--= Vikk's + POV =--

I stiffened at the statement that slipped out of my lips, especially since everyone drew quiet right after. Other than Jerome's whimpers and Rob's pleads, nobody had what you would call a conversation.

Tightening my face, I halted the tears, not wanting any to fall if this was just a dramatic experience that Preston would survive. It's always Preston.

Laughing softly at the realization, I glared at the floor angrily. Why is it always him? Is life just cruel and wants to make his a living hell?

Is it for the panic attacks awaiting in the future from his over protective and caring friends who make a dilemma over every little thing.

So little when Preston scrapes his knee they rush in and start to plan for the worst. It's so funny, but it's oh so ironic. The hotheads a demon, the quickest is a blur, and the fluffy one is a beast of the woods.

Maybe it's just because somebody's writing this and Preston's their number one favourite out of all of us. If that's the case, well, thanks, poo head.

(:O *Offended Gasp*)

I didn't pay attention to what the others were saying, not caring and not really meaning to. It was just so old, all of it. He finally came back but he's injured and I'm taking the blame for it.

I know Lachlan's nervous, he has worry and guilt plastered all over his face. Jerome's a sobbing mess, Rob looks like he's about to die from a heart attack and Mitch looks like he wants to stab them all

for being so god damned loud while he's the only one trying to save the Cactus. And Preston? Well, I'm pretty sure I don't need to sum up how he's doing.

A huge sigh slipping from my lips, Lachlan's eyes flickered onto mine but immediately pulled away, I want to talk to him. Now.

Swinging my legs over the table I was lying down on, I walked up to Lachlan and grabbed his shirt, dragging him out of the medical tent.

Making sure we were far enough away yet close enough to hear, I turned him around so his wide, worried face was looking in my direction.

Lachlan at least a whole head and a half taller than me, he pursed his lips, not entirely sure what I wanted, but he could only assume that it was bad news for him.

"Speak please."

"What?" Cocking his head to the side, confused with what I meant, I stared him down for a good few minutes in silence and he eventually spoke up, nervous.

"It was my fault Preston was sent to the Nether." He blurted out. Heart skipping a beat at the confession, I narrowed my eyes at Lachlan who looked like he was about to pass out in fear.

".....How?" His bright, alarmed blue eyes tore away from mine, but he continued on anyways, knowing this would get him some insults at the very least.

"Blackmail, demons, wrong place at the wrong time." Lachlan scrunching his eyes shut, he pressed his index finger and thumb onto the bridge of his nose, putting pressure in stress.

Lachlan tensed up and fearful for what I was going to say next, all I could do was stare at him, not entirely sure what to say. Lachlan cringing backwards, I snatched his hand up and he looked at me.

"You think that's your  fault?" Blinking in disbelief, Lachlan just looked at me glassy eyed with a blank expression. Both of us not knowing how to respond to the other.

"You couldn't be more innocent in the situation!" Pulling his arm towards me, Lachlan stumbled forward, not even an inch away.

"How are you so stupid." Cupping my lips onto his, I pressed roughly, as my arms draped over his shoulders. Heat sliding down his face and onto my cheek, I held him tighter as he kissed back, crying.

In between the breaths as we pulled away, Lachlan muttered two words before a smile beamed onto his lips, making my heart wrench for him.

"I'm sorry."

================================================================================================================================

Still can't believe he said that about me.

*Holds hand to chest, hurt*
