Chapter Three ; Soft Talk

No longer did my eyes feel like a ton. The only weight on me was the weight of three other blankets that I somehow didn't notice when I went to sleep. Each of them had a different graphic design of a video game. Throwing them off me, I let my legs dangle off the bed. My jeans felt like they were choking my legs - I just have to take them off. When I get home I'll let my legs breathe. One thing was also different. Awsten wasn't here.

Sounds from a television erupted suddenly, earning a curse from Awsten. He probably turned the T.V on and it was at a loud volume. The volume turned down but Awsten's cursing didn't stop.

"Shit, shit, shit," he repeated, walking into the room I was in. "Sorry I woke you."

"It's okay, I woke up before the noise." Stepping on the wooden floor, it creaked underneath my feet. All the blood rushed to my legs, leaving me dizzy. By this time Awsten realized what had happened and offered to help me walk. I put my arm around his neck, planting all my weight on him.

Helping me walk while my head felt hazy, Awsten let me sit on the couch and collect myself. The television was playing a kid's show but I don't want to change it because what else is on at six in the morning?

Emerging from the kitchen, the purple-haired boy held a plate in both hands, both having a pancake with syrup on them. Is it possible I've just been blessed with an angel? Taking one of the plates, I could almost smell how wonderful it is.

In just a few minutes we finished our breakfast. Today was going to be a boring day. Sundays always are. While putting the plate into the sink, I felt something on my shoulder. Awsten's head was placed lightly on me, making butterflies appear in my stomach.

He knew I was going to leave soon. Turning around, I smiled at Awsten and passed by him, going back to the living room. I swear I heard him say something to himself, however, I was already in the other room, far too far away to hear.

Collecting my movies, I looked up to Awsten. He was leaning on the wall, a small grin on his face, studying the floor.

"See you later, Awsten." Walking towards him, I wrapped my arms around him, making sure he knew how much he means to me. Him being alone constantly makes me fearful, so I need to show him his importance while I'm around.

Exiting the apartment, I started to feel empty. What am I supposed to do today? The entire day I'm just gonna be at home watching television or something more boring.

An idea popped into my head and I couldn't ignore it. Today I can go to the park like I do on weekdays.

Parking my car in my apartment's parking lot, I went straight to the park, making sure to grab my notebook from the glove department.

Popping my earphones in, I took brave strides down the sidewalk. The familiar trees were pleasing to look at, reminding of my destination. Sounds of children screaming out laughs made me know I was closer than ever to my favourite park.

The grass was a yellowish-green and looks like it was never watered. Sitting down by a nearby tree, I opened my notebook, pulling the pen out from the spiral at the side of it.

February 18, 2018

Yesterday I hung out with Awsten. We've been hanging out a lot recently. Next week I'm going on tour with him and his band. It took some convincing but I finally agreed to go with him. Now that I'm thinking about it, he never told me where. I'm not going to ask, I'd like to keep it as a surprise. Also, I haven't started packing. For an entire month, we're going to be on the road, I need to bring some of my things. Better start packing before I lose my interest in doing so. Next time I write I'll be on a tour bus or whatever they use to tour.
