My Comfy Place

chapter 2

Type's POV
After we played some soccer we were going to eat something because we were exhausted and we needed some energy, so we decided to go to the bakery that's not that far from our university.

When we reached the bakery we all were going inside and while the others where discussing what they were gonna eat, I saw tharn with an apron walking around. It looked like he was working here, but he seemed a bit pale and he seemed dizzy.
I saw that he was having a heavy time while walking back to the counter, and the moment he almost fainted I ran to him and catches him before he kissed the floor.

He was a but heavy so I sat him on a chair and when he opened his eyes again he seemed a bit confused.

"I catched you before you could fall in the floor" I said.
He looked at me a bit shocked before he said
"Oh thanks"
He looked away but I saw he was shy, so i asked
"Are you okay you, you look pale and I think you don't really have some energy left to work further."
He looked at me before he silently said
"I'm okay I just didn't get enough sleep and I need to work further".
He was about to stand up bit lost his strength in his legs an fell back on the chair.
"I think it's better if you go home and rest a bit." I said.
He nodded but said.
"I know but I really need to work or else I can't pay my bill's."
I was a bit shocked because he is still young but needs to pay the bill's.
"But you are just gonna faint again if you work further and maybe than you can't work for some days so it's better if you just go home now sleep a bit and tomorrow you can work again." I said.
He looked at me before he nodded and he stand up and talked to his co worker, than he packed his stuff and left.
I saw he was walking and didn't have a car so I walked to my friend who looked weird at me for helping him.
"What?" I asked
"Nothing it's just he talked to you." Said longh.
"So, can't he talk to me?" I asked confused.
"No it's not that but normally if someone talks to him he would just ignore them or answer shortly but you just had a whole conversation." Said techno
I looked confused at them, because how do they know all this but them I remembered the real reason is was going back.
"Oh yeah I am going because he looks sick and he is walking back home so I am gonna try if I can bring him home." I said.
They looked at me confused but still nodded.
So I got my stuff and went out.

Tharn's POV
After I asked a co worker if I could go home because I didn't feel good she said is was okay, I left.
When I was walking home, I was actually a bit surprised by myself that I talked to that boy who helped me, because normally if someone would talk to me I would just sit still and don't say anything because I am to shy, but with this boy, I don't know I feel really comfortable, it's weird because I don't really know him, I only know that he is in the same university as me and that he is friends with longh, I don't know why but longh hates me for some reason. I am already used to people hating me, like my family, people always think that I am not saying anything because I think that I am better, but that's not true, I don't talk to people because I'm shy and afraid, because all the people I opened up to left me.

While I was deep in thoughts I didn't hear that a car was driving really slow next to me, but when the driver lowered the window and shouted at me I was dragged out of my thoughts.

When I looked who was in the car it was the same boy who helped me.
"Are you walking home?" He asked me.
"Yes I don't have a car." I said.
"Come in, I will drive you home." He said.
I looked a but surprised by the question because I didn't see that coming.
"Don't be afraid I won't do something to you." He said.
I thought for a few minutes, but then I thought that he already helped me so I think I can trust him.
"Okay." I said and I got in the car.

He asked me where I lived and I told him.
The beginning of the drive was silent, for me it was good because I don't really like communicating because i make a fool out of myself sometimes.
But after a while he started talking.
"Actually i don't know your name." He said.
"Oh right, I am tharn." I said.
"Nice to meet you tharn, I am type." He said.
I just nodded.
"So why do you work at the bakery?" He asked.

I was thinking if I should tell him or not but I think it's better to tell the truth.
"I need to work to pay for my tuition, my apartment and other stuff." I said.

He looked a bit shocked with what I said, I know that it's not normal for a person my age to pay all those things, but I need to because my family don't support me.
"But don't you have parents or family that will help you?" He asked.
"No, my family don't like me, they threw me out of the house when I was 18." I said and when I thought of that moment I felt a tear slip from my eyes.

He looked at me and pulled over so he could focus more in me than the streets.
"Hey don't cry, everything will be okay." He said.
"I know, it's just that it's been a long time since someone talked to me without getting angry." I said.
"But why do people get angry at you I don't see a reason for them to be angry at you." He said.
"Its just because I'm really shy to talk to people and then they think I am rude because I don't answer them." I said.
"But why are you so good at talking to me then?" He asked.

Actually I really don't know myself but I just feel comfortable with him around.
"I don't know, I just feel like I can talk to you without you getting angry or me being shy." I said.

He looked at me thinking what he should respond.
"Oh that's nice to know." He said.
"Then if you don't mind, would you like to be my friend?" He asked.
I was shocked because nobody ever asked that.
"Yeah." I answered a bit shy.
He laughed at me and I looked at him confused.
"You don't need to be so shy around me." He said.
"Sorry I just need to process that I have a friend now." I said.
"Oh it's okay, but if you don't mind I can let you meet my friends than you have some more." He said.
"I don't know I'm a bit afraid because normally if I talk to people I make a fool out of myself." I said to him.
"Oh don't worry, my friends are nice. But now I'm gonna drive you home because you need to rest." He said.
"Oh yeah right." I said.
The rest of the drive we talked and I got to know him better. Now I know he has a friend group of 4 people. And that's him, techno, champ and longh.
When we reached my apartment I was about to open the door when he called my name.

"Tharn."
"Yes."
"Can I have your number so that I can know if you feel better."
"Oh ok."
I gave him my number and he gave his.
"Then tomorrow if you feel better text me so that I know if you are going to school or not."
"Oh ok."
"And of your don't mind would you like to have lunch with me and my friends tomorrow."
"Oh I don't mind but are you sure your friends would like it."
"Its gonna be alright for them, I just gonna ask longh to take you with him when he comes to us."

I looked a bit afraid at him because longh doesn't like me.
"You don't need to be afraid of him, I'm gonna tell him he needs to behave or I'm gonna slap him, so if he does something to you or he's rude tell me."
I laughed.
"Okay is good."
"I like your laugh." He said.
I was a taken aback because nobody had said something like that to me.
"Thanks I think."
"Don't be shy, I really like so you should laugh more."
"Okay."
"So now go rest and text me if you need anything, now that I know where you live I can come easily."
"Oh I don't want to bother you."
"You don't bother me, that's just what friends do."
I smiled at him and said goodbye.
