I looked down at the soft, fragile girl that I once danced with, seeing soft tears perk up in her eyes.

She laughed, stepping away wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Oh god i'm so sorry, i don't wanna cry in front of you. Just thought I should tell you."

She said to me looking away, making the pang in my heart push aside the giddy feeling of knowing that Jared will be over the seas and long gone before no time.

"Oh {Name}... I can tell he's not just nothing. For god's sake he's your boyfriend! You can cry, I don't mind" I reassure her, grabbing both of her sides and looking deep into her eyes.

She kept laughing and wiping away her tears, the laughs slowly turning into soft sobbs and she pulled me into a hug, putting the side of her face against my chest.

I lightly swayed side to side and said sweet nothings with my head on her head, lulling her into a sense of peace after the cry.

Although i wish this wasn't about Jared, and that i wasn't comforting her about her boyfriend and instead of.. I don't know anything else, it was alright. He's going bye bye! See ya!

HAHahAHaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-

ehem.

She sniffled lightly, rubbing her eyes and looking up at me, making myself smile and gladly look down at her.

"My life was finally going the way I wanted it to go, it was perfect, and now it's going to be. He can't do long distance, and I wouldn't want to either. The timezones, the trust I'd need to have for him, the stress, i-"

She let out another shaky sob, going back to hug me. "I'm just sad its ending so quickly." She finished off, us still slowly swaying to her favorite song.

It was never a slow dancing song, but did that stop us? Not really.

We'd find a way to slowly dance together, singing, just enjoying each other.

Usually it was me that wanted to dance, and usually it was on my bad days.

Where I would just break down in her embrace, with her lovingly rubbing my back and telling me how amazing I was. Saying how much I meant to her, whipping my tears with her finger and giving me a big smile telling me it would be alright.

In all truth, I've been the one relying on the other. This is like the second time I've ever seen her cry. And the one other time is when she got in a really bad fight with her brother, she said just couldn't handle it anymore and needed comfort so she went to the only person she would have trusted with her feelings, me >:).

But having her in my arms, loving her, feeling her, breathing in her scent, it makes me feel at home.

Even if she was only a moment ago sobbing about her boyfriend going away, I still can't not enjoy this moment.

This moment of care, of just us. No one else, no interruptions, just us.

In my eyes, it was the world against us, and if the world ended the one place I'd want to be is in her arms.
