January

Chapter 6

|Chapter Six|

Today was my last day to get ready for my date. This morning I woke up snuggled in Ace's chest and held securely in his arms.

His warmth was so inviting to me that it made me want to hold on to him and never let go. Ace did funny things to me that I will never understand.

The way his eyes always held in me In a captive state showing me the gates of his soul is something I'll never get.

The way his words always wrapped around my mind and putting me in a daze is something I'll never be tired of.

Everything about Ace is a mystery, at school he's just known as that one cool guy who's good at everything and has looks but you could tell that in reality that wasn't Ace.

Or I at least could tell.

Ace was surely a mystery to me. I'll never understand how he can be so patient and calm and full of life when in our little moments together I could see his gates of loneliness that cried for attention and love.

And sometimes I felt selfish of that. Ace was so Invested in me that I don't think he ever has to time to wonder if he's ok.

Because sometimes the happiest souls who are full of comfort are the ones who needs comfort. Ace Daniels was full of comfort to give but none to keep.

My grandma always told me if you keep giving to others before yourself you'll end up in a hole of discomfort and depression Because you've done forgot what being given to felt like.

I wonder if that's how Ace feel, does the boy with the grey eyes full of smoking mirrors and slowly dying stars feel lonely and lost?

If so it was up to me to keep him from there. If Ace can put up with me then I'd have to do the same for him and myself. I have to show him that I can hold myself up and still be invested in him so he can take time to himself too.

It's a double way road I guess. I slowly moved out of Ace's arms and sat up looking out of the window. It was still dark outside but there was a little light trying to light up the sky.

I turned to the night stand on my side of the bed to get my phone. I checked the time and saw it was 5:30. We should probably get up now so we won't be late for school, plus I'm not sure if Ace brought a extra pair of clothing.

I got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. I looked on the sink counter to see my glasses and went blind for a second.

You ever have the moment where you Forget you're not wearing your glasses and everything seems fine but then when you realize you don't have them on and you go blind.

No? Oh....

I put my glasses on and then let my hair out of it's bun from last night. It was now wavy and in all honesty I could care less.

I walked back to my room to see Ace still sleeping and smirked. I grabbed a pillow from of the bed and then smacked him hard in the head.

He sat up quickly with narrowed eyes and then turned to look at me. I put my hands up while laughing, "Ace don't get mad you have to get up and go home so you can change for school" I said stepping away from the bed.

A smirk appeared on Ace face and he jumped out of the bed like a crazy dog. Without thought my legs ran downstairs and to the kitchen where I tried to hide under the wooden table.

I heard Ace's feet walk in the kitchen and then got scared when I saw them right in front of me. "January come on you're going to make us late! I know how much you love school" he said while tapping his fingers on the table.
