Her & I

2

Rey played with my hands in hers, she ran her fingers over my scars and mumbled "I have done the same. But things are changing." I smiled "Changing for the better." I put my hand on her leg and moved her hair out of her face, she put her arms around my shoulders and hugged me. Scratch that idea I guess I thought. I looked into her eyes, one was green and the other was blue, I hadn't noticed this before and said "I love your eyes, there amazing." she looked down and smiled, everything about her seemed perfect and amazing. I laid down and stared at the ceiling. I fell into a restless sleep of nightmares in a sea bedsheets. I woke up & walked to the nearest drug store. I went back to room 111 where Rey was wide awake looking at the map on her phone "Where do you wanna go?" she asked, I flipped my hair outta my face "Sass much?" she said rolling her eyes, she looked at me "What the hell is that in your hand?" I froze, she stood up and pushed me against the wall and opened my hand "WHAT THE FUCK! Why did you buy pills?" she threw the bottle across the room "Don't think I forgot what happened in 2004. I-I love you and I don't want it to happen again." a single tear rolled down her cheek I wiped it away & hugged her and started to cry "I'm sorry." I hugged her tighter and she buried her face in my chest. We stood there crying for around a half hour, she pulled away and brushed the tears off my face and moved my hair outta my face. I looked at her lips, biting my own wondering what the hell I was gunna do next. I held her hips and leaned in, I was a centimeter away from lips as my mind went over the past two days, I moved closer, her hands went around the back of my neck as our lips met. When I pulled away I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time, love. We stood there awkwardly holding each other till her phone started ringing. She turned around and looked at it then me as if she didn't know what to do. She answered it, I listened to her side of the conversation "Hi. I'm not saying where I am, I know you will try to find me. I can live on my own, I'm 29 & if you love me let me go. No I'm not alone. Please don't tell my family and I'll keep you updated on where I am, promise me you won't tell anyone till I say it's okay? Bye." I walked over to her "What's up?" I asked, she replied "My old friend was wondering where I am and all that." I nodded, I could tell she hadn't been home in a long time
