Falling from earth

They rolled her out on a gurney with me sitting in the hallway in a ball as they rolled her in to the ambulance. The police tried to ask me questions but my neighbor stoped them and answered what he could for me. He came over and sat next to me pulling me close

" everything is going to be ok son" he said

He held me tight for a little before he let me go and went over to his girlfriend and talked to her.

I didn't know what to do I didn't know the rest of my family mom never talked about them as far as I knew I didn't have any other family. I was scared out of my mind what was wrong with mom was she working herself that hard maybe she just needed a break. That must be it she has been working midnights and noon shifts while I was school so she's probably suffering from exhaustion. Sigh all I can do is be positive right now she Dosent need me to freak out and come home to her crying son.

My neighbor walked over and offered me a hand

" me and my wife decided you needed a good meal so we would like it if you came over and stayed with us until we know you've eaten and your ok" he said with worry in his face

" I shouldn't impose..." I said

" now you look at me your coming over and thats final"

finishing his sentence with a glare that quickly turned to a smile. He looked at his wife nodding while helping me up and leading me to his apartment. As we walked in I could tell they loved art it was everywhere they had sculptures and painting lining every wall it was magnificent.

His wife stoped in the kitchen and looked at me

" ok so I can make virtually anything I just went shopping so what's your favorite thing to eat" she said with curiosity

" umm I like spaghetti"

"But you can make whatever you guys were gonna do for dinner" blushing as I saw her laugh

"Boy if you like spaghetti then your getting the best damm spaghetti you've ever had hahaha"

She said looking a little frightening

" don't mind her dude she loves cooking so much I'm surprised she able to stay that size at all" he laughed

" she'll cook come over here and sit please"

I obliged and sat across from him at the table looking at the ground why were they being so nice they don't know me or mom so why?

" my names Dave and that things name is Kate"

"...it's nice to meet both of you.." I smile sheepishly

" I know your worried my friend but driving yourself insane isn't going to help your mom none ok?" He said

" *sigh* ok and my name is Aristotle" I say

"Its nice to meet you Aristotle" he and his wife both said and they laughed

I've claimed down a bit and took notice of a couple of things they both looked a Little Rockish they both were wearing some sort of black and both had some piercing in a couple of places Dave with his eyebrow and ears and Kate had he nose and the top of her ear. They both looked cool I blushed a little for thinking that. Dave had a calming look he had blonde hair kinda a mess but it was short enough for it to look ok and he was a bit taller then me and looked ripped under his clothes. While Kate was different she had black hair and looked the same height if not shorter then me she was skinny so much I was a little worried honestly. They looked so peaceful together it made me smile a little. Just then Kate called to both of us that dinner was done.

"Now we're not religious so if you'd like we can say grace if that's what you'd like" Kate said

"No it's ok me and mom aren't either" I said

"And before we eat I just wanna say thank you for giving me dinner and making sure I'm ok I really appreciate it" I said blushing deep red

"This boy sounds like an adult honey your a kid in need of help god strike down the poor fool who wouldn't help a kid out with a simple meal" Kate says as she stuffs about a pound of spaghetti in her mouth

"Kate's right you know this is no trouble at all it's just food ha" Dave said

" I was really hoping you wouldn't freak out the boy by eating three times your body mass hun" he said as he looked at Kate

"So I'm suposed to starve cause your embarrassed? I don't think so" she said and continued to eat

Dave sighed and gave a smile to me then stated eating for himself. I took my fork and began to eat it was marvelous. I must've been smiling when I ate cause they both laughed a little then going back to eating.

I ate very little like I was used to I already was intruding in there home I didn't need to be greedy. Kate looked at me and asked

"That all you can eat?"

I replied "that's how much I usually eat money's tight right now so my stomach Dosent hold much"

"Well your taking the rest of this home and finishing it" she said with a smile

"Really it's ok you made this" trying to sound like I didn't want it (it was so good I almost took it)

"Your taking it and that's final besides if you don't take it it won't be eaten we hate left overs ha" Kate said

"You guys have been so kind thank you"

I was tearing at this point they've been so kind to me there such nice people I sobbed a little and said thank you at least twenty times

"Sweaty it's ok it felt amazing helping you out now you need to get some rest it's almost 11:30 and you have school don't you?" Kate said smiling

"Thank you guys so much" I said

"Anytime dude ha I'll walk you over and your free to come over when ever you want ok?"

"Thank you Dave if I need to I will" saying goodnight to both of them I went back to my apartment only to see someone standing in front of it....

I approached my door cautiously to see the figure was huge I was scared but managed a "hello"

The man suddenly looked up apparently sleeping and his eyes went wide and I instantly knew who it was it was Leo whats he doing here?

"Ari oh my fucking god I was looking everywhere for you mom called and told me your mom was in the hospital but they couldn't find you where have you been dude! You had me worried sick I can't believe you!" Leo said more mad then I've ever seen him in.

"You know I don't care come here"

Leo said as he rammed into me hugging me close and squeezing me till I thought I might die

"I'm sorry I was at my neighbors they were looking after me making sure I had food I'm sorry Leo I didn't mean to worry you" I said looking into his chest he smelt like sweat (did he run here??)

"How did your mom know she was in the hospital?" I said

" she's the head docter at the local hospital and when she heard your name she knew it from when I would mention you at home so I ran over to find you and waited here" Leo said

" you talk about me?" I was blushing hard and I knew he saw it

" yea mom loves hearing about my friends ha"Leo said

Well that's not helping me lose my blush urg

"Are you ok ari I've been so worried"he said

"Yea I'm doing better I'm still worried as hell about mom" right then it all came back mom being in the hospital and me being nothing not being able to do anything I shook. Violently. I fell in a heap on the floor and I was gone

"Ari!" Leo yelled from what I could tell Leo was holding me

(Ari is passed out his mind shut down so this is Leos pov)

Ari is in my arms out like a light he's breathing but I'm worried. I pick him up and try his door thankfully it's unlocked and carry him inside. I'm so worried he's got to be ok he doesn't deserve this at all. I found his room and set him down in his bed taking his pants off so he could be comfortable trying not to look to much not wanting a homer rn. I sat next to him as I pull out my phone and text mom "im with him now he passed out is it ok if I stay here with him I wanna make sure he's ok"

A text comes almost immediately

"Yes of course I'll let you know what's going on with his mom as soon as I can if need be and your not home tomorrow I'm calling the school and telling them that you both are sick since his family care provider is from this hospital I'll make sure he has a note.

P.s. Make sure that boy is ok Ik how much he means to you "

I blush a little and say a thank you before putting my phone down I look over to ari and see he's moving but his eyes are closed he gets up and completely ignore me eyes still shut he goes to the bathroom. I didn't know what was going on so I fallowed him in as he took his shirt off I blushed hard before I could look back I heard him grab somthing I look back at him and see he has a broken razor blade WTF?!? He moves it to his chest and before I could move cuts a small deep x into it I tackle him as quick as I could and the screaming began

"Your worthless your killing your mother you'd be better off dead" his voice didn't even sound like his anymore is was deep and pained

The last thing he said before drifting off was

"Leo will never love something like you"

My arms tightened and I cried as I held him

"That's not true ari..please"

I carried him back to his bed and set him down he grabbed me

"Please don't leave me not again please don't leave me alone anymore mommy"

He was crying in his sleep I got in bed and layed him on top of me his head on my chest and he seemed to calm down and sleep peacefully at least he could get some rest and not be freaked out in the morning sigh...

Taking my chance I kissed his forehead

"There's always a sun to rise and a moon to set but both are beautiful when looked at by someone worthy"

"And your worthy"

He shifted and whispered something so low I almost missed it

"Leo is so hot"

I blushed beat red as I noticed he had a hardon and mine quickly came to man this isn't fair.

I went to get up and lay him back on the bed taking care to not wake him. Although I was very curious about what he was dreaming about haha. I left the room and explored his small apartment. Yes his apartment was small but it felt a lot bigger it was nice and neat everything looked like it had been freshly bought nothing I touched had any dust on it and it smelt like freshly cut pineapple it smelled delicious. The apartment looked to be two bedroom and on bath small living room with a couch and love seat chocolate brown I mad my way to the kitchen to find an assortment of cooking wear all looking pretty old and worn but all of it was nice stuff just old I opened the fridge to find most of what was in here was Tupperware labeled work or dinner and some vegetables. I opened the cabinets next to find the same empty Tupperware and some cans of soup I felt bad for them was there situation really that bad now that I think of it ari has always been skinny even with his muscles he was small maybe he had to go without eating for a while to save money the thought pissed me off and made me worry about him. I went to check on him and found him still sound alseep I take a seat next to him on his bed and pet his hair and sung a hummer for him it had always made me feel better so I figured no harm soon I fell asleep with his head in my hand and I drifted away into sleep.

(Ari pov)

What's going on where am I? I remember I was headed home at night and saw Leo but that's it.  Oh fuck.  No. Wtf. I passed out I felt where my head hit the ground fucking dammit Leo probably ran and I'm at the hospital now fuck. I had a nightmare while I was asleep one of the many I've had but this one didn't last to long. It started out with me at the hospital with mom and I was looking after her when suddenly the the docter came in and pulled me aside I was scared what was wrong he looked pissed.

He spoke "we found what's wrong with your mother"

"What!?" I said

"Yes well it's you, you little cretin you have her do so much to make you happy it's killing her"

I was crying turning to run only to find my moms door was gone and so were all the others

"Where are you gonna go? back to her? Huh. You just don't care do you? your killing her it's all your fault and your gonna burden her even more with your presence you do nothing but poison those around you with your awful soul and damaged eyes. Even Leo knows it"

"Your wrong" I cried "stop!"

"He knows it Leo could never love someone like you " he said

All of a sudden he was gone everything was gone the world was moving and my chest hurt when I looked down I was bleeding what the hell was going on? I'm scared. "No oNe LOves you yOU DEmon in HuMan sKin"

The voice was back and louder the pain in my chest getting worse the blood turning a darker red the before then all of a sudden everything stops and I feel warm and a loving voice said

"That's not true ari please"

I felt at peace and the world around me was replaced with a field of the most beatiful flowers and Leo was in the middle of it sitting and smelling the flowers he was beautiful god dammit

"Leo is so hot" I sighed and felt myself relax.

I awoke to a dim room I felt heavy I knew it's because I haven't eaten for a little and the only thing I ate was last night.  I opened my eyes and see an arm feeling a hand on my head mom??!? I looked over and it was Leo. What was he doing here?!?! Oh. He must've carried me in last night when I fell ill need to thank him and apologize for scaring him. Looking down I see I'm in my underwear did Leo undress me ? I blushed hard he saw me naked almost and my scars what he must think of me now probably horrified he stired from sleep and looked at me and woke up fully as he spoke

"Hay are you ok? Why are you so hot?"

God his voice was so sexy in the morning dammit wanting to back away a little I inched back and didn't realize that I was on the edge of the bed. Falling off taking the blankets with me and some pillows. My room filled with laughter and he  poked his head over the bed  

And asked if I was ok. Quickly saying I was fine

"Why are you still here?"

"What do you mean i was worried about you you were out and I'm glad I was here your chest....."

Looking down I saw the bandage and knew what I did so some of my nightmare was true. I visibly shrunk on the ground he had to of seen the others what he must think of me now.

"I'm just glad your ok ari come here"

He got off the bed and picked me up( he barley tried either in that light or he is stronger then I thought probably both) he hugged me tight and looked me in the eye

"You wanna go grab somthing to eat my treat"

"I can't let you do that"

I felt bad and honestly wanted to be alone he had seen me cut myself and had stayed all night with me I couldn't owe him more

"Please ari" he smiled that smile when little kids want somthing and are trying to prove their a good boy I caved almost instantly

"*sigh* ok Leo"

"Good Ik a place not far in fact I work there they have excellent food" he said

I felt a bit nervous I've never been out to eat before me and mom have always cooked at home, at least when we could, so I didn't know what to expect and plus it was his work what would they think about me what if I didn't fit in what if people from school are their and he acts different.

"But first I need a shower I stink like a horse haha!"

"Is it ok if I use your shower ari"

"Oh yea that's fine I'll go get you a towel I don't think there's any clean ones in Their" I said

He walked off to the bathroom and I waited for my boner to go down from thinking about him naked and all wet in the shower. I grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom opening the door

"Hay Leo here's your tow......"

I stoped for I was met at the door with Leo bending down slightly to take off his underwear. He was now naked in front of me in his full glory and believe me it was full.

I dropped the towel

"I'm so sorry Leo please don't be mad I should've knocked I'm such an idiot"

And I ran to my room and crawled on bed waiting for him to either take his shower or bust in my room and beat me. In my head I still saw him naked it was wonderful if not a little Pervy.

(Leo pov)

"Dammit" I whispered

I forgot he was grabbing my towel for me and he saw me naked he's probably freaking out right now. Maybe he wants me to leave *sigh* he shouldn't be alone right now so I'll just pretend nothing's wrong and act like it's no big deal cause it isn't guys see me naked all the time whys it feel different when it was fun who saw me?

(Ari pov)

He came out of the shower after some time and I had already gotten dressed and put fresh band aides and gauze on some cuts that I didn't want him to see. He stopped and looked at me

"I'm so sorry Leo I promise I wasn't trying to look at you" I said

"Dude don't worry I should've remembered you were gonna come in with my towel thank you so don't worry ok?" He said

"*sigh* ok. So where are we going anyway where do you work at?"

"It's a little dinner by my house I'll show you it's a bit of a walk is that ok?"

"Yea I should be fine Leo"

We left the house taking note to lock the door as we left and began walking we walked in silence and I found myself glancing at Leo I've never spent this much time with him before let alone talk to him. The more I saw him the more little things I noticed his hair he had cut short on the sides and the top had a little poof it's was cute. He wore sunglasses outside to hide his eyes I wish he didn't his eyes are so lovely.

He was a little bit taller then me I came up to about his chin it was a bit harder to look at him without craning my neck and not being caught.

He was gorgeous god.

We talked a little about school and stuff that's when I remembered that today was the second day and I'm missing it shit

Leo explained that his mom had called the school and they were understanding and said it was alright I breathed out a sigh of relief as Leo spoke

"Alright were here!" He said

It looked awfully small but it was cute. We walked in the small light brown dinner and as we did we were greeted by various voices most of them towards Leo we were seated by a widow that looked out at the town it was a beautiful day mom would love it here maybe I'll get to take her here one day

"Yo Leo whys your bitch ass here!?"

"Ain't you in school boy?"

And and old couple came up to us one looked like the sweetest grandma ever the man however looked like he hits the gym every other minute

"Yea but mom called us off this is my friend Aristotle and his mom was sick so I'm looking after him" he smiled so brightly that I swore I saw a little flicker in his teeth that ding thing.

They turned to me and took my hands in theirs

"It's so nice to meet you kiddo "the women said

"Same here boy"said the man

"This here is Martha and stewert. There nice and they own the place"

"Awe your so sweet boy and it was nice to meet you Aristotle consider your meal payed for in cuteness hehe"

she smiled as she walked off

"That women is gonna make me go bankrupt. She's not wrong though ha"

Glancing at me and walking off

Leo laughed and thanked them for breakfast as did I while my face was beat red.

That was nice of them and there food looked amazing I ordered the eggs and a waffle and Leo got a steak and fries

We ate and talked a little more about school.

We finished eating and he walked me home and when we reached my apartment complex we stopped

"Thank you for today Leo it felt really good to get out and my first time at a restaurant to haha"

"It's ok ha I had a good time with you ari if you need anything you know where I'll be have a  good night tonight ok?"

"Will do!"

He pulled me in a hug

"Your not alone ari you have me always remember that"

"...y yes i will"

He waved as I went inside and layed down my bed smelled like him like he was still here. I was tired and wanted sleep. But just as I was about to close my eyes the phone rang.....
