Suicide House

Chapter 11

It is 1:30 in the morning so I dunno how good this will be....

Alex-
I woke up wrapped in the warm arms of someone else, my face resting against their chest and their head in my hair. I relaxed in that position for as long as I could, enjoying the sensation of someone who actually cared for me. Just wrapped up and safe in the embrace.

Soon enough the person shifted and I got to see who it was. It was John Laurens. A wonderful, kind, demon. I couldn't understand the old descriptions of demons. John was most definitely warm and felt very human, he didn't have big pointy horns or fierce claws. He was just John.

I could feel the movement of the soft person under me as he shifted slightly, waking up to see a new day.

"Hello freckles," I said in greeting. He was still trying to gather his bearings on where he was. He looked at me in confusion.

"Freckles?" He questioned after a moment.

"Yeah. You have freckles!"

"I.. I have freckles?"

"Yeah! They're like a little Galaxy!"

He trailed his fingers over the bridge of his nose delicately. A soft smile gracing his features.

Maria interrupted the moment.

"Breakfast is ready!" She called down the stairs, her voice ringing down into the small room. John smiled and helped me to my feet, he was most definitely more human than ghost today, it made me happy and gave me a feeling that I couldn't quite place...

The two of us went to the kitchen to enjoy the breakfast that Maria had set up for us, nobody mentioned the storm and for that I was greatful.
(I'm going to sleep so personal time skip, I'll write the rest in the morning) (ok I'm back it's 11 am so this should work)

We all sat there in a comfortable silence before Maria excused herself to go check the damage in the garden.

John and I sat for a little bit, not doing anything really. I interrupted the quiet.

"What are we?" I asked, I know, classic movie thing... But I needed to know.

"What are we..." He mused and mulled over the words for a moment,"Well, I suppose we are what you want. I mean we've kissed and admitted our love to each other but are still just us..." I nodded.

"That's true... I. Would like to ask you John Laurens to be my boyfriend."

He grinned and nodded before smashing his lips against mine. In that moment we were perfect.

The rest of the day went by too fast, I had spent the entire time laughing. It was such a wonderful time to be alive! I fell asleep that night enjoying John's company, we were together now and that's all that mattered.

The next morning I didn't see Maria or John. Angelica wasn't on the couch and Eliza wasn't in the garden. It was fairly lonely and I didn't talk to anyone all day. I saw Peggy from a distance but that was the only person. I felt very dejected by time night came around.

You're useless. Nobody actually loves you. Just another bastard that the world has to put up with.

I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts. John loved me and Maria was my best friend. They loved me. I had all the ghosts, they were friends too. No matter what I was loved. They didn't just leave me. I knew that.

Soon enough I fell asleep, a soft breeze slipping through my open window. I knew I was loved.

Sorry, this is short... I can write tomorrow morning, I'm driving for four hours so I was write then... Anyways ily!~Megan
