Rob's P.O.V.

Anxiety stirred around my stomach. As sweat matted my hair. My heart twisted into knots as I drew nearer to the door.

Mat stood right beside me. Encouraging me to push forward. Making sure I didn't turn and run at the sight of Preston.

My hands shook and my whole body trembled. My stomach sank even further as we stopped.

Our gaze locked on the door I watched it for a while. Muffled voices came from the peep holes of the door.

Travelling Preston and Lachlan's voices into the hallways. Regret and hesitation fuzzed my thoughts.

Stretching my arm outwards I pointed it towards the door. Out stretching my fingers I curled them around the door knob.

Tears of fear brimmed in my eyes. A whimper escaping my lips I began to pull the door open. A gloomy look made it's way onto Matt's face.

As if the mood was sucked dry out of him and replaced with the one that was more suitable for the situation.

The Italian hairstyle Matt was rocking was neat and classy. Sort of like Preston's . Except not as attractive.

Matt's brown eyes seemed dull. Grey in a way. Like a flame in a fire extinguished by rain.

What was left over was just the smoke. What was left of the now destroyed master piece.

"Ready Rob?" Mat questioned. A forced smile seemed to grow on his lips as he turned to look at me.

"Yeah, yeah I think so." I answered. Hesitation sounded so clearly in my throat it almost made me sick.

A sigh escaped Matt's lips. Nodding his head I pushed the door open. The sound of the doorknob clicked as the hinges pulled.

The creaky sound of the wooden door caught Lachlan's attention. But not Preston's...

Preston was sitting on the floor beside Vikk's bed. A huge, goofy grin on his face.

I felt anger boil inside of me as I saw Preston's hand intertwined with Vikk's. Their fingers locked.

Both of them seeming comfortable. While Lachlan kneeled down beside Preston. A smile on his lips as well.

My face flushed when I realized Lachlan was cuddling into Preston as well. Why is he so happy with them! Why not me! I care!

Why can't he see that! My hand instantly whipped to the top of my head. Brushing my fingers through my hair I blew air loudly out of my mouth.

Finally getting Preston's attention. Preston's hand drew away from Vikk's. As Preston's eyes made it's way around the room they finally landed on mine.

A blank expression smacked onto his face as soon as he saw me. Matt brushed past me.

Going to sit beside Lachlan. Taking the other side of Lachlan. The whole side of the bed filled up I just watched.

All of them awkwardly watched me. None of them stared at me with judgement.

The only one seeming perfectly fine in the situation was Vikk. But he wasn't even awake!

"Hey Rob. Want to sit down?" Preston questioned. I felt my heart flutter at what he said.

Preston's voice not as cold as before. Nodding my head I walked towards them. Kneeling down I sat beside Preston.

A warm smile grew on his lips I had to smile back. What got into him? I was ready for a cruel, mean, cold Preston. Not....This....

"Thanks." I mumbled. Heat rose to my cheeks as I stared at the seemingly dazed Preston. "Anytime." Preston responded.

A huge smile was peeked on both Lachlan and Mat. Each of them rose their hands to make a heart sign by cupping their hands together.

Feeling my eyes roll on instinct I turned to Preston. The thought bugging me too much I couldn't keep it in anymore.

"Preston?" I wondered. Sweat tangled in my hair as I felt some run down my back.

"Yeah Rob?" Preston replied. A forced smile now on his lips I felt a huge weight grow on my shoulders.

"I need to say something. It's an apology. And I need to know if you want to hear it. Just....Hear me out...Please." I begged.

Preston shot me a look but I couldn't tell what it meant. Rage flared in his eyes. Yet the smile showed understanding and kindness.

The thoughts raced past Preston's eyes as he thought it through. Finally after a few moments that felt like forever Preston bobbed his head slightly.

Hesitantly nodding his head. Thinking it would be worth it on what I had to say.

"I really do feel bad Preston. I know, what I did was wrong but I didn't know you were alright.

I woke up and you were nowhere to be found. You could ask anybody when I say I looked EVERYWHERE.

But, I understand if you can't for give me. I know the situation. I just thought you were dead for so long.

Then I thought I lost you as a friend because you gave me the cold shoulder when you got here.

I apologize with all my heart. And I truly am, sorry." I apologized. Silence took my answer into consideration as I waited.

The patience burning fast I waited for him to answer. Yet Preston never did.

Opening his mouth Preston's eyes widened and averted his eyes onto the bed. Preston's jaw dropped as he looked at Vikk.

Confusion swirling in my mind I followed his gaze. My stomach dropping to see Preston holding hands with Vikk.

Except Vikk's eyes were open....
