i don't know why shay was put in the hospital but i know it wasn't just because of that outburst he had at his home because he would've been discharged ages ago. i don't know if i have a right to worry then i remind myself that we're best friends. i need to care. after all, we've been through so much together. been inseparable since we were three years of age at kindergarden. can't really let that go to waste because of petty differences obviously due to hormones and puberty. right?

that night i was lying awake in bed thinking about things. just random things. i thought, i haven't had a boyfriend... ever. because whenever i'm close to getting one shay always scares them away from me. he's so overprotective it's crazy.

sometimes it's good though, to know that i have someone to keep me safe and secure always.

i stared up at my ceiling and thought about how shay and i had got into a paint fight whilst we were causally painting my room the beautiful violet colour i've always loved. over the years i've changed quite a bit. i used to be a complete tomboy. you'd never see me with my hair down or in any amount of girly clothes. two years ago i changed, i wore dresses with boots and leather jackets. skirts and converses. shorts with tank tops. i started showing off skin finally almost feeling comfortable in who i was. throughout those changes, shay has always been supportive, even through my periods. i can a real nasty piece of work then as well. he's put up with me and when he needs my help i do what i did. i realised i needed to do my return of the favour. i need to act like a best friend should again.

okay so now i knew this conversation was going nowhere. how did i know that? well basically if i say hey and he replies with hi, it means he's in a shit mood meaning he will do his very best to destroy me. and will succeed.
