Corri

I woke up with my head on Sade's chest and her arms wrapped around me.

How in the hell?

I tried to raise myself off of her but her arms were plastered to me. They were like weights. "Sade." I poked her face, "Sade." I whispered and shook her body a bit. "Huh." She groaned unwrapping her arms from around me. I awkwardly jumped away from the couch.

"I'm thirsty," I mutter under my breath tiredly.

Entirely ignoring the situation Sade groggily pointed to the kitchen. It was just as nice as the parts of her house I have already seen. Big windows, like the rest of her house, though these, leading to a garden. Sleek dark brown wooden cabinets, and one of those refrigerators you can put your picture on.

I opened it to see mostly liquor. There were some Ciroc, Hennessey, Grey Goose and so on. Basically, she had an entire liquor store in there. There were some water bottles at the very bottom. I grabbed two, one for me and one for her.

I turned around and to my surprise, Sade was sitting on top of the island kicking her feet like a child.

"Are you feeling better?" I ask moving a little closer to her.

"Eh, I'm still sore but how's my face looking."she asked while I passed her a water bottle.

"Well, I'd say your face looks a lot better now than it did when I first met you." I joked. She shot me a middle finger and said, "at least when we go to class on Monday you get to tell everyone you beat me up."

My face scrunched up, "I don't need fake temporary clout, no thank you." She and I laughed.

My eyes lit up. "Was that a genuine, non-snarky, un-sarcastic, anti-dickhead laugh coming from Sade Mitchell, the Sade Mitchell? I am astounded." I made it seem like I was going to faint.

She lightly shoved me.

I hopped up on the counter next to her, "this is kind of nice, you know. You not being a dick for five minutes."

She smirked.

There was this silence. It wasn't awkward it was more so peaceful. I could hear the kitchen sink dripping and the quiet noise coming from the tv in the living room. She watches me silently as I did the same to her. She looks so, broken. It's weird though, it's kind of scary. Her eyes were lifeless and all her bruises did was amplify this.

Sade

I sat there and watched her. Hopefully I'm not making her feel weird, doesn't seem like it though. She watched me too, probably trying to read me.

She won't.

She doesn't make sense to me though. She so nice to me, I'm an asshole, nobody likes me. I do dumb shit and she forgives me. There's only one person who was nice to me no matter what I did and she's not even here with me anymore. My blood boiled as it rose to my cheeks. I got a few incoming texts on my phone: "I took her to the hospital they're running tests. She won't wake up. This is your fault."

My heart dropped.

"Are you okay?" Corri interrupted my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"You're bleeding." She grabbed my wrists as I un-clenched my fists. My nails dug into my hands leaving bloody crescent shaped marks. I quickly snatched my hands away and stood up. "I-I'm okay. I'm fine. I promise."

She began talking, trying to calm me. I couldn't hear, blood was pounding in my ears. She was so far away. The tips of my hands and feet felt like pins and needles. My throat felt like it was closing. I choked out, "my chest... hurts."

Corri began to shake me but I still couldn't hear what she was saying, all I heard was white noise. I was stuck. Though she mouthed "you're having a panic attack," And she was right.

"Breathe." She repeated over and over and over like a broken record. She guided me upstairs to my room. I could finally hear her again. She rubbed my back. She looked so concerned. I didn't speak for the rest of he night.

My head was on her chest and my arms were wrapped around her. My mind continuously replayed the text message in my head.  My body was still numb. Corri took down my ponytail and played in my hair as she hummed. I could feel her breath on my forehead, she smelled like roses. My body became less tense and I grew comfortable.

I've never just laid in bed with someone in silence, we were always doing other things. It was nice and so was she.
