0.7 | You Make Me Feel So Young

I fell into a deep sleep after that, I felt like I could finally be at peace once I was asleep.

Well, I was asleep until I heard loud metal clanking sounds coming from outside my window.

Someone knocked on my window.

I opened my curtains just enough to see outside.

Ben Jones was on my roof in the middle of the night.

I couldn't stay away from him any longer, I couldn't stand being mad at him so I let him in.

He crawled in through my window and sat on my bed.

I tried to avoid eye contact at all costs.

"Look, Joe I'm really sorry I overreacted earlier and it was unnecessary" he actually sounded like he meant what he was saying.

"If my family knew I was." He didn't finish his sentence.

"What, Ben?"

"If my family knew I was queer they'd kill me or turn me in or something" he sounded like he could start crying at any second.

I felt really bad for him.

"I liked you since I first laid eyes on you, Mazzello"

I blushed and looked down at my feet.

I finally looked over at him and he was crying a little bit.

He looked back over at me and smiled sadly.

Soon he started getting closer and closer to me until our lips touched.

It was sweet and innocent.

Like when you're in elementary school and you awkwardly kiss some kid on the playground.

I felt like I could easily forgive him since I could see where he was coming from.

If my parents ever found out about my feelings for Ben they'd definitely have me locked up. Without hesitation.

He pulled back and looked at me.

"Is it okay if I stay here?" He asked.

"Yes, of course" I smiled at him and helped him take off his jacket.

I got up and looked through the bottom drawer of my dresser and found some clothes he could sleep in.

I threw them at him and he thanked me.

I turned around so he could change and then we both layed down on my small bed.

It still felt like he was hiding something from me.

I looked up at him and smiled a little bit.

"Benny, why did you actually come over here?"

He bit the side of his lip and looked a little nervous.

"It's okay, I won't judge you"

"Well, my dad's just a little out of it is all. I'd rather not go into it right now"

I nodded and looked back down.

He was hugging me close to him and petting my hair.

It felt so nice.

I was so comfortable and everything seemed right again, already.

It was surprising how fast we made up, I thought it would take years honestly.

I just felt so calm and content, I never thought this would happen.

It still gave me a bit of a rush because I knew what we were doing right here, right now was illegal.

I didn't care if it was legal or not.

I can love whoever I want to right?

Right.
