Heart Race [Joe and Caspar]

[1]

A/N

So I started this story because I really wanted to and I deleted my other stories because I wanted to. Also this chapter is dedicated to tiedships because she helped me with this story so yeah. And this is also writen in third person POV. Finally, this story is based in late 2016- summerish 2017 so don't get confused.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A JASPAR STORY! IT JUST HAS JOE AND CASPAR IN IT!

Enjoy!

********

The ticking noises from her auburn clock are what kept Melissa's thoughts awake most nights in misery. As her restless, uneasy body tossed and turned at 2:47 AM, her partner, Joe, slept safe and sound. Consumed in all his dreams.

As Melissa continued tossing and turning in the night, she managed to wake up Joe. Joe, obviously miffed, turned to face his partner of a year and softly whispered, "Babe, you need your sleep. This is the seventh time this month that I have told you this. Now c'mon."

As he protected Melissa (as if to keep her from the pain of the world) inside his arms, in the room next to them, is where another couple layed in their bed. Their names are Hannah and Caspar. They are more used to staying up late at night.

What they do at night varies. Some nights they watch Netflix. Other nights they go on Tumblr. But tonight, they hit the hay early since they had a very long, excruciating day filled with many activities.

As Hannah's and Caspar's legs were entangled, arms around each other, wrapped up in each other's love, so were Joe's and Melissa's. But while everyone slept, Melissa was still awake. Her grim thoughts consumed her once more.

They don't really love you

This is all staged.

Why would anyone ever love or care for you?

After all, you ARE a worthless, pointless, mediocre scum.

Every night, these words all played through her head more than once. But she would always brush them off to the side and never tell anyone. She never classified herself as depressed, just sad sometimes. More times than not, but not depressed.

This became sort of a daily routine for her. Staying up until three everynight consumed by her grim thoughts. Then until five, she spent the her time staring off at her off-white ceiling that, if you look at it close enough, you could still see all of the dents, cracks, and paint chippings that were there since Joe and Caspar moved into this apartment two years ago. (A/N: like I said, this story is based in 2016)

When her auburn, run down clock that should be thrown in the trash instead of at her beside table showed 5 in the morning, she dozed off.

*~*

Melissa's slumber didn't last long, since she was awoken at 9:30 by Joe's more high-tech looking clock blaring off, telling them both to wake up and start a new day. But as usual, they don't ever leave their bed until Melissa's clock blared at 10. This time, they get out of their bed and prepare for the day.

Like every morning, Joe goes first in the shower while Melissa prepares breakfast for everyone in the house. This morning, she decides to make pancakes and sausages. She makes pancakes enough for two each and sausages for two each. But instead of making eight sausages, she made only six since she is a vegetarian.

By now, Joe is all finished with his shower and getting ready, so he heads out to eat breakfast. Melissa takes his spot in the shower, but not before waking up Hannah and Caspar, telling them that breakfast is ready.
