--= Preston's + POV =--

With the amount of force my legs were using to pound my feet into the ground as I ran I'm surprised my bones didn't shatter on impact. It's disgusting. Everything I do is entirely disgusting.

All that I am, a mutated form of who I used to be, a monster, a child with no place left to call home. No friends, no future, just a husk that will soon fade away forever from this wretched place.

I have to help the world, so I will by ridding myself from what I used to call home. Killed a man then shoved him into my own closet for months, he probably found it by now. That handsome man...

Such sad eyes, he must have gone through so much. Lightning struck my body, and the staggering pain filled storm from the inside faded as soon as it was there. Ghostly, yet I could still feel the faded agony from mere seconds ago.

It disrupted me from my thoughts, and made me focus on more important matters. Glancing down I noticed the substance almost move in a way that looked like......Throbbing?

Eyebrows arches, I raised my arms into better lighting and closer to my eyes, but grimaced once I got a better look at them. Disgusting, but I must examine them anyways.

They seemed normal enough, by normal I mean the same way they were when the incident happened. The skin and scarring of tissue made it seem like some deadly disease that could kill me.

It might as well be, it's screwing with the control over my hopes and emotions. If I spent more time on this Earth, another person might die because of the situation I pulled them into.

My feet slowed themselves to a stop, the thoughts floated away into a silence until only one specific line remained, a question I couldn't answer all on my own.

How many people were hurt because of me.....?

A lot.

A lot for certain. I hurt Ty's feelings when I was being over protective about Sky, I murdered a Doctor out of rage and revenge, this one probably hurts the most for the most obvious reasons.

He probably had a family, a wife and some children, and yet I killed him regardless. I definitely did a lot more than hurt them, I scarred them, ruined some even. Friends of mine, family members, Sky....

He hardly knows what's going on half of the time because nobody wants to drag such a nice man into such a horrid scenario, I bet he doesn't even know I'm gone yet. Ty's probably trying to convince him.

"If you plan to have a moment of enlightenment, I suggest not doing it out in plain sight when people are out on the look for you."

"I thought it was clear about what I said and what's going to happen." His movements caused him to pace around me in a circle, as his footsteps crunched against the gravel trail of the park and in mere moments sad eyes looked at me, attached to the handsome mans face.

"I know this is a very rude thing to do, but it seems I have forgotten your name if you even told me it in the bedroom." He grinned at me, and it almost made me laugh how my heart fluttered when he did so.

"It's Rob."

"My apologies."

"None needed." Rob had nodded, and remained patiently silent waiting for me to answer. My head drifting to the side, a sigh slipped from my lips and my eyes closed before I responded.

"Rob, do you not want me to find peace?" When I looked at him, his smile had fallen into a grim line, as he spoke encouraging words he believed were truthful.

"I do, to the moon and back believe me, but I feel like you are looking in a dark, dangerous and wrong path searching for piece."

"Then where should I be looking? I have no place left to go. I'm completely doomed even if I don't end up finishing the job myself, this thing or someone else will do it for me. I have no one left."

Tears spilled off my eyelids and down my face trickling off my chin and the rest of the bottom half of my face and onto the floor leaving only their stains which would dry and fade.

I just couldn't keep it in anymore, I shoved the fact so far away from me I didn't even realise until now, why, why did Rob manage to comfort me even though my own world is collapsing.

I just don't understand.....

My sobs were the only thing to be heard, and before I was swallowed whole by my negative thoughts a hand enveloped itself around my own, hideous limb and squeezed lightly.

Peeking up through blurred vision my eyes met yet again with Rob's, except they seemed more sincere and caring then they were a few moments ago, not as sad as they were before.

"You have me. As long as you answer some questions, and stay truthful... I promise to show you the peace you need." His hand reached out for mine, and after two seconds, 

a puff of air which wheezed like laughter escaped my mouth and I joined our hands together making us complete. With one last tear sliding off my face, I blinked and it was gone. My lips pulling upwards into a heavy smile.

"Sure, what else do I have to lose?" Rob's expression lit up at the statement, surprised that I had complied and happy that I accepted. His eyes closing in joy, he cheered me on.

"Thatta boy."
