I fell in love with her in stages

HAPPINESS

Jules POV

At this point the high from the pills has taken over my body and brain completely. I stay slumped into my couch staring at the blank TV. Feels like a million thoughts have been running through my head but I can't make any of it out...which is exactly what I wanted.

I look over at my phone that's vibrating:
10:23pm
2 Text Messages
Instagram: new message from Trumanblack

I slowly pick it up to check my messages, starting with Instagram

9:52pm Trumanblack: are you still up?

I start to type a reply

10:24pm miss_juulz: ya what's up?

I reply-

Trumanblack typing....

10:24 Trumanblack: can I see you?

Fuck... when I'm like this?

10:25 miss_juulz: not really in the right mindset to leave my house... you can come over here if you'd like?

He takes to time to type back

10:25 Trumanblack: send me your address I'll be right over (;

I quickly send him my address and close Instagram, opening up the text messages I had

Unknown number

9:22pm Hey love, it's Matty

9:30pm Assuming you're tired after last night, give me a call when you're awake.. I'd like to see you again

I smile to myself and add him as a contact 'Matty🤩'. Before I could do anything else a sense of warmth engulfed my body and I put my phone down to close my eyes and bask in this high; oh how I felt like I was on top of the world right now.

I guess closing my eyes wasn't the best idea because the next thing I remember is waking up to a knock on my door. I groan to myself as I tried to stand up to answer the door. I stumbled a bit getting to the door before taking a deep breath and opening it.

Matty POV

I stood there anxiously waiting at the front door for her to answer. I hear some footsteps approaching the door. I was welcomed by a very tired looking Jules, who's eyes couldn't seem to keep focus on me

"Hey....uhh..c-come in" she managed to stutter out, slightly slurring her words. My mind began to think that maybe she wasn't just tired...

I follow her inside her small home, I take a quick look around as we walk into her living area. Her place is cute, she's got lots of plants and very simple; yet very cozy feeling decorations plastered around her home.

"Couldn't stay away from me hhuuuh?" She says to me, still slightly slurring her words as she takes a seat on her couch tucking one of her legs under her bum, I follow her and take a seat next to her.

"Couldn't... didn't want to..." I start listing off reasons, she looks up and smiles at me before looking back down to her lap watching as a deep blush flushed over her cheeks. I couldn't help but smile back at her

"did you want me to stay away?" I say in a more serious tone, raising an eyebrow at her, she looked up at me and leaned forward towards my shoulder before whispering into my ear
