WALLFLOWER // B.E

i let out a low groan as i woke up. almost immediately, i felt my head pounding. i whined as i buried my head into michael's chest, who was still sound asleep beside me.

i shouldn't have drank so much.

i laid there for a moment with a prominent pout on my lips. i thought back to last night, and i played it over in my head.

oh, fuck.

fuck.

fuck.

fuck.

i immediately rolled over, and i looked around for my phone. my head was still pounding, but that was the least of my worries right now. once i found my phone, i went to mine and juniper's messages.

iMessages
junie <3

hey
can we please talk about last night?
i'm sorry

.

i stared at the small delivered under my message for a while.

it's almost two p.m. she's definitely up by now, and i'm sure she's on her phone, or at least near it.

i pressed my nails into the palm of my hand as i still continued to stare at my screen. i was debating on sending her another text, until mikey woke up.

"lay back down," he whined. "i wanna cuddle."

"no. i'm not— junie is mad at me," i blurted.

his brows furrowed. "yeah, no shit. i would be too if i was her."

"you're not helping," i frowned. "what do i do?"

he paused for a few seconds as he stared at me blankly. "now... why did you think asking me for advice would get you anywhere? especially relationship advice."

"this isn't relationship advice though."

"so, you and junie are just friends?" he sent me a look.

"yeah..?"

he scoffed. "the way she was looking at you last night and the way she acted, says otherwise, but okay."

"i mean... technically, we're only friends, but we're, like... more than friends, at the same time. i think. i don't know... i don't know what we are. i don't even know what she wants, but i want more, and—"

"billie, please, i love you, so much, but i can't handle your rambling right now. my head is pounding, and i feel like death," he stopped my rambling.

i frowned, and i pressed my nails into my palm again. he, of course, noticed and he frowned too. he took my hand in his, and he interlaced our fingers as he looked up at me. "hey, calm down, b. it's okay; you can ramble all you want once i actually get up and my headache goes away. i promise."

i let out a sigh. "okay," i mumbled. i brought our hands up, and i kissed his knuckles. "i love you."

he smiled. "i love you too; even if you don't think sometimes, and you do stupid shit. you're my best friend, always."

i let out a small laugh, and i squeezed his hand. "always."

he sat up, and he kissed my forehead. i then ruffled his hair before i got up to go get us some painkillers for our headaches. on the way to get it, i was stopped by finneas.

"well, good morning, sleepyhead," finny gave a shit eating grin.

i narrowed my eyes as i looked up at him. i then let out a small breath. "i have to get mikey some medicine real quick, but after, i have so much to tell you. i really need your help."
