Just you and I

chapter 6: chances pt 2

“But you get scared to easily” lucas says with a smug look on his face

“No i won’t” i stated

“Okay then” lucas says

He chooses Mara, a scary movie about a sleep paralysis demon. As the first jumpscare appears I jump and scoot closer to Lucas, hiding my face.

He notices and puts his arm around me, rubbing my back in a circular motion. It calms me and even though this feels amazing it also feels wrong.

I get a sickening feeling in my stomach so I just close my eyes for a good minute or two. I open my eyes to watch the rest of the movie but am scared yet again by the damn demon.

This time I jumped with my whole body and hid on his side. He laughs at me and asks if I want to stop watching the movie and watch something else instead.

I say no I'll just spend the remainder of the movie right here and I can't help but snuggle closer into his side.

I feel like im safe when i’m next to him like nothing can touch me. We finish the movie,well he finishes the movie and I watch TikToks on my phone.

When the movies over he doesn’t push me off he just lays there with his arms around me and gets closer.

I am incredibly confused. Is he doing this because he likes me back or is he still comforting me.  I still feel that sick feeling in my stomach, only this time it's the worst, to the point when I can't move.
