I woke up early and I decided to go get Reed a glass of water to put next to her head if she had a headache.
I walked into her room quietly, and put it next to her. I knead down, and placed my face in front of hers. I placed me hand on her cheek, and caressed it. I got to remember how it felt to look at her all those years back. So angelic, so beautiful, so-
"Jade?" She said in a sleepy voice
I froze, and quickly took my hand back.
She leaned up, and I got up to.
"Fuck!" She said, and rubbed her temples in pain "where the hell am I?"
"My apartment"
"Why?"
"Oh- uh you were um drunk" I said in a low voice
"What? I can't hear you"
"You were drunk" I said in a lower voice
"Jade-"
"Reed you were drunk!" And looked away uncomfortable
"Oh" she said, and looked down.
"Here" I said, leaning over, and giving her water.
She drank it, and rubbed her face.
"Do you have any medicine, Tylenol, Motrin?"
I walked to my bathroom, and quickly got Motrin then returned.
"How bad is it?" I asked
"Uh 7"
I handed her the needed amount for her pain, and watched her take it.
"Reed why were you out like that, what if something happened to you?" I asked, and looked her in the eyes
She gave me back a cold serious stare
"Jade you know why" she said starting to get up
"Reed I'm sorry, I just-"
"No Jade not right now I can't think straight I'll say something I'll regret."
I looked down, and tears started to well in my eyes
"Reed-"
"Jade I told you already-"
"Reed I don't care if what you will say will hurt me! You were drunk, came up to me from the behind, and grabbed me! What if someone thought you were some I don't know gropper or something?!"
"What?"
"Reed you came up behind me, and grabbed me"
She looked down, and balled her fists.
"Jade I'm sorry-"
"Reed, I'm not mad about that! You could have gotten hurt. Please don't do it anymore." I said, and walked up to her
I hugged her tightly, and she shockingly hugged me back instantly. I missed being in her arms, dating or not. It just feels right in her arms.
I broke the hug when I realized how long I was hugging her, and she instantly pulled me back in.
"Please Jade, don't let me go ever again, please." She said, and hugged me tighter.
My hands rested on her waist before hugging it.
A couple minutes later, I convinced her to come sit do with me in the living room to chat. We sat down, and stared at each other a little bit before we spoke
"How have you been?" She asked
"I mean I've been okay not the best, but okay, you?"
"Same... how's Cameron do you still talk to her how has she been?"
