15.

I woke seeing I was still on the couch. I looked around yawning and getting up. I walked out seeing the hallway was a mess. I looked downstairs seeing the whole house a mess. What happened? I walked into Chris room seeing him on the ground with his head in his hands.

"Chris, what's wrong?"

He looked up quickly his eyes puffy and red haven't seen him like this since he found out his mom was in the hospital.

"Where did you come from, where were you?" He said walking towards me.

"I was in the closet I fell asleep."

"I thought you left me." He said pulling me into his embrace.

I hugged him back. "Why would I leave you Chris?"

"I don't know, I just panicked I didn't know where you went when I came looking for you I didn't even brother to check the closet." He shook his head.

I put my hand on his cheek. He fell into my palm closing his eyes. I smiled at his reaction.

"I'm not going anywhere."

He smiled back at me hugging me again.

"I ended up writing another song didn't take me that long." He chuckled.

"Can you show me?"

"Yeah." He said grabbing the paper he wrote on.

"I should've been a better man
Instead of wasting time spending my life searching for the finer things
You always gave me another chance to make it right
But I didn't deserve, cause I didn't understand

And I feel so bad
Cause you wouldn't do the same to me
But I know what your weakness is
And you feel so mad
And now you're on an open road
So gone, not looking back

I thought I had you on a leash
Like I could do whatever I wanted to, and I wanted to, and you was gonna wait for me baby, no
And now the table has turned now I feel like you're the master and I'm on the strings
You're in control of me

And I feel so bad
And now you're doing it to me
Cause you know what my weakness is
And you feel so mad
And now I'm on an open road
Tryna go, but I'm looking back

I'm looking for her
I'm tryna find her
I really need her
I think I love her

I'm looking for her
I'm tryna find her
I really need her
I think I love her

You can blame it all on me
I know it's like this because of me
Now I'm just like a hitchhiker waiting for a ride
With no cars in sight

And it feels so bad
Cause you wouldn't do the same to me
'cause I know what your weakness is
And I feel so mad
And now you're on an open road
Long gone, I can't have you back

I'm looking for her
I'm tryna find her
I really need her
I think I love her

I wanna see her
I don't ever wanna leave ya
I wanna keep ya
I think I love her."

I smiled it was sweet honestly. You could tell he was in his feelings when he wrote it too. He is very talented in all seriousness.

"I really love this song out all you sung I really like this one," I spoke truthfully. "Chris just know I'm not going anywhere there nothing to worry about." I said grabbing his shoulders.

"I know that now," He said sighing. "But tell me where you go next time so I don't freak and burn down the house with you in it."

I laughed. "Chris calm down."

"Hazel I'm serious."

"I understand I'm sorry." I said wrapping my hands around his waist.

"What time is it?" I asked seeing it's night.

"About to be 12."

I nodded going and laying down on the bed. Chris came and laid in between my legs with his head on my stomach. I rubbed his hair reminding me of the first time I was here.

"Do you not like me"? I looked at him like he had three heads.

"I don't know." I said looking at him.

He smiled, don't know why but he smiled. Creepy little boy. I looked away laying down on my back. He laid on my chest. I sighed not even caring anymore. I looked at his curls, honestly I'm a hair person so this is so tempting right now. Like I wanna touch his hair but I don't want him to think I accept him or this in anyway at all. I just kept looking at it, I picked my hand up laying it a little above my chest. I looked at his hair again, I lifted my hand up touching his hair softly. Omg...this man hair is so freaking soft. I kept feeling it softly, I wonder if he felt it at this point I didn't care. I kept rubbing softly enjoying every bit of this. I'm in love with soft hair its life.

"You know that feels amazing right?" I kinda jumped at the sound of his voice.

"Oh umm...I." I mumbled nervously.

"Its ok keep going." He laughed.

Funny how much has changed since then. I smiled.

"What you thinking about?"

"The first time you laid on me." I laughed.

"Oh yeah and you rubbed my hair." He chuckled.

"Yeah."

"You could not stand me when we first met."

I laughed. "Cause you kept asking to many questions and stupid ones at that and I hate when people ask questions they know the answer to."

He just chuckled hugging my waist. I was actually comfortable with this position. I smiled at this moment, at this moment I felt safe wrapped in his arms I felt all my problems washing away like there was no one here but us. I got knocked out my thoughts once I noticed light snores causing a vibration through my tummy. I smiled closing my eyes as well.
