“Hey sunshine, you okay?”

It took a moment for my eyes to adjust to the light but when they did I realised I was still at Demi’s

“I'm fine, I didn’t mean to fall asleep sorry” I apologized, sitting up and pushing my hair out my eyes with my hands

I couldn’t help but notice how pretty Demi looked without makeup with the sun from the window shining through onto her hair

“No worries at all. Would you like anything to eat or drink?”

I haven’t eaten in like 3 days and I’m so hungry but i think I’ve already been enough trouble for her “Nah, I’m good, I’ve got to go home and get ready for work and plan a funeral aswell oh god”

I put my head in my hands trying to gather my thoughts; I felt Demi’s arms around me “You’ve got this, you wanna know why? Because you’re one of the strongest people I’ve ever met and I believe in you”

I let Demi’s words sink in, why did I ever hate this girl? Oh yeah because I’m an idiot who can hold a grudge but all that hatreds melted away and I really think im falling for her…oh shit

“Thanks Demi, for everything it’s great to know someone actually cares”

“Of course, anything for the ones I love”

Wait what?! The ones I love, Demi loves me, did I hear her right, why would she love me, what does she mean she loves me? Like as a friends or more? Oh god she’s confusing

“I um better go, thanks again” I stuttered out, ugh way to go Charlie now she knows you’re nervous, she nodded and hugged me before releasing

“Oh here’s your phone by the way” She said passing me my now cracked iphone that smashed when I got that phone call

“Oh shit, thanks aha”

I got the day off work, my boss may be a dick but at least he slightly understands that I won’t be able to focus on anything

I phoned the family back in Scotland and my “gran” said she’d handle it and the funeral was going to be held back home

The thing is about my gran is she hates me. I don’t know what I’ve done but when mum got pregnant with me at 15 my gran despised me like it was my fault her daughter got knocked up at 15 but whatever

That’s the least of my worries, how the fuck am I meant to pay for the mortgage, house and car insurance, heating bills, electricity bills, water bills, for food and general necessities

Oh god im fucked, I shoved everything that was on the table to the side and pulled my phone out my pocket, I already know it works from when I called the fam earlier, I need to phone work to tell them I won’t be at work the day after tomorrow

Demi the most greatest person ever

Wait what Demi? Did she seriously put her number in my phone while I was asleep, aw what a cutie

I considered ringing her, like I didn’t want to annoy her but she was the one who put her number in my phone in the first place

“Hello”

“So you think you can just put your number in my phone without telling me aye”

“CHARLIE”

“No shit Sherlock”

“Your sarcasm doesn’t intimidate me”

“Mhm okay then Demi the most greatest person ever”

“Glad to see you agree”

“Aye whatever you say”

“Why you still up anyway?”

“Trying to sort shit out”

“Aw babe, it’ll work out in the end trust me”

“I’m trusting you on that one Dems”

“Good, so I was thinking we could go out on a date sometime hm?”

”Didn’t we discuss this before?”

“Maybe but things have changed”

“Aye go on then D”
