Harry's eyes are filled with complete shock.
Without saying anything he shoves past us and and storms out of my apartment.
"Gee who's that guy?" Riley asks.
I sigh. "Person, friend, I don't know anymore."
Riley pats my back.
I lead him into the apartment and shut the door, locking it so if Harry comes back he can't get in.
"You don't have to be here I bet your friends are wondering where you are." I say softly to Riley.
He shakes his head. "They don't care. They're not my friends."
I frown. "What do you mean?"
He sits on the couch and I sit beside him.
"I just hang out with them, that's it."
"You laughed and looked like friends." I say.
"Nah, it seems that way but it really isn't. I don't like them, they made me a horrible person." His voice gets soft.
"What do you mean? You're not horrible."
"All these stupid tattoos, stupid hair stupid reputation."
"Why'd you get tattoos if you don't like it?"
He sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. "They got me drunk and drunk me thought it was a great idea. It just built up over time."
I put my hand on his, trying to comfort him somehow.
***
We spent what felt like years, talking.
He shares secrets and his childhood.
Even though he was the guy I met at Taco Bell He is still a great person.
When he was eleven his dad died, he was in the army.
I feel horrible for him, trying to contain my sorry tears.
He mentioned how he loved this girl in tenth grade.
He asked her out four times and she said no.
He said he loves stupid movies and books.
I look at the clock.
8:46pm.
"It's late." I whisper, trying not to distract Riley from the movie that is on the TV.
"Nooo I want to see what happens in the end." He begs.
I sigh. "Alright fine. But you need to go after this, okay?"
He flashes a smile. "Deal."
We end up watching another movie until it's 11:19.
I'm not sure what to do, he falls asleep on the floor, hugging a pillow to his chest.
He looks adorable, despite the fact he's covered in tattoos.
I turn the TV off and step over his sleeping body, turning the lights off.
I decide to leave him there, if he wants to leave he can go whenever he wakes up.
I pull a blanket over myself and sleep on the couch, watching him sleep until i drift away.
