My eyes flutter open adjusting to the morning light. I notice my dad isn't screaming at me, I'm not even in my own room. Where am I? I feel a weight on my waist. I look down to see an arm on it, who the hell!? I turn my head to see blue hair covering a face. Sal, it's only Sal. I look at his sleeping figure smiling. He was so kind to me yesterday, opening his apartment for me, taking care of me. He's amazing, he truly is. I feel him stirring. "Good morning." I hear a deep voice, god his tired voice is so attractive. Y/N shut up! He's your friend! "Morning! How did you sleep?" You ask him. "Good, how did you sleep?" You smile at him. "Really good actually." You realise his arm is still wrapped around your waist. You look down and he notices too. He pulls away which makes you kind of sad, you like having his arm there. "I'm so sorry!" He said embarrassed. "No, no it's okay! Don't worry." You smile at him again. "You... uh... didn't see my face at all right?" He says still with his hair covering his face. "No I didn't I promise. I was going to move your hair to make it more comfortable for you but I knew you were insecure and so I chose not to." You grabbed his mask for him so he would have to lay with his hair covering his face. "Thanks..." "You're welcome." You year 2 clicks indicating he put his mask on. You smile again this time seeing his mask shift, he was smiling back.

You both had gotten out of bed and Sal started making breakfast. You decide to start conversation. "So do you live alone?" Sals back is facing you while he makes eggs. "Uh... no um... I live with my dad but he is rarely home. I never really see him." His voice sounds almost destructed. "Sal I'm so sorry...-" He cuts you off. "Don't be, at least my dad doesn't abuse me. I'm thankful for that. So I'm sorry." You look down. "Sal please don't apologise, it's not your fault. In all honestly I blame my mother." Sal stops mixing around the eggs and looks at you. "What do you mean?" You never really opened up to people easy but you knew you could trust Sal. "My mother passed away by suicide. I blame her because regardless on her mental health she knew if she did what she did that I would be living with him. And yet she still chose to put me in danger instead of trying to get help... I fear abandonment Sal... Everyone who I have ever loved has either taken their own life or walked out on me. Everyone who has said they will never leave have done the exact opposite. You tear up. Sal turns off the stove and walks over to you. "Y/N I am so sorry... l will never leave. And that is a promise. I keep my promises. I know what that's like. Imagine wearing a mask everyday. People who would tell me they love and care about me would soon turn their back on me." You hug Sal. "Well, we have each other and I will never turn my back on you. Not after what you have done for me."

You both get dressed for the day and decide to go and hang with Larry. You both open up the door of his room to see him painting. You see a girl with H/L (Hair length) H/C (Hair colour) and Sal with then someone who looks like Larry all sitting together looking at the stars. You realised it was the three of you. "Lar, that looks amazing!" You say with a bright smile on your face. Larry jumps and turns around seeing you and Sal standing there. He is clearly embarrassed. "Shit I wasn't expecting you two to come. Sorry I know this may look creepy but ah..." You walk over and pat his shoulder. "It doesn't look creepy Larry, it looks really cool! It's such a cute idea. Thankyou." He hugs you both. "Thanks dudes. I didn't want to seem creepy." "You're not being creepy dude. Like Y/N said, it's really sweet."
You all continue to hangout, laugh and fuck around. You loved these guys so much. They were your best friends after all. You wish it could be more with the other.

Ooooh who is she talking about??? Sal? Or Larry???
