I sat on the floor of the corridor where Autumn's room is while Autumn, excessively exercised, not that i could do anything about it, but Jonas was currently trying to get her to calm down. She was sitting with me at supper and i'd finally convinced her to have the littlest bit of mashed potato and gravy, but as soon as she'd eaten it she panicked.

I fought the urge to have my own panic attack and make the whole situation worse by making sure i kept my breathing steady. Jonas walked up and down the corridor with Autumn sometimes standing in front of her but she'd only walk around him and argue with him when he told her to stop. After at least 10 minutes of trying to stop her he left to get the nurse from 4 floors down, leaving me and Autumn in the corridor alone again.

I decided to get up and actually try and help her, she helped me, so i should at least do the same for her..I got onto my feet and walked up the corridor with her. She looked at me for a minute, tears falling down her cheeks again but carried on walking, her pace fast, it took me a minute to match her pace, but eventually i did. "You know, i do love a good walk, but this is too fast, maybe for the both of us." I said as we neared her bedroom door, softly grabbing her wrist and coming to a stop. She attempted to pull her wrist from my hand, but she couldn't.

"You can't argue with me, you're not exercising" She looked at me for a moment and a slight whimper escaped her mouth as she tried pulling her wrist from my hand again. "I need to! You don't understand!" her words came out muffled because of her cries. "I know i don't understand, but you've got to trust me Autumn, you don't need to do that anymore" The faint sounds of her cries filled the hallway, Jonas looked at us from the end of the corridor giving me a thumbs up obviously thinking i'd calmed her down before walking away.

I softly pulled at her wrist so that she would follow me into her room, she looked exhausted, she'd been crying for most of the day. Her hair was just up messily on the top of her head and her make-up was smeared down her face, but she still looked amazing.. She followed me into her room looking down at the floor as she did so. I softly pushed her door shut and turned around watching her put my Blink 182 jumper over her head that she stole off me as well as one of my wrist bands and moving to sit on her bed. I sat on the bed next to her and softly put my fingers under her chin making her look up at me.

She stopped crying by now but her cheeks were still wet with tears and with the sleeve of my hoodie i softly wiped her cheeks dry. Usually she was so calm and chilled out, she hardly cried and i'd never seen her this worked up, it made me wonder how something so simple as a bit of mashed potato could make someone crumble so easily.

After endless minutes of silence sitting on her bed, we'd ended up laying with her fleece blanket over us, her head in the crook of my neck, our legs tangled and my arm draped over her waist. I heard faint sniffles coming from her every few seconds and i remembered our conversation from the other day.

She'd told me once that no guy would want to take her home to meet their parents and on another occasion she told me that she didn't like anyone touching her and that she hated the way she looked but at the same time she kind of liked it in the not weirdest way possible. She also told me that she'd never slept in the same bed as a guy, nor had she had a boyfriend or kissed any guy except for her dad when she was a kid. She also told me that she felt strangely comfortable around me and that it felt like she'd known me for years even though its only been a couple weeks.

I'd woken up, what i thought was going to be an hour or so later but was actually 6 hours later 1 am. I pulled the fleece up over both of us a little more and realised me and Autumn were a lot closer than we were before we went to sleep. I know i've only known Autumn a few weeks and we're both in the wrong frame of mind to even think about feelings, but i think i like her. And i think i like her a lot more than i should.
