To the Moon and Back

Charlie's POV

I was so excited to visit the tattoo studio Alex took me to. It was awesome. The walls were full of brightly coloured framed artworks of tattoo designs and all of the equipment was unknown to me.

I think I asked too many and probably weird questions because the guys looked at me a bit alienated.

Justin though was really nice and patiently tried to answer all of my questions, I wanted to know how the needles felt and he handed me the gun to try out. It was really painful, just to think this would run over your skin for hours sent shivers down my spine.

Then Alex had to lie down and the session began. I can't explain why but when I watched him it was as if I could feel his pain as if the needles would pierce me instead of him.

I couldn't sit on the chair anymore, I wanted to be near him, to touch him, to heal his skin and kiss the little bleeding wounds that appeared. But of course I could not do this so I just got closer and stared into his eyes.

I could not understand why someone would do this to himself. So I asked but he did not answer but looked so lost and then he shut his eyes not reacting to me anymore.

I felt so bad that I had obviously hit a nerve here and drove him even further into his shell. I needed to get out of this place so I got up and left without a word. Luckily we came to the shop in separate cars so I got into mine and drove home.

Alex's POV

I knew she was gone before I even opened my eyes, I couldn't feel her presence any more. I am such an idiot, why didn't I just talk to her like a normal person would. She probably thinks I hate her.

When I was finished it was late and I drove home where Lisa was waiting for me. Some friends of hers had invited us to dinner.

So we got ready and left, but my mind was with the girl that had asked me these questions that shot right into my heart.

Lisa noticed I wasn't my usual self and asked me a couple of times if something was wrong but I denied, kissing her head saying I was just a bit tired and the fresh tattoo was hurting, she knew why I wanted to get the rose so she didn't pry any further and snuggled into my side.

We had a nice evening as the other couple was really cool and funny.

I felt so bad lying to my girlfriend but I didn't know what to do.

There was something about Sharky that had attached myself to her, I couldn't stop worrying about her and it felt like it was beyond my free will.

All the crazy things she did and all the situations she put me through just made me want her even more and try and keep her safe with me.

When we went home late that night Lisa and I cuddled into bed together she pressed her body to mine but I didn't feel like doing more and so we just went to sleep.
