Bright Eyes
Accidental Snuggle Buddy
I held on to Skye for what seemed like hours. Her breathing became even, and her body became still. I knew she had fallen asleep. I didn’t know exactly what to do, so I just laid back on the couch and relaxed, I was afraid to wake her because she finally looked like she was happy, even if she was just sleeping. She scooted down in my arms and rested her head on my lap, it was then I was able to fully study her face. She had a beautiful complexion, it wasn’t flawed and her skin had crispness to it that I had never seen. Her nose crinkled up like there was something funny happening in her dream. To say that I found her attractive would be an understatement. My mind began to wonder and without even realizing it I soon was fast asleep with Skye.
Skye’s POV
I woke to the wonderful conversation that Gerard was having in his sleep. I hadn’t meant to fall asleep nor did I think that I was that tired. But the combination of me trying to thaw out and my stress level being crazy high, I just kind of passed out. I felt extremely embarrassed, Gerard had invited me to his home to help me sort out my issues and all I did was fall asleep on him, God only knows how long I was actually asleep for. Poor guy must have been so bored out of his mind that he went to sleep. Looking at Gerard I was able to fully see him without him catching me.
He was handsome and different from anybody else I had met. He had darkness to him that I could feel, but you could tell there was a depth of compassion that outweighed whatever heavy burden he was carrying. My friends had always called him a dork or a loser, and they constantly tormented him and his group. I never took part in it, but I didn’t stop it either. It was something that I had gotten used to, if Anna Claire hated someone, then we all hated them. I had gotten drunk because she wanted me, I had snuck out because she wanted me to, and I had partied because she wanted me to. But this last thing I couldn’t do. I couldn’t have sex with some guy I barely knew. I couldn’t even kiss a guy I barely knew. When Anna Claire announced her little plan to me my whole body began to hurt, and I felt like throwing up. So when I told her no that’s when she lost it. Now my life that I knew and for the most part loved will completely change. I lost everything and everyone that I had worked so hard for. I looked at Gerard his face was at ease, and he seemed completely content. What made him help me? He had no reason to even look my way. I’m surprised that he didn’t just point and laugh at me; I deserved it especially from him. I was still lying in Gerard’s lap when the front door swung open.
“Hey dick, where did you run off to?” A random but familiar looking guy with black hair and lip ring walked in Gerard’s house, and then he spotted me and his eyes got really big. “What’s going on here? Gerard wake up did you kidnap Skye Clark? Listen dude I’m not helping you cover up anything.”
I was in complete shock, but I hadn't realized that I wasn't out of Gerard’s lap; I looked away from the random guy walking into Gerard’s house and looked at Gerard. His face went completely red and he seemed to be at a loss of words. I scooted off of his lap and looked at the random guy who had a smirk on his face. I looked back at Gerard but all he could do was smile and shake his head, it was obvious he wasn't about to explain the situation, so that left only me to tell my wonderful story.
“ I was having a really bad day and Gerard asked me if I wanted to go home with him to relax, so there wasn't any kidnapping involved, I promise. I went on my own free will. I would introduce myself but you already know my name, so if you wouldn't mind just who are you exactly?” The random guy shook his head at while laughing. As if he was in complete disbelief that he was talking to me. Why people behaved like that I will never know. Personally, I didn't view myself as anyone special, but people acted as if I was precious, and that it was a honor they could talk to me, and I hated every minute of it.
“Frank. Frank Iero. I’m Gerard’s friend, and may I ask what the hell he said to get you to go home with him. I've been trying to get you to notice me for years and you don’t even know my damn name?” It was true I didn't remember his name, but after staring at him for a few minutes I was able to recall as to why he was so familiar looking. I had seen him in the halls in school, he'd always give me the cheesiest "Hey I'm sexy" grin, and I would just roll my eyes and go the other way.
“Alright Frank, can you please be quiet for a few minutes, like the lady said she was having a bad day, I told her she could come home with me to relax and we were relaxing till you showed up.” Gerard looked over at me, leaning his head to one side, studying me. My stomach felt as if I had swallowed 15 butterflies. For some reason the way Gerard eyes looked at me, made my body heat up, and I didn't want him to ever stop starring at me.
"Skye I really hope your feeling better, I know I wasn't really much help, but hell I make one hell of a cuddle buddy." I couldn't help but to smile at him, every bone in my body was aching to jump right back in his lap. What the hell was wrong with me? When it came to guys I tried to behave the best I could, I liked having fun like everybody else. But for me there was so much more in life than just romance, especially high school romance which never lasted. But for reasons unknown to me, I liked Gerard, and even though my whole life seemed to being to shit, he was still able to make me feel better.
" Thanks, I think I am feeling..." I was cut off by my Sheldon Cooper Soft kitty ring tone. I got my iphone out of my jean pocket only to find that i had missed 24 calls and 15 texts messages. I opened up the last text message which was from Anna Claire it said " Hope you have fun at school tomorrow sweety because I sure as hell will :)" I could feel my blood run cold and I felt like was going to be sick.
