From Friend To Mate novel Chapter 11

There was something about his warmth that comforted Felix.

He didn't budge.

They stayed in that psoition for a while and the once-risen sun began to slowly cascade into the horizon painting the street in an orangey purple landscape.

It was beautiful.

Felix couldn't leave his arms and tears slowly began falling down his cheek. He instantly wiped them off. He didn't want to seem weak in front of jason. Not right now.

Jason had already let down his defenses down. Teardrops littered his cheeks. Felix felt them on top of his head as they rolled of off Jason's chin.

"Please." Jason pleaded. "Please. Talk to me."

For the hours they'd been apart Jason felt like he was loosing himself. He already completely recked his room.

When his dad noticed he had a certain look on his face. Like one of recognition but clearly Jason had not the slightest idea why. After a few more seconds of silence felix replied.

"Ok."

Felix followed Jason into the car as it drove to somewhere nice and public.

Somewhere felix would feel safe.

It hurt Jason thinking that felix couldn't feel safe around him anymore but it made sense. What he did was unforgivable but leave it to him to attempt the impossible.

They sat at a Cafe. Jason has insisted he buy Felix some chocolate tea so he did with a muffin.

Felix sat silently while sipping the tea.

That day he decided to wear a huge turtle neck oversized sweater with sweatpants. He was almost certain he looked like a hobo but didn't care.

He needed to hide the scars on his neck, wrist and heart.

He slowly sipped on the tea waiting for Jason say what he came here to.

"Im sorry." Jason said.

At that moment,that was all he could think of. After what went down, he had the chance to calm himself and now he needed to undo the damage. Somehow.

He made it so that Felix wouldn't see him that night and followed him all the way home. He wanted to make sure thet Felix was truly safe and there was no place safer than under his supervision.

He observed Felix while he followed him home and althought Felix confessed to him what went on. Jason knew. That wasn't the real reason why he was being ignored.

He observed felix while he followed him home and althought felix confessed to him what went on. Jason knew. That wasn't the real reason.

Felix thought about the apology. It took almost everything in him not to rush back to Jason and jump into his arms. But he had to think this out.

He still had the murder at the back of his mind , but he came to the conclusion a few days ago that there was no way it could've been jason, so he stopped thinking about it and with it went away the stress he was feeling from the situation.

He had to know that he could trust Jason before befriending him and to figure that out he needed time. That night he walked home and rested for the rest of the day. The next few days he repeated the process. With his new friend Eb his life seemed to be mending itself.

On the next Thursday morning, Felix crawled out of his bed. He did his usual routine getting ready for school. This time he wore a long sleeved sweater and some baggy sweatpants and he wore simple old school vans on his feet with white socks.

He didn't need to cover or hide his neck any more as the scar faded into nothing. He seemed to gain a liking for baggier clothes. It make him feel safe and he guessed, according to the public's reaction, it hid his body.
