Hidden Beneath the Scars [Completed]

Chapter 21

After the longest bath, I came into my room in my light pink robe, to find Kyle sitting on the bed. He had blood on his face and kuckles.

"Oh god. Oh my god." I knelt infront of him cupping his face. He didn't wince or yelp. He had a straight face, no sign of pain seen on his face.
"I couldn't go home looking like this. I didn't know where else to go to." He whispered. I got up and went downstairs looking for first aid. I found a box in the medicine cabinet, along with a bunch of aspirin bottles. As I pulled out the first aid box, something fell. Swiftly, I caught it. I checked the label, the only thing visible on it was Steven Wilson. The laben was ripped off the bottle. But somehow, I recognised the bottle. I felt like I had seen it before. Putting it inside the first aid box, I took a bottle of water and a couple of Aspirin for Kyle.

Kyle had injuries all over his body. As I cleaned the blood off his hand and face, I kept asking him to go to the hospital. Which he kept turning down. I had given him one of Steven's shirts to change into while I put his in the washing machine, as it was covered in blood.
"Uh, take the shirt off?" I asked, suddenly nervous. Kyle stared at me for and while before taking it off, not taking his eyes off me for a second. I couldn't help but notice how toned his muscles were. He had perfect abs on his stomach. Beatings all over his stomach. I looked up at him to find a pair of amused eyes. Shaking my head, I took the pain relieve gel and squeezed some on my fingers.
"Hold this" I handed him the gel as I applied it on his chest. I couldn't help but be impressed at how hard his chest was. Kyle stiffened at the first touch of my finger tips on his warm skin. I let my fingers linger on his chest a little longer than neccessary.

"Sorry" I mumbled as I took the gel from him and put it back in the first aid box.
"Its okay" he said and laid on the middle of my bed.
"Where am I gonna sleep when you are taking up all my space?" I asked putting my hands on my hips.
"We can stay up." Kyle said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Come on" I said smiling.
"You can make me" he smirked. I couldn't help but blush at his statement.
"You are such a cutie" he laughed.
"And you're a big pervert" I said sitting on the bed with one leg on the floor."A pervert that you are dating." He said sitting up. His face was so close to mine, I could feel his hot breath. He stayed like that for a few seconds and then closed the distance between us and kissed me. After a magical few minutes, he pulled away looking like he didn't really want to either.
"Can't let the little guy get too excited, right?" He asked smirking.
"Kyle?"
"Yes Wilson?" He asked, breathing still a little faster than usual.

"What happened?" I asked him, not sure if he'd answer me. He remained silent for a few minutes and then let out a big sigh.
"Its my job." He replied. After waiting for him to elaborate, I realized that was all he was gonna say. "Maybe I'll take you there one day. If you want?" I nodded my head giving him a weak smile.
"I'd like that"

I woke up with the sound of knocking on my door. I took my phone to see that I had around 20 minutes to get ready for my session with Dr.Cranfield. Kyle and I stayed up most of the night, talking about each other. I had forgotten to put the alarms on. Saying that I was up, I ran into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I wore the first thing I could find in my closet, which happened to be a black, shoulder-off, sweater dress. It was a gift from jessica. According to her, the more exposed the neck is, the sexier men find you. Which I didn't quite believe. The dress not suiting me playing a huge role in my disagreement with her. Wearing knee high grey boots I tied my hair in a pony tail. Kyle still hadn't woken up. He looked so peaceful. I was almost out of the door when I remembered the meds I put in the first aid box. I hurried back inside and put the bottle in my bag before running out towards the front door.
"Food first" steven said handing me a cheese sandwich and a cup of coffee.
"Thanks" I said with a chunk of food in my mouth, as we made our way towards Steven's car.
"Hey. Can you give Kyle a couple of Aspirin and a cup of coffee when he wakes up? Don't let him go anywhere okay? Keep him in bed" I got out of the car. "I'll get Nathan to take me to school. You look after kyle. He isn't very well right now."
Steven nodded. The best thing about my brother was, he doesn't ask useless questions, as long as it doesn't concern my safety.

Dr.Cranfield had been trying to make me talk about my mothers death ever since I had mentioned it earlier. Which I didn't really know how to answer to, because he keeps asking me to tell him how I feel about my mother's death. And honestly, I didn't know how I felt. After a lot of failed attempts, we talked about Kyle. Which I loved to do. Dr.Cranfield kept taking notes on his yellow note pad. He asked me how I was these days,to which I replied 'happy' surprising even myself. Dr.Cranfield told me that it was good that I was happy. Although he wants me to open up before pushing everything back. He thinks that I was bottling all my feelings up, which would burst up one day. Although I highly doubted it.

I got out of the office, not even a second later than my session was timed. After debating with myself for quite some time, I called Nathan for a lift. Which he agreed to a little too enthusiastically. I gave him a location a few minutes away from the office. By the time I reached the point, he was already there. We drove in silence for a while, until he hit the brakes suddenly.
"Look Izz. I am tired of you being mad at me okay. I didn't try to talk to you because I thought you hate me. If it wasn't for me, you would never have had to see Ashton so often. And he's my bestfriend. You can't hate Nora because she has whatever she has with your brother. And then I find out from my sister that you don't hate me. And then I felt worse because I could have been there. I am ashamed Izz. I am ashamed of myself for being such a jerk. And I am ashamed of my bestfriend because he is such a dick. But he's my bestfriend Izz. I can't leave him either. He has always been there for me. Through so much. He always has my back. Still does. He is a dick, but I can't exactly stay mad at him either." Nathan said out in like one breath, if that was even possible.
"My feud isn't with you Nate. Just because Ashton and I aren't friends doesn't mean you have to choose between us." I replied."Besides, he has my back too. When he's pushing me" I joked, trying to lighten the mood.
"And for the record i didn't judge you. Most of those pictures were really hot" he smirked. Great. The real Nathan was coming back.

"So I hear you and Kyle Handerson are a thing" Nathan said.
"I guess." I replied.
"That bad?" Nathan asked shocked. "Well not such a surprise. The last person he was with, it was back in middle school. They broke up early freshmen year"
"No its not that. He's great. We're just dating" I laughed at his assumption.
"And that is disappointing why?" He asked.
"Its not" I replied.
"You love him?"
"Its too soon for that Isn't it?"
"Well I hear it doesn't matter how soon or late it is when you fall in love" Nathan replied. "Besides, maybe you haven't been dating long. But you guys have been hanging out for a long time right?" Nathan asked.
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"we see him near your place.  And you guys together" He said with a shrug. "The guy is crazy about you"
