Wait For Me - A Jordan Maron Fanfiction

Who Are You?

halles p.o.v.

I'm scared to death as the door crack slowly opens. The anticipation horrifies me yet makes me anxious. A part of me wants to know who's behind that door, but another part of me wants to keep the secrets hidden.

"Hello?" A guy's voice says quietly, "are you in here?" This mystery persons voice, sounds so familiar.. I can't remember who it is though. I still cannot see his face, but I answer back, "yes."

He opens the door and walks in. I can't see his face because it's pitch black. He turns on the light and see his face. I've never seen this man before. He's wearing a black shirt and green gym shorts. He has a beard with stubble, and can I say he's REALLY cute.

"I know you must be confused, scared, and have no idea why you are here" he started, "please, let me explain." I hesitated for a second before asking, "before we talk, can I please use the bathroom? That's mainly the reason I'm in this closet."

He chuckled, "sure. Let me show you where it is." He giggled as he showed me to the bathroom. As I didn't say a word, for I have no clue who this mystery guy really is.

A few minutes later, I walk out to find him sitting on the couch. He pats on the spot next to him, motioning for me to sit next to him. It takes me longer than normal, because of my sprained ankle.

"So, let's start from the beginning. When you were running from who knows what, you ran into me by accident, and I guess the impact made you knock out. But that's not the worse part, when you fell, you only bruised your ankle, so I bandaged it up. it should be fine to talk on in a few hours. I took you here because, well, it was the closest place I could think of. Oh and by the way my name is Jordan." He explains.

I take a moment to fully comprehend what he said, and after a few seconds, said, "thank you. My name is Halle. Like Halle Berry. That's the way I explain it to everyone because that's how they actually explain it."

Jordan laughs at my comment and asks, "well, Halle, what were you running from?"

"I-um-it's-um" I stutter. "It's um-nothing." I manage to get out. Jordan notices that I look upset and puts his hand on my shoulder. I wince, there being a new bruise there, and his face fills with concern.

"Are you okay??" Jordan asks. My eyes start tearing up at the thought of what happened. A tear rolls down my cheek and he wipes it away. "It's okay if you don't want to explain what happened."

The only thing I managed to say was, "I have no where anymore" I say in between sniffs. He shows an emotion of sadness, which hurt me to see him upset. Why was it making me feel worse? I barely even know the guy!

"You can stay here" Jordan insists.

"I can't make you do that for me" I say. "I just met you and your being so nice and sweet and offering such amazing things."

"I want you too. You said yourself you have nowhere to go. I want you to stay here." He says with a reassuring smile. "Please?"

"Sure." I give in, "is it okay if we go to bed soon? It's like 4 in the morning" I giggle.

"Of course, I'll sleep on the couch tonight and you can sleep on the be-" "um no you're sleeping in your own bed and I'll sleep on the couch." I interrupt.

"I'm not letting you do that, Halle. Your ankle is bruised and you need a comfy place to sleep. Your sleeping on the bed, I'm on the couch."

I playfully punch him in the arm, "Jordan you're really funny, you're in the bed, I'm on the couch."

He punches me in the arm back, "if none of us will sleep in the bed, how are we gonna do this?"

"No idea" I respond. "Before we go to sleep, I haven't watched tv in a long time, can we watch an episode of something? Nothing specific but I just want to watch something."

He stared at me for a second, then responded, "sure! I'll put on a really good one I like." He picked up the remote and picked a show called "The Walking Dead." About 15 minutes after we started watching the show, I started to get drowsy.

Jordan's p.o.v.

After Halle and I started watching the walking dead, I could tell she was about to fall asleep. About 20 minutes later, she was asleep on my shoulder. I lifted her up bridal style, making sure to be very careful of her foot. She snuggled into my chest when I lifted her up.

I took her into the bedroom and placed her into the bed, very gently. I put the covers over her, but not her ankle. I got a soft pillow for her ankle, and put it underneath.

I went around to the other side of the bed, and got under the covers. I turned to Halle and whispered, "goodnight, love" and drowsed off into a deep sleep.
