Hold Me Close

~~~chapter 7~~~

The next morning I wake up with Bianca still next to me on the bed and broken glass all over the floor. How could Joffrey do this to me? I roll out of bed and into the bathroom. I pull my hair up into a bun and start brushing my teeth. Once I’m done with all of that I walk back into my bedroom to get ready. Bianca is still asleep so I try to be as quiet as possible. I just end up throwing a beige knit sweater and leggings with grey socks that go up to my knees. By the time I’m done Bianca finally gets up checking her phone for messages.

“I’m going to make breakfast, what do you want?” I ask as I’m about to leave the room.

“Just eggs.” She says looking up and smiling. “I’m going to get ready.”

Bianca always has a toothbrush here in case she sleepover; which happens a lot. But since we are the same size she just wears my clothes.

After a while I hear footsteps coming towards me. I turn to see Bianca coming towards me. She ended up wearing my favourite Adidas sweatshirt and leggings also.

“Your eggs are on the table.” I tell her and I can see she isn’t fully awake yet.

She groans, wiping her face with the sleeve. She sits at the table, where I placed her plate, crossing her legs.

“Thanks…” she pauses for a second and I can tell she wants to ask me something. “Are you okay this morning” she is about to say something else before I nod my head.

“Yea I’m fine.” I lie. I am feeling better but I miss him and we need to apologize to each other.

“Good because he texted me this morning. He wants to come back and apologize.” She says trying to examine my face. But I just smile. I need him to come I’m happy he said that. She smiles back and texts him back.

About twenty minutes go by and I hear the door open. I turn from the couch where I’m sitting to see Joffreys face looking at me. He cracks a small smile. I get up walking over to him. “I’m so sorry, I love you so much.” He smiles even wider when I hug him in response. I go on my tippy toes as I wrap my arms around his neck. He crouches down a bit and snakes his around my waist. “I love you too.”

We pull away and his smile has faded a bit. My eyebrows furrow. “What’s wrong?” I ask him curious. He takes a while to answer. “Nothing. It’s just I don’t think you fully understand what I’m sorry for-.” he pauses for a second. “I freaked out and broke all your things. Even that picture you absolutely love of the two of us.” he says. “I know. I understand.” I smile placing my hand in his. “Are you sure you forgive me?” he asks. I reassure him by placing a kiss on his lips.
