Run to You

Chapter 5

Love in the dark- Adele

Chapter 5

I turn my keys to open the door, I feel exhausted though I didn't even do half as much work I'm used to...someone's probably playing with my mind just like they're playing with my heart

I plop onto my bed and my stomach churns in hunger.

Dragging my feet from the bed, I make my way to the kitchen just to drink some water and refresh my mind because it's throbbing at the moment, what's wrong with me? I question myself but it shrugs off somehow...

I open my hair as it falls down to my back, I take off the awful blazer that adds weight to me,

 I manage to take some washed clothes from my closet and walk to the bathroom just to feel the cold water splash through my skin. 

It's august and the chilly air still hasn't settled in, might just have to wait until October for that,

I close my eyes and feel the water brush away my thoughts, 

I don't notice the few tears slipping out of my eyes as I close them, my legs shiver and I can't conceive the strength to pull myself together as I fall on the concrete floor,

 my hair's all wet and so is my face.

My head falls as all I can feel are my tears flowing down one by one.

I never used to cry, but look at me now.

"Are you okay" is the first thing he asks after not having seen me anywhere for two days, it's not rare for someone to cut off contact for the period of two days but I guess this is just how it is with him.

His frown disappears with the entrance of my faint smile. He shakes his head and his hair bounces and I completely fail to notice that the highlights are gone and it's a shade of mint. 

I refuse to compliment anything about him right now-

"You changed your hair" oh well I don't look at him but a frown appears because I miss his black hair with highlights...

He looks at me with a knowing look but then just nods, "Thank you, but I believe I asked a question first"

Now that he says it, I never intended to dodge his question and compliment him out of the blue, "I'm okay" I say with an assuring smile and he asks nothing more.

We stare at each other as time flies by, I don't even feel it but the eyes of his fall upon me, and my heart naturally skips a beat, 

I don't think it's the same for him, it can't be and thus thoughts fill my mind... just as I'm about to look away cause my eyes may start bleeding if I keep this up.

-his fingertips touch mine and I look up, it's not the first time nor is it as intimate as times before but this, this feels different... I want to pull away but I can't.
