Falling for you

47

"Where'd you get those?" He was confused.

"I... I was picking blackberries with my dad and I... reached too far and fell in the bush!" I laughed, brushing my fringe off my face.

He bought it.

He didn't question me as I pulled my sleeve back over my hands.

I didn't want to tell him.

I was scared of his reaction.

He would think I'm insane.

I guess I was.

Besides, I hadn't told anyone what I was going through.

And I didn't plan on telling anyone.

They couldn't help me.

I was too far gone to be saved.

I made sure to stay a little more on guard for the rest of the night.

I made sure my sleeves were pulled over my hands, my hoodie was covering my stomach, my jeans were covering my ankles.

If Jack saw the others I'd have a hard time thinking of an excuse.

When the movie finished, he switched off the TV and I snuggled into his chest.

He was so warm and comfy.

He smelled nice.

I loved the way he held me.

The way he kissed me, our lips touching one another's.

I never wanted this feeling to end.

Slowly, my eyes closed, and I drifted off to sleep, cuddling with Jack in his bed.
