WELLS

“Flora!!!” I yell as I run into her room. I may be worrying more than I need to be about Easton, of all people but only getting that response from him has me scared. “I need you to tell the twins to wait for me by Easton's cabin to let me in, please! I'm heading over there now. Sorry I'll explain to you later but I need to go!” I rushed out. 

And with that I'm out of my cabin and dead sprinting to Easton's. I can't help but think about how stupid it is that I'm sprinting to his cabin even though we hate each other. I mean we've hated each other since I moved here and started intervening with his crimes. So why do I care so much if he's alright or not?

I don't know..

When I finally get to his cabin Paxton is waiting outside for me. He seems to understand why I'm there so doesn't ask any questions and opens the door for me before leaving. 

“Easton!! It's me! Hello? Easton?!” I yell as I ramble around his cabin looking for him. I'm about to start yelling for him when I finally see him. I want to cry at the sight of it.

He's passed out against a wall in what I think is his room, hyperventilating while he's out. I know I shouldn't leave him but just to be prepared for when I do wake him, I go to his kitchen to get a glass of water for him and grab a change of clothes for him seeing as he's sweated enough in the ones he has on. I bring everything back to where he is and try to calm myself down so I can help him.

I kneel down next to him so he doesn't feel trapped with me in front of him and gently take his hand in mine. Then I place my other hand on his shoulder and use the pad of my thumb to rub circles while I carefully nudge him. “Easton, hey Easton it's Wells, come on East wake up” I said softly so that if that even did work it doesn't feel real him out too much.

To my surprise it does, only not in my favor. He jolts awake and pushes himself away from me to try hiding in the corner. Then he starts to cry, finally letting it out after all that. 

I don't get up in case that'd scare him more, instead just scoot myself closer to him until I can take his hand again gently. He finally looks up with tear filled eyes.

“East, I'm here okay? You're going to be okay” I breathe as I slowly raise a hand to wipe the tear from his face. Once I get him to stop crying he suddenly reaches out and hugs me.

He nuzzles his face in my neck and whispers, “Why have you never called me East before?”

“I don't know, I've never thought to before. Why? Do you like it?” I ask as I start running my fingers through his auburn hair. “yeah” he mumbles in response. 

I only smile at that before remembering I brought him water. “Hey, I brought you water, let me get it real quick.” I say as I make a move to get up. “No. Please don't leave Well.” Easton firmly states, hugging me tighter.

“.. East, I brought the water up here, I'm not going to leave you tonight I promise. Okay? So let me go for a couple seconds, get changed, and I'll sit on the bed, not looking, then you can get water and sleep while I'm here with you” I say, trying to convince him.

“You promise not to leave?” He questions, looking up at me.

“Yes” I promise as I look back at him. It takes a little bit but he lets me go to get dressed while I sit on the bed looking the opposite direction. When he's done he walks over so he's in front of me. “Are you really going to be here the whole night?” he enquired, looking a little worried for my answer. “Yes, I'm going to stay with you the whole night, so get in the bed while I grab the water from where I left it” I state, ensuring him that I won't leave. 

I walk over to where I left the water and turn around to find him sitting on the bed, staring at me with his perfect blue eyes. I try to ignore it as I walk back over handing him the water before sitting beside him. He finishes the water quickly, then lays down to attempt to fall asleep. But from the looks of it, he can't.

He just keeps tossing and turning. After this happens for at least ten minutes I'm done with it and lay down too. I turn to face him and without saying anything wrap my arms around him, pulling him so he's almost laying on top of me. He has his head on my chest and our legs are intertwined. 

“Go to sleep already East” I whisper in his ear. With that he freezes up, and I smile to myself as I start to fall asleep.

Got him back.
