Take Me Away- Jerry Cantrell X Layne Staley

004

It was 3 AM once again.
And me and Layne were out Getting coffee.
It seems he had More energy at night.
Because he was all over the place again.
I had Been recording the whole time and i thought it was funny as shit, I was glad i was getting it on Tape.

"Layne, Please, Drink your coffee"

"If i drink it Now you'll have to Carry me home"

"your an Ass."
He Grabs his coffee as i grab mine and the Camera now heading back home.

"This is me In Atlanta, Trying not to feel it too hard."
He Mimics Dimebag once again as I burst out laughing As Layne Had Just made himself look like a FOOL.
Jumping in the air like an idiot.

"Your a Handful Layne Staley"

"I'm sure you can Take a Handful."
He Looks at me with a Devilish look as i raise my eyebrows At him.

"You Better Chill with the Dirty talk before you end up somewhere i don't think you wanna be."
He Looks at me and Scrunches his Nose As he takes a sip of his coffee.
A smile on his face Ear to Ear still.
God this boy was gonna drive me insane.

***
It's been 30 Minutes since i've been Home and Layne had drank all his coffee.

"How's that coffee treating your Insane ass, Once again?"
I set my camera up on my nightstand As Layne begins falling asleep.
I Adored it so much.
Seeing him go from all Willy Nilly to Absolutely CRASHING FACE FIRST into my bed.

"Layne layne layne..Come on let's get you out of this Hoodie"
I try to take it off of him as Layne Snaps the moment i Put my hands on him.

"NO! No no...Keep it...Keep it on me... I like this Hoodie...It...It makes me feel like i'm constantly surrounded by you..."

"What do you mean by that Layne Staley, It's a Dirty Hoodie come on i'll put you in a clean one"
Coffee for him was like alcohol.
He spoke his mind when He had one of the two.
And it also didn't help that he was Half asleep and didn't care about what he was saying.

"I Like you Jerry...I don't wanna take it off.... It...Makes me feel safe knowing it's...Something From You...You make me feel...so safe...so so safe..."
i couldn't believe what i was hearing right now.
And i caught it all on tape.
yea...i was still Filming...

"Layne...Layne Layne Layne....What am i gonna do with you."
I Lay down next to him as He Looks at me with the last of his energy.

"Your gonna hold me like you did last night...and make me feel Safe Again..."
My heart nearly dropped hearing all these words out of his Mouth.
He was Mumbling but i could definitely hear what he was saying.
And the more i thought about it the more i knew i was In Love.
The more i realized i was genuinely in love with this little shit.

He Crawled on top of me and Held me.
i held him Back and Embraced him once again.

"I Like You Jerry....Your a Good human being.."
And off to sleep he was.

I almost couldn't Understand.
Did he catch feelings for me too or was i just so in love that i wanted to believe.
I Couldn't believe what i was Hearing.
He really said that to me.
He admitted that i made him feel safe.

I felt so special.
and so loved.
I felt everything all at once.
and god it felt amazing.
