candles and cotton | b.h

twenty.

caitlin left my apartment at around four-ish, leaving the area to myself as joe was at rosie's.

i yawned once more as i searched through another pile of clothes that i threw out from my wardrobe.

my halloween idea was a little stupid, kinda childish but i thought it would be funny, i'm going to be a crayon.

the colour, i haven't decided, but i had a range of hats i could choose from in an array of colours.

the end of 'lady marmalade' came about and 'you should see me in a crown' came on, playing loudly through my speaker.

my eyes glinted as i found a t-shirt dress that i have never worn before, but oh well.

it was mid-thigh and a bright yellow, i turned my head to my hat stand, and low and behold, a bright yellow beanie stared back.

my lips curled into a smile, well done y/n, i thought.

i decided to wear a pair of white converse but i would buy a pair of yellow socks to match.

oh my costume is going to be so fucking cool.

i stood up and observed the mess of my room, shrugged and walked over to my speaker, turning it off, silence filled the room, until-

the front door opened with a soft creak, i raised a brow, i swallowed, walked slowly over to the corner of my room, where there was a hurley.

"y/n?"

i dropped the hurley with a clatter, oh, it's just ben.

"in here!"

i heard footsteps and when the door was opened, ben's head peeked round, he smiled brightly.

"hi y/n, how are you?"

i smiled at him and picked up the yellow dress, "fine, now look what i'm wearing to david's halloween party that i'm inviting you to,"

ben raised a brow and took the liberty of lying comfortably on my bed, staring at me as i talked.

"what?..."

"i'm being the coolest yellow fucking crayon."

ben's lips stretched into a wide, amused smile, "you're being.. a.. a crayon?"

i frowned at him, spinning around, my dress pressed against my torso, "yes, i am, what are you being then?"

"i don't know, i didn't know i was invited to david's party."

"well you are now, so hurry up, you only have fourteen days."

ben stuck his tongue out at me and gave me a sweet smile, "can i be a crayon too? we can be buddies?"

"oH MY GOD YES? THAT'S A PERFECT IDEA???"

i squealed and picked up another bunch of clothes, then dumped them into my wardrobe.

"so.."i began, sitting down on my spinny desk chair, then spun to face him, i smirked, "cheryl, eh?"
