" It has taken everything in me these past few months to stay away from her. My obsession with her is insufferable, even for me.
As days went on I longed to be near her, but my shadows would drown her light and all I ever wanted...

All night I couldn't stop thinking about the funny feelings I got when I was around Abyss, and how nice he was for treating my wounds. Like Erebus...
I am so clumsy. What would I do if no one was around to tend to me?
Useless.
I know.
Throwing on another sweater I make sure my bedroom window is open so that Gully can fly out and leave if he needs to.
I don't want him to leave, but I'm hoping if he does, to hunt or go potty, he'll come back to me. He was a perfect cuddle buddy last night.
I watch him cuddle up with Mr. Cuddles on my bed and I can't help but smile. Such cuties.
I race to class so I'm not late, making sure to avoid getting run over in the process.
I take my usual seat in creature history and wait till class starts.
While sitting down and fiddling with my fingers I see someone sit next to me. I look up only to make eye contact with Abyss. He gives me a soft smile that makes me freeze for a second.
He's so pretty.
Wait why is he sitting here? Does he pity me now? This is so uncomfortable I hope he leaves. I know he doesn't like me but maybe after last night, he feels like he needs to be nice to me or something.
But I don't want pity. I'm too stupid and after a while, I'll think he wants to be friends, then when he leaves it'll hurt all over again.
Well, not this time. I'll show momma I'm street smart.
I'll just ignore him all class, I know it's mean but it's for the best, for both of us.

When class is over I begin to pack my things into my small bag, I hoist it up on my shoulder and take a step before I realize someone is blocking my way. Abyss.
"Let's go get some lunch." He says before turning around and walking away leaving me stunned.
Did he just say that? Was it directed to me? Was that an invitation? No no no it couldn't be.
However, when Abyss reaches the classroom door he looks at me over his shoulder giving me a 'well are you coming?' look, before walking out the door.
I'm quick to jog after him. Curse his long legs. Catching up to him. I have to dodge people in the crowded hallway, something he appears to not struggle with. The students seem to make a path for him.
Once I lose him a few times in the crowd I decide to grip onto the hem of his sweater so I don't get lost.
I really hope he doesn't hit me for touching him. Or change his mind about letting me join him for lunch.
Shyly, I look up only to see him staring down at me again with a small smile. Does that mean it's okay?
