Love at First Dare // Stenbrough

Twenty-Eight

Stanley Uris has never gotten this hurt before. Never broken anything. Never sprung anything, nothing. Breaking his nose is a first, it hurts a lot. But of course, he won't show it.

*Stanley's POV*
Bill anxiously bounces his leg, leaving his head on my side. We "broke up." He hit me. Fuck him. I understand the situation was stressful but he broke my fucking nose.

Finally his phone rings. "Uh-huh...t-thank you s-so much. I'll b-be right over. Guys, Georgie i-is okay." "Thank god." Ben smiles. Mike nods. "I'll be back later..." Bill stands up quickly, grabbing his soaked shoes and his car keys.

"Can I....uh...can I come with? And can I borrow a shirt?" "Y-yeah... I don't care." I nod and make my way to his room. Grabbing some sweat pants and a t-shirt. He's a bit taller than me, I'm a bit skinner but I can fit into his clothes.

"Bye guys...tell me if you find Richie." Mike nods and I leave, following Bill to the car.

"You didn't go get in the car yet?" "No...didn't wanna leave you here." His stutter completely gone, well not completely. But it's not appearing in any of his sentences at the moment.

I nod and we get in the car. "I thought you said sh-shirt?" "My pants were soaked too, wouldn't match your shirt anyways." I chuckle softly and buckle up. "Hey I...I'm sorry." "It's fine. It doesn't hurt that much now."

Looking into my camera my cheeks start to swell a bit, leaving dark bruises too, but I'm still recognizable.

"I guess we lost the dare..." he keeps his left hand on the steering wheel, letting his right one rest on the armrest. "I guess so...Richie doesn't have to know though..."

"Are you a-asking me out again?" "What?! yes..." I mumble, rolling my eyes and looking out of the window. "Okay good." He smiles, grabbing onto my hand.
