Chapter 5: A shoulder to cry on
When the door opens, Rose doesn't hesitate to throw her arms around him. He stumbles inside and crouches down so he can hug her back. She sobs into his shoulder horribly and hugs him tight, afraid he will fade away and be gone forever. He wraps her hands around her, his hand on the back of her head, hishing her.
"It's ok. Shhh, it's ok Rose. I'm here. I got you." He whispers.
He closes the door with one hand and continues to calm her down. It takes a few minutes, but eventually she stops crying and looks up into his eyes, Her eyes are bloodshot red, tears still falling down her cheeks, and her blonde hair sticking to her face.
She grabs the front of his blue suit and burries her face in it.
"I'm s-s-sorry. I'm So s-s-sorry!" She wails.
She knew she had been terrible to him the past two months. He had come by every other day, trying to help her. To talk to her. Leaving flowers outside her door on sundays. SHe had left them there to die. She had rejected him. Wouldn;t let him in, Ignored his calls and deleted his anxious voice mails.
She lets go og him and walks over to the couch, plops herself down, and hides her puffy face in her sweater front.
His left shoulder is soaked in tears, and she feels sheepish as she peeks up and see's the stain.
He walks over to her, sits down beside her and rubs her shoulders until her choking subsides.
"It's ok." He says.
She looks up at him again, then down at his feet. She giggles.
"Your shoes are falling to bits." She says.
He looks down at his left shoe, and sticks his toe out of the hole, then lets the sole droop halfway down his shoe. She looks at his suit. The stain on his shoulder isn't the only thing dirty on it. It has a ragged hole on the cuff, his tie is filthy, and the hems of his pants show a bit too much ankle.
"Haven't you changed?" She asks incredulously.
He shrugs. "Into what?"
She thinks of something she hadn't before. "Where have you been living at?"
He shrugs again. "You mum let's me kip on the couch sometimes, but mostly I just wander around. I'm half human, but I still don't sleep as much as you do."
"I'm sorry."
