{Chapter 11. Caretaker}

{Owens POV}

i sat there for what felt like ages until scott woke up, i took notice of the blood staining his cloths, hands, face and mouth.
i knew this would happen again i knew it!!

"..scott.. i told you you shouldve stayed home.." i mumbled, concerned and helping him sit up
"im fine owen.. i-it- i- ..i dunno.." scott mumbled, he didnt know what to say, i didnt know what was happening and it was clear he didnt either.
"scott i- your not fine.. this isnt a normal thing you should just brush off.." i mumbled, getting up and grabbing him a glass of water, which i handed to him
"..im sure ill be fine and- and this will blow over.." scott muttered, he took a sip of the water and just sat there, leaning against the cabinet in his blood stained clothing
"what do you mean this will 'BLOW OVER'!? SCOTT I- THI- YOUR- YOUR LOSING BLOOD-!! AND FLOWER PETALS. FLOWER PETALS!!! THIS. ISNT. NORMAL." i pleaded, i just wanted him to listen, and take care of himself for once
"ill be fine. i-im just gonna go feed crow an-" i interrupted him mid sentence by covering his blood stained mouth
"no. no your not!! your going to bed. now." i ordered and stood up, offering my hand to help him stand
"..fine.." he mumbled quietly and took my hand, also griping onto the counter, using both my hand and the counter to help him stand, though the second he was on his feet he stumbled into me, luckily i was there and held still, keeping him upright
"..you okay.?" i mumbled, looking at him with concerned eyes 
"..i-i-..im fine.." he mumbled, and stood himself up straighter.
ide helped guide him up to his little loft, and sat him down on his bed, in which he sat there, fidgeting with his fingers.

{Scott's POV}

i sat on my bed, i felt dead.
genuinely dead.
and he grabbed my wrist, taking off all my bracelets, and helped me take out my earrings and piercings.
he placed cloths beside me on my bed and unzipped my boots, sliding them off of me, he grabbed my shoulders and gently slid off my jacket
i was shaky and glanced down at the cloths on my bed, a black t-shirt and brown sweatpants

"..th-thanks.." i mumbled, and he nodded, giving me a sweet smile and heading downstairs/sliding down the ladder

i grabbed the cloths and changed into them before walking over to my bed, and just sat there for a minute
just me and my thoughts.

ide known about this stupid disease for a long time.

why did i never say anything?

why did i never make an assumption.

is it jimmy?

probably..

my one and only true love. 

who just left in the flap of a scale in the midst of a coral reef.

he just.. gave up.

for him.

for my opposite

never knew anyone could go from ice to fire so fast..

crazy how life works out..

do i tell them?

do i keep this to myself still?

what do i do?!

why me!?

why do i do this to myself?

what will owen think when i tell him i knew..?

what if it goes to far..

what if i die?

maybe jimmy will like that better..

than dealing with me and tango.

heh.

what would everyone think of me?

just their terminally ill friend.

with a stupid disease.

knowing ive been dying every day for weeks.

but i didnt speak a word.

im just..

"YOUR JUST A STUPID STUBBORN EL- SIREN!? MONSTER!? YOUR JUST A STUPID STUBBORN MONSTER THATS WHAT YOU ARE!! NOW GO BACK TO MARTYN!! GO, JUST GO!! GO BACK TO MARTYN OR CLEO!! NOT. ME. IM WITH TANGO NOW, AND IVE FOUND MY PEOPLE NOW SHUT UP AND LEAVE!!!" Jimmy screamed at me, his feathers puffed up on his wings, neck and arms.
"o-okays..!! u-uhm.. i- i love you!" i spoke, still keeping a smile, i couldnt show weakness.

"im going to give you 30 seconds to run. and never come back.. before i- well before i hunt you down." jimmy threatened and glared at me
"..say love you back.." i muttered

"30 seconds." he demanded. and i ran off.

a stupid monster..

he probably still thinks that of me now huh.. 

my thoughts were cut off by me falling asleep
and i laid there now lifeless and sleeping on my bed

{Owens POV}

i went back upstairs and saw him asleep
i smiled softly and pulled the comforter up over him
giving his sleeping body a small smile before going back downstairs and shutting off all the lights.
allowing him to sleep in peace.
