I wake up, a bit disoriented at first, then i remember last night - everything. The fighting, the abuse, me leaving, the guys from the bus, everything. I start shaking and break out in a sweat and almost immediately hear Toby's voice and his weight quickly changing the position of the mattress as he climbs up and shakes my arm. I snap out of my attack and I just feel Toby's arm just wrap around me. "Shh, Aid, its okay. I'm here." he whispers. I open my eyes to see his beautiful brown eyes staring back at m, filled with worry, concern and what i think is love and my heart skips a beat. Could he really like me back? 

I've liked Toby for years but I've never had the guts to say anything about it because he's my best friend.
