fall for you (Sally Face x Reader) BOOK ONE, COMPLETE (book two continues here)

Chapter thirteen: touch starved

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

I laid on Larry's bed, fiddling with a pencil in my hand. I twirled it around and my thoughts flooded my mind.

What could they be talking about? It's been a little while... he should be back soon. Is he dead or something? No he's not dead.

I can't even imagine what could be going on.

As if on cue, the bedroom door opened quietly and shut once more.

"So?" I said with an eyebrow raised.

"What?" Larry tilted his head.

I gasped suddenly "You're not gonna tell me!?"

"No (Y/N), it's not really my place to say anything. Don't worry okay? It's not a huge deal. You'll probably find out soon so it's all good"

He walked and sat on the bed lazily. His face seemed worried but tired, so I sat up, and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.

"Whatever it is, it's gonna be alright. You seem uneasy so I just want you to know that I'm here for you." I stated, squeezing him tight.

"Thanks (Y/N)"

The next morning I was woken up by a gentle knock on his bedroom door.

My eyes opened and I saw Lisa peeking through the opening.

"Good morning! Larry and I are going out to get some lunch together! We were going to ask you but I didn't want to wake you and make you get dressed. Sleep in, and we will be back soon!" She beamed.

I looked beside me and saw the empty spot and I spread my body out, getting as comfortable as possible.

The door creaked a bit once more "hey (Y/N)?" It was Larry.

I mumbled against the pillow to acknowledge him.

"If Sal comes around, let him know I'll be back soon. And just make sure he's all good while I'm gone. The doors unlocked so he might just come in. See ya dude" He shut the door quietly and I heard them leave soon after.

Make sure he's all good? What's that supposed to mean?

I didn't want to think too much into it, especially when I was barely awake as it is.

Instead, I let my mind drift off.

"(Y/N)?"

...

"Hey (Y/N)..."

I felt a gentle push on my arm making my eyes flutter open. My vision was blurry but I saw the blue hair i knew and loved and smiled. "Hey Sal"

He was sitting on the bed, as Larry was last night. I lifted my hands to my eyes and gently rubbed them so I could wake myself up more.

I sat up and he chuckled at me. "Your hairs all over the place"

Sal reached out his arm and gently stroked my hair, flattening it out for me so I wouldn't have to. As he finished messing with it, he left his hand on the side of my face, making my instinctively lean into his touch.

"What's up Sally Face?" I mumbled under my breath. His hand moved and fell into his lap carefully.

I could tell he was trying to articulate his words, so it took him a moment before he spoke.

"Ash broke up with me"

I was taken back for a moment "O-oh I'm so sorry Sal. Are you okay?"

He was quiet but then he nodded. "Yeah, actually. I think I'm okay"
