Be Patient... Please.

Chapter 5

"H-Huh?!" I ask loudly. "I do NOT snore!" I stand straighter and cross my arms.

"Dude," he looks at me and amusement flashes through his eyes. "you totally do. You're like an infant elephant trying to make a louder noise than their parents. It's really funny" He snickers.

"U-uhm," I stutter. "Do I really sound like that?"

Oh gosh... I've already embarrassed myself in front of the person who aided me after I passed out. Again, just another mistake. I look down at the ground.

"You okay dude?" He asks worryingly. "Are you embarrassed? Don't be, I sound like a whale while I'm asleep." He smiles.

Oh god... Again, I can't get close to him. Why does he seem so... nice? It's hard NOT to want to be close to him, but I can't get close to him. After I let my guard down that's when... when they always leave me. Right when I was getting older and comfortable with my family... she left me. Just as I started trusting them, my friends betrayed me. I can't let my guard down anymore, never again, my heart wouldn't be able to take another fall like that. These past events control my everyday life. They cause very bad trust issues. since she left I have never trusted anyone the same. I started to trust some people I thought to be friends, just a little bit though. But even though the trust was so small they still found a way to break it. This has caused me to trust no one, not even myself. But this guy... somehow... Is just so... I don't know, whats the word? Confiding? Yeah, he's so confiding. I feel like I could just spill all my worries onto his lap, and he wouldn't even judge me. But I cant. I can feel tears sting at my eyes. Right away I try to stop them. It works, for now. My thoughts were interrupted by Larry.

"Sally?" He says in a mocking tone. "Anyone in there?"

"H-Huh?" I look up and face him. "S-sorry just lost in thought."

"Oh Sal, I have a quick question." He locks eyes with me. "It's Friday so, would you like to stay the night?"

Shit... This is just going to make me more comfortable with him. Though I can't deny his offer, he literally just took care of me.

"S-sure Larry," I say hesitantly. "sounds fun, I'll just have to go to my place real quick to grab some clothes."

"Dude," He takes a step forward. "let me grab your clothes for you. You're not healthy enough to be going and walking around. Please, let me go get them, just tell me what clothes you want."

(Little self-harm warning)

If he goes into my room he might see my extra glass eyes and find out one is fake... Or worse, my razor blades in my top dresser. Shit... guess I'll just tell him to grab random clothes from my floor.

"Okay," I look down at the floor. "Just grab some random clothes from my floor. I'll text my dad and let him know you'll be over."

He nodded and left the room to head for my apartment. I pick up my phone and text my father to let him know that Larry would be heading over there to grab me some clothes. I go to sit on the couch and wait for Larry to return. minutes later Larry comes back with a pile of clothes.

"Hey," Larry looks over to the couch where I'm sitting. "I brought you some pajamas and clothes for tomorrow. Go ahead and change in the bathroom."

He throws the pile of clothes onto my lap and walks to his bedroom. After he went inside his room I walk into the bathroom. I set the clothes on the counter and lock the door. For the first time, I inspect the clothes. Shit... for pajamas he packed me a short sleeve shirt. I take off the shirt I was originally wearing and inspect my arms. There were many littered scars on both arms. Some newer than others. Fuck. the new ones are really noticeable. I sigh. I put on the short sleeve shirt and sweatpants provided and walk out of the bathroom. I walk into Larry's room and I see him lounging on his bed. He then noticed that I entered the room.

"Hey Sal," He looked up from his phone. "I'm gonna let you sleep on my bed and I'll be sleeping on my bean bags, okay?"

"O-Okay," I stutter. "but are you sure you're okay with sleeping on the bean bags? I'm fine with sleeping on them instead."

"Yeah," He looks back at his phone. "they're actually really comfortable. Do you want to head to sleep now?"

"Sure."

He then gets off the bed, turns off his light, and sits on one of his bean bags. "Night Sal."

"Night"

It was around 10:00 pm when I finally hear Larry snore. This signifies that he's actually asleep. Now that I know he's not awake I take my mask off. I don't want him to know what my real face looks like, so I waited till he was snoring to take it off. I set the mask beside me. Since I don't have my glass of water with me I can't take my glass eye out. It probably won't cause any damage, the most it will do is make it dry. I try my best to fall asleep, but I can't. I couldn't sleep because Larry was right, he sounds like a whale when he's asleep.
