Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-22-

Larry's POV

   Its 6:45pm. I make sure im ready. I look in the mirror. I tuck my hair behind my ears. I wave at my mom goodbye. She tells me to be careful and be safe.
   I smile and tell her i will. I leave my apartment. I take a deep breath. Im nervous. My heart pounds against my chest. I get in the elevator and go up.
   Once i reach the 4th floor, the elevator doors open and i head to Sal's apartment. I stand in front of the door. I take a deep breath and knock.

   The door opens and i see Henry. He looks at me and smiles. "Come in, Larry.", he says. I walk in. I sit on the couch. Ashley peaks out. "Larry?", she calls out for me.
   I stand up. "Yes?", i say. She looks at me and smiles. "You ready to see him?", she asks. I nod. She goes back into the room. She comes out with Sal. Sal looks down.
    Hes in black Jeans, a white button up shirt, he has dress shoes on, his hair is down. One side of his hair is tucked behind his ear.

   He has a bowtie on. His prosthetic strapped on. I smiles at him. I walk up to him. I unbuckle his mask. He looks up at me. I bend down and kiss his lips. He smiles. "Ready?", i ask.
   He nods. I look at Henry. "Ill bring him home before 11pm, if thats okay with you.", i say. Henry smiles and nods. "Its okay with me.", he says. I grab Sal's hand.
   Me, Sal, and Ashley walk out of Sal's apartment. "Ill be waiting to hear how it went.", Ashley says. She smiles and walks away. Me and Sal go to the elevator.

   We head to the main floor. We walk to my mom's car. I open the door for him. He smiles and gets in. I shut the door for him. I go around and get behind the wheel.
   "Lisa let you drive her car?", Sal asks. "Yeah. I know how to drive. She just never let me use the car for anything before.", i say. He smiles. We start driving.
    I take him a special place. Its on top of a hill, looking over the town of Nockfell. We get out. We go to the front of the car.

   We sit on the hood of the car. He takes off his prosthetic. I look at him from the corner of my eyes. Hes smiling. "I hope you like this. I wanted to do something... Different.", i say.
   He looks at me and smiles. "Just being with you makes me happy. Its perfect, Lar.", he says. He rests his head on my shoulder and intertwines our fingers together.
   "How sweet...", a voice says. Me and Sal turn to where the voice is coming from. "Nina... What are you doing here?", i ask. "You think you can throw me away?", she asks.

    "What are you talking about?", i ask. She scoffs. "You really think id let you go that easy?", she asks. Sal clings to me for dear life. She looks down. She can tell. She scoffs and grins.
   "And you think a baby is gonna keep him?", she asks Sal. "Im staying with him regardless. Baby or not. Ive loved him since the day we met. Nothing will change that.", i say.
    She chuckles. "Its not really yours... Is it?", she taunts. "Yes, it is.", i say. "Whos to say its his attacker's?", she questions. "How would you know that?", Sal asks.

   "Havent you heard? Everyone talks about it. You were attacked in the mens bathroom. Everybody knows.", she says. I see something snap in Sal. The same look as before in the tree house.
    "You were apart of it!", Sal yells. I keep ahold of him. "How do you figure?", she asks. "Its obvious, bitch! You want Larry so you had Travis attack me so you could have him!", Sal hisses.
    I hold Sal close to me. He tries to break free from my grip but i keep a tight grip on him. "Sal, relax.", i say softly.

    "No! This bitch was involved in my attack and shes ruining date night!", Sal says. "We'll go somewhere else, okay?", i say. Sal gets in the car. I turn to Nina. "Stay away from me and my Fiance.", i say.
   I get into the car. We drive to a different spot. We park. I look over at Sal. His head resting against the window. "Babe...", i say. He looks towards me.
   I hold his hand. "I love you. Nothing and no one can take you from me or vise versa. Always and forever.", i assure him. He smiles at me and squeezes my hand.
