Too Close | Topper Thornton x Reader

Chapter 17

I spent the night at Topper's after what happened, we just talked and watched a movie if I remember correctly. 

This time Topper was the one waking up first but I woke up shortly after him because I was feeling him staring at me, I opened my eyes and I was right. "Enjoying the view ?" I asked joking "With you, always" he smiled.

After spending the morning together, I decided to go home. I entered my house, when I closed the door and turned back I saw my mom starring at me "What's wrong with you y/n ?" My mom asked causing me to look at her confused "School just started and you already miss it ?" "I didn't feel good" I said lying "Why didn't you come home then ?" I didn't respond "Stop playing those games with me y/n, you skip school and come home the next day. Are you in trouble ?" "Fine mom, I was with Topper. I'm dating Topper but not that it interest you" "Skipping school for boys ? I though that I raised you better" she said exhausted. "I'm working my ass off for you, for your school and everything you own but you can't even show me some respect" "Mom, not everything is about you" I raised my voice, she approached closer to me before slapping me the hardest she could "You're such a disappointment y/n" I didn't look a her and went to my room before going downstairs again with my backpack "Where do you think you're going ?" she asked but I ignored her before leaving.

I knocked to Topper's hoping he won't be annoyed about it "Hey y/n what's wrong ?" he asked me after he opened the door "Just my mom being annoying" I smiled to him hoping my tears wouldn't come out but they did, he putted his arms around me and hugged me. "Let's go inside" he said wrapping him arm around me, I followed him and we sat on his couch. At this moment Topper felt like the only person I had, Sarah and I were growing apart days by days, my mom was being selfish and I wasn't close to anybody as much as I was with Top. I posed my head on his shoulder "Sorry for coming back" "Don't be, I'm glad you did" he responded while playing with my hair. "I raised my head and putted my hand on his cheek before kissing him, he putted one of is hand on my neck while we kissed. Even after all those days spent with him, I always feel butterflies at his touches. 

This afternoon felt amazing as Topper and I went on his boat to cheer me up, it makes me smile to see him this happy. 

When we returned to his house, my mom was here "We should go back, can we ?" I asked topper while we were still in the car "As much as I'd like you to say you yes, you can't run away from your problems and not certainly your mother" I looked at him exhausted before getting out of the car, my mom ran over to me in the most dramatic way she could "Y/n I was so scared, you can't leave the house like that. Imagine what could've happen, let's go home" she said taking my hands but I didn't move "Mom, I'm fine. I'm with Topper and I'll stay here tonight" "No you can't, look I'm sorry for what happened today and it won't ever happen again. You're my only daughter and I'm just worried about losing you like I lost your dad. You are so precious to me and I want the best for you, I want you to be responsible for when I won't be here anymore" she said almost crying "Don't say that, I'm sorry and I know that skipping school is bad but it doesn't mean that I don't care about my future or don't care about the hard work you do. Of course I care but you can't just treat me like this for what happened, there are other ways" I told her calmly, she looked at Topper then me "You're right, I'm sorry. Come when you're ready, have a good night and you too Thornton" "You can call him Topper" I said laughing before he interrupted me "Actually, she will go home with you" he said smiling politely to my mother, I turned to him "You sure ?" I asked before he nodded telling me it was okay. I told him goodnight and kissed him, then I joined my mom and we went home.

"I'm so sorry y/n" my mom said once we entered the house "It's okay, I already forgot" I said smiling even though I didn't forgot about it and will never. I told her goodnight before going to my room and sleeping.

The rest of the weekend was good, nothing unusual happened.

It was Monday, 12 am and we were all at the cafeteria taking lunch when Topper decided to embarrass himself going up on our table "Y'all know me, I'm Topper Thornton and I have recently been the worst boyfriend ever. My girl there, y/n" he said pointing at me "Well she's the most amazing person I've ever known and she deserves the world. She's beautiful, caring, funny and I love the way she makes me feel when I'm around her " "Topper stop please" I told him embarrassed, he shook his head to say no "I know we are young, we have plenty of time to realize things but I know that I want to spend the rest of myself with you and only you y/n" he said before going down and kissing me, I felt embarrassed for him but at my surprise some people applauded. "I hope you know people won't forget this, like never" I said laughing "Why should they forget about how much I love you?" he asked laughing before putting his arm around me and getting me closer to him.

Topper might not be the most perfect person on earth but he's the only one I love and see myself with forever. He made me realize a lot of things and more important that nothing is ever lost, you could always find a way to fix your relationship by being honest and less selfish and that's what I did with Sarah too. After feeling bad of not seeing her often, I came over to her house and apologized, she did too explaining her reason of why this happened but since this day everything went back to normal, well at least our friendship. 

During those months with Topper, he showed himself extremely caring and sensitive when with me. I always have the most fun I can with him, I never feel bored or annoyed by our conversation and time spend together, this might be what love feels like. I love Topper and I'm proud of how our relationship evolved.
