Timeless (A Prestonplayz Fanfic)

Chapter 8

(The Next Day)

Laura's POV

Clara loads her things into her car. All is silent. Her face is red from crying, but there is a look of hope in her eyes. This is the start of something new for her, something that she needs. It's better off this way.

As we hug, tears well up in my eyes and she asks me, "Are you sure to are going to be okay?"

"I'll be fine, just don't party too hard, ok? Study hard, and don't die" I smile.

In a way, we both baby each other. It's how we keep each other safe (and sane.) She squeezed my hand and got into her car. Once she has driven off, my smile fades. For the first time in my life, my best friend isn't there for me, and I'm not there for her. The thought makes me sick, and I run back inside. Not thinking, I sprint into my apartment and start to break down. Surprised, Preston immediately jumps up to hug me. He seemingly buries me in the scent of his cologne. He tells me everything is fine, but I shake my head. My breathing gets heavy and the world is spinning. Pushing me out of his arms, he looks at me. I can't see him, or anything. Everything is a blur of feelings and bright lights. I felt trapped in vines that I made for myself. It was my fault. Preston quickly pulls me to the couch and hands me a glass of water.

"Laura... Laura it'll be alright. I promise you, you will be fine." I can hear him, my mind starts to focus again.

"Okay"

He smiles. I'm calmer now. How embarrassing, he probably thinks I'm insane.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I guess I just have some kind of separation anxiety or something. Clara has been there for me through everything, and it was a shock to see her go."

Preston nods. He hands me the tv remote and goes makes some microwave popcorn. When it finishes, he hands me the bowl and then plumps down next to be me. We start watching a Disney movie and I start to drop off a bit. I laugh cooly and say, "Well, at least you didn't set fire to the popcorn this time." He smirks and gives my shoulder a little nudge. A few minutes later, I'm a asleep.

Preston's POV

Why is it that she always falls asleep when we are alone? She looks so cute everytime though. Her long thick hair drapes over her face, and she is curled up in a little ball, almost like she is cold. I pause the film quickly and get her a blanket. As I walk to the other end of her apartment, I started thinking. Is she going to have to get a job? I'm sure as hell not going to let her struggle after she went through with her dad. There is a big soft black blanket on her bed with electric blue streaks curling around the edges. It reflects her electric personality. Hahaha. I am a horrible person. While I grab the blanket, I smile, picturing of how I could provide for her. The blanket goes on and without thinking, I kiss her forehead. Good thing she was asleep and didn't feel it.

Laura's POV

I felt it.
