We make our way home, the ride home was quite talkative which was unexpected... I thought it might have been silent but there you go. I try to involve myself in the conversation as much as possible but at some points of the conversation it just wasn't possible like one of the three would say something like "oh and remember when " etc or "that time when we" etc I just go with the conversation. Towards the end of the conversation we all talk about the film.
"Yeah, the end but really got me" says Bridey keeping her eyes on the road and placing a hand on her heart for a brief moment then back to the steering wheel, "what was with the ghost part though? That was weird" says Gemma "don't worry about it gem, you're probably too young to understand" says taylor "hey!" Gemma says slapping Taylor's arm "what?" Taylor laughs
And then the conversation pretty much goes like that the rest of the way home just goofing around in the car. Me? I was just too tired to keep going I say in the back with my head against the window taylor by my side an I had no seatbelt on because I couldn't find it .... Okay I could find it I just couldn't get to it- it was broken...
I slowly start to close my eyes and drift off with the soothing sound of my friends laughter and the sound of gentle raindrops hitting the window of the car and then within moments I was out like a light. I remember the gentle warmth of two arms wrapping around me after a while and the feeling of being carried but it was most likely just a dream ... Real or not it felt perfect and safe and warm and ... Like a dream
Next thing I know I'm having a nightmare and I wake up
~_~_~_NIGHTMARE~_~_~_~_~_~
"Get out of my house sam! Leave! We're through!" I hide under the covers of my bed "How dare you talk to me like that!" And suddenly I hear the sound of being hit and sobbing and things being thrown or smashed
It makes me cry
"I'm leaving you Sam! And I'm taking my children aswell!" "Well we'll see about that"
*flashes to court room*
Everyone is sitting in silence mum on one side dad on the other a metaphor for how they were -separated
"The mothers will get custody of one child and the father will get the other both parents with visiting rights at all and anytime by their child! The parents must now come in contact with each other at any stage and must proceed with the divorcing procedure next Monday! Court adjourned!" The judge says slamming a wooden hammer
_~_~_~_END_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~
I sit up crying and flushed and sweaty ... For a moment I don't realise or remember where I am until I look next to me and realise taylor... That Taylor was sitting up next to me with his hand suddenly on my back with comfort and concern on his face, I just look at him and burst out crying even more unintentionally. He brings me into a tight hug not saying anything, he rubs my back gently with one hand and holds the hug firm with the other almost as if he was scared I was going to disappear.
After a while he pulls out of the hug and looks at me then wipes my tears- I felt so stupid... "Come on" he stands up still half hugging me and leads me to the kitchen to get a hot chocolate everything is silent while making the drinks. I look at the clock on the wall 11:30 at... Everyone except us is asleep.
When the drinks are made taylor leads me to the veranda and we sit on the swingy chair with cushions with the moonlight and stars shining down at us . Things are still silent for a moment until taylor says "so... What's up?" I wasn't sure how to answer "bad dream" I say quietly "what was it about?" He asks taking a sip of his drink "well really it was just a bad memory" I try to avoid answering but taylor is persistent "okay... But what was it?" "Well... My parents" his face suddenly softens a little more "really? What happened?" "Taylor... I need to tell you something but you can't tell anyone it's very-" he cuts me off by putting his arm around my shoulders and looks me dead in the eyes (dam I hated and loved when he did that he connects with people by looking them straight in the eyes) "I would never tell anyone or do anything to harm you" "...taylor.... My dad use to abuse my mum ... He told us never to tell anyone he said it was okay to hit people that you love because you love them ... My mum and dad split up divorced and so much inbetween... All those times you'd seen mum holding an ice pack on her head because she had a "headache" she didn't have a headache she got hit... You can't tell anyone! Please!" "I already told you ... I'd never hurt you ! Okay ? Tell me you trust me?" "I trust you taylor" "good" he says gently then hugs me. I look into Taylor's eyes and the moonlight made his blue eyes shimmer and light up even more than in the day time.
After a while we finish our drinks as we just sit there in silence cuddled up swinging gently on the swinging chair and taylor randomly kisses my cheek and rests his head against mine... Something about him seemed so understanding and relatable he was always there for me... He gave me butterflies and made my cheeks glow bright red, my chest pumped when I saw him or heard his name... Was it okay to fall in love with your best friend? Where was the instructions and rules book for this? I don't think I even know what love is ... I needed to know but I couldn't tell anyone I couldn't trust anyone here to talk to them about it and I sure as hell can't ask taylor sure I'd just be like "oh hey taylor I was wondering what love is cause I think I love you" psssh no way man! I know I tend to state the obvious a lot but that's just too obvious! I can't let him know! It may ruin everything! Then I'd have no one ... Why did he have to be such a nice person?! Why couldn't he be rude, self-centred and unattractive?!
I know it was rude to stare but I couldn't stop staring into his eyes I know I must seem very creepy right about now "I'm sorry" I smile sheepishly "what for?" He says gently with a faint smile "I keep looking into your eyes" he laughs a little "you're so weird" he jokes there was a comfortable silence for a moment until taylor says "yknow sometimes in life people are brought together in life for a reason... I believe I was meant to have you in my life for a reason" I smile goofily "now who's weird" I joke he gently pushes me "I'm serious" he laughs "thanks Taylor that means a lot in really thankful to have you in my life aswell" I say that feeling mushy and probably not sounding like I mean it but he'll never know just to what extent how thankful I really am" if I'm the night sky then he's all of the stars and moon combined that makes no sense but it does to me.
"Come on you" he smiles widely "we better get you back to bed out of this cold fresh air" "okay" I smile
We place our cups in the sink on our way back in.
When we get back to the bedroom I realise it was Taylor's room because his room was the only room with a double bed the space I was sleeping on was the only other bed available
"I hope you don't mind sharing?" He says almost asking "no... I don't mind" I say
As we both get into his bed and lay our heads down we turn our different ways and I'm not sure about taylor but I wasn't shutting my eyes "hey taylor?" I whisper after a while "yes?" He whispers back "can I cuddle you?" There was a tiny silence then a snicker "I mean I usually have a bear I cuddle but I don't have it with me" "sure" he says so I put my arms around him and drift off too sleep again with the same warmth I fell asleep to before.A/N hey guys sorry if this is lame I tried making it interesting but I don't really know
Let me know what you think ? I worked on this for a while and rewrote it a whole bunch of times so I hope it's okay :) thanks for reading xx
