↓┗⪨ 8/20/23 - Number 2 - Loved ⪩┛↓

Not based on any song, but I would say listen to The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys or Cigarettes After Sex, they sort of match this whole book.

He breathed heavily, and I could tell he was stressed.

Even if he tried to stay strong for us, or himself. His eyes would tell a different feeling.

I could see her walking up to him, her smile comforting.

"Arlo... Are you alright?"

He stared at her face, eyes watering.

His leg bounced from where he was sitting.

And he hugged her so tightly, I wasn't sure if I could bear it. I wanted it to be me. It was fuckin' wack.

He let go of her. The gods had pleased me.

"Thanks.."

She smiled bigger.

"No problem."

She walked away, her green Majestic dress flowed to the wind.

I would have loved her, if I didn't hate her.

Arlo breathed in, and out slowly, like a sweet melody I could listen to everyday. A melody that would make me feel safe.

I looked away, as a lump in my throat apprised.

He talked. To me? Oh, little old John doe?

"You okay?" he asked

"Uh- yeah.." I said

I tried to smile. But what can I say? He was too beautiful, I couldn't hold back my nervousness.

"I mean this... I'm sorry." he let go a sigh, and tried to explain once again,

"Running away.. From the government? Just because we're some dumb kids who magically had super powers, now we're hunted. Yay." he laughed, but I could tell he was anxious.

"Hey, it's alright." I reassured him, "At least we're together, right?" I smiled.

He smiled back at me.

And I could tell, he did really love me, and I wasn't dreaming.

"John.."

The gentlest way anyone had said my name, and I was close to going frail. From his breathed out voice, and his rosey nose, beautiful sky eyes. I was deeply in love.

"I think I can love you..."

Which was better than, I love you, because it meant that he is taking the time to love me.

He got up slowly, and placed a hand out.

He was a real Angel, flowing hair, and a pretty smile anyone would love to see everyday.

I held his hand, and he stared at me- like I was everything he needed, he pulled me up with him.

I smiled, for the second time this day.

As he slowly placed a hand on my cheek, I could feel the warmth of his breath hold close to my heart.

He stared down, and placed his forehead on mine. As I closed my eyes, I felt safe, protected. His other hand still warped around my fingers, like It was something he was destined to do.

I didn't know what to do with my other hand, so I placed it on the hand he had positioned on my face, and it felt just right.

I rested myself, feeling like like I was above the clouds. Because he made me feel that way.

He kissed me.. like I was everything.
