-----------------------
Hey guys, sorry for the slow uploads.
I'm having trouble writing this book and need some support...like, alot of support.
But any will be gratefully appreciated.
-----------------------
I layed in bed awake, troubled for some reason.
How father grazed my shoulder... holding me close beneath his wing scared the living daylights out of me.
It could be so much easier to go with the flow, be the perfect son for him...but I could never do what he wishes of me.
Not tolerate but beat me brothers.
Take control.
YELL.
Glancing to my phone I recollected Laurence's offer earlier and stood up, russling quietly within my uniform pockets before finding the scrap piece of paper.
The sweat was still sweet from his loving grasp, my trembling fingertips holding the numbers up against my face as I stabbed them into my phone, saving it on my contacts as...and I'm ashamed to say ' 🐻 cuddle bear 🐻 '.
It made me feel loved...
Opening the chat box, I considered whether or not to do this...God knows how long we could be talking.
However, after pushing it aside I figured why not and clambered into bed, laying on my back.

(G)Garroth: hi...

He replied almost instantly

(L)Laurence: hi, you actually saved my number...took ya long enough

G: sorry..had to deal with a few things

L: A few?! It's blimmin night!

I snarled slightly

G: fine, I'll text you tomorrow

Just as I was about to turn off my phone his final text came through...or should I say his last several texts.

L: no! Wait! Sorry! Uh!

I paused and watched

L: please...and you're gone...great

I smiles as he rambled and guilt shamed himself, giggling sweetly.

G: Ew, Ew, just stop, I'm here, jee

I could feel another giggle boil at the back of my throat at his response.

L: ...I knew that

G: sure

L: >:I sh

G: mkay, what do you want me to do then?

L: uhm uh, idfk you texted me

G: yeah, for a conversation

L: a b o u t ?

G: idk stuff!...y'know what nevermind, it's late anyway

L: it's only 11pm Gar Gar

I jolted at his statement, growing abnormally heated.

G: GarGar?

L: HMH! what's wrong?

G: why are you acting like this?!

L: like what?

G: like you 'love' me, ain't you meant to be kissing up to Aph?

L: With Aaron there? Jeez mate, that's her boyfriend y'know

I almost gagged.

G: h u h, you're trying to get with her when she has a boyfriend?!

L: ...yeah? What's wrong with that? You're doing it

G: am not! Plus I didn't know they were dating!

It didn't take much persuasion to divide his thoughts.

L: alright, alright, jeez...

G: hmph! >:I

L: what do you suggest then?

G: Find someone new

L: Like who? You?

G: No! Shut up! Urgh! Shut up!

He paused.

L: So you wouldn't date me?

I sighed...

G: ...I never said that

L: so you would?

G: stop twisting my words!

L: heh, wasn't a 'no' so must be a yes :}

G: GR! G'night!

I closed my phone up before I could even dare watch his replies, placing it on the side before turning away, nuzzling into my blanket.
...
Eventually I fell asleep, wishing i had just ignored his offer in the first place seen as his voice wouldn't leave my distressed mind...he hadn't helped a bit...
Well, he did give me false hope...that he'd d-date me...heh, like he'd like me.
Again, my self image came into light...damn I'm ugly.
