i want him

Night

You lay in your room, alone. You watching Friends on Netflix starting to feel kinda tired and ready to go to sleep. As you lay there you hear a small rap of something hitting your window you brush it off because it's probably nothing, but seconds later the same thing happens again, just a soft clink of something small against the glass window.

Cautiously you walk over not knowing what to expect, when you look down your legs turn to sand, he's standing there looking up at you and suddenly your 6 years old again and he's asking you to sneak out and play.

You shout-whisper down to him "what are you doing here!" He just gestures for you to come unlock the door.

You throw your hair in to a bun and practically fall down the stairs because your legs refuse to work properly, your whole head feels full of cotton and you feel like you might pass out.

You make it to the door but before you unlock it you become hyper aware of what your wearing, your wearing an oversized Grateful Dead T-shirt that used to be your moms which is frayed on the sleeves and has a mysterious hole near the bottom, your have no pants on because you were about to go to sleep. Only a pair of cheeky underwear, that do next to nothing to cover your ass which pokes out from under the shirt, preserve what little decency you still hold on to.

Your worried that he might leave if you take the time to go change. So, as quietly as you can, you unlock the door and slowly open it praying that nothing creeks and gives you away. Finally your face to face with him. You have to look up slightly to meet his eye and thats when you notice something you didn't before, his eyes are puffy, red, wet.... he's been crying.
