Lover's POV:

I froze. "I- uh, what?"

"What happened to your arm?!" Jaxon continued, taking a step forwards as Rep trailed behind him.

"Lov, what's he talking about?" She asked.

"I-I don't know..." I lied, acting confused. "What do you mean?" I continued.

Jaxon sighed, his footsteps trailing closer to me until he loomed above me. "Your arm." He said firmly, reaching for it.

I pulled it back, gulping. "Um, nothing. It's normal," I lied.

"No, I saw something—" he started, reaching for my arm again.

I backup up uncomfortably until I was back against the closet wall. "Stop— Jax, stop," I continued, tugging my arm away.

"Dude, what's going on?" Rep asked J, confused.

"Help me— get her sleeve up," he continued as he moved forward.

"Stop! Jaxon— why-" I pleaded, trying to scramble away from their joint efforts.

And then, everything stopped. Jaxon had pulled my sleeve up.

Shit.

"Holy... what the fu..." Jaxon murmured, staring in shock.

I glanced over at Rep, who had a mix of shock, heartbreak, and confusion blossomed on her features.

I tried one more time to pull my arm back, which was a lost cause with Jaxon's grip.

I swallowed, curling further into myself and tucking my head in my knees.

"Lover... Jesus Christ, baby..." Rep forced out, shoving Jaxon aside and kneeling down next to me to get a closer look.

"I... it's fine..." I mumbled out, pushing my head further in my knees.

"Sunshine, no... that's not... okay, um, J, can... first aid..." Rep stammered out in disbelief.

Jaxon walked out of the room, very quickly, and returned through the doorway a few seconds later, clutching a box in his hand. He threw it at Rep who caught it and opened it.

"Okay, um, this is gonna hurt a bit, okay?" Rep started, her voice soft.

I gave a nod into my knees, biting my lip a little as the sting from what I assumed was antiseptic rang out.

Around 10 minutes later, Rep finished cleaning me up, and put the kit aside. She released my arm so I took that as an opportunity to pull it back towards me and curl up into a tighter ball.

"Jaxon, can you leave for a sec?" Rep murmured to the taller boy. I soon heard the door click shut.

I felt the indent in the mattress next to me. Rep didn't try to talk to me, she didn't try to force anything out of me. She just sat there, in case I needed her.

And I did.

I let out a little whine, and that alone was enough for her to get the memo and pull me into her lap.

I uncurled from the ball, tightening my arms around her neck and digging my head into the crook of it.

"I'm sorry..." I said in a whisper.

"You don't need to be." Rep replied quickly, wrapping her arms around my waist, one of her arms going up to my head to play with my hair.

I sighed, biting my lip to hold back tears.
