I Found Him On My Doorstep <3

I like the Dark.

He was like a Robot for the rest of the day. He didn’t speak, he didn’t do anything but just stare into space. I didn’t even bother speaking to either Peter or Lily.

Once we got home we dumped our stuff at the front door and he headed straight for our room. Wait? Our Room? I guess that’s what it was now. Adam had football practice and mum was at her second job. I decided to give him some room and went to watch T.V. People seriously need to wise up and realise that they can’t just do things like that. I was furious with Peter.

I got my laptop and logged onto Facebook.

“Today has made me realise who my real friends are” I posted. A couple of people liked it but they’ll never know the story behind it. Cody was a real friend. He is here for me just like I am for him.

I made my way to my room and lightly tapped the door. He didn’t answer so I walked on in. There he was lying on the bed sleeping. His face looked so peaceful through the puffiness that today’s events had caused. I lay down beside him wanting too, to be peaceful for a couple of hours. I rolled into his warmth and I got my wish.

I woke up to see that it was dark outside. How long was I asleep? I got up and walked into the kitchen to realise that the house was really quiet. What’s going on?

“Yewwwww” I heard coming from the living room. “I ran in to see my Mum, Adam and Cody all cheering at something on TV.

“I see your all bonding.” I stated. “Thanks for waking me up” I shot a Cody. Not in a harsh way.

“You looked at peace...I didn’t want to ruin it.” He replied eyes glued to the TV. It’s as if he read my mind when I watched him sleeping.

“What are you watching?” I asked. As soon as the question was out of my mouth the T.V flickered black and all the lights went off. “What happened I asked?” The streetlights are still on.

“Oh...” I heard mummy say. “I knew I had forgotten something.”

“What is it mum?” I asked, trying to make my way over to her but I couldn’t see her.

“I forgot to pay for the electricity bill this month, they’ve cut us off. I don’t have enough money to cover it now either.” She sighed.

“I’ll pay for it if you want?” Cody piped up. Huh?

“Oh Darling you don’t have to do that?” Mummy replied.

“No seriously. Did my mum not give you any money at all for me? Is that not a bit rude? Just dumping someone on you and not evening helping you money wise. She’s worse than I thought.” Cody said to my mum.

“Sweetheart I really don’t mind. Don’t stress over it. I’m sure someone of your age doesn’t have a lot of money anyway.” Oh but that’s where you’re wrong. She mustn’t know about Cody being famous.

“I’ll go home tomorrow and get some, I’ve got more than you think.” I could tell that Cody was not ready to give up this fight.

“Well...okay then...” she said slowly.

“Is it okay if I go during school because, mum and dad will be at work...I don’t really want to face my mum yet.  Not after yesterday.”

“I don’t know about letting you skip school. It’s not right...” she realised that Cody was going to do it even if she said no. “Okay fine...Toni...you go with him. Seriously Cody you really know how to persuade a person. Time for bed.”

Her and Adam left the living room and went to bed. I sat down on the sofa beside Cody and swung my legs over his lap.

“You need to tell me your secret. I could never get her to let me skip school.” I said exasperated.

“It’s all in the charm” he replied smugly. Even in the dark I could tell that he had a smirk on his face. I laughed and we fell into a comfortable silence. He set his hand down on my leg and started drawing patterns on my skin. I had fallen asleep in my uniform so it was all wrinkled. So was his. We looked a mess. Even though it was dark I could tell. We stayed on that sofa for a while talking. Just talking about random stuff that had no meaning.

“Do I seem like I’m a bad person?” Cody asked.

“Uhhh...No” I said in a ‘Duh’ voice. “Where did that come from?”

“Well...What Peter said today. Do I really come across like that? A Pretty boy that only wants one thing...” he asked. Seriously every time I get him to stop thinking about all this stuff someone reopens the wound and spurs vinegar over it.

“Cody. Don’t pay attention to Peter or Lily. There just jealous that I’ve got another friend. It’s always just been us three. I guess their just scared that if I start getting closer to you then I won’t have time for them anymore. Quite frankly I am furious with the both of them.” I explained to him. This was not the way that I expected them to react to Cody. I thought that they would have welcomed him with open arms. Hoe naive can you be?

“Come” I said, “Bed”

We got up and made our way to my room while trying not to trip over the things that we couldn’t see. I crashed onto my bed while he pulled his out. Oh I still have to get my pyjamas on. I got up and started stripping. Cody did to only this time he didn’t bother putting any pyjama shorts on he just lay in bed with his underwear on. I got into bed and yawned. You’d think after sleeping earlier I wouldn’t be tired, but I was.

“Night Cody.” I whispered.

“Night Toni, Love you.” This time I was sure that he was awake to say it. Should I say it? It’d only be in a best friend sort of way right?

“Love you too.
