Your eyes were drooping now, but you were still alert. Wide awake. Your mom had texted you that your father had gotten another seizure, and you panicked. See, now being the only daughter in the family, you had to make sure nobody else panicked. So, you tried to calm your mum down as your own cheeks were stained with tears, which were not stopping to roll down.
You slightly hit the window as your lip quivered a bit. Why wasn't the traffic moving? "Fuck!"You hated this. It felt like you couldn't do anything, you hated feeling like that. It did not help your anxiety. You were becoming nervous and nervous by the minute and the fact that you also had the bad memories here was worse. You knew how hard it was going to be, considering some stuff.
You breathed, as the traffic started to move again.
Your heartbeat started to rise as you still hadn't heard anything from your mom. You started to tap your feet constantly, and your mind went to the consequences of coming here.
You were going to live next to the person you didn't want to see the most.
How ironic.
Will he try to talk to me? Or will he ignore me? You don't even know if he's still here. You sighed as you realized that he never really liked this town. Or maybe it was just because of you. You rolled your eyes at that. Then maybe he's really enjoying his time in your town. You looked outside the window, and saw the lake that extended up till your part of the town. You remembered how you used to watch the ducks swim by every time you went to school. Why did you exactly leave the place again? It was paradise.
Ah.
You quickly averted your gaze. You didn't want to think of that.
You sat up straighter; and wiped your cheeks. "Can you turn the radio on?"
"Sure, mam." You slightly smiled at his southern accent.
You sighed and put on a weak smile on. "Climb on board,
We'll go slow and high tempo
Light and dark
You hummed along and closed your eyes. "Hold me dark and mellow
I'm seeing the pain and seeing the pleasure
Nobody but you, 'body but me, 'body but us
Tears fell slowly from your eyes, and you let them flow. It was a humane thing to do, it was what made you human.
Bodies together
.....
"Hey, you okay?" You asked him. He looked unusually tense, all week. You were concerned about him; but didn't want to pry. But this was making you worry too much. You looked at him. He looked pale, and his eyes were tired. Exhausted.
"What do you want?" He asked, harshly.
"Um," You played with your fingers. "You look sick, you haven't really eaten anything for the past days-"
"So what? You're so obsessed, god! You're noting my behavior now?"
"I was just worried," Your voice became low. "I mean, you haven't exactly been as cheerful as you always has been and-"
"Oh, like you know me? You don't know anything about me! Stop!" You tensed, your shoulders flinching. Maybe, you had gone too far. "I'm sorry." You whispered lightly, "Are you okay? I'm always here to talk, you know." Your eyes softened as you kept your gaze on his figure. "Is it the tests or the exams? I mean, I understand-"
