In My Arms

There was something withen you that strongly beileved in the more sleep the better. So tonights hurricane was especially hard for you. You tossed and turned to no avail. On top of your clouded thoughts you were restless.

The thunder crashed once again rattling the windows of the chatuea. The rain came down hard tapping against the glass. You pulled your pillow over your head with a grunt as a last ditch effort to catch some z's but no luck. You were losing your patience. You lifted yourself up to your elbows throwing your head back in fustration.

When you let your moment of irrataion go you thought about how badly your truly wanted sleep. You looked down the hall way with no understanding of how John b and JJ slept so soundly. You took out your phone turning it on to see the time. It read 3:42 am.

You sighed, finally embracing defeat, so you decided to try other methods. You fought yourself to get up. Scrubbing your tired eyes. You lazily made your way over to the window on the other side of the living room. You grabbed the pipe sitting in the sill, and a lighter, then made your way back to the pull out, dragging your feet behind you.

You plopped down and let out a huff. Crashes of lightning lit up the walls every few seconds. You lifted the pipe to your lips and held the lighter over the bowl, you flicked it a few times until the flame lit and you were burning the green.

The flame lit the pull out a faded orange tint, as you sucked in the smoke. You let the flame go out, as it got dark you watched the weed in the bowl burn. You exhaled your first hit just praying that this would be enough to help you finally go to bed. You sucked in another drag before letting it out. "Plan on sharing?" A voice made you jump.

You whipped your head around barely able to make out the shadowy figure behind you. You knew from his voice it was obviously JJ,  "I thought you went to sleep hours ago?" You gasped after the mini heart attack he gave you. You turned back to bowl taking another hit. Just as he walked around the couch.

"I can barely sleep as a general rule. You think I can sleep during... this?" You felt a weight pulling the matress down next to you as JJ sat. You blew out your puff before handing JJ the pipe and lighter. "Lucky us." You grumbled. JJ snickered. "Hey I mean its better then being the only one awake right?" He pointed out. You nodded though he couldn't see you.

"So what made you want to come out here?" You asked. He flicked the lighter until he was burning the herb in the bowl. The flame lit up his face, you couldn't help but let your sights linger over his features. His eyes looked almost a sea foam green in this lighting. You didn't think about the fact that if you could see him, he could probably see you. He looked up meeting you obvious stare just before he let the flame go out. You looked away trying to play it off. "Uh... no reason." He lied. And badly at that. You were just grateful he didn't point out your momentary lapse of judgment.

"Well I'm going to try and go back to sleep..." you warned him. He sighed. You smelt the weed in the musty air, as he blew out his puff. "Are you kicking me out y/n." You grinned thankful that the dark kept him from seeing your girlish smile. "No.  You can stay, but don't go all Edward on me and watch me sleep or some shit." You laughed.

He chuckled before shifting his weight, you couldn't tell what he was doing untill you felt his hand on your foot. "What the hell are you doing?" You laughed all though you were genuinly curious and on the verge of weirded out. You squirmed a little. "Just trust me?" And resiliently, you did.

He sat your leg over his lap, before leaning down to take the other in his hands. He paused. Another crash of lightning lit the room breifly allowing you to see a grin you were sure he didn't intend for you to see. "I thought you were going to sleep?" You didn't know what was happening or what he was doing, but the slight giggle behind his words had you intruiged to find out.
