Gone for days (complete)

Chapter Six: Questions

JE's POV-------=======-------________--------=======-------_________-------
"Finally get to see my face"
She smiled up at me. She looked like shed Been crying. For days.
She was so drowsy and tired looking.

Gorgeous

The only word I could use to describe her. Even In her sleep deprived, puffy eyed state.
"why do you hide it?"

Noelle's POV -------=======-------________--------=======-------_______---
Why do I hide it????? Does she not see me? I'm fat as fuck and look like shit.  I'm nothing as good looking as her.

"NOELLE. Who's at the DOOR?" My mother screamed
"Shit stay quiet" I whispered to JE.
"NOONE MOM. JUST A PACKAGE I ORDERED."
No response. I assumed she didn't care.
"Shhh. My rooms upstairs I'll take your suitcase. How'd you Get here??!?" I whispered.
"Taxis are real things Noelle." She whispered snickering.
"Hey!" I harshly whispered giggling. "don't use my words against me!!!" I playfully scolded.
We walked up the stairs. Two flights. I lived in the attic. My mother just preferred to forget im real.

Noelle's POV
After a couple hours of just chatting. We just kind of fell into silence. Never using our phones. To excited to use our phones.
"You never answered my question" JE spoke. "Why do you hide your face?"

I can't tell her. She won't get it. She'll laugh. Tell me its all true.

"I prefer to have my privacy." I said simply.
I was looking down at my blanket. Making circles in it. When I looked up I saw JE looking at me a look of concern and hope had filled her face where the glittering smile once was.
"Are you okay? You seem to need some sleep."
I slammed my palm against my forehead and looked at her.
"Gah! Your jet lagged from new York and your tired. Lets get some sleep okay?"
I realized something.
"Umm would you like my bed? I can sleep on the floor."
"Oh no its fine."

Or we could share my bed??

And before I knew it the words just rolled out of my mouth.
"Or we could share my bed???"
She looked at me and gave me a small but perceptible smile.
"Sure."
My face legitimately had to have untensed itself. I had just about messed up.

As we crawled into my bed. Facing away from each other I turned out the light.
Before I fell asleep I could hear JE shifting to face me.
"Night Noelle."
The corners of my mouth turned up. And I fell asleep smiling.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I awoke nothing was wrong.
But someone's arms were wrapped around me.
I turned over slightly so as not to disturb them.
And it was JE.
I didn't know whether to be relived or terrified.

Why was she cuddling me?!

But I looked on the brighter side.
My crush was cuddling me.
"Hmm?"
"mornin JE. How was your sleep?"
She looked up at me and giggled.
"Hi there Reaper."

Reaper

She looked at my eyes. Inevitably I did the same to her. But my stupid self just had to study her lips.
Her LIPS.
She realized she was holding my waist and let go.
Immediately I was filled with a sense of longing.

What the Hell she is your best friend. STOP.

But it was so hard not to think about her every moment of everyday. She just so...

Perfect

She rushed out of my bed.
"I am so sorry!" She said. "I'm so sorry that was so awkward I'm just used to sleeping cuddled up next to-" she stopped herself.

Boyfriend.

I dreaded to hear her say the words but kept going.
"cuddled up with what?"
"The biggest pillow I can find." She said.
I almost sighed with relief.
"What?"

I thought you were gonna say boyfriend.

"Figured I might ask. Do you have a boyfriend?"
