•3• Actually Happy

(A/N: I'm in love with this song😍❤)

Y/N's POV

I slowly opened my eyes. At first I forgot where I was. I looked up and saw Richie's face. He was still asleep and he looked so peaceful too. I smiled to myself and layed back down on his chest. I don't think I've ever been this happy.

Richie was still asleep. Until I felt him start moving around. I was still laying on his chest. I slowly sat up and looked down at him. I thought he woke up but he didn't. Man, this boy can sleep. I couldn't stop myself from looking at him. I know I've only known him for like a day but god am I already falling this hard? I mean look at him! What's not to like? His one million freckles sprinkled on his nose and cheeks, his curly hair that has a mind of its own, and his thick glasses that make his chocolate brown eyes look huge but adorable. Not only is his features just flawless but his personality is just the best. He never seems to be sad. Ever. He's a wild kid who has the mental age of a two year old. His jokes are endless. Would he ever like me back? "Do I have something on my face?" Richie said snapping me out of my thoughts. "Um.." I looked away while my face turned red. Richie chuckled at my embarrassment and got up while putting his glasses on. "C'mon shortcake, I'll make you breakfast." I laughed at this nickname and we went downstairs.

We got done eating and decided to go for a walk. "So, what are you going to do?" Richie asked me. I looked at him, "What do you mean?" "I probably got you in more trouble than you are already in with your mom." He replied softly looking down. I grabbed his arm and stopped him. "Hey, it's not your fault. I really appreciate what you did for me. No one has truly cared for me like you did." I smiled at him. "Oh I have an idea! Why don't you just stay with me for a while?" My eyes widened. "Umm.. Richie we barely know each other." " I know but we can get to know each other and I will know that you are safe." I blushed at what he said. I thought for a second. Wouldn't it be weird? I mean I guess I can sleep on the couch or something. And yes I really want to get to know Richie better. "But what about your parents?" His face frowned a little. "They left me. My uncle pays rent and then my aunt buys food and sends it to me. But they don't want to live here and take care of me." A tear fell down his cheek. "Richie I'm so sorry." I felt so bad for him. I don't want him to be alone. We walked silently for a few seconds. "I'll live with you." I blurted out. He looked at me surprised. "Really? Are you sure?" I nodded and smiled in response. He did a little happy dance which made me laugh. The rest of the day we hung out and went to the arcade. It was amazing! Nothing could ruin it.. Or so I thought.
