8 chapter 8!
he promised to take care of you, and in all honesty he was doing a great job at it. Cuddles first thing in the morning and last thing at night, kisses when ever you pleased, unlimited access to his hoodies, that's always a bonus; Amare was everything you wanted in a guy, you were the luckiest girl in the world.
Currently, it was dawn. The sun was rising setting an caramel glow in the sky, birds chirped a tuneful melody which was always nice to wake up too. Amare was cuddled up by your side, his face was smushed into his pillow so it looked like a little marshmallow. Adorable. His mouth was slightly agape letting out tiny and relaxing breaths as he was in a deep sleep. Everything about him was so so perfect.
"Amare...wake up baby."
You whispered softly into his ear, your hot breath tickled him in his ear; his shoulders hunched up to his ears and he let out a little giggle.
"Amare!"
You said a little louder, his eyes squinted open just a little to meet yours that were gaping at him.
"Jeez you scare me sometimes woman."
He yawns and stretches all his muscles out, resuming back to a normal fetal like position he drapes an arm over your body.
"You are so pretty in the mornings."
He compliments making you blush, moments like these were so so meaningful and something that you will always remember.
"Aw my bub is blushing, how cute."
He coos while pinching your rosy cheeks.
"Hush."
You whisper and bury your head in his chest, he instantly wraps his muscly arms around you tighter.
"My baby."
He mumbles and peppers light kisses along your forehead and down your cheek, he loved every inch of you, nothing was ever left unloved when it comes to Amare.

-location: in the kitchen-
"Okay who's for bacon and eggs?"
Blake asked the whole group who were sitting around the kitchen aisle. All of them in unison agreed to both, grown men need their meals am I right? Blake was indeed a good cook, he was whipping out breakfast left right and center, no one ever complained when Blake cooked.
"So where is Amare and Y/N?"
Lewis asks while munching into a streak of bacon, Nathan finishes his mouthful and begins to talk.
"They are all pretty loved up at the moment, I am only guessing that they are kissing and cuddling every spare second they have."
The whole group laugh at Nathan's comment and go back to devouring their amazing breakfast.
"They need to resurface from their room at some point."
Connor adds on, everyone nods their head in agreement.
"I will go see if they want breakfast, Amare is a sucker for Blake's cooking."
Lewis says.
"Who isn't a sucker for his cooking?"
Nathan yells out at Lewis who makes his way up the stairs.

"Amare! Please can you grab my towel?"
You yelled out from behind the shower curtain, a few seconds later, Amare hurriedly jogs into the steamy shower room with your familiar pink towel.
"Here you are princess."
He winks before leaving you for your own privacy.
-Amare POV-
I sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Lyra to finish with her shower, I missed her so much even when she was only gone for five minutes. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Yeah?"
I questioned as I opened my door, I was met with Lewis.
"Breakfast? Downstairs?"
He says.
"Who made it?"
"Blake."
He replies instantly.
"say no more."
Amare walks straight past Lewis making him laugh.

time skip.
"so I was thinking...maybe we could go visit Leo's and Jason's grave? Plant some flowers maybe?"
Sam suggests, it was a very touchy subject to bring up as the deaths of their two group members were still fresh in each other's minds. A chilly silence filled the kitchen, everyone placed down their knives and forks as a grim atmosphere set in. No one was speaking.
"T-thats. That's a great idea sam. It could bring us much needed closure."
Connor finally breaks the silence, to be honest it was great idea. We could pay our respects and celebrate the lives of our two dearest friends.
"Agreed. That's a lovely idea Connor."
Lyra says and sips on her orange juice.
"Let's get moving then."
Sam encourages.

After stopping off at a florists, we all picked out some flowers.
Connor: red roses
Blake: tulips
Sam: Daffodils
Amare: snowdrops
Lyra: poppies
Nathan: Violets
Lewis: Daisies
The graveyard was bleak and quiet, it was fitting to say the least. At first we stopped off at Leo's grave, he was buried next to his late mother and father who tragically died when he was six, a possible cause for all his anger. Leo never had a chance to say goodbye to his mother and father, he had so many queries, so much built up sadness that turned into anger as the years drew on. He joined this gang to find an escape and an answer for why his childhood was so cruel.
"Dearest Leo, we hope you are doing well up there in the sky. We hope you're pain free and happy just like you deserve to be, with your mum and dad. I hope the three of you are all tucked up safely up there. Sleep tight."
Nathan choked up towards the end of the speech, Connor places a reassuring hand on his shoulder and let him cry it out. Each member had tears in their eyes as they placed down flowers on the grave stone, each flower adding some hope and light.

Everyone makes their way towards Jason's grave just down the path. The gravestone was simply decorated with his full name date of birth, and now death date. Suddenly it all becomes too much for Lewis, he falls onto his knees and sobs into his cold hands.
"W-why did you have to leave me? Why would you do this! You are my best friend in the entire world and you left me!"
Lewis screams, he falls limp on the ground, Lyra feels some sort of emotion seeing Lewis look so vulnerable, much to Amare's discomfort, she leaned down next to him and cradled Lewis in her arms. Amare was not impressed in the slightest.
"Lewis. It's okay. He didn't want to leave you okay? It's just an awful awful tragedy, he misses you so so much I guarantee."
Lyra reassures, stroking his blonde hair between her fingers. Amare became more and more furious by the second, he couldn't start a scene here. Not now. It has to wait until they get home.
•-•
A few hours had past and everyone was back in their room s doing their own thing, the events earlier had really shook up Amare's head, he was angry and jealous, so very jealous.
"Hey Lyra."
He says to her in the bathroom.
"Hm?"
She hums back, Amare pats a spot beside him on the bed where she can join him.
"What is wrong?"
She asks confused, Amare sighs.
"I didn't like it seeing you and Lewis so close today."
He confesses, Lyra was taken aback, it was just an innocent act to help a friend who was GRIEVING.
"Amare. He's in the same position as you, he's grieving. Everyone has different coping mechanism for grief, yours isn't as noticeable but Lewis was in pain Amare. Lots of pain and like it or not I had to be their for him."
She stands up so he's directly adjacent to her boyfriend, she was incredibly shocked and angry at Amare's confession, she would've thought he would be more empathetic as this was his fellow member who was going though exactly the same.
"Well I don't like it, you are mine and only mine and I don't wanna are you wrapping your arms around someone else, another guy even. Friend or not you are not allowed to touch anyone but me, got it?"
Wow, this was a side Lyra would never have thought to see.
"You are so controlling. What the hell happened to you. News flash, you are not the boss of me and you can not tell me what to do."
"I CAN AND I WILL."
Amare screams finally loosing his temper with his girlfriend. He hated what he had become.
"LEAVE ME ALONE AMARE."
Lyra yells twice as loud, matching his anger. One thing she despises is being controlled. And her true love was doing just that.
"IM LEAVING. GOODBYE."
"WHERE YOU GONNA GO?"
"ANYWHERE. JUST LEAVE ME ALONE."
She turns on her heels and storms out of the bedroom and slams the door behind her, the whole house hearing the uproar. There was a thick silence, it was a very sucky situation to be in.
