A World Of New Beginnings

Comfort

"I... I've always loved you." Was all he said before he fell asleep in my arms for the first, but also last time. When I woke up later that day, they were gone.

I curled up under my blanket and started to cry. A little while later, the door opened again and in stepped Jungkook. He saw me crying and came next to me, cuddling with me.

"I'm sorry Alex. We're all here for you." Well, that was reassuring, I guess. But they were gone. Really gone. "Did Joon tell you?" I asked, reaching for his hand. He nodded and took my hand in his. "Yes. We knew something was going on, but we didn't want to bother you."

"It's ok. I'm just glad you're here now." I cuddled up to him and let a few tears fall into his shirt. He wiped my tears. "Don't cry please. I know they meant a lot to you, but we're all here now. I would say me mostly, but I feel like Joon is just a little more."

I smiled. I'm glad they care. "Thanks a ton." I sniffled and breathed heavily. "Jungkook?" I asked, hoping he would help me with my question. "Yes?" What was I going to ask?! "Did you want to hang out sometime?"

Please don't take that as a I want to go out with you kind of hang out. Please please please! "Sure. Like what? Like a I want to be your best friend one day kind of  hang out?" Yes, that is exactly what I want. "Perfect." He smiled and I breathed a sigh of relief.

A while later, Jungkook left after talking and making me laugh, and Joon came in. "Knock knock. Are you doing ok in here?" He took one look at me, and his face changed. I looked like shit; my face was puffy, eyes were red, tear stains on my shirt, covered up in the same spot.

"Will you lay with me?" I asked in such an innocent voice. Joon laughed and came over to the bed, laying next to me under the covers. I laid my head on his chest and wrapped an arm around him, feeling his arm around me.

"Do you think it was for the best?" I wondered. I really did wonder. Maybe it was for the best that they were gone. Maybe I could be a normal human being, and have friends and maybe one day a boyfriend or a husband and children.

"It was going to happen one way or another Alex. Our feelings are just too strong." We laughed. Our feelings are just too strong. You're right, they are.
