5: Close to You

Los Angelos, CA
2020

It was now 12 at night, we were watching Grey's Anatomy to pass by the time of us falling asleep. I could stay up for a uneven amount of hours, but he couldn't. I applauded him earlier because he usually goes to sleep like his mother puts him to bed.

Out of nowhere our phone both began to chime, ringing out amber alerts. I grabbed my phone from the side of myself, looking at what the message was. The California state had ruled that all cities and states would undergo lockdown due to COVID.

"Yo what the fuck, no no no no, I got shit to do," said Tyler

He was standing up checking his phones getting multiple alerts from his friends and family. Everybody had been calling my mother texted me in the midst asking where I was.

I usually traveling for my job, so I can understand to why she was asking. Luckily my boss shutdown the events of working in advance since he'd heard about the virus earlier.

"Damn they said the law enforcement is giving us a curfew to be home by, but starting today we can't leave the house at all."

"How are we gonna live, what are we going to eat, I have a face cleansing appointment tomorrow."

"Tyler calm down, I'm pretty sure we'll find something to do while in the pandemic, for right now we just have to wait."

The news report was starting again from a commercial break, from turning the TV on.

"Los Angelos will also be under a severe weather rainstorm from 12:30 at night to 7 o'clock this morning. Be safe and remember to wear masks at all times, and not leave the house to protect loved ones."

Severe RAINSTORM, every since a kid I've hated rainstorm's, and aren't good at sleeping through them.

I looked over at T while he was standing in front of the TV trying to understand everything that was going on. He turned towards me, while I looked at him pouting.

Tyler knew that I couldn't sleep through the rainstorms, when were kids he would stay up night and watch my window as we were neighbors. Making sure that I went to sleep and was not staying up late from the rainstorm.

"So I'm guessing you don't want to use the guest bedroom tonight?"

I nodded my head as he adjusted his pajama pants and undergarments from jumping around earlier.

"Please T, I can just sleep on the floor if you want me to, but I can't sleep alone."

There was a loud roar from outside that made the sustained house shake. It started to rain outside instantly thundering.

"Oh my gosh I am already having flashbacks from my childhood." I pulled the covers closer to me avoiding looking at the windows with the rain.

"Do you wanna head up there now to go to sleep?"

"Yes please." I got up walking into the kitchen taking my trash and the snacks along with me.

I threw our trash away and put the leftover sushi in a container in the fridge. I put the chips and drinks back into the pantry.

"You know that I could've did that for you right? I was going to put it up." he was in the kitchen with his placed on the marble island

"Well I don't mind doing it also, plus I was hoping it will make me more sleepier." he chuckled removing his hands and walking towards me

I couldn't put the pretzels back, he puts them in a high spot in his house, which is not convenient for me.

"Your so fucking short."

"Fuck you T."

"I would love that."

We walked upstairs and entered his room. I'd been up here numerous times, so I wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor or the bean bag chair.

"I'll sleep on the floor Miracle you can have the bed."

"Ok, you said it not me." (I really hope y'all remover this vine reference lol)

I laid down on the bed getting comfortable under the covers. Tyler grabbed him a pillow off the bed and a blanket from the closet.

.

I woke up out of my sleep being scared from the lightning that struck, I looked around realizing that the lights were out.

I leaned over looking on the side of the bed sleeping peacefully on the floor. I don't want to wake him up, but I also definitely can't sleep alone now.

"T, Tyler. T get up." I shook his body making him stir in his sleep

"I'm up. I'm up."

"Are you okay." he rubbed his eyes looking at me

"No can you sleep with me?"

"Alright let me get up first."

He used his phone as a light since the power was put. I watched him as he folded his blankets, putting them away in the closet.

I was sitting up now looking as the rain hit the windows. I heard his feet creek across the wooden floors as he got into bed along with me.

We laid down for a good 10 minutes, T was already falling asleep again. The lighting struck outside the house again, I snuggled into Tyler getting comfortable enough to sleep.
