Frantic knocks at the front door woke me at about 3am. My body shot up in alertness, my eyes snapping open quickly. A loud crash of thunder roared from outside and heavy rain was beating down on my window angrily. More frantic knocks rang through my house and I looked to the side to see Tao sleeping peacefully. Who the hell could be knocking at this time? More knocks erupted and I slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Tao and walked quickly to the door. Opening the door, a soaked, trembling and dark eyed Luhan. I wordlessly grabbed his arm, dragged him in and took him to the bathroom where I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around him. He was motionless. Wordless. Somethings deathly wrong.
Cautiously, I start to dry him with the towel. I pulled him a little closer to me while I dried his hair, until I heard him sniffling. "Luhan?" I tried to keep my voice calm. "Sh-she's really si-sick." His voice was so fragile and broken. I pushed the towel back a bit to see his face. His face was flushed, his eyes were red and his bottom lip was abused from his habit of biting it whenever he was upset. "I-I don't kn-know how to help h-er Kris." His lip trembling softly. I could see him fighting his tears. I pull him into my arms and no seconds later, he breaks down and cries hard into my chest, soaking the front of my shirt with tears. "I can't help her! S-she's all I have!" His legs give way and I catch him, then slowly sink to the floor with him, still holding onto him.
I rub his back in small circle
