❝ eating us alive ❞

—

THREE in the morning. The apartment was silent and dark and still. Riley quietly shifts out of her bed. Joshua silently sleeping beside her. Her feet lightly step across the living room to the kitchen. She fills herself a glass of water.

She sits up on the counter with her fingers brushing through her hair. She was happy. She is happy. And she has zero idea who she feels this way. It's not sad. She just needed a break from whatever it was.

"What the fuck are you doing up?" Corey's voice startles the girl. Leaving the glass in her hand half full after spilling the majority.

"Jesus," She jumps down to get a towel. "I could ask you the same thing."

While Riley is dabbing the towel onto her t-shirt. "I had a nightmare, okay check this out. We were all back in high school, and then we were at an assembly in the theatre. And this dragon, just came and started eating us. But then Mr. Lyon was all like 'fuck you guys, I don't care if you die,' and kept talking about budget cuts as the dragon is fucking eating us alive."

"Okay there buddy," Her hand slaps his shoulders. "A little too intense for 3 am," She sarcastically says.

Corey grabs a mug to make coffee."Anyways, I was watching Harry Potter before I slept so that might've played apart in my dream.." He goes on and on about his crake head of a dream. "But then you were like crying like a big fat baby while I was like your night in shining armor...."

Zoning out on whatever things the boy is rambling about. Her phone lightens in front of her scrolling through instagram.

SHE felt comfortable again, like actually comfortable. "What you laughing at?" Corey breaks her dream-like state.

"Your dream is stupid." She cuts.

"I mean I'm no big time writer, but that as a movie,"

"Are you on something Core?" She jumps down taking the glass with her.

"I am on to a new Golden Globe winner."

"Get some sleep ass head," She says walking back into her still room. Slowly she places the glass lightly onto her night stand. For a while after she squeezes back into bed, she just looks.

The way the boy calmly breaths in his sleep. She turns back with her face facing her night stand. Bombarding the silence, he shifts in bed. Her arms wrap around the girls waist pulling her closer. His face right next to hers and the closeness from comforting.

WALKING along through Central Park the pairing chatters. Two hopeful smiles across their face as their eyes switch from each other over to in front of them. "Where are you even taking me?"

He chuckles as they approach William Rink. "Here," His hans slightly presents.

"Fuck no."

"What," He says trying to keep a smile.

"I'm kidding, but I am literal shit at ice skating." She laughs surrendering and stepping into where you get the skates.

—

THEIR HANDS grasp together as Riley puts in most of the effort into squeezing his. The two's skates step onto the ice. "Fuck," She screams sort of loudly but thankfully no parents heard. One hand on the railing and the other onto his. A worried face onto hers as Joshua's smile was slightly laughing at the girl. "What are you like at Joshy," She couldn't help but smile.

"Here just try and glide." He squeezes back.

"How are so fucking perfect at this." Her panic showed in her voice.

Letting go of the rail her hand quickly grasps onto his other hand. "Okay calm down, you're fine." He smiles.

"I hate you Joshy," Her body is basically slammed into his.

"JOSHUA BASSETT!" A teen girl walks up to the wanna be couple. "And Riley!" she says awkwardly as the blonde looks back at her. A smile still on the two faces. "Sorry to intrude on your date, can I have a picture?" She hands her phone to Riley.

"It's not a date, but sure."

In a few clicked the girl skates away, "Sorry about that, that happens often now,"

"Don't be sorry I understand, a heart throbs day in the life." She jokes while still grasping onto the boy from her life.

"Speaking of.. there was something I wanted to ask you," He smoothly skates in front of her. Riley doesn't reply, her face was just uncaring him to continue. "Now that I'm done with filming at least this season. I want to be your boyfriend."

Something in her wobbled. Her balance was off set, "Shit,"She panics. Next thing she remembered she fell on her back straight into the ice.
