Sorry it's been so long I honestly just forgot to update.
Chandler pov
She sits there with tears pouring from her eyes and cheeks red from the cold. I can't begin to think of how she feels or what to say to her. I look into her glassy eyes and this is when I realize; she is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, black eye and all.
Without saying anything I just pull her into my chest and softly stoke her hair.
She apologizes over and over again in between sobs but I just say "shhhh" in her ear as I continue running my hand through her hair.

I just sit there, softly whimpering into his chest. His hand running through my hair calms me a bit.
I hate that I'm like this right after meeting him. He definitely doesn't like me now.
After a while when I have no more tears to cry, I lift my head up.
Chandler tucks one last strand of hair behind my ear and his hand lingers for a second. I look down at my lap, embarrassed about everything that just happened.
After it being quiet for so long Chandler breaks the silence.
"I know I can't tell you what to do but I really think you should tell someone."
"I told you" I reply.
"Yeah but I can't do anything."
"I'm working on it" I say.
"ok" he says, obviously trying to not push me.
"I really should go home now."
"Ok but when can I see you again?" he asks, surprising me.
"You want to see me again?" I ask trying not to sound too excited.
"Yeah, of course."
I can't stop the small smile from playing on my lips.
"How about Friday? Same place?" I ask.
"Sure, I'll see you then."
He starts to turn to walk away but I stop him and suddenly decide to wrap my arms around him. I bury my face in his long dark hair, taking in his scent.
I whisper "thank you" in his ear.
He doesn't say anything, just hugs me back.
After we finally release from our hug I say, "But what about your sweatshirt?"
I remember that I'm still wearing it.
"Keep it" he winks with a small smile on his lips.
I return the smile before we both head our separate ways.
As I walk home, even though it's cold, the happiness forms a warmth inside of me.
It's official now, I definitely have feelings for him.
