The cold air whipped my cardigan behind me. I was stupid enough to not bring at least my scarf with me from the studio since I was well aware that it would be very cold tonight. But if a boy didn’t go nuts on us for no reason at all this wouldn’t be happening. What really got me was that he got up and just left the room, not telling us where or why he even left. He was like this all week and I couldn’t help but feel responsible, hell I knew I was responsible. He was like a brother to be all the time before since we met and now he didn’t even want to breath the same air as me. I think he finally got sick with protecting me. He didn’t want to waste his time anymore with trying to make sure an arrogant little girl would stay alive. I didn’t blame him but he shouldn’t feel obligated anymore and I needed to tell him that.

I turned the corner to an empty street as I heard things being thrown around in an alley. Muffled screams where coming from the area and it began to pull me to the site to see if it was him. Everything in my body was yelling at me to just turn around and keep it on the safe side but something knew it was him in there.

The screams began to quiet down greatly as the growls got louder as I made my way to the edge of the alley. I looked in seeing a limp body laying on the ground with blood streaming out of its shoulder. Hovering over it was a crouched body that wore dark mangled clothing, the size of a human but what made my step back was the sight of its clawed hands completely covered in blood. Its head slowly turned to looked out at me making me wish it didn’t for it only confirmed my fears. I stepped forward as he stood up, I wasn’t as scared seeing him in his human form but as the light hit his face I could hear his breath get louder, the growls quietly escaping  with each exhale. I saw his eyes, all the skin around it were pulsing red, his under eyes dark clearly showing he hasn’t cared about sleep. His mouth was still covered in the blood and his teeth showed, not human. He was in a semi-wolf form and I knew it wasn’t good. He got closer, a growl rumbling in his throat as he looked into my eyes. I opened my mouth to say something only to be shoved against the wall my head banging against the concrete with a force like no other. I heard the crack not sure if it was my skull or the concrete until I felt the area to get warm but my mind was on other things. I could feel his hot breath on me as he nails dug past the fabric of my sleeves and right into the flesh. I wouldn’t let the pain distract me as I stared right into his dark brown eyes. I noticed how the weak street light brought out the amber and green in the irises. I could stare at them all day forgetting the fact that they were in the beast that was trying to kill me.

“You.” He said, his voice lower, rougher than normal filled with pain. I couldn’t help but feel for him when I heard the word. He was in his own hell, I knew what it was like but I never thought he would until I had to look past the fact that not everyone is perfect.

“Baek…” I whispered before he shoved me again against the wall only making another crack. The pain surged through my head this time but I wouldn’t let it stop from me starring the boy down.

“You. You !” He yelled now the pain clearer in his voice than ever. I could feel the tears hit my cheek now, but they weren’t just mine. His eyes were now filled with them as he looked down at me.

“Why.” I gasped as his grip got tighter.

“I have wasted so much of my time! My life has been wasted on a stupid ! You won’t even look at me! Why should I protect you or even care for you if you won’t even look at me!” He screamed not once blinking. I wouldn’t break eye contact no matter how much I wanted to look away from his eyes. I calmed my body down as he spoke making it that I was no longer tense under his clasp. His eyes widened as I moved my hands up and placed them on each side of his face with his claws still deep in my upper arms.

“I see you now.” I said before slamming my lips onto his letting our tears mix with the passion. It wasn’t the same as Kai’s kisses but he needed it. I needed my best friend to be in peace, to not feel more pain in his life than it already held.

His grip soon loosened from my arms only to be replaced by my face. I could feel his soft, human hands lay on my cheeks, thumbs rubbing against the skin as he moved us right against the wall his body impressing mine to the solid. He moved his head closer to mine only to have it hit the wall again, the cracking sound  running through my ears as my body went limp in his arms everything going black in an instant .
