Just Him & I

9.

He sat up and sat opposite me, I wiped his face and ran my hands through his hair. His eyes were bloodshot and puffy from crying. Mine were too, just not as bad. He then laid down, using me as a pillow, and held my hand. Slowly, I started singing, "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey..."- Nelly used to sing him this when he was sad. He closed his eyes as I played with his hair. He must of fell asleep because his hand loosened from mine. I escaped from behind him and put the duvet over him. I went to the kitchen and looked at the clock, it was 5:48pm. I decided to start cooking dinner. I could hear Will snoring from the kitchen, he must of tired himself out from the crying. 'Bless him' I thought to myself. Nelly and him weren't close, but she helped him through some of the toughest times. She was a lovely woman, one of the sweetest I'd ever met. She always used to be at the café when it was my shift, she always ordered a flat white and a slice of carrot cake. I even loved her as a mother because me and my own weren't close at all. Anyways back to cooking, Wills favourite was homemade burgers so I got some mince out of the freezer and started making them.
