Chapter 5
When he woke up he saw that Lucius had send him another text.
"I have a question"
"Yes Lucius"
"How do you express yourself on stage about your emotions?"
"It's different on stage, the emotions are artificials and I know how to describe them and what they are at the exact moment, plus when I'm performing I'm the character, not myself"
"Oh okay"
After this short discussion Severus got dressed with a black hoodie, some pair of black jeans, his Docs and the same vintage denim jacket as always.
He then get out of his apartment without any idea of what's going to happen to him.

" Lucius "
"Yeah?"
"Can you call Lily if she's with you please? She's not answering her phone"
"Uh we're in class rn and she's at the opposite of me, plus I think she's in a bad mood, what's happening?"
"Her boyfriend punched me in the face, I think my nose is broken"
"Where are you"
"Boys bathroom hallway C"
Lucius was already packing his stuff and leaving the amphitheater almost running in the corridor, then he finally arrived seeing a tall boy looking at himself in the bathroom mirror.
- "Severus!" Said Lucius walking towards him.
- "H-Hi" He said in pain.
- "Let me see"
- "No it's alright, I'll just go to the infirmary."
- "No, show me" Said Malfoy grabbing Severus's jaw gently, he was almost as tall as him.
Lucius father was a facial chirurgical doctor so he knew the basics, Mr.Malfoy wanted Lucius to have the same job as him.
- "It's not broken, but it seems to be really painful" then he realized the watering eyes of the other boy "hey hey don't cry, it's okay you're alright" Lucius said softly.
Severus wasn't even sure of why he was crying, maybe the pain, the fear or just someone touching him like that, all he knew was that at this moment he was overwhelmed and scared, of what? He wasn't sure.
- "I want to go home.." was all he could say.
-"okay I'm gonna take you home, I have a car just tell me where you live" Lucius said gently brushing Severus's hair out of his face and grabbing some tissues to clean the blood on Severus chin and hands.
While the blond boy was doing that Severus has taken his phone to write his address.
-"ok, come with me"
After that they both headed to Lucius's car and the blond guy started to drive.
Severus was touching his own neck and collarbones as if it burned him, and Lucius was worried.
- "Did he punch you there as well?"
Severus ignored him, looking through the window, and after some minutes Lucius had realized that he might be doing this because of the anxiety, so the blond guy took Severus's free hand and brushed his thumb on the back of it.
- "I have pain killer pills at my house, I'll give it to you after but now if breathing is too painful breath by your mouth, you'll be okay I promise."
