Stay With Me

Twenty six

I sat next to Garrett and Dave on the van, as we travel to go to Baltimore, it'll be a 2 and a half drive. After the conversation on the kitchen, Garrett's been really nice to me. Extra nice that is. And when Dave knocked on the door to pick us up he even carried my bags.

"Okay what do you want?" I asked, as the car started moving on the new york streets. I can feel Dave's stare as I talk to Garrett, he gave me a confusing look.

"What do I want what?" He replied.

"Why are you being extra nice?" I asked, elbowing him. Garrett chuckled, his skin give mine flame everytime we touch each other.

"So I can't be nice now?" He said raising his eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and chuckled.

"I know you want something, just spit it out." I said, fixing my eyes on the road.

Being normal with Garrett is just too tough, we've been through too much and normal isn't just a word for us I think. And maybe that's the reason I just can't stay mad at him too. He's a great person he loves me, and I love him.

"So how's your sleep?" Dave asked me, talking to me personally after he picked us up. I yawned and chuckled.

"Come to think of it, I didn't have any..." I said yawning, resting my body weight on Garrett's.

"Did you drink your meds tho'? You should have called me so I gave you a low dosage sleeping pill..." He said, voice concerned.

"Stop being such a doctor Dave, I'm okay. Just another sleepless night. A lot of shit to think about ykno..." I said, talking about sleep makes me sleepy.

"I'm just worried, whatever you're thinking about you should tell someone so you can you know...sleep properly." He said.

"David, so man is it okay that we're gonna stay at your parent's house?" Jared saved me from the conversation as I rested my head on Garrett's shoulder, my heartbeat racing faster than the road runner. Garrett's hands was wrapped around my body before I even close my eyes.

--GARRET'S POV--

So it pissed me off when Nike said we'll stay at David's house. Nike's the last person who will know if someone likes her, and why does he have to be so perfect, makes him a competition. Nike and I are getting along so well now and I am just so happy about it. Come to think of it, I am happy for everything right now. Except for the fact that David and his fancy ass keeps on glaring at me as I cuddle Nike's body closer to mine as we travel.

"I know babe, you should come visit Nike too, I'll be home soon I promise." I heard Jared said, he's probably talking to Lacy. the last time they saw each other was Nike's dad's funeral. Last time I saw Vader too, I miss her. She always reminds me of Nike, she's stubborn, food loving, sleep lacking kid.

"Say hi to Vader for me Jar" I said as I rest my head on Nike's.

"So Garrett, you and Nike been friends for a long time eh?" David fancy ass asked, yes I call him fancy ass from now on.

"Yeah, best buds." I replied, keeping my eyes on Nike's hands.

"She didn't mention..." He said, my heart sank.

"We were in no-speaking terms for the last 2 and a half months..." I replied defensively.

"Yeah, figures." He replied, okay so he's a good guy. I would probably hire him to be my child's doctor. He's just too perfect. It's almost degrading.

"David-"

"Dave, please call me Dave, only my mom calls me David..." He corrected.

"Okay, Dave, well, do you like Nike?" I asked, very bold. John, who's sitting behind me kicked my chair. David fancy ass on the other hand, gave me a stern look before looking at Nike. His eyes were like seeing a puppy, making him less manly. Okay this man is inlove with my girl, someone stop me.
