Double update today. (:
----
I think I had been sitting in that goddamn field for an hour just thinking. Reed was right, I am a problem. I always have been a problem and that's just how it has to be I suppose. I was all wrapped up in my thoughts when I heard a familiar voice from behind me.
"Harlow, are you okay?"
I turned to see Cody. Of all times, he has to see me like this.
"Uh, yeah, everything's good." I replied, my voice had seemed to fail me though.
"You don't look okay," he replied.
"What's wrong?"
"The people I have loved in my life have never been easy to love,"
"I'm not used to normal, I'm used to disaster." I spoke.
"And right now, this is disaster."
"What happened?" He asked, carefully.
"I fought with Reed." I spoke, the sadness clear in my tone.
"The kid that was on his phone the whole time the other night?" He asked.
"Ha, yeah. Him." I replied.
"He called me a problem and it really hurt me, but I guess I agree,"
He listened to me complain and pour my heart out for at least an hour, and for that I am forever grateful.
"Listen," he spoke carefully.
"Things happen, and what's done is done. We leave what is not worth fighting for behind and we move on with our lives,"
"It's up to you to decide what to prioritise."
After he spoke, I looked into his eyes for a few seconds. I barely knew him, but god damn did I have some respect for that boy. And before I knew it, we were both leaning in and our lips connected. I swear, sparks flew. The kiss was full of passion and feelings that I can't even describe. We pulled apart and looked at each other for a moment.
He smiled at me and it made my heart burst. I giggled and he helped me up from the damp grass we had been sitting on.
"Come on, I'll walk you back to your bus. I'm assuming everyone's worried about you." He said.
