   I got home from taking Gabbie to the airport so she could go visit her parents for the three day weekend. Though who knows, Gabbie loves her family a lot so I actually have no idea how long she'll be staying.

I plopped onto the couch, and immediately smiled when I realized I finally had time to watch what I've been wanting to watch for a couple of weeks now. Stranger Things. I smiled as I eagerly turned on the tv and began the first episode of the second season.

After an hour or so, I was absolutely shook from the episode. The first episode was so good, and I could not wait to continue and finish the whole series this afternoon. Just as I was about to press play off the second episode, there was a knock on my door.

I was slightly confused as to who it would be since Gabbie was gone, and I had told those girl scouts to leave so many times. I got up and opened the door, only to meet eyes with the one and only, David Dobrik. He was soaked because of the sudden hard rain that had come but his eyes were bloodshot red. It looked as though that he had been crying.

"David, come in. Are you okay, what happened?" I asked worriedly as he came inside, and more tears came to his eyes.

"I'm so sorry L-Liza..." He stuttered shivering to himself as he looked down, and a tear fell. "I shouldn't even be crying over such stupid shit, but I couldn't handle it anymore." David told me.

   "Hey, whatever you're crying over, it's probably not a stupid reason, at all." I reassured him as I noticed him shivering. "Hey, let me get you a blanket and we can sit on the couch, and you can tell me everything." I said in a soft tone as he just nodded in response.

   I brought him over a blanket, and softly wrapped it around him as I placed my arm around him. As we sat on the couch, I released my hand from around his shoulder an placed it onto his shoulder.

   "Now, please tell me." I said as he began telling me the whole drama.

   As he was telling me, I felt my body tense up. He was so pained and worn out, I could really tell by the look in his eyes. My heart ached, as he explained the situation with incredibly teary eyes. At the same time, though I could feel my heart slowly begin to beat faster and faster. Had his friend really known that my ex was going to be there, but he didn't tell David? That was a shit face move. It even made me a little pissed more than heartbroken.

   "... and Liza, I'm just so incredibly sorry for taking you to that damn party. I really should've asked Alex who was gonna be there instead of just taking you there." David said with cracks of his semi-high pitched voice as tears still streamed down his face.

   "David... don't be sorry none of this is your fault at all. You had no idea he was gonna forgive, and it's not like I wouldn't have ever seen him again. It's fates fault, definitely not yours. I mean it's not like it wasn't gonna end up disastrous anyway. We all know that every party I go to, ends up somewhat bad." I explained to David, as I placed a hand on his shoulder, as he frowned looking down. "David please, it wasn't your fault. Besides that, I hate seeing you so sad like this. I know this sounds really cheesy, but you're like, this sunshine, who brights up every room they enter. And seeing you like this, it just breaks my heart. It really does." I admit as I blush as our eyes exchange a stare.

   "You really mean that Liza?" He questioned me as I nodded in response. "Of course." I smiled softly and looked at the ground as I felt a pair of eyes on me still.

"Thank you Liza, that really helped." I felt Davids arms suddenly wrap around me, and my face lit up as I hugged him right back.

   "It's not a problem David, I just really don't like seeing you so sad like that." I admit to him, and place a hand on his shoulder. "Overall though, I'm glad to help you."

He smiled up at me once more, and our eyes locked up for a couple moments. I could feel heat running through my body, a good kind of heat. "Look, I should probably um, go. You seemed like you were having an amazing afternoon watching Stranger Things 2 and I really don't wanna interrupt that." David said interrupting the moment, and I immediately denied him.

"No, it's seriously okay. You can stay for the weekend if you'd like. I certainly wouldn't want you to go home or spend a weekend at your motel by yourself either. Seriously, I'd love a little company since Gabbie is gone for the weekend..." I looked up at him.

"Alrighty, I guess I can stay if it's seriously not a problem for you." He shrugged as I smiled and stood up.

"Great, now neither of us will be alone." I admit, and smiled as I sat on the couch, as he slightly smiled but mostly frowned. "Hey look, I know how to cheer you up a bit." I pout at him as he tilted his head. "And what would that be?" He asked.

"I'm gonna make you your very own homemade Chipotle, and we're gonna sit back on the couch and we're gonna watch whatever you'd like on Netflix." I smiled, as he chuckled weakly, and sat back on my couch.

"Can you even cook little brown girl?" He said through the slight laughter in his voice, as I snarked playfully at him. "Actually chipotle, I can make food, and actually make it pretty good too." I playfully snapped at him.

   "We'll see about that when you're burning down your house, by turning on your stove." David joked as I rolled my eyes with laughter.

   "Oh whatever David, you're gonna love my food without a doubt." I tell him, as I begin to get up and fix him some homemade Chipotle.

   David and I spent that afternoon, eating the surprisingly good homemade Chipotle I made and binge watching Stranger Things on Netflix. It was the most relaxing thing that had happen in the past few months that I've known David. I  felt so comfortable and safe when I sat in the room with David. He always made me feel like this though, completely safe and comfortable. I've never felt that with anyone before, not a single person. Which is why David was probably my best friend, even after Gabbie. He made me feel that way, even Lucas had never made me feel like this.
