What Happened on the Roof

Chapter one

Joan-

"Hey.. sorry I can't do the video today. Don't feel well. Bye." Thomas had sent him. Which was odd, Thomas never says bye and he always calls. I felt my stomach turn and I quickly grabbed my keys and headed to his apartment.

He said he has been sad lately and I've noticed he's not himself. I made it over there in about 10 minutes even though it's a 20-30 minute drive and I unlocked his door. No one was home, but as I went to leave I saw a note on the table.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't do it anymore. I don't know if this fall will kill me but if it does, I'm sorry. I love you all.
-Thomas"
I freaked out and ran up the stairs all the way up to the roof. What I saw I almost couldn't comprehend. Thomas was standing on the edge of the building holding his arms out. I screamed his name and started sprinting towards him. He jumped but I grabbed his arm. I'm usually not strong but in that moment I could've lifted a car. I pulled him back up and held him in my lap. He insisted he was okay to sit by himself but I refused to let go, I almost lost my best friend. I held him for about 10 minutes before we walked downstairs to his apartment. I told him I was staying for a while and that I was going to help him through this, so I dragged him with me and got a bunch of clothes and stuff I would need and headed back to his place.

"Thomas, I am so sorry." I said holding back tears.
"Joan, it wasn't your fault. You have nothing to be sorry for." Thomas said curling up next to me on the couch.
"You could have died!! How did I not know something was wrong?! I'm such a horrible friend. I'm so sorry. I just. Im-" I said, not finishing my sentence.
"No, this wasn't your fault. Don't think for a second it was. You're my best friend and I am so thankful for you. This was my own fault. Don't ever think this was on you. I love you so much Joan." He said, crying.
"I love you too." I said. I meant it too. I love him. More than just a friend, more than a best friend. I am in love with him.
"It's getting kind of late. Do you want to go to bed?" He said yawning.
"Yea, I'll get me some blankets from the closet. I'll see you in the morning." I said wishing I could sleep in his bed with him. Nothing sexual obviously, just warmth and comfort.
"What do you mean? Come on. You're sleeping in my bed. There's plenty of room. I'm not making you sleep on my couch while you're here." He said grabbing my wrist and pulling me up the stairs.

As we laid in bed I heard Thomas's breathing become steady as he fell asleep. I wasn't tired so I just laid there thinking about what could have happened. I was deep in thought when I felt Thomas wrap his arms around me and lay his head on my chest. I smiled and played with his hair. I fell asleep cuddling with Thomas, the happiest I had been in a long time.

A/N!!!
So, I think I might make this a day is a chapter and in my other story Joan was there for a week and so I have plans. I have plans. It doesn't say anything about them falling in love in the other story because I wanted it to be for this one. I promise I've got something planned. Usually I just make it up as I go. But I'm planning. 😄 hope you enjoyed!!! I love all of you guys, gals and nonbianary pals.
