In the obscurity of the twilight, it seemed like the waves of the clouds were combined in one piece, the gentle sun and its colorful extensions, the petals from a flower ripped by the wind.

My eyes watched behind the glass, of a window which allows me to see the spectacular show of the nature.

But no, despite the beauty, of the perfection and the calmness, I felt broken, detached from it.

I am far away from where I watch, the colors reflecting on the window, entering and enlightening the room along with the irises of my navy blue eyes.

But the nature it's as sad as I am, despite the colors and the beauty, behind what the humans want to see, the grey clouds are approaching, announcing a terrible storm.

Chapter 8: Part 2- Black peel

The night has retreated its black wings, but my mind had no rest, so the hours passed like the sand from a hourglass, drop by drop, bit by bit, I thought it's unfair, how slow time can pass besides you, and how much you can regret that you still had no time to sleep.

However, with a white cup filled with a black substance in my hands, I knew that I have to do something more than to wait for the colors to be absorbed by the crepuscular; I have to protect them before the storm opens its black sleeping bud.

Tired, exhausted by only one white night, maybe because as the drops of sand exhausted themselves, the sea of thoughts has attacked me, taking advance of my lack of strength or mostly, self control.

'Enough.'

I never felt guilt, it never burned my throat and mind, not to mention disturbed my mind.

The red haired boy it's still looking in the place where I've been but now his hands are at his sides.

"Damn it." The black haired boy said and I realized that all of the swearing which I've heard has been from him.

"Look, you'll feel really proud if you let us rot here? We are probably of the same age, I saw you with your rich family once, all I am asking it's some fucked help to get into your school. We need to stay in that dorm so we won't die under this fucking bridge! It will be so fucking simple for you!"

I let it play again, the same movie, the same episode has played before my eyes, like it has played for the entire night.

I've turned the pages, again and again, of the same chapter and I even thought of it in my favor, in their favor, but in the end, I thought of them as for my promises.

I didn't hoped, didn't dreamed with my eyes open, but maybe...just maybe...

'I lied; I can help them to enter in this school. But I no longer have my family support, I have it for me but to ask them a favor means to come back to that house, and didn't I promise myself that I will never go back?'

I closed my eyes, I've put the cup on the nightstand and I took my jacket, and I've put it on me.

'However, I can still help them.'

The thought that maybe when I said that I can't is a lie was the only reason which made me to come back to that bridge.

Even if I immediately refused the thought that maybe I wanted to help them.

'But what if they already left?' I thought just when I had just ten steps to do until to arrive at the bridge.

I heard voices right when I arrived at the boundary, the boundary between the bridge and the street which was made in my mind, 'cause the pavement was even under the bridge, grey like the one outside, but a little, cracked.

But I stopped walking when I saw them, but they aren't paying attention to me anyway.

"Look, he won't help us, he's just a spoiled brat with a rich family, they don't care about anybody else, but themselves!"

Cloud is standing in front of the red haired boy which stays on a medium rock, treating it as a chair. They both look at each other, obviously having a fight.

"You don't know, maybe..." The red haired said in a low voice.

"There is no maybe! I know guys like him!" But Cloud it's almost yelling at him.

I watched and wondered how two complete different personalities got stuck together.

'It isn't my place to judge." I thought about me and Sasuke for a second and stopped, I made two steps forward and I heard a thunder emanating its power outside.

This made them look at me, both my steps guiding me into their view and the sound of the sky throwing its anger on the poor earth.

The red haired boy didn't rise up from its place, and not even his sad face changed, maybe a bit surprised now.

Though, Cloud looked even more upset and angered.

For one second I couldn't but compare them with the weather.

The thunder it's clearly Cloud with its anger, energy and stubbornness, dividing the sky in two.

But the red haired boy it's the rain, sad but calm, crying with beauty.

"What the hell do you want now?" Cloud asked me but I did not budge.

"I changed my mind." I said and in not more than three seconds after it, the red haired expression has changed, happiness spreads across his face within seconds, like the colors of the sunset reflecting on the grey clouds, like a smile.

He rose up but before he could make one step, Cloud's hand has stopped him, and I realized that me and him, we are both looking at Cloud and we have both realized in the same time:

'His expression didn't change.'

The rain poured outside, the sky crying and the thunder punishing the earth because of it, but in the same time, frightening the sad sky, resulting it by crying harder.

"What? Now you thought we'll thank you and that we'll lick your shoes?"

He wanted to continue but I talked before he could.

"Not at all."

I said rather calm but he didn't like it.

"I don't fucking care anyway! So just fuck off!"

He said and the red haired boy immediately begun to talk, again with a low voice but enough for me to hear it.

"Cloud, come on, it's not like that...he really seems to..." He was cut off with the yelling of Cloud's himself.

The thunder eclipsing the whole sky, dividing it, covering it with its anger, as the sky continues to cry, scared.

"I don't receive your mercy. Do you understand?"

Cloud said and the word echoed all around us, and the red head stepped back and looked at the ground, giving up.

"This has nothing to do with mercy." I said and I realized that I am already familiarized with his behavior, 'cause he begun to yell again right after my last word and I stopped because I just knew he will do this.

"Then with what?"

I thought and I searched for an answer in myself.

'It isn't about mercy; I would never do something because of mercy.' I thought to myself.

'Then why am I doing this?'

"Yeah, exactly how I thought, the fucking smelling mercy." Cloud said, took the red haired boy's arm and rather forced him to walk to where he was taking him.

Their backs are facing me and even if they are not walking fast, they will soon disappear from my sight.

In the storm.

I took another step forward and she looked at me, and then pointed the gun at me.

Trembling hands, and tears, and a voice that broke into wind that came from the window.

"I am sorry…"

I didn't make another step or moved my hands, I have not talked, and I just stared. And she just stood there and cried with the gun pointed at me.

I closed my eyes and then I opened them again, looked at their backs, and then I spoke, my own voice echoing everywhere around me.

"I lied when I said that I can't help, and I never lie. I can help both of you." I said and just then they stopped walking, Cloud looked at me and said:

"Why? You would help us just because you lied to us and ..." He said but I stopped him.

"Yes."

The thunder has made its sounds, and the rain continued to sing its song, but Cloud smiled at me while he spoke:

"You're one hell of a guy, I accept, if you insist so much."

His cocky smile shined as the thunder outside, and inside, for one second, I felt like smiling but I didn't.

Instead, I just walked back to the dorm, looking just ahead.

Soaked to the bone, but even with the sound of the thunder and with the sound of the pouring rain filling my ears, I still could hear their steps in the water that has gathered on the pavement ,splashing it all around, and sometimes muffled sounds, whispered words, I could hear them all happening behind me.

To be continued...

Yeah, I'm sorry, this chapter didn't gave you much information about the two new companions, not even the name of the red haired boy or something, just developing the characters personality I guess.

I'm sorry but I hope everybody liked it, it isn't very long even if it took a long time to write it but I thought about a way so you can get information and take them from the bridge in the same time, but in the end, I thought that I just try to add everything and it will turn out bad, rushed, maybe confusing if I do that so there will also be a part three of this.

If it is any consolation, I think that the next chapter, part three, will be rather a long chapter because I think I have a lot to say. So… maybe this will help you guys forgive me.

Anyway, I want to thank Mandekerasu for its review, for taking the time of telling me its opinion and for encouraging me to continue this story, and yes you are right, he really unconsciously broke his promise, and in this chapter, he broke the one of not lying and he will slowly break them all, of course, I will make him consciously break the one about 'not falling in love' but as you see, I take everything slow, I don't like to rush things and I hope I didn't disappoint you or get you bored.

So, hope everybody enjoyed this chapter and see you next time. Thank you.
