Unholy

Basically the song Unholy by Hey Violet in the form of a story with alex and tobin

——————————————————

Been having thoughts all the time you and I and they won't go away, I kinda like what it's like in my mind I don't wanna be saved

Alex returned home from work. exhausted from her long day, she set her cream colored hand bag aside and went to the kitchen to settle her roaring stomach. After popping some leftover lasagna in the oven, she set a timer and went to take a shower. While grabbing her towel to dry off, Alex heard the front door open and close shut. Knowing who it is, she quickly dried off and put some comfortable clothes on. As she walked out in to the living room, she saw him. He was standing in the kitchen peeking in the oven. the aroma of home cooked lasagna filled the small apartment.

"Hey Serv," she kissed him on his cheek, her soft lips meeting rough facial scruff. "How was work?" She asked.

"It was good, It's Jenny's birthday today, the one I told you about from accounting, so we threw her a surprise party in the office." He explained.

"That's nice, we should've gotten her something."

"Nah she told me she didn't want anything." He said shortly.

They continued to have small talk, conversing politely as if they had just met and not living together for the past year. That's what Alex hated the most. No matter how much time she spent with him, she could never feel 100% comfortable. No matter how hard she tried and believe her, she tried she always felt on edge.

After eating dinner, the both of them went to their shared bedroom when she felt his rough hand on her waist. Although it was warm, it didn't feel welcomed. His touch sending her to a tense pause.

She felt his hands slowly trying to peel her shirt off of her torso.

Every night I'm undressing with him and I'm thinking of you, yeah I know it's the wrong thing to do but I kinda want to.

"Serv," she took his hands in hers and held them.

"Is there something wrong?" His voice sounding sincere.

"No, I just-" she paused, trying to find the right words. "I don't feel like it tonight."

"I'm sorry babe. Let's get to sleep yeah?"

With a soft smile and a nod, she agreed and got under the covers. She felt bad. Really bad. He doesn't deserve this. The truth is, he's a great guy, but her heart was with someone else. She tried to make this work so hard. She did. Yet the dirty blonde remained in her thoughts. And she knew from the start. She knew that his smile could never compare to hers. His rough yet warm hands could never compare to the midfielder's soft, delicate ones.

As Alex tried to sleep, she smiled as she thought about her. She remembered how she always smelled intoxicating, no matter what shampoo or perfume she used. With those thoughts she drifted off to a tense sleep, wishing tan arms were wrapped around her waist at that very moment yet she felt comforted by the thought of tomorrow. Tomorrow it'll be good. Tomorrow she will see her again.

Say your name while it dawns outside,
getting shivers running down my spine

It was exactly 6:34am when she stepped inside Tobin's apartment. Smelling some mixture of vanilla and roses.

"Tobin?" She called out. A few moments later the midfielder's tan figure came out of one of the rooms, dressed casually yet she still managed to catch Alex's eye every time.

A smile immediately appeared on both of their faces. Giving each other a hug, they pulled away slightly, looking into each other's eyes and feeling whole again.
