~Day 18~

song: BANNERS - someone to you

I sighed as I sat on the roof of my house that I shared with my best friends just staring at the sky blankly, it was pitch black with dull stars, the moon also seemed a little dull. I pulled my knees closer to my chest as I rested my head on my knees, I had just found out my (brother/sister) had just passed because of a mass shooting at a convention he went to for his birthday. Tears filled my eyes as I thought of all the times we spent together, I dug my face into my legs as I began to sob.

Suddenly something fell onto my shoulders, looking up I saw there was a blanket around me as someone sat beside me, "Tom?" I asked my voice quite and shakey I wiped my eyes, "what are you doing up here it's freezing!" I sniffled, I was about to take the blanket off me and put around tom.

he put his hand on mine, stopping me from taking it off, his eyes were looking up at the sky as he did so, " it's beautiful out, isn't it?" I sniffled again as I glanced at the stars, they seemed to brighten up as Tom spoke, I returned my eyes to look at him again, "I thought I would find you up here, I heard what happened." He looked at me as I just gazed at him, tears still in my eyes, my mouth was straight as my body posture slacked. the blanket was still over me. He smiled sadly as he looked back at the sky, "life sure does suck doesn't it?"

I looked down at my hands that rested on my legs, "Tom go back inside, its cold out here, you might get sick." I told him as I took the blanket off and put it on his shoulders. Tom shook his head as he pulled me into him and wrapped us both in the blanket, "Tom?" I asked him as I stared at him.

"Hmm?" He hummed.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked as I felt him tense slightly, he shrugged after a few moments passed by.

"Why not. You seemed upset, you'd do the same if I was me." He answered,  he wrapped an arm around me and made me sit between his legs,  resting my back into his chest then wrapped us in the blanket again. "You're always putting others before yourself, don't get me wrong it's good to put other before you but I still understand why you are so kind to those who treat you badly. I don't see why you don't just turn your back on them, but you don't and you actually care for them and look out for them. And it baffles me as to why you do it, so why, why do you do it?" I spaced out again as I thought back to all the times others had thrown me away as if I was a piece of dirt, just leaving me out on my own never caring for me.

"Because I know what it feels like to be left alone in the dark and everyone to turn away from me in disgust." Tears filled my eyes once more as I turned so my cheek rested on his chest and I curl up into a ball. He stroked my hair,  "everyone I've ever known has either forgotten about me or just pretends I don't exist. Everyone I've ever loved didn't even love me back or are dead! I'm a failure! Everyone hates me and its all my fault!" I cried into his chest.

He hugged me, "your not a failure, people do love you, I love  you." I looked up at his face with red cheeks,  eyes red and tears running down my face.

"You do?" I couldn't believe it.

"Of course I do!" He smiled and kissed my for head. "Your the best thing that's ever happened to me" His smile was warm,  and I melted on the inside.

"Thank you, Tom, I don't know what I would do without you." Hugged him back ands snuggled with him for the rest of the night until the sun started to raise. After watching it emerge from the clouds we went back inside the house and cuddled in his room and slept for a bit.

Sure, life sucks. But just remember we all have that one person who we couldn't imagine life without. Keep them close they may not be there for long.

Love you all
