I Dreamed A Dream

After you and your girlfriend/boyfriend Casey (it's a gender neutral name) broke up, Ben, your best friend, comes to comfort you. Also, this is loosely based off of the song 'I Dreamed a Dream' from Les Miserables because it's m favorite movie/play/soundtrack :)

FLUFFY FLUFF IS FLUFFY

You buried your face in your pillow and sobbed into it, most likely getting mascara stains all over your white sheets, but you didn't care. The person you thought you loved the most took their things and ran after a huge fight. You had called your friend Ben to come over and comfort you because he was always the best at brightening your day no matter what happened. 

You heard the wooden door creak open on it's hinges, then quickly slam shut followed by footsteps quietly coming up your carpeted stairs. The bedroom door slowly creaked open and a peaking Ben looked through, his face dropping suddenly when he saw you. Though you were only friends, it always struck a nerve to see you crying. He quickly ran to your side and wrapped you up in the tightest hug you've ever felt. You quietly sobbed on his shoulder, pulling him closer and closer with each passing second.

He rubbed soothing circles on your back until you calmed down, running his other hand through your hair and massaging it gently. Once you'd stopped, he pulled out and cupped your face in his hands, wiping the tears and streaks of mascara streaming down your face. You sniffled and lied back on the pillows, which he did right next to you, taking your hand and rubbing circles along your palm.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked gently, as if one wrong movement or word and I would shatter into a million pieces, which was quite possible at the moment. 

"They just... left, Ben. I thought they loved me. We had a huge fight about... wanting kids and... they just took their stuff and left." You sniffled in between each sentence, wanting to cry all over again but trying to keep a calm composure.

"Casey is the biggest twat I've ever met, okay? If they don't love you for who you are or what you want in life, then they don't deserve to be with you." You kept nodding, but he put his finger on your jawline so you could look at him. "Screw them, yeah?" You giggled for the first time in hours and nodded, turning your body and burying your face in his chest. 

He pulled you close and rubbed your back, turning his body only to turn the light off. You took in the scent of him. He smelled of cigarettes and musk that made you feel at home; and you knew that you were home in his arms. 

Ben felt you start to relax in his arms, and felt his eyes beginning to flutter shut as well. 

"Goodnight." He whispered into your hair, but you didn't respond because your eyes were already fluttering shut, drinking in the feeling of the warmth of his body surrounding you. 

Soon he was spooning you and sleeping, breath fading in and out in your hair while his chest rose and fall against yours. You smiled contently and sighed, slowly falling into a dreamy sleep against your best friend.
