≫ ──── ≪•◦ Y/N'S POV ◦•≫ ──── ≪

Laurence and I finished half of Gravity Falls season two in a single night.

We had fun together. Staying up late in his room, eating ice cream sandwiches, playing video games all night, It's kind of our friendship thing. It's something we only do with each other. Doing this with someone else just feels wrong. Nothing can compare to hanging out with Laurence.

I snuggled up in my favourite blanket I kept in his house. His favourite blanket is in our house. Another friendship thing.

I know that deep down inside I want to get into a relationship. But I don't want to ruin what we have now. I'm fine without him. I can find a different boyfriend/girlfriend/partner. I don't need him, I just need his company.

We sit on his windowsill with our feet dangling down. We talk for what seems like forever. We can talk about anything because it's never boring when we're together.

It's 1:00 AM and we don't know how we'll be able to wake up early.

"Damn I didn't notice it got so late." Laurence says.

"Yeah. How will be able to wake up early." I say. "I'll just skip school tomorrow."

"Then I'll come with you." Laurence says.

Wow Laurence wants to skip? I never expected him to be willing of disobeying school rules. I never expected him to skip with me!

"Really?" I say as my eyes light up.

"Yeah I mean I can't wake up early without getting spacey all day." He says letting out a chuckle.

"Oh okay. That's nice. Thank you Laurence."

"Someone sounds excited."

"I am. I'll get a whole day hanging out with you!"

"You love me, don't you?"

"No." I blush as he smirks.

I get up and try getting back in his room. Instead, my platformed shoes fail me. I fall back almost out of the window till I feel Laurences hands tightly gripping my arm.

"Jesus, Y/N, stop wearing those shoes." He pulls me up and back into his room.

We get back into his room and laugh it out.

"HAHA! I swear Y/N, your shoes better be normal tomorrow." He laughs.

We get out of the house as he walks me home. On the walk home, he asks me. Something about walking with him makes me feel safe. Even if I'm going back home to my dad, somehow all that worry disappears when he's with me.

"You sure you'll be alright with the Shadow Knights? I can't let them hurt you, Y/N."

"Like I said I've been feeling better. They've been helping me out."

"Hey, venting may seem like it helps but in the end, nothing happens unless you take initiative."

"I know but I'm way too scared to fix this. I can live with it. Yeah...I can live with it."

The next thing I know there are tears in my eyes.

"You're crying."

"I-I'm not!" I deny. "Okay I am I just- I can't-."

"Hey, just call the cops."

"But who would take care of me? What if I get separated from my brothers? What if my new parents are worse?"
