Chapter Four, I wish you.

TIA HARPER
DIAMONDS - RHIANNA 

That same night, I kept waking up, sniffling back tears each time so as not to wake Chris. His arm was wrapped around my waist, and it provided an odd comfort that I hadn't expected from him.

As my best friend, I never imagined him to ever pull me close like this. But it was happening, and it felt remarkable. Once more, my heart fluttered for him, and I was sure he had feelings for me too – though neither of us had the courage to say out loud.

A few hours later, I felt a faint light creep through the window. I squinted to check the time – nine o'clock – and turned back over in his bed, desperate to catch some more sleep. 

But then I felt something, and when I looked up, Chris was sitting beside me, his eyes trained on his phone in one hand. But to my surprise in his other hand he was messing with my hair.

His beauty captivated me, and I just allowed myself to admire him from the corners of my eyes until he looked up. Quickly, I turned back over so as not to embarrass myself.

"Good morning sleeping beauty, how did you sleep?" He says leaning over the bed, so I had no choice but to look at him.

"If I'm honest, I slept horribly. But I was comfortable which helped me fall asleep." I reply with a nervous chuckle.

My eyes still heavy and not wanting to move as I was just laying there feeling comforted by his presence and beauty.

That cute moment me and Chris were having together was soon interrupted by Nick and Matt running into Chris's bedroom.

"GOOD MORNING BITCHES, ARE YOU READY? BECAUSE WE HAVE TO FILM A NEW VID AND GO SHOPPING!" Nick says as I groaned, 

I attempted to dig my head further into the pillow but it ended up being on Chris's shoulder which was oddly soothing.

Realizing I had to get up, I slowly pulled my head up off his shoulder, reluctantly ready to face the day. I wanted to stay in the peaceful moment I had been in with Chris just moments ago forever, but I knew that was not possible.

"I'm tired," I said, squirming as I pulled myself into an upright position. 

"I just wanna sleep." I knew that would result in no success, but I was desperate to relieve my fatigue.

"Come onn please, do it for your bestfriendss," Matt and Chris said in unison.

"Fine, give me a second," I reply, they all cheer as I pulled myself off the bed, Nick and Matt quickly left the room soon after. 

I looked at myself in Chris's mirror, I was slumped, his clothes I wore were crumpled, and my hair messy, and I suddenly realized how I looked.

"I look like a mess," I said, covering my face with my hands in frustration.

"No, you don't," Chris said to me, lifting my hands away from my face and slowly bringing his face closer to mine. 

His eyes were kind and gentle, and I felt my heart swell with the warmth that the moment was radiating.

"You're beautiful," he said softly, and all I could do was nod, a small smile playing on my lips.

Holy shit, I know he didn't just say that TO ME? This moment was one that would stay with me forever, I knew that, and if I could, I'd stay here forever.

Our lips were the closest they'd ever been before, all I wanted to do was kiss him. But I don't want another awkward episode like what we had in the bathroom yesterday. 

"Take a pic with me?" he asked pulling out his phone and wrapping his arms around me once again.

"Ew, no I already said I look like a mess. I always do when I first wake up" I say burying my face into the crook of his neck. 

"And I already said you look fucking beautiful." He says looking at me with a smile he knows I can't look away from. 

"Fine, only for you though" I say as we take the picture together, that was one of the special moments I wouldn't be forgetting any time soon.

"I'll go run your shower and get some clean clothes and stuff for you." He says with a kind voice, walking over to the bathroom. 

I can only express how thankful I am for him taking initiative and planning as if on my behalf the whole time.

"Thank you, it means a lot really." I reply, wrapping my arms around him tightly. I hug him with an assurance that made me feel even closer to him and almost made me realize just how close we already were. 

"Anything for you pretty girl, I know it's been rough for you lately and I wanted to help" 

He says while rubbing my back gently in a way that calmed me, looking into my eyes for the briefest of moments before releasing me from his embrace again. 

My gaze follows him as he places a clean towel neatly on the rack, before turning back and picking out his clothes for me to wear. 

At first I wasn't sure if it was a good idea as I remembered my own clothes, but when I saw the look of tenderness on his face I knew he wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and for a moment I felt incredibly special by a boy for once in my life even though we weren't together yet.

"Here, have some of my clothes" He says

"Won't Nick and Matt notice?" I reply laughing a little

"Eh, who gives a shit" 

"True, they are comfy anyways"

We both just stand there laughing at eachother, I know he can tell I'm having a hard time, but he still believes in me and is willing to help me get through it and for a few moments I just stare into his eyes.

He takes my hand in his and his fingers entwine with mine, I feel my heart beating so fast and I blush not being able to look away from him. A few seconds felt like hours until he finally breaks the silence.

"I'm here for you, no matter what happens I want you to know that. I care about you so much and I really think you need to know that." His voice trembles and for the first time I see tears in his eyes.

"Don't cry Chris, otherwise I'll cry too. I'll be okay because I have you, Nick and Matt" I say wiping the flood of tears about to fall from his eyes.

A smile broke across his face within a matter of seconds of me saying that.

"We don't deserve you, you are one of the only real bestfriends that we've had stick by us through basically everything" He starts, 

"I'll let you go in the shower now rather than rant" He finishes as he wipes his eyes and gives me a quick hug before letting me go.

"Meet you downstairs?" I ask

He nods his head and walks out of the room, I stumble over to the bathroom and lock the door behind me.

'I really did love him and he pretty much showed me he feels the same way just then, I can't stop smiling'

I took off the clothes I had been wearing and stepped into the hot shower. I closed my eyes and allowed the droplets of water to wash all the stress away as I felt my body and mind slowly start to relax and feel soothed.

When I stepped out, feeling rejuvinated and reinvigorated, I wrapped myself up in the warm towel and embraced myself with gratitude for Chris and the support he was giving me. 

I put on the clothes he got for me, it was a pair of shorts and a Fresh Love shirt. I was feeling reassured and comforted by the thoughtfulness he had dedicated to helping me.

I looked at myself in the mirror and despite not wearing makeup, I finally felt beautiful. I wanted to thank Chris for making me feel this way - for making me feel special.
