You haven't seen your best friend in a week. He hasn't been coming to your house at night and he hasn't been at the Curtis house. You thought maybe he just needed space, because sometimes he did like to be alone for a couple days but never a whole week...

It was about 10 PM, your parents just went to sleep, quietly you sneak out of my room and out the door. Johnny didn't live to far away from you so it was only a 3 minute walk. The streets were quiet and dark, only a few street lights were actually on and working.

When you reach his small dirty house, all the lights were out, even his bedroom light. Quietly you make your way around the house and hop over the fence. His bedroom window was wide open, because he liked the fresh air. It helped him sleep. You hoist yourself up and as quiet as you can slip into the window, into his small dark room.

Johnny's room was actually tidy, it was a little dusty and had some crumbs and small pieces of dirt on the floor but it was clean. His small dresser sat by his bedroom door, and below it were scratch marks from the dresser to the door from when he used to try and block the door.

In the corner of his room was Johnny's bed and that's where he was, his body turned towards the wall, his greasy hair shined slightly.

"At least he's ok..." you thought to yourself and slowly crawl into his bed.

As soon as the mattress sunk a little from you getting in the bed Johnny jumps up like he's been shot. His dark eyes were wide.

"Shh Johnny it's just me" you whisper sitting up

"(Y/n) w-what what are you doing here?" Johnny says, his breathing a little ragged from the scare
"I came to check on you" you whisper "I haven't seen you in a week"
Johnny untensed "I know... I'm sorry (Y/N) I just thought I was too much of a burden for ya" he says quietly looking down
You frown big hearing that, your heart pounding in your chest
"Why do you think that?" You whisper
"I-I I dont know. It's just I'm always following you around like a lost puppy or something, I feel pathetic"
He says picking at his lip a little
"Johnny there ain't nothing pathetic about that. We're best friends, and we stick around for each other. You know I love you Johnny cakes. You dont bother me at all, I love it when we follow each other around" you say and softly grab his hand

Johnny looked down a blush forming on his tan face "I-I know, I can't help it. I love you too (y/n)
You smile softly at him "hey we're gonna be alright, we got each other and that's a whole lot of love"

Johnny smiles now at that and you both leave going to the lot for the rest of the night, talking and laughing.

(I actually really like this chapter because Johnny is a cinnamon roll and deserves all the love in the world! Also I put hidden song lyrics in one of the dialogues. Whoever figures it out gets a shoutout next chapter
Love ya guy!
Stay Gold!
