The Boy Who Saved Me.

Does this mean we're Friends?

Okay so I'm packing right because I'm moving so uh👍 anyways yeah, I'm starting this later than I wanted. Also I hope more people read this cuz I'm trying pretty hard on this. I don't know if they even ride the bus or even together but.. In this they do🤷‍♀️
I bring up McCafferty is this too I don't know if he really did all those things but I only like his music not him🙏🙏Not my art btw😋

Trav's POV:
I'm sitting on the bus staring out the window listening to music. Till someone taps my shoulder, I turn away from the window and see Sal. "Hey Trav, can I sit by you today?" He probably just pity's me. "I guess. " why did I say that?! Now I have to talk to him, As he sits down next to me I stare back out the window and was about to put back in my other earbuds but Sal asks "Can I listen? I forgot my headphones. " I don't answer and just hold out my second earbud for him. Sal scoots closer to me grabs the earbud from me and gently puts it in his ear. "Do you like McCafferty?" 

(Sorry if I spelt that wrong🙏🙏)

I ask Sal "Yeah I love his music!" Sal answers, I then play Bottom by McCafferty. Because we're the last stop to go home it takes a while.

Sal's POV:
I'm smiling like crazy as I listen to music with Trav, I hope he doesn't mind the nickname I gave him. I'm tired from school.. I look over at Trav to see that he fell asleep. He looks so peaceful.. He seems happy, that's good, I pretty sure that means I'm not making him uncomfortable! Nice.

Ash's POV:
I ask Sal if he wants to sit by me as we walk down to more of the back of the bus, he's not answering so I tap his shoulder "uh, no sorry not today Ash." I give him a smile and sit by Larry instead. I wonder if he's gonna sit by Todd? Well, no Todd sits by Neil.. Huh. I talk with Larry about it for a while before looking down the aisle. "Oh, Sal's sitting behind us." Oh he's sharing headphones with someone, I lean farther to see who. Travis?!
He's asleep and so is Sal, he's leaning his head on Travis's shoulder, I look back at Larry. "He's sitting by.. Travis?" Larry peeks over the seat and looks at them, then sits back down "Holy fuck. Is Sal gay?" He says quickly, I laugh a bit "why was that the first thing you ask?" There's no way Sal is gay, right? he would have told me.

Trav's POV:
As I open my eyes I realize I fell asleep, I look over as Sal to see him.. Leaning on my shoulder, I freeze trying to stay still to not wake him. Holy. Shit. His hair is so soft.. And he smells like cigarettes and lavender, I look down as Sal's hand next to mine, I gently move my hand closer to his and put my hand on top of his and gently hold it. Shit what if I make him uncomfortable, or he thinks I'm weird, he will think I'm a freak if he knows I'm holding his hand.. I slowly fall back asleep, holding his hand.

Larry's POV:
The bus stops finally and me, Ash, Chug and Todd stand to get off, but I quickly realized and so does Ash that Sal is still sitting "Must just still be asleep." I say as me and Ash reach where he is sitting. "Totally gay." I say as Ash pulls out her polaroid camera and takes a photo, there both asleep and holding hands with Sal leaning his head on Travis's shoulder still, I manage to wake up Sal which as soon as I do he yawns and looks at Travis. "Oh shit he missed his bus stop." He says than let's go of his hand and takes out the earbud. "Gay" I say looking at him and grinning, I know it's gonna embarrass him. Which it does quickly, "uh, we were just listening to music!" He says quickly "Anyways why are you hanging out with this prick." Travis wakes up and rubs his eyes. I just don't understand why he's hanging out with Travis.
I mean he's bullied him for years!

Travis's POV:
Larry is talking like I'm not even here, I mean I'm pretty used to it but still. I quickly put my phone and earbuds away, I look out the window to see were by the apartments. Fuck. I missed my bus stop, Fathers going to kill me if I'm home late. I already am late. Me and Sal stand up and we all get off the bus, I'm now standing in front of the apartments. "Wanna just hang with me for a bit? I mean were already here.." Sal says I don't really have a choice so I say yes, we're now in his apartment. It smells just like him just less.. Cigarettey. I wonder if we're counted as friends at this point? I think to myself as we walk farther into his apartment, we're gonna have to go in his room. Just be cool.. Be normal. Sal opens his bedroom door and invites me in, it's pretty clean in here, some clothes on the floor and a cup of I'm guessing water next to his bed on a night stand.

Sal closes the door behind me and sighs, wait is he signing because of me? Did I already annoy him? I hope not, Sal sits on his bed and says "sorry my room is messy right now, anyways what do you wanna do? I have video games or we can watch a movie? " what do I say?! Uh.. "Movie I guess?.. " I say as Sal nods and turns on his TV, I just stand there awkwardly "hey Trav, you can sit on my bed. Or if your not comfortable with that you can just sit on my bean bag. " I awkwardly walk over to Sal and hesitantly sit on the bed, as I do Sal hops up of the bed "Hungry? I can go make popcorn or something?" I think for a moment and then say "do you have chips?" I ask hoping he has my favorite "Yeah, what kind I have a couple different, I have classic lays, Doritos and.. I think Cheetos. "

Sal says, I think for a moment before saying "just classic is fine" I say a bit less awkwardly, why do I have to be so awkward? Sal walks out to get the snacks, as soon as he leaves I pull out my phone and call father, he's gonna be pissed so maybe I can just say that I'm doing a after school thing or something. "Why aren't you home. Travis, answer." He says sounding pissed "I'm sorry father, I had to charge my phone to call. And I'm doing an after school math credit project." I say trying to stay calm and not make him more mad "Hm, fine just if your not home by 6 sharp.. You'll see." Hearing the coldness in his voice sends shivers down my spine. "Yes father." He hangs up and I can finally breath normally again. I sigh as I rub my face.

Sal's POV:
As I walk out a hear Trav call someone probably his parents to explain why he's not home. I don't think anything of it and get to the kitchen, I take off my mask to finally get some air on my face, I hope that Trav doesn't come out to the kitchen. Dads still at work so he won't even know Travis was here, I grab the bag of chips and pour them into a bowl to share. I put back on my mask after washing my hands. I fix my hair and just get two Drpeppers because who doesn't like Drpepper? I walk back to my room with the bowl and drinks, I shut the door behind me with my foot gently. I set the bowl down by him on the bed and hand him the Drpepper "do you like DrPepper?" I ask as I sit down and open my own "never had it" he says as he inspects the can. "What? dude you got to try it now!" I say giggling he opens the can and says "I've only had 7up" he takes a sip "damn, this is good." I laugh, why does Trav hide this? He's so cute- funny! He seems more funny recently, and his lips.. I feel like I just wanna stare at them all day.. "Sal?.. " oh fuck. I look away quickly, fuck he caught me staring at his lips.
