The Ro'Meaves Lost Hearts

Seventeen

  Laurence's Pov (Welcome again)

I sat silently in the park on a bench as I ate my sandwich. I needed to go out so I just came here. At like 11:00 pm. I've got nothing on me so I'm safe from muggers. So basically I just have to make sure I'm not killed. Hooray. I tapped my foot slightly. Surprisingly a few people have walked by me. Well it really wasn't that late.

"Laurence!" I heard someone call. I assumed it wasn't meant for me.
"Laurence hey it's me!" I looked up to see the excitable goof ball molly.
"Oh hey fancy meeting you here."
"Well not really fancy it's like 11:15 in the middle of the park."
"Indeed it is, so what brings you here."
"I was just walking around and I saw you. I really just wanted to thank you for what you did for me one more time. I don't know where I'd be now if I had of lost that job."
"Hey it was just the right thing to do. I know you're a college student too so paying off loans must be a hassle."
"Definitely. Well how are you doing?"
"I feel well just well fine... I mean all I've been doing lately is basically looking at the clock so...."
"Wow, any plans for anything? Trips or something?"
"Nope. Man I'm a boring person."
"Oh come on don't say that I'm sure you got plenty of stories up in that head of yours."
"Well yeah but..."
"But what? Come on we're friends aren't we? Talk about them, I like stories after all. "
"Well I'm not a very good story teller..."
"Hmmm did you go to college?"
"Yeah."
"Then tell me some stories."
"Well... Oh! So all the way back when it was my third of fourth week. So I go back expecting the usual sit down, read a little, die internally, sigh and sleep routine. You know normal college things. So I get to the door and it's already unlocked. So I walk in and right away I smell smoke. Not like cigarette smoke but like burning smoke. So I look towards the microwave and it's basically on fire my roommate Dante is with his friend trying to stop it while yelling and they're conversation was basically just, 'PUT IT OUT DANTE!' 'IM TRYING TRAVIS' 'HOW'D THIS EVEN HAPPEN!?' 'YOU TRIED TO RE-HEAT CHICKEN NUGGETS BUT SET IT TO LIKE 30 MINUTES BY ACCIDENT THEN FORGOT ABOUT IT!' 'DANTE ITS SPREADING!'. So they're screaming and I'm just standing there. So I walk in grab a bit of my clothes, my wallet and just say 'if this place burns down it's on you Dante I'm out.' And that's the story of how my old roommate burned down half of that apartment."
"Oh my Irene," she laughed, "that guy must have been crazy you probably haven't seen him since have you?"
"Actually we were good friends even since then and I lived with him for another year. Plus the guy who started it moved in with us so.."
"Wow, did he burn down your kitchen their too?"
"No but he burned our friends across the street kitchen."
"Pffft," she bursted out laughing. "So what did you do after that? Did you get a new apartment with the guy or?"
"No actually... I didn't have a lot of money at the time due to using most of my money to pay for tuition. I worked a lot but i didn't really have anywhere to go..."
"So what did you do?"
"Well I had one really good friend... His name was garroth"

~ flash back time woo~

The cold sent chills up my spine as I leaned against the brick wall. Rain started to fall as i stayed there in the cold. I didn't feel like I had anywhere else to go. I didn't want to worry anyone.
I crouched down in the cold alley way. I dug my head into my knees. The rain was cold and harsh until I couldn't feel it anymore. I could hear it but I couldn't feel it. I looked up and saw a dark umbrella over me. Looking to my left I saw the familiar blonde with rain flicking off of his locks.

"What are you doing out here?" I asked him.
"I should be asking you that question Laurence. It's freezing and raining you should be inside. Come on you know i live literally in the building your leaning on."
"Yeah..."

He helped me up and made sure I stayed under the umbrella until we got to the building.
Once we arrived to his apartment he gave me a towel. I sneezed as I dried my hair on the couch.

"Why were you out they're like that Laurence?"
"You can keep a secret right?"
"I'm you're best friend of course I can."
"Well I'm basically homeless....."
"What?! I thought you lived with Dante and Travis now!"
"No... I didn't want to room with them after the incident but I also couldn't afford my own place...."
"Laurence how come you never said anything sooner!"
"I didn't want to worry you or anyone else..."
"Laurence I'm your best friend it's my job to worry about you!"
"Well don't be, I'll figure something out."
"Stay with me!"
"W-what?"
"Well we're already best friends just stay with me Laurence! I want to make sure you're safe so stay with me Laurence."
"O-ok...."
"Always know that I'll be there for you Laurence. It's what best friends are for. Besides I don't know where I would be without you."

~Le end of flashback~

"He sounds amazing."
"Yeah, he really is...."

Also I think I'm to angsty for my own good sometimes. I'm like ice-cream except when you think everything's going well I just fall on the floor and everyone's crying.

See what I mean
