Slow Motion

•Blowout•

That night I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened. I had made a leap of faith and a stupid decision. He was still recovering from his break up and then I came in and blew up his world, wreaking havoc within his mind. I should have just kept to myself but I didn't and now things are probably going to be awkward.
I roll out of bed at the beautiful time of 1PM with only about a good 4 hours of sleep in me. Beauty sleep my ass I think as I stumble my way to the fridge to grab a drink. I get a water taking a few sips of it before setting the bottle on the counter and going back to my room.
I was tired and bored but my brilliant brain gave me the perfect idea when I glanced over to my shelf. I could head down to the record shop.

I pick out a lazy outfit and put it on not really thinking.I don't even bother to fix my braided hair I just brush my teeth and head for my front door.
"Oh hey?" A slightly confused voice says from behind me as I lock my door. I turn around and am met with the person I wanted to avoid right now.
"Hey" I say giving a fake smile and a small wave. "I was just going to head downtown" I say explaining my actions.

"Not to be that person but would you mind if I tagged along? I have nothing better to do" he remarks gesturing to his foot that was wrapped in a big grey boot.
"Of course not" I reply feeling the dread wash over me. Fucking great just when I wanted to be without him.
"Cool" he smiles gliding down the hallway after me on his crutches. We take the elevator and head to my car as there was no way he would be able to hobble his way downtown. I open his door for him and he slides himself into the passenger seat putting his crutches next to him. I then walk over to my side getting in and starting the car.
Today was off to a rough start.

When we reach the small shop I hop out off the car forgetting to help Taylor. "I only remember because he calls a loud "wait!" As I reach the door. I feel guilty for leaving him and run back to help. I didn't even want to talk to him today but I didn't really have another choice. I give him a hand out of the car and he mumbles a "Thanks" as he crutches towards the door. I beat him to it and open it for him. He gives me a smile but it's not genuine. When he's no longer in front of me I let my face fall into a frown. He knows I don't want to hang out with him.

I sigh and browse through the bins. So far I had found absolutely nothing which was odd but whatever. I reach the last bin in record time because nothing is standing out to me. I don't know if it's my mood or if the bins really have nothing. I just feel sad and frustrated at the same time and to make matters worse I don't know how to fix the problem that I created.
  I look through the cds but only find 1 that I like. I pay for it and walk around the store over to Taylor. He is looking at a 5sos record and appears to be debating whether to buy it or not.
"That album is great" I utter startling him. "Uh yeah it is" he replies swinging it over to under he arm. He then brushes past me and walks up to the register to pay for it. I shrug off his cold actions and head for the door waiting for him.
When we get in my car I don't move instead I sit frozen in thought for a moment before asking "Did I ruin our friendship?"
He doesn't answer at first instead he brushes away a tear that has fallen from his eye. "No I just don't understand what I did wrong. You have been giving me the cold shoulder since we left the parking lot!" he explains turning to me, frustration filling his eyes.
"I have been giving you it because I messed everything up last night I did something stupid and now I'm mad at myself and taking it out on you" I cry as tears slide down my face.
"You didn't do something stupid I did I told you I didn't know if I had moved on. When in fact I had, with you but I didn't know how to tell you that causing this" he says gesturing to both of us. I put my head into my hands and just let the tears continue to fall. I had caused the boy I liked to be mad at me over something stupid and now I didn't know what to do.

A hand is placed on my back and I lift my head out of my hands. He looks at me with red eyes and leans over the gear shift grabbing my hand. I don't know why he is being nice to me after I was nothing but a bitch to him but that question is answered when he tells me. "Flynn, your amazing in every way I'm the one that fucked it up by letting you think YOU messed up" he coaxes calming me down and explain why he was upset. "It's okay we were both in the wrong at one point or another" I sniffle  giving him a weak smile. He then leans over the console planting a kiss on my forehead. "Did that help?" He asks looking a little happier.
"Mmh it did" I answer giving his hand a squeeze. I then turn the key over and pull out the parking lot towards home,where I needed to be...

An: so I may or may not be working on another book 😏 but the thing is I don't know if I'm going to publish it while I'm still working on this book or wait till it's over, which will be somewhat soon :)
