Carmelo x Rudy: make it go away..part 1

//This takes place on Halloween when Carmelo takes Rudy to his house//

Carmelos POV:

I was down stairs panicking as I tried to call Francis, but that asshole wouldn't pick up! I soon give up after my 6th try.

"Okay okay just calm down! It's no biggie, he just needs to clear up and go home," I said to myself ruffling my hair in anger and panic. I then tense when I heard a "creak" from footsteps on the stairs, it was Rudy and he looked...so-
"OH uh...h-hey man! How you feeling?Any better?good?" I asked relaxing my shoulders a bit. "I'll just be going home now, okay?" "I'm sure you don't want me here, right?" He spoke obviously drained and not very happy.
I get up to my feet and started to walk over to the couch, "y-you know what, you look exhausted so why don't you sit here and rest a-" I was cut off by Rudy making me tense up,
"why are you being nice to me?"
I look to the side my face heating up, "I dunno, y-you looked like you really needed help, so..." "I mean, I'm no monster."

"Pfft-"

I shivered at the sound of his laugh but listened when he continued to speak, "No, that's right.." "because monsters hurt other to make them selves feel better...."
I gulped down my fear as I heard his words..,
"Y-yeah...I...I guess so.."

Rudy's POV:
He seemed to sweat and explained how he didn't want me dead... it was sweet.. he offered to call the police but I shock my head explaining that I didn't want to do that and how I appreciated his kindness which only made his face go red....and for a second...I forgot about it all....Tobias...my pain...the world...Carmelo was completely different from before and I didn't know how..he went into the kitchen to get me some water which I decided to take his offer to rest. I grab the blanket and laid down on the couch.. the shirt he had given me smelt like a cheap Cologne but it wasn't very noticeable, I wrap myself in the blanket he gave me and waited there until he came back with the water which I didn't drink,

"Do you remember when you talk to me in the hallway at school? and you told me you didn't want me to want to die the first time..you didn't finish. Why don't you want me to die? I thought you hated me..," the words fell out my mouth like a rock being dropped on a sidewalk...unexpected and out of not where..

"Because...because I care." That was his response...that's all he said to me.. "but why? Why do you care now and not when it mattered? You don't know how bad I needed someone Carmelo..we could have been friends.. I hoped we could."

"It's complicated, okay? I don't even know myself..," and that's all he said he said before I started to break down into sobs... his phone got a call and he said a few brief reassuring words before leaving to answer it...I closed my eyes letting out a few quiet sobs..

Carmelos POV:

I soon got down with the call and went back to check on Rudy- he was fast asleep on the couch..I sat down on the floor against the couch and looked over at Rudy, I glance at his hand and for a brief moment my hand moved up to his hand and slipped under it.. my hand wrapped around his and gently squeezed..
