the room I was. I remembered this place.. it belongs to RuRi. After a minute Ruri entered the room

"Why did you scream that?!" she asked me surprised. Her hair was a mess and it looked like she just woke up, it was night time too.

"Sorry for screaming- ouch" I looked at my arm. They wrapped my arm into bandage and Ruri looked at me. She rubbed her eyes and looked at my arm. "You've slept for two days, You don't know how much everyone worries about you and now you are saying these words?" she said it in an annoyed tone. She took away the old bandage and wrapped a new bandage around my arm. My arm looked messed up. "Well.. you see all these strange things started since I came.."

I looked away sad and Ruri starred at me annoyed

"That is not true, Sky. Everyone at this place became happier and active since you came. You always make yourself suffering more than it should be, Sky you are awesome."

I looked at Ruri and she smiled at me. My tears came again and ran down my cheeks. She came closer to me and hugged me. "It's okay. I'll be your new mom here since you always suffer alone. I am here Sky" I hugged her tightly back. She smelled like flowers and she was really warm.

She placed me back in my bed again and gave me a syringe in my arm. "You should rest a little more, if you get better you can go up tomorrow"

She pated me forehead and left the room, but I couldn't sleep. The pain was gone thanks to the syringe, but it'll not last long until the pain comes back. "Elux.." I said

Suddenly someone opened the door and I looked at the door. Elux. My face became red and I started to cry. I reached out my arm and pointed Elux. He came closer to me and hugged me tightly. He placed his hand on my neck and my waist. My tears didn't stop, I felt like I didn't see Elux for years. Having him here in my arms is the best thing that ever could happen to me right now...

"Sky... why did you protect me there.. you suffer now just because of me.." did Elux whisper

"Elux, I am your protector. I'll always protect you. Scars outside don't bother me after all"

He grabbed my injured arm and looked straight into my eyes. "Elux that hurts..." my face flushed

"You let me wait so long... now you got at least take that pain" he whispered in a playful tone

Elux came closer to my face and kissed my lips gently. After that happened with Yuki...

When he let go of my lips he looked into my eyes again, less than a few inches away from my face.

"W-Where is Yuki..?" "He's in a prison cell for a week... I am so sorry for what he did.."

I smiled at him and whispered 'It is okay'

He hugged me one more time, but he didn't let go. "I haven't slept since he stabbed you.."

Then he fell asleep next to me in the bed while he hugged me. My face became all red and I tried to escape because it was too embarrassing, but he held me too tight. "Geez Elux..." I smiled and played with his hair in his face. Suddenly he took my hand and held it tight. "Don't.. leave.."

I smiled at Elux and lied down. He was so close... but I felt better when I sleep next to him. I ended up hugging him back. "I will not leave, Elux"
