QOTD: Does anyone know where I can watch Skam/ Should I watch Skam?
"You okay?" Derek asked, plopping down next to you on the bed. He wrapped one arm around you, ready to nestle in and fall asleep. He sighed when you didn't answer. "Are you okay?"
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," he said, irritated. "I'm just a little off today because I'm worried about my girlfriend, and she won't tell me what's wrong."
"She doesn't need to tell you what you already know."
"It's been a week," he said. "I mean, I know it takes time and all but after a week I figured you'd at least get out of bed every once in a while."
"I left the loft just yesterday."
"You left the loft one time. In seven days. I'm worried."
"You should be," you said quietly.
"Look, do you... do you want me to do something? Do you want me to kill someone?" He sat up. "I'll kill someone. You tell me who to kill and I'll do it."
"Derek... Derek, Allison died."
He sunk back down into the bed. "I know."
"I'm so angry."
"Well," he said. "Sad yesterday, angry today. You're starting to feel better."
"I'll never feel better."
"Yes, you will. Because I'm here and I'm going to take care of you. And everyday I'm here, you should be happy because I'm a real pleasure."
You laughed just a tiny bit, and he reached down to kiss your cheek.
"You lost a friend. I get it," he said. "It's an awful thing to go through, but you're not alone. And it's not going to feel this bad for the rest of your life. It's not even going to feel this bad for the rest of the month. It'll be shitty, sure, but it'll be better. And eventually, day by day, you'll feel just as good as you did a month ago. You're gonna have long periods of sadness in your life, and you're gonna have long periods of happiness. So just wait a while, and you'll feel better."
"You talk too much," you said, facing him.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you too," you echoed.
You thought he was leaning in to kiss you, but he wrapped both arms around you and pulled you in closer. You lay your head on his chest, and fell asleep listening to the beat of his heart.
