things change, people move on, people leave, but some things stay the same, people hit you and don’t change, people belive lies and don’t change. the things that stay the same are regulus and james.
“if you leave i’ll kill myself!” james yells. him and regulus are surrounded in broken plates and cups. regulus is sure james loves him, deep down.
——————————————————
it’s 3:00am, james still isn’t home from work. regulus unlocks his phone and opens snapchat, he checks maps, james has his location off. ‘he’ll be home soon, im sure he will. maybe it’s traffic’ regulus thinks to himself. james loves him, deep down.
——————————————————
their surrounded by blood, regulus’ blood. he’s passed out on the floor. he made him and james dinner, spaghetti, regulus doesn’t make it as good as lily. james does love regulus, deep, deep, deep, deep down.
——————————————————
regulus is in the car, his stuff in the back. he wonders if james will miss him. who cares, he’s done. james had hurt him for the last time. james made a comment about how maybe regulus deserved the abuse he had to deal with as a kid. regulus is on the phone to sirius, he always calls sirius when he’s scared.
“sirius, hi” regulus manages to get out, his voice is shaky and weak
“regulus?” sirius asks, he seems confused.
“can i stay for a week or two?” regulus asks gently, his voice is still weak.
“why? are you ok? why can’t you stay with james?”
“i’ll explain when i get to your place.”
“oh, ok see you then i guess. bye reg.”
“bye siri”
regulus hangs up.
he’s not so sure james loves him.
——————————————————
249 missed calls from james and 302 texts. regulus ignores every single one.
—————————————————-
3 months later regulus convinced himself to call james, ‘i’m sure he has good intentions’ regulus thought to himself.
after the call regulus ran to the bathroom to throw up, maybe he doesn’t have good intentions
