love heals

look at this shit (ch8)

     gold... then brown... blue... then gray. Shadows drifted over my walls as the night wadded on. I lied in bed, staring at the ceiling. Stillness shrouded the room, only disturbed by the occasional shadow of a passing car. bye and bye the hours went. My only thoughts being of absolute isolation and self destruction. I glanced at my cellphone. The clock read eleven fifteen. seventeen notifications laced my home screen. all text messages. all from Jackson.

      I laid my phone back down before standing up. pacing my room I jumped as I heard a large thud on my window. I let out a gasp and turned to face toby. I couldn't help but smile. I was afraid, but I had never seen him do anything bad... so, innocent until proven guilty, am I right? I unlatched the window and let him in. I immediately wrapped my arms tightly around him, giving him a bear hug that he hesitantly but fully returned. A chuckle slipped from his chapped lips. I could feel happiness radiating off him, much unlike the other night. I looked up at him, and let out a sigh.

     "you will never  believe what I've been through today."

     Toby passed my phone back to me, shrugging his shoulders. 

     "I say, j-just block him." 

     I nodded. "I will." 

     "why would he betray you like that?"

     "no idea... he's never done anything like that. And getting suspended along with what my mother said to me... this hasn't turned out to be a very good day."

     he tapped the clock on my nightstand, "yesterday wasn't a good day," a smile stretched across both of our faces. "were five minutes into a new day; and I think its been pretty great so far." 

     "you're completely right." I shuffled over, we had both been sitting on my bed. I laid my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes. "Thank God I dont have school in the morning."

     The sent of pine needles and nostalgia flooded my senses. I gripped a thick fabric In my hand. tobys hoodie.  I smiled. his soft breathing and occasional twitching was beyond comforting. the room was silent. 

     "morning," toby's arm was  wrapped around me, he placed his hand on my head and played with my hair. 

     my face turned a soft shade of pink. "good morning."

     all fell silent as we laid there.
