i scroll down for clay's contact and message him

-------------------------------------

"mum i'm going to clay's, it's urgent" i breathe out in a hurry

"of course, is he alright?" she says

"no," i say leaning to the wall "his mum's in a coma"

"alright," she says "please stay safe"

i nod and run out of the house

i run to clay's house, as it's only a few minutes away

i arrive there and ring the door bell

the door opens and look at clay, he's absolutely drained

"oh my god, come 'ere" i say pulling him into a hug

"i can't lose her george," he cries onto my shoulder "she's all i have"

"you're not gonna lose her," i say stroking his hair with one hand and holding him tight with the other "it's going to be okay"

eventually we pull out of the hug and i get into his house

"thank you for coming" he says wiping his tears

"no worries" i say

he sits down on the couch and i sit beside him "how was your day, george"

"oh um" i say sinking into the couch "well, i went to new york with my sister and her fiance, it was pretty fun"

"you got a haircut?" he says reaching out to run his hands through my hair

"yeah," i giggle "does it look okay?"

"it looks amazing," he says "it suits you"

"thank you," i say "have you eaten anything today?"

"honestly," he breathes out "no"

"ill get us something to eat then," i say pulling out my phone "what would you like to order, sir?" i say with a sarcastic american accent

"george, no, you don't have to" i says

i clear my throat and say "ahem i said, what would you like to order, sir?" he laughs, a really fake laugh, but i know what he's going through so i rub it off

"mcdonalds" he says

"alright," i give the phone to him "here, pick what you want"

after a few minutes he hand the phone back and i order myself a big mac and coke, since i wasn't really hungry

"order placed" i say looking at him, he was staring into the distance, eyes tearing up again

without a second thought i tap his shoulder, and pull him into a warm, tight hug

we stay in the position for a while, hugging on the couch, his face buried into my chest, me stroking his head, me whispering into his ear and him trying not to sob again

we were basically cuddling, but if it made him feel better then i didn't give a shit

a few minutes later, the doorbell rang

i pull out of the hug, his eyes were red as hell "i'll get that"

i open the door, it's the delivery boy

i grab the order from his hands and give him the money

"wait sir," the boy says "doesn't this house belong to mrs smith?"

"um, yeah, why?" i say leaning on the door

"is clay here?" he asks "i'm his ex"

"um, give me a moment please" i say closing the door and turning to clay

"clay your ex is here" i say with a clam voice so he doesn't panic again "he wants you, but if you don't want to meet him it's perfectly fine!"

he takes a deep breath and stands up "give me a minute, george"
