Warning: Depression, Cutting, Blood, Angst
Disclaimer: I do not own DGM
Cross POV:
Tch, how long will that damn brat be sleeping for? It's already 11 in the morning.
Might as well wake him up. I walk into the bathroom first, to wash my face since I'm always god damned tired. I make my way up to the brat's room and knock on the door.
"Brat! Get up already. Just because I let you have a week off of school, does not mean you could slack around!" After another minute of yelling and knocking, I just decide to open the door.
"Wha-" I cut myself off, looking at Allen.
"Oh my fuc-" I run to his bed, "Allen, what the hell did you do!" I turn him over.
I see his arms, scratch marks all over with dried blood both on his arms and his bed.
"Oh no, no" I say to myself, trying not to panic. There is blood everywhere. The floor, the sheets, on Allen.
I quickly bring my phone out, one hand hovering uncertainly over Allen.
"Hello?" A deep voice says over the phone. "Bookman I need your help immediately." I hear a sigh
"Cross, now is not the time fo-" I cut him off "BOOKMAN!" I nearly scream. He shuts up knowing I'm actually serious.
"What is it?"
"It's Allen, he did it again, and you know I can't take him to a hospital. They will just make him do rehab and you know how he feels about it."
"I'll be over immediately." He hangs up the phone.
"Stupid brat, making me worry" I mutter to myself. I quickly run into the bathroom and get a bowl and washcloth, filling the bowl with cold water. I return to the bedroom and undress Allen.
I quickly wash off the dried blood and wrap his arms with bandages. His regular arm is far worse since its normal skin, however he managed to scratch his other arm is news to me.
Ding
Oh finally he's here. I run to the door and nearly slam it open. I see Bookman but why the hell is his brat here?!
"Before you ask I had no choice but to bring him, they have no school since something happened with their pipes. He wouldn't let me go unless he came, sorry." I just sighed and let them in.
Lavi POV:
I enter Allen's home, mostly understanding the situation. Bookman told me what happened on the way over, I really find it hard to believe Allen would do this to himself, but yet again we don't really know Allen that well, do we?
I follow after Bookman and Cross, and eventually end up in what I guess is Allen's room. As we enter, I have to stop myself from leaving. The room reeks of blood, and the colors of the bed sheets and part of the floor match it clearly.
Bookman and Cross are quietly chatting about something I'm most likely not supposed to hear, while tending to Allen.
My one visible eye seems to dim a little, seeing Allen like this.
Allen was mine and Lenalee's unspoken little brother. I hope he gets better.
I slowly back out of the room and go to the bathroom, hoping to find helpful first aid for Allen's arms. I search the cupboards, all the while thinking about how this could have happened.
One things for sure, I have a distinct yet powerful feeling Kanda is somehow involved with this.
He better be ready for a long talk...
Allen POV:
A sigh escapes my lips. I've been floating in this god forsaken darkness for who knows how long.
Sometimes it's as if I can hear voices but I'm probably just imagining it all. I continue to float around, waiting for something, for anything to help guide the way. Unfortunately my prayers are not answered and here I am, still floating.
Deciding not to do nothing, I start to think.
I'm hit with a sudden wave of sadness, threatening to take control of my body. I try to shake it away as much as I can and narrowly succeed.
I decide to forget all the memories of the sad and try to think of the happy. It doesn't surprise me that I only have one truly happy memory. It was meeting Mana.
Another sigh escapes my lips in a soundless puff of air. How much longer will I float?
Lenalee POV:
I wonder what happened?
We had no school today because of a pipe mishap, so I decided to go over to Lavi's house.
I was going to ask him if he wanted to go see Allen, but it seems no ones home. He hasn't even answered his phone. I look over at Allen's and Kanda's houses a yard away, should I go or no?
I mull over it for a bit and decide to head over to Kanda's house.
I want to go see Allen altogether. I'm over there in less than two minutes, ringing the doorbell.
I patiently wait outside until Kanda comes and opens the door. His usual scowl is etched on his face, purple bags under his eyes.
"Hey Kanda, do you mind if I come in for a bit?" Kanda sighs and opens the door more to let me in. Ever since we were little Kanda has had a bit off a soft spot for me. He said something about innocence, and my kindness, whatever that means.
I enter his house going over to sit on the couch, my shoes removed and my jacket hanging. Kanda follows soon after, sitting across from me on the other side of the couch.
"Is everything alright? You seem tired." I question him, searching his eyes to see if he's lying."Tch, I'm fine, just stressed." He looks away from me, signaling he doesn't want to talk about it. I sigh and decide to change the topic.
"Hey Kanda? Have you heard from Allen or Lavi today?" Something in his expression shifts, and he scowls more fiercely.
"No." He says. "Oh okay. I was just wondering because I haven't hear-" I was interrupted by someone knocking on the door very loudly.
I stand up to get it, and quickly open the door. Lavi stands on the other side, a panicked expression on his face. It makes the words in my throat hard to say because Lavi never has that kind of expression.
Kanda all of a sudden appears next to me and glares at Lavi. "What are you doing here?" He snarls. Lavi breathes in deeply before replying.
"It's Allen. He did something really bad and now he's..." Lavi stops, eye dulling. My heart turns cold.
"Lavi? What do you mean...?" Kanda seems to stiffen up a bit but nonetheless is quiet.
"He's... Guys, he's going to a hospital." Lavi says slowly. "WHAT?" I scream.
Kanda growls, "Tch, that stupid moyashi probably just hurt himself accidentally." Lavi glares at him. "No you IDIOT! He did hurt himself, but on purpose! He's not waking up!" Kanda's eyes widen before his face goes blank.
"Whatever, just get out."
"But Kanda..." I start, "No! Just please, go." He looks away and ushers us out the door.
He slams it shut and I turn to Lavi, tearing up. He quickly hugs me, and I bury my face in his chest.
"Lavi...I'm so confused." He looks at me sadly. "I know Lena, me too" Nothing more is said. We stand out there for what feels like hours, before going our separate ways. Allen...I hope you confide in us soon, or at least Kanda.
If one person can help...it's him.
Allen POV:
Is that a light? It looks like it's reaching towards me...
Maybe if I stretch my hand far enough I can reach it!
My arm raises slowly, and I reach for the light.
Next thing I know...
It consumes me.
OKayy... That was well, idk. I know my update is really late and I have no excuses.
In October, I will hopefully get a new laptop and update more often. Just don't get your hopes up too high...
Next chapter will be a little dark but mostly in the brighter area.
Definitely will be more KandaxAllen next chappie.
