I'm not broken, so don't fix me

Dedicated to Dark_Raccoon25 you're amazing idea and your help with the chapters. This is all for you!!!

"You know that moment when you find out you're dating a cheater?" Awsten asked as he was slumped against the sofa. The blonde and Jet had taken up the whole sofa and he couldn't be bothered to move.

Ciara hummed, refusing to avert her gaze from the tv screen.

Awsten sighed and tried again. "I said, you know that moment when you find out you're dating a cheater?"

"Yes, I heard you." She replied, not moving from her position. Awsten turned so he was facing her.

"Why are you still here then?"

"What?"

"Do I have to repeat myself every time I say something or can you get this through your thick skull? You fucking cheated so I don't know why you're still here. Get out!" It took every fibre of his being not to grab her by her hair, slap the shit out of her and throw her out the door.

He stood up and walked over towards the door only to turn around and pace back. Ciara mimicked his actions, standing face to face with him.

"I didn't cheat! I haven't done anything! Awsie wh-"

"Don't call me Awsie." He snarled. "Yes you did cheat, I have proof." Awsten picked up his phone, unlocked it and went into his and Otto's messages.

Without emotion, Awsten held the phone up to her face. Ciara paled. The photo Otto sent clearly showed her eating another mans face.

"Th..that's n..not me." She stuttered. Awsten rolled his eyes and threw his phone down next to Jet. The cat lifted her head, yawned and promptly fell asleep again.

A bubble of laughter escaped Awsten's lips. "That's not you? That's not you! Are you fucking kidding me!"

"Awsten, please listen to me."

"No, I don't wanna hear another word that comes out of that hole in your face. Otto and I already threw out your shit. It's out back. I suggest you call someone to help you remove it."

Ciara shook her head. She had hoped Awsten wouldn't find out. She wanted to break it off gently because even if she didn't love him, she still cared.

"Ok." She spoke softly. "I'll call my Mom and be out of your way by tonight." Ciara smiled sadly and left the room.

The sound of the front door slamming triggered an avalanche of emotion. Awsten backed against the wall and slid to the floor, sobbing into his knees.

The ache in his head grew mirroring the one in his heart. Tears and snot and pain leaked out of him, filling the room with sorrow.

Jet awoke to the sound of Awsten's cries. She stretched, accidentally knocking his phone off the sofa. Awsten's head shot up at the sound. He watched as Jet jumped off the sofa and slunk over to him, rubbing against his legs.

Red faced and tear stained, Awsten reached out for his phone to dial the one person he needed.

-

Across town Otto Wood sat in the coffee shop he worked in, chatting to a couple of people on his break.

He yawned and stretched, throwing his arm around his girlfriend. Grace smiled up at him and leaned into him.

Opposite them Geoff awed at the couple. He was slightly jealous of their relationship and how it had lasted for so long. He hadn't had much luck when it came to love.

Pretty much all of his friends had though. Grace and Otto had, Awsten had and Jawn had. He wasn't sure about Travis though, they hadn't spoken for a while.

A tingling sensation from underneath him broke his train of thought. Geoff pulled out the vibrating device from his pocket and looked at the caller ID then answered.

"Hello?"

Heavy breathing and shaky sobs replied. Geoff looked over at Otto and Grace who were deep in conversation before attempting to soothe the person on the other end.

Once Geoff had calmed them down he proceeded to question them. "What's going on?"

"She...she chea...she hurt..and left...and oh my God Geoff! She fucking...and...can you come over?" They asked unable to string a sentence together. Geoff found it was like talking to a brick wall yet his heart still went out to them.

"Yeah of course. I'm only like fifteen minutes away so I'll be there soon ok?"

"Don't hang up...please."

"I won't." Geoff promised. He stood up and whispered, "Awsten needs me, I gotta go but I'll catch up with you guys later ok?" Grace nodded and Otto slid something across the table to him.

He shoved it in his pocket not giving it a second thought as he was too busy keeping Awsten distracted.

-

The brunette closed the front door softly behind him. A head poked out from the living room follwed by a neck, shoulders and soon the rest of Awsten's body ran straight at Geoff.

His arms latched around Geoff's neck, legs around his waist as he cried again.

Geoff carried him into the living room and sat down with Awsten still clinging to him. What he had manged to get out from Awsten was that Ciara had cheated and moved out.

He had seen a van pull away from the house as he pulled up but he wasn't entirelt sure if the two were connected.

Anger and hatred towards her grew in Geoff's stomach. Here was Awsten, weak in his arms. Broken. She had broken him and she would pay for it.

"I'm s..sorry Gee." Awsten gulped, hiccuping as he calmed down.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. She should be sorry and trust me she will be." Geoff said gently, wiping the tears away.

The blue boy buried his head in Geoff's chest, revelling in the feel of the brunette's heartbeat against his face.

"You're heart's beating pretty quickly." Awsten murmered with a smile.

"I ran inside." Geoff replied. "I didn't know you were so athletic."

"I'm not." The two sat in silence. This was what they did most days minus the tears. They just sat there, sometimes cuddling and sometimes not depending on moods and situations.

Then was a good time for cuddling.

"I don't know what I'm gonna do Geoff." Awsten broke the quiet. "She fucking hurt me and broke my heart. I'm not ok with this and its weird not having anyone here. I'm gonna be all alone except for Jet."

Geoff sighed and nodded. "True. I'm not going to let you be on your own. It's not the best idea right now so maybe you could call your Mom or Gracie. Ooh how about Ot-"

"Why don't you move in with me?" Geoff raised an eyebrow at him.

"What?"

"Yeah! We're best friends, we've known each other for ages so why not? It's perfect! Please Geoff? For me?" Awsten pleaded. Geoff looked into his big watery eyes and realised that it wasn't the worst idea Awsten ever had.

They knew each other well and Geoff always knew how to comfort him.

"Yeah sure, why not?"

Awsten smiled and clapped his hands together, climbing off Geoff's lap. Ciara was long forgotten. "Awesome! We know a shit ton of people who can help you move your stuff in. Why not start now?"

Geoff rolled his eyes. "We don't know a shit ton, we know about eight."

"That's more than enough." Awsten pointed out and Geoff had to agree. "True...ok I'll start making calls. You should probably feed Jet. She looks hungry." They both looked over at her tired face.

Come to think of it, Awsten hadn't had a whole lot to drink and his head was killing from all the crying.

Geoff pulled out his phone and a piece of paper fell out along with it. He picked it up off the carpet and handed it to Awsten.

"Here you go. Otto gave me this as I left. It's addressed to you." He held his hand out and Awsten graciously took it with a nod. It was the third letter he had been given that month. He wasn't complainaning though, they were cute and sweet. He just wished he knew who it was.

As Geoff left the room to make some calls, Awsten opened the letter. He absorbed every word, drinking them in to quench his complimentary thirst.

They always made him feel warm, happy and loved afterwards. Granted it was a little creepy as he didn't know them but they didn't seem like the serial killer type and no letter had been delivered to his door yet so they hopefully weren't a stalker.

Awsten doubted it but still if they were, at least he would have Geoff there to protect him.

Awsten,

I've already complimented you on your voice and your impeccable taste in music so today let's focus on my favourite part; your eyes.

There is so much to say I don't know where to begin. Let's start with the colour.

Dual toned and both shine equally as bright. They are the love child of the sun and moon, orbs of pure brilliance and light. Happiness and hope all in one.

When you blush you lool down and up through your eyelashes, biting your lip and hoping no one will notice.

I could get lost in your eyes for day, weeks, months, years, forever. They never age, never grow old. Just as fresh and bright as the day I first saw them.

You're beautiful Awsten and so damn amazing. Don't let anything bring you down, don't let anyone dull your shine. Keep smiling, laughing and living because there are so many things to be happy about. Tacos, HEB orange juice, any pets you may have, tacos again (they're just so good.)

I'm getting off topic. The point is you're beautiful and no one can tell you otherwise.
