Blue Angel [Amberprice FF]

The Junkyard.

I waited and waited for hours in the shack. I've sent her texts without getting any answers and after a while, I realized - that I'm stupid. How could I think that Rachel wants to ha-.

"Hey, Chloe. I'm sorry, my parents tried to convince me not to hang out with you, saying stuff about being a bad influence, so I waited until they went to bed and tiptoed out of there. I know it's late already but I hope you're willing to stay a bit, please?" She came. And gave me an explanation even though she doesn't owe me anything. "Glad you came. I actually was about to leave but now that you're here, I guess I have to stay for a while. No, seriously. Thanks for coming. It means a lot." She gave me a worried look. "Damn Price. Always thought you were a tough kid. But you're actually deep as fuck. I like that." She smiled at me. "Well, that's me. I'm acting all tough at school so nobody will feel sorry for me. But I'm actually a human wreck. But why do I tell that to the most popular girl at school. I'm sure you have the perfect life, no worries."

I caught her looking to the floor with a sad face. "Well, sorry to let you down on that. Even I do have problems. When you saw me crying the last day, it was because of the play, yes. But let me get something straight. It was the last thing I had. My parents aren't interested in whatever I do as long as I keep my grades up. My friends at school aren't really my friends. They don't know me. When anyone of them would see me like this, they would get me a beer and that's it. That's why I wanted to meet you. You are different, I think." She then breathed hard.

"I didn't know that. Anything of it. It... feels kinda weird to hang out with you and tell you about my life but as you might know, my dad died in a car crash. I blamed him for leaving until I realized that this is ridiculous. To that time, my best friend, sorry, ex best friend, moved away and never talked to me again. And now with my stepdouche moving in, the situation won't get any better. That's why I am how I am." She laid her head on my shoulder. Normally I'd push people off but it made her calm.

"I'm sorry for being ignorant. You deserve better, Chloe Price." - "But so do you. Sorry about the incident a day ago." She didn't say anything, just laid on my shoulder. I didn't care. "It actually feels like we know each other our whole lifes." I couldn't think of anything better to say. "So you feel it, too? I actually really enjoy your company. Even when it's silent. Is it okay, when I close my eyes, I'm getting sleepy." I shook my head. "If you don't want to go home, I'll take you to me. Stepdad isn't there and my mom has the early shift. The only thing is - you'd have to share the bed with me, is that ok?" She laughed and put her hand over her heart. "Chloe Price, it would be an honor for me to sleep right next to you but would you borrow me some clothes tomorrow?" I simply nodded. "Sure thing. If you wanna sleep, go for it. I'll carry you." She laughed again. "Thanks but I think I can walk on my own."

Figures. I came home with her on my arms. She was snoring like a weasel. I put her to bed and jumped right next to her, ready to sleep. "Night Rachel.", I whispered, I didn't want to wake her up. "Night Chloe and thanks for carrying me." That little shit. "You were awake the whole time? You little shit, next time I will drop you right into the dirt. Well, what if I bump you outta the bed right now?" And with that, I gave her a small bump but not enough to let her fall out of the bed. Actually, it was enough to scare her. "Holy shit, ok, I understand, Price. I'll never do that again." We both laughed.

It was actually short before I was about to fall asleep when Rachel said that she was getting a little cold. "I don't have another blanket, though." She smirked mischievously. "Well, then be my blanket??" She wasn't serious, right? "Woah, don't you think that this is a bit fast? From talking to meeting and now cuddling?" I told her. "Well, it's just cuddling if you pretend it to be cuddling." Smart ass. "K, come here and let me sleep now." I threw my arm around her and fell asleep within seconds. So did she I guess.

And it was actually nice to have someone next to me.
