i ran into the hotel room and immediately called him "heellllooooo" i laughed "well hello there" i said giggling "well i see you back to the hotel" he said "yeaaahh" i said sounding ditsy he laughed hey the suns setting you ever seen the sun set here before "no i never paid it much mind" i said "well i want you to go outside and just look at it" he said i walked of my hotel room with the key and stepped outside there he was and there it was possibly the most beautiful sunset i've EVER seen "hey" he said "hey" i said quietly looking at the sky "want i better veiw" he said he grabbed my hand and ran up the stairs i stumbled as he made his way up to the roof. the veiw was even better i just staredhe stood next to me "tell me about yourself charlie." i looked at him unsure if he wanted to know about me. he nodded "well, my dads a recovering alcoholic my mom depressed my grandmas crazy and my cousins are wack jobs i have crippling anxiety when it comes to certain things and my older brother ran away from home 3 years ago" i started to choke out a little sob thinking about it he looked at me "Hey, charlie?" i turned to face him "That's what makes you different you persevere through everything life throws at you" i smiled "Tell me about you" i saw his smile fade to nothing "me? well...my dads in jail for doing terrible things to my sister and my house burnt down so we are here" i knew what he met about his sister i felt for him "before my dad did that we used to go fishing together every friday when i was little some memories, man, one of my friends were shot dead, real close friend of mine" tears in his eyes he couldn't finish i hugged him for a long time i felt his frusteration i felt all of it when one of your siblings is hurt you feel so angry and helpless i cried silently not letting him know i was crying i was good at that we pulled away from the hug "looks like we both got messed up lives huh" i nodded "we should go in it's getting chilly" i smiled and i thanked him and went to my room. "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU" my dad screamed i knew he relapsed "i just went to get some air" i said quiet "HELL NO" he slapped me so hard i thought i might've passed out i heard my sister scream i grabbed my phone and ran out of there i called jay "MY DAD JUST HIT ME AND NOW HES CHASING ME" i said panicking "ok my room number is 213 get in the elevator i'll be there i ran to the elevator waiting for it to open i could here my dad stomping his feet the elevator opened and jay was there i ran in and hugged him the elevator shut before my dad could get in i was hyperventalating and passed out...
i woke up in an unfamiliar place, than it all game flooding back to me my head hurt like a bitch so i bowed my head into my hands and let out a little whine i heard a door open and a women came out "hey honey, doing better." i just looked at her see in knew york when someone is nice to you it's so rare you gotta look at them weird. "uh yeah.." i said a little unsure of myself i hinestky didn't know if i was ok the fear of my dad relapsing was crippling and now that it happened idk what to think "well, you can stay here as long as you need ok?" she said i felt comforted but i knew that my stay wouldn't be long "thank you" i said "guess who's awake" jay came out of one of the rooms i smiled "Are you doing ok" i thought of my sister and felt a terrible feeling in my stomach i left her...with dad, how horrible could i be. I started to tear up thinking about it "Hey he's not gonna hurt you as long as i'm around, ok?" i nodded and hugged him. I looked at my phone it was flooded with texts from kylie the last text was "Don't worry about me i'm ok, i know where you are and i've got links" a wave of relief came over me knowing she was ok. he piped up "you can spend the night here i have an extra bed in there my sister doesn't use she sleeps in my moms room" i nodded slowly but than relized i had no pajamas which meant i had to go up to my room "i have to go
to my room will you come with me please" he nodded and when we got there i listened nothing i opened the door there was scilence i quickly got my clothes and made it to the door and got out of there something was wrong if they weren't there, they're looking for me "hey you alright" jay said snapping me out of my thoughts "oh yeah, yeah" i said lying we walked back to his room i set me cloths down and layed down on the bed on my back and just stared at the ceiling i just thought about everything and than came to the relization that jay was the only one to see me cry. Why was he the one to see me cry. Was it because i trusted him with a lot of things i felt something poke me in my pocket i took out the pin i looked at it i laughed at how today went. It was eventful none the less i considered jay a good friend now he was a really good friend i was so sad that i was only here for a week because man he made me feel happy i mean i might have a crush on him he was a cutie i mean i love his eyes and just he makes me feel butterflies when ever i look at him...ok i have a crush on him but i'm scared to admit because it i admit it, it makes it true "Hey" jay said "Oh hi" i said quickly "Do you just get deep in thought about someone but you haven't known them for that long" i nodded and looked at him we just looked at eachother not speaking but we were having our own conversation by just looking at eachother i can explain it he sat next to me and finally spoke "When i was younger i used to lay outside at night and look at the stars for hours" i smiled when he said that and i responded "Yeah i used to do that with tommy my brother before he ran away" i smiled thinking about it tommy looked nothing like us he had eyes i've never seen anyone have bright green with blue and brown with dirty blonde hair and dark skin his eyes were just beautiful "Your brother sounds like he was a great brother" he said i looked at him "he was, he was caring kind and would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it, everyone said he was a doll" i smiled tracing the conferder with my finger "Yeah i can imagine, i mean he was related to you so." i looked at him and smiled than looked down again "what was that supposed to mean" i grinned "Well your a doll you give off a good vibe, i like that" he was so subtle about complements but i liked it, i smiled and turned a little shade of pink than i thought uh oh that's visible he smiled and i smiled back than we just started laughing and laughing i honestly didn't know what we were laughing at but i didn't care
