Chapter 6: Script

It's 3am, I can't sleep. I stare up at the ceiling wondering if I should read my script or just try to go back to sleep. My mind was made up too quick, my script. It's been getting me extremely anxious lately, Bruno's been nice about it, but I don't think he knows how bad it is. I decide to go see if he's awake so we can practice our script.

I stumble around the dark hallway desperately trying to find his room. God I wish I had my phone with me. I find a door handle, recognising the unique pattern on it, and I open the door slowly.

He's not asleep, he's sitting up on his bed with his head in his hands, I rush over to him and hug him. I don't think he knew I was there form the get go, but he hugged back squeezing into my side.

We sat like that for a few minutes, no talking, until I decide to ask him what's wrong.
"Bruno what's wrong? You've been acting weird since my party, and now I find you here like this? Please tell me," I ask him.
"I can't Y/n, I just can't."
"Why not?"
"Cause, I just can't."
"Please tell me Bruno, I care about you."
"Okay."
"I'm stuck, I'm inlove with a girl who won't pick up on any of my hints, she's going through a really tough time and I don't even know how to help her. It's just all so stressful Y/n," he finishes.
"I'm sure you'll figure it out, just make sure she knows that you're there for her, and she'll pick up on your hints soon enough. Sooooo, who is this girl?"
He looks at me regretfully
"Girl from school?" I ask.
"Yeah... girl from school." He turns away from me and lays his head on a pillow. What did I do? I try to lie down next to him, but he just says,
"Goodnight Y/n, I'll see you in the morning." Oh? I say goodnight and head back to my room and try to get some sleep.
