Sleepover

(modern setting, age 16)

Gabis POV:

Today has been absolute ass. I just wanted it to be over. First off I woke up to no one in the house, and a note on the fridge saying "We'll be back in a few day" with no explanation. There's no food in the house, the washing machine is broken and I stubbed my toe, ON THE FUCKING WALL! My bath was too cold, my toast was burnt, I even dropped a glass.. this was fucking hell.

I could call someone, maybe crash at their house for the night. I didn't want to bother anyone though, especially since I'm in a TERRIBLE mood.

I was just going to suck it up until I heard my phone ring. It was Falco.

"Hey Falco, what's up?"

It was silent for a while.

"I just wanted to check on you. I haven't heard from you all day and I was kind of worried.. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you though."

I smiled to myself. He was so weird sometimes.

"I'm actually so happy you called me. Today has been an absolute bitch! I just want it to be over."

I could hear him moving around on the other end.

"Well, you're always welcome to come over if you need too. My brother's the only one here right now, so you don't have to worry about my parents being annoying or anything."

I was actually so happy to hear him say that.

"I'd actually really like that. Would it be okay if I slept over as well? My parents aren't here, and I have no clue when they'll be back. It gets pretty lonely here."

It was silent once again.

"O-oh, yeah of course! Want me to come pick you up? I can get there pretty quickly. I don't want you to have to carry everything all the way over here."

He was so nice to me, it always put a smile on my face even being able to talk to him.

"Yeah that'd be nice. I'm a strong girl though, so I'm only accepting this offer because you offered, got that Mister?"

I heard him laugh. It was adorable.

"Yes Ma'am! I know you don't need the help, don't worry. I'll be over soon though! Let me just get my shoes on and I'll be over! Bye Gabi, see you soon!"

As soon as he hung up, I got straight to packing. I'd definitely need some extra clothes, a toothbrush, a hairbrush, some deodorant, my phone, and charger. I'd also throw anything else I might need in my bag as well, just in case. I wasn't sure how long I'd stay, probably as long as he'll let me.

I then heard the door bell ring, and quickly picked up my bag and ran downstairs. I then put on my shoes and coat and opened the door.

"Hey Falco, sorry I probably look like absolute shit right now, so just ignore that."

I mean I wasn't even able to brush my hair this morning, I looked like a mess.

"No! You don't look bad at all! You actually look very pretty.. so you don't have to worry about that at all."

His compliment caught me off guard. It made me feel all warm inside for some reason. I chose to ignore it for now though.

"Well thank you Falco. We should get to your house though, it's like a thousand degrees out here."

He then leaned down to pick up my bags. I didn't need him to carry them both, he's such a show off sometimes, I don't get it.

"Yeah, let's go. Colt will let us in when we get there, and he said he'd make us supper as well!"
