Stand By Me Preferences & Imagines ON HOLD

When You Can't Sleep At Night - Gordie

Requested by cutiepiecoogan 

I found a song that reminds me of the request so I used it for inspiration :)

__________

Everything had gone wrong for you these past few weeks. You'd messed up your school work, you'd lost your job at the diner, your parents were so disappointed that they wouldn't even speak to you, and, saving the best for last, you'd argued with your boyfriend Gordie two weeks ago. You hadn't spoken since. You couldn't even remember why you argued in the first place, but you remembered all the hateful and mephitic words that were tossed around from both of you. It surprised you that you were still together, honestly, but the love you had for Gordie was like a guard that prevented both of you from ending things. You were just lying awake in bed, the thoughts of every fault you ever made flooding into your head and threatening to spill out of your eyes like two waterfalls. The only thing giving you any sort of motivation at this point in your life was him. Gordie.

You'd had enough, and you sneaked downstairs into the kitchen so you could use the phone. You dialed his home number, praying that his father or mother didn't answer. They both hated you as it is, and something gave you the feeling that calling their house at 2 am wouldn't improve that. After a few rings, you heard the voice you missed so much.

"Hello?"

"Gordie," you smiled to yourself, a thousand tears getting ready to fall.

"Y/N? What are you still doing up? It's late," the sound of his sleepy voice gave you chest pains, and all you could think about was how much you wanted him there with you.

"I'm sorry for waking you up, I, uh, I just needed to hear your voice. You can go back to sleep now, um...I love you, bye." you sighed, not giving him the time to reply to you. You hung up and dragged yourself back to bed, hugging your pillow as you slowly fell back to sleep, crying.

A knock on your bedroom window woke you up with a shock, and fear etched itself across your face when you noticed a dark figure outside. When you switched on your bedside lamp, however, and you realized who it was, you finally opened the window for Gordie.

"Gordie, I'm so sorry," you cried, only for Gordie to pull you into him and hug you tightly.

"Shh, babe, don't cry. C'mon," he tried his best to soothe you as he lied down on your bed and pulled you on top of him, holding you.

"I messed up," your voice cracked as you spoke, and you followed it by letting out a series of pained sobs. 

"Y/N, you didn't mess up at all. Everyone makes mistakes, we all fuck up sometimes, especially at this age. It's like a rite of passage," you felt Gordie try and lift your head up so he could see you, but you refused.

"Gordie, my eyes are all swollen, I look ugly, please don't look at me," you hid your face in his chest and took in his scent, the scent that you loved so much.

He grabbed our face more forcefully this time, yet still gentle as ever, and looked directly into your eyes, "you could never look ugly. You're beautiful. Just...just try and get some sleep, okay?"

You nodded, feeling yourself calm down a bit more with each word he spoke. 

"Just promise me you'll never leave me,"

"I promise. I love you. Forever and always, right?"
