Crystal

Me and Charlie walked inside the crystal store and I had no idea what to buy, especially when there were so many different kinds of crystals in different shapes, sizes, and how you could carry them in your hand I mean you could wear your crystal around your neck if you wanted.....it was almost overwhelming but Charlie seemed to like it.

"ooo I would love to get a new quartz and amethist but I need an obsidian, my other one went missing" Charlie says and I've got no idea what she was talking about so I only nod and pick up a blue smooth stone "what's this one called?" I ask in a mumbling tone and Charlie looks toward me and points to the little paper that apparently had the name on it.

"azurite" I mumble and stare at the stone in my hand.

"that's a good rock for energy, I heard it does more but I've never searched it up so I don't know the rest, oh look it's only 6 bucks! You want it?" Charlie says excited that I am interested in getting one, I'm glad that she's clearly enjoying this so I nod.

"okay I'll get an obsidian carved to look like an elephant, see look how pretty it is! I can just hold it in my palm, it's so cute!" Charlie states and we buy the crystals and leave.

As we walk out and climb in her car she looks at me smiling. "what?" I ask getting confused. 

"nothing it's just I'm happy your my new friend and you just bought your first crystal with me and...... you don't seem toxic like other girls and boys are, You don't judge people and your really....." Charlie stares at me for a minute before finishing her sentence and I'm kind of shocked.

"your really cute, like...platonically but I think your cute" she finishes and starts driving and I go silent.....like not my regular silent but shocked silent.

"I've never heard that.......before" I whisper while staring out the window "thank you" I whisper again and Charlie holds my hand and I tense up at first but I soon relax.

"well you should hear it a lot more because that's the truth, you should know what people view you as" she says and we go quiet again.

I get tired of this silent state and turn on whatever's playing on my playlist because it's still connected to Charlies car. The song nights in white satin by the moody blues is playing, and we listen

"beauty I'd always missed.....with these eyes before..."

"just what the truth is...I can't say anymore"

"because I love you.... yess I love you.. ohh how I love you"
