17/It's sweet and tastes like fruit.

I rub my eyes and lift up my back and stretch as I wake up. Then I blink, and blink again and boom that's when I realize I'm in Hero's room." I sit up and he's shirtless sleeping right next to me with his arm laying out as I was laying on him. I then lean over him as his phones laying on the dresser, I tap it and see the time is 4 am. It's still dark outside. God dammit. I am so mad at myself for so many reasons. How could I stay here with him for that long, and how could I feel so comfortable and safe with him last night. I don't get it. It's like... I care about him a little bit. I don't want to admit it but it's coming to that point. I then pull my phone out of my hoodie pocket and there's no messages. Nothing from my parents... werid.

Do I wake him or go back to sleep. I just yawn then he squirms next to me and then i see him lay back and blink and blink again and rub his eyes and runs his hand through his hair and I turn to look at him as I'm sitting up. "Oh fuck," he says and groans sitting up and turning his lamp on. "I forgot to wake you up, dammit." he says and I shake my head. "I woke up anyways, it's four am." I say and he nods slowly and leans back against the headboard. "My parents haven't even texted me." I say and he raises his eyebrow. "Really?" he says.

I nod, "Well then come back here and lay with me. We have two more hours till we have to be up." he says and lays back down and pats next to him. Do I do it?

"I don't know.." I say.

"What's it gonna hurt if you lay back down with me for two hours then I take you to your house to get changed and I drive us to school." he says and my eyes go wide. Is he crazy? "We can pull it off. They haven't even texted you they more than likely  think you're sleeping upstairs." he says.

I really should. I'd love to spend more time in this moment with him, just I don't know if I can.

"Come on, Jo." he says and I sigh. "I like sleeping with someone next to me come on," he says and I scoff, "Like you haven't slept with or spent the night with another girl before." I roll my eyes and laugh.

"Uh, I haven't." he says and I raise my eyebrow and look at him. "What?" I say.

There's no way in hell..

"I don't let another girl sleep in my bed or anything like a cuddle or that stupid shit ever with me. No way in hell. We fuck, she leaves and I sleep peacefully in my bed by myself." he says and wow. So I'm the first girl he's actually layed with, without a sexual encounter? Wow, okay. "So you're the first. So now lay back down with me." he says.

I just shake my head and lay back down and he opens his arm for me to lay in his chest. "Something wrong?" he asks and I look up at him as he is covering the blanket over us. "I just don't believe you've never layed with another girl like this." I shake my head into his chest.

He just sighs, "I guess.. uh.. you're just something different langford." he says and it makes my heart flutter, seriously. "I'm flattered." I say and he squeezes my hip. "Go to sleep." he says. "Don't mention that I said that  ever again." he adds and I laugh. "I definitely will." I say and then he laughs as I doze off into his arms and he turns his lamp off.

"Jo." I hear Hero groan shaking my hip slightly as his arms wrapped around me and I stretch into his chest. "What time is it?" I ask. "six ten. Come on I gotta get you home." he shakes me again. I quickly sit up and take my hair out of the small back bun I had it in. I didn't mean to sleep like that. I stand up and look in the mirror above his dresser and it's all wavy. It doesn't even look bad. "I've never seen you in just like a hoodie and leggings. You're always wearing a skirt or a nice top." he says and I sigh putting my shoes back on. "I know, I would wear this more often if I could." I say.

"Parents?" he asks as he is changing and I look at him as he is putting on a new black shirt. "Yep." I sigh and lean back on the couch staring at the ceiling. "You still tired?" he laughs and I sit up to look at him and he's about to change his pants and boxers and I quickly place my hands over my face and lean back. "Gosh, a warning would of been nice!" I say and he laughs. "Well my black jeans are on so your good to look at me now." he says and I sigh standing up.
