Start from the beginning
                                    

"What? Oh...no I was just closing my window." I sighed resting my arms on my window sill. He nodded his head and copied my body language. "So how's you're um...you know."

"Oh he's great...Speak of the devil he's calling me, I have to go." I quickly shut my door and ran back to bed crawling under my blankets. I stared at the ceiling until I could stop crying.
................................................................................

"Eliana! WAKE UP!" my eyes flew open at the sound of my mother yelling. She started aggressively banging on the my bedroom door, I slowly got out of bed, and walked over to the door unlocking it.

My mom stood in front of me with her body hunched over. "Yes?" I questioned rubbling my eyes.

"This is all your fault. You're the worst daughter. I just wish you were never born. It's your fault Eliana."

I could feel tears threatening to leave my eyes, but I quickly blinked them away, "I'm sorry mum I really-"

"No you aren't!" She pulled me by the collar of my shirt, "Get out of my house for the rest of the day. I don't want to see you until he arrives." she harshly pushed me back into my room and shut the door.
She wanted me out of the house. So I walked into my bathroom, brushed my teeth tied my hair into a ponytail. I put on my grey sweatpants along with my black hoodie. I quickly walked out of my room, making sure not to make a sound. I walked out of the house and quietly closed the door.
I stood  in the street not knowing where the hell to go...the time was 7 am. Most people were still asleep.

I looked around the street trying to figure out where to go, until my eyes landed on his house. I quickly walked to his window and found a few pebbles. I threw it and it lightly tapped his window, after a few more throws I heard the window opening. Miles stuck his head out of it and gave me a very displeasing look.

"Franklin it's seven o'clock in the morning what could you possibly want?"

"Can I come in?" I looked at him picking at my nails. He gave an unsure look, "Miles please."

"Go to the front." he disappeared from the window, so I walked to the front of his house patiently waiting for him to open the door. After a few seconds the door opened and he allowed me in.
"My parents are still sleeping so we gotta be quiet."
he whispered as I followed behind him. I walked into his room, I've always seen it from the window but now that I was in it, it felt very strange.

Miles closed his door and walked towards me, my eyes trail down to his tattoos. I tried to take in every little detail, but he cleared his throat making my eyes shoot up to meet his. "Eliana...have you been crying?" he tried to walk closer to me but I walked backwards trying to avoid his touch.

"What? No." I chuckled silently. He looked at me as if I'm a liar. "Eliana why are you up so early?"

"Because."

"Because. Can you like stop interrogating me?" I felt frustration in that moment. Why was he trying to get every piece of information out of me? It was annoying and I hated it.

"Eliana I'm just trying to make sure that you're fine-"

"Well don't!" I slightly raised my voice and walked over to the other side of the room trying to avoid eye contact with Miles.
"See this. This is your issue, you never want help even when you need it." He walked up to me and turned me around making me flinch. "DON'T TOUCH ME."

His eyes widened at the sight of me, tears started falling out of my eyes and my knees felt weak. I fell to the ground and carried my sobs with me. Miles stood there staring at me with shock in his eyes.

"Eliana-"

"I should've never come here." I quickly stand up and walk to the door. "I'm so sorry." I opened his bedroom door but he grabs me and pulls me into a hug. His hands were tight around my waist, I could feel myself starting to cry again. I cried into his chest, taking in the bit of affection that he was giving me.

"Did you sleep last night?" I heard him say softly, his hands started circling my back, "A bit yeah."

"Go to my bed. I'll make you some te-"

"No don't leave me. Please don't leave me alone."

"Okay. Okay I'm right here." he let go of me and guided me to his bed. He opened the blankets getting in the bed first and then patted the spot next to him. I slowly climbed in and lay on my side facing away from Miles. His arms quickly snaked around my waist pulling my body closer to his. "I'm here." he whispered, before fell asleep.
