Slow Motion

•Sad Thoughts•

When we reach my apartment he follows me in. I put down my purse that I for some reason brought and the sit down on one of my stools.
The calm boy takes a seat next to me. I turn my stool so that I'm facing him.
"What now?" I ask

"I don't know we could um hmm" he says thinking. I ponder over what to do until he shouts.
"Bracelets"

"Bracelets, you mean like you want to make them?" I question unsure of what he was thinking. He nods his head and I hop off my chair. I have a bunch of beads and thread from when I used to make jewelry and sell it for extra cash.
I pull it off my top shelf in my closet and bring it out to the kitchen.
"Your lucky I have this shit" I say shaking my head a little. I set it all down and sit back in my stool.
"I'm going to make you one if that's okay" I caution.
"Okay yeah I was actually going to make you one" he remarks face tinting pink. I smile at him which just makes his cheeks more red.
I pick out black string along with grey, white and two different colored green beads. I make and estimate on how big his wrist is and then begin to braid the thread and tack on my beads. I glance over at what he was doing with his bracelet. He so far had just begun a regular single row beaded bracelet. It was simple but still adorable. I look back to mine and continue to work on it.

It's about half and hour before I finish mine but he had finished his in 5 minutes so he made me a whole stack of different ones. My favorite one that he had made however was one that said sweet and had clear pink and purple beads. I hand him over his one bracelet and he hands me over my handful of them.
"How did you do this it's so cool" he exclaims sliding it in his wrist. It's a little big but I don't think he cares to much because he throws his arms around me and pulls me into a hug. He sure loves hugs I think to myself as I snake my arms around him. We stay in the each other's arms for a minute before both letting go.
"I love all my bracelets thank you" I grin at him. "Your welcome they are not near as cool as the one you made me though" he say looking down at his. "I don't care they are amazing to me" I tell him honestly.

We are done making jewelry so I haul of the stuff back to my closet and meet him in the living room. He slouching into the couch and staring at his phone with a disappointed face.
"What's wrong?" I ask taking a seat next to him.
"It's nothing I just got rid of all the pictures of me and her" he utters still staring down.

"I know it's hard but I promise, your going to be ok" I assure him. He sighs and puts his phone back in his pocket. All the happiness that shone from with in him now gone and replaced with sadness.
"I'm sorry" I mumble putting my head in my hands. I really hoped I could fill the void in his heart however it was just like slapping a bandage on it. It was never going to be completely healed until someone else came along.
"What are you sorry for?" He asks leaning down towards me. I try not to let the tears that were filling my eyes fall however I fail and a few tears slide down my cheeks. "I'm sorry for not being able to help. I thought I could mend you heart but I can't" I explain lift my head up from my hands. Tears fill his eyes as well and he take a shake breath before talking.
"You do help, more than you even know. You make me forget about her and wash away all my sadness. I can't seem to not smile when I'm with you and just so you know you have bandaged my heart up pretty damn well"

I wipe the tears from my eyes and then I wipe away the tears that had fallen down his face. He grabs my hand as I go to pull it away from his face. He drops our hands in-between us and I continue to hold onto his. This is definitely not what I though was going to happen after all the fun we had making bracelets and at the playground.
"I need to know something and I need you to answer honestly" he starts.

"Okay..." I say nervous after what had just happened.

"Did you ever feel a spark between us when you know..." he asks looking me straight in the eyes.

"Yeah I did, I felt electricity run though my body and firework light off inside me. I didn't want to say anything about it though because you had just been broken up with hours before" I explain feeling embarrassed.

"Oh, well just so you know I felt it too" He adds as he begins to run his thumb over the back of my hand. I give him a slight smile and move closer to him to grab the remotes off the coffee table. I slouch into the couch and he does the same. I lean my head against his shoulder and put on bones once again. It was only around 2pm but my eyes felt heavy and I accidentally began to drift off...

An: short chapter for today as it's more of a filler but next chapter will be longer and more eventful :)
