Kill To Love

Broken hearts

We went to a restaurant where it was open for 24 hours, all day, every day. Daniel held me close in his arms, and kept me warm in his arms.
When we opened the door, we were met with a ding and the person at the till smiled at us tiredly.
"Good evening, how are you?", he asked.
Daniel pointed at me and the man gasped.
"What can I give you? Something strong for the girl?", he asked, politely.
I shook my head.
"No. She would just like black coffee, nothing too bad.", and he ordered his drink before we took a seat.
We sat on the couch-like seats, next to each other, he held me tight in his arms.
"What was he doing?", he asked me.
"Patricia.", was my answer and he knew what I meant.
After five minutes our drinks came, and Daniel passed me mine. I sat up and held cup in my hands, the warmth spreading across my body. I took a small sip and rested my head against his shoulder again, the warm paper cup in my hands still.

After I finished my drink, I was able to sit on my own. Daniel was watching me carefully, sending concerned glances my way.
"Done?", he asked, finishing off his own drink.
I nodded silently and checked the time on my phone, it was eleven, meaning the party was finished.
The same man at the till came and took our drinks before we payed.
Once we got outside, Daniel grabbed my hand and we got back onto the bus. I didn't even know where we were going so I just followed him. I realised that we were in a train station, but I didn't even say anything and let him take me wherever he wanted.

The bright lights of the train pulling up made my eyes go blind for a second. It was like I was dying, and to be honest that would have been better. Daniel dragged me on the train. He pushed past the people who were heading to work and at the back corner he found a lone seat. He placed me there and stood in front of me.
I stared at his body the whole time, not really taking in the sight. My mind was replaying Daryl and Patricia together in the classroom. Sometimes my mind would make other decisions that I should've taken but I didn't.

I grabbed Julie's hand and got out of the train. My heart ached for her, she didn't deserve to see or have been hurt like that. I wished I could do something for her but there wasn't anything I could do, except watch her crumble to the floor and help her in the process. I sighed deeply and we went to my flat. It was, as usual, dirty and music was blaring from one of the houses. I guess they were having a party.
Unlocking the door, we went inside and Adam was watching TV. I snuck her upstairs, into my bedroom.
"I'm going to leave now, you need to get undressed and sleep. Okay? I'll back soon.", I smiled and placed a pile of my clothes for her to wear. After that, I left the room and went downstairs. Adam was sitting on the couch, staring at the TV. He was watching a show on Netflix but I didn't know what it was so I just switched my phone on.
"Hey, Daniel.", he said, pausing the show.
"Hi.", I replied, not taking my eyes off my screen.
"How was the party?", he asked, curios.
"Fine.", I said quietly.
"What did you do?"
"Stuff," I said and closed my phone, "I'm going to bed. Night."
Adam nodded and continued watching whatever he was watching.
Quickly, I want upstairs, and knocked on the door.
There was a quiet moan from inside and I opened the door. Julie was fast asleep. Silently, I shut the door behind me and went to my closet. I threw my clothes on the hangers and slipped my shirt off.
I turned to look at Julie, I felt bad for what happened that night. I sighed and took my jeans off and changed into my pyjama trousers. Usually I slept naked but Julie was in my bed so I had to wear something so she didn't feel uncomfortable.
♡◇♡◇♡◇
I woke up to a loud groaning sound and sniffling next to me. Julie was stretching her arms and when she finished, she looked at me. Julie gasped quietly and three the covers over her and then she gasped again and uncovered herself into the open again.
"Umm, so you're not wearing a shirt.", she asked, rubbing her eyes.
I chuckled, "You like what you see?"
She huffed and rolled to face me, our lips inches away from each others. I smiled and she smiled back.
"My head hurts.", she faced away from me and sat up, holding her forehead.
"Wait here.", I got up.
I went downstairs and from the cupboard in the kitchen I grabbed a pill and a cup of water from the bottle.
Sitting at the top of the stairs was Adam.
"Morning.", he said.
"Hi."
His eye brows raised at the medicine in my hand, "Who are those for?"
"Oh. Umm...there for me. Yeah, my head hurts."
Adam nodded and got up, letting me go to my room. I stood in front of it, waiting for him to go but he stood there, expectantly.
"What?", I asked.
"I need to get something from your room.", he pointed.
"Oh, I'll get it. What is it?"
"Nah, I'll get it myself.", he said and pushed past me. He opened the door, and when he saw Julie sitting on my bed, he gasped.
"Woah! Why is she here?", he smirked.
"Just... go Adam, I'll get whatever you want.", I sighed and handed Julie the medicine. She seemed slightly scared at Adams presence but I rubbed her back, and that seemed to help her.
"Was she here all night?"
I nodded and rubbed my face with my hand, tired.
