High Off Love

Chapter 2

May 24th

It's 5am and I'm wide awake. I get out of my bed, brush my teeth, and brush my hair. I walk out of my room and knock on Toby's door.

I have to knock a couple times before I hear him moan something. When he opens the door he still looks asleep.

"Let's go eat breakfast." I say blankly.

"It's 5:15 in the morning."

"I know. You said yesterday to do this again, so let's go get breakfast." I explain.

"Ok hold on. Come on in." He says rubbing his eyes as I walk into his room.

The smell in his room smells good. It's almost unexplainable. I look over at him and his shirt is off. I can't help but stare. His muscles perfectly sculpted. When I see him looking at me I look away. I see him putting a shirt on out of the corner of my eye.

"Let's go." He says.

I follow him out of his room. We walk down to the cafeteria.

"I want pancakes." He says with a smirk. Then walks over to the line for pancakes.

I walk over to the bacon line. We sit together at the same table as yesterday.

"So what do we call this?" He asks referring to us eating together.

"We don't need to call them anything," I say and put a piece of bacon in my mouth.

"I was thinking dates but if you don't see anything of them then I will stop calling them that." He says then does his cute little smirk.

A date. A date?

"Okay a date in a rehab. These might be the best dates I have ever been on!" I say sarcastically.

"I'm pretty romantic aren't I?" He says as he bats his eyelashes.

He start laughing. Then I realize what I am actually doing. Why would I do this? If I hangout with this guy I am going to start to have feelings for him.

I have to get up and go back to my room. And that is what I do. I hear him get up and come after me.

"Alice! Wait! What did I do?" He says still coming after me.

He catches up to me and grabs my arm. I turn around quickly to yell at him, but I end up being really close to him. Kissing distance. I feel his breath on my face. I look at him in the eyes. He has beautiful eyes. And the most amazing smile. No. He can't do this to me.

I turn around and get to my room but he follows me in my room.

"Stop. What is going on? We were having such a great time." He says with worried eyes.

"I can't do this." I say and look down.

"Do what?" He says stepping closer.

"I can't get to know you. I can't laugh with you. I can't go on dates with you. I can't get to know you. And I will never put my heart in your hands to break it!" I explain.

"Look, I don't know your past. I don't know what some guy ever did to you, but just give me a chance." He just says all the right things.

Then I look into his eyes. I don't just look, I fall. I fall deep into his eyes. I nod. All I do is nod.

"I have a movie to show you." He says and grabs my hand as we walk over to his room.

He turns on movie. "It's called stuck in love. Have you seen it?" He turns to me and asks.

I shake my head no. After he presses play, he goes and jumps on his bed. He lays on his stomach then looks at me. He gives me a smirk then pats next to him on his bed. Should I lay next to him? Yes we aren't going to do anything but watch this movie. I go and lay next to him.

I end up crying during the movie and Toby smiles at me when I do. Overall is it topped favorite movies.

"So you like chick flicks?" I turn to him.

"Well.. Some, I like some of them." He says, embarrassed.

"Want to have dinner together?" I ask.

"Yes! I mean sure I have nothing better to do here." He tries to play it cool.

"Ok I'm going to go." I say then walk back to my room.

If he breaks my heart I will die. I can't handle another heart break. I walk over to my calendar and see that my mom is coming tomorrow. Great. Just great.
