Hey guys! I said I was going to do another story soon, and it's been a lot longer than I expected. With school and volleyball all day and night, it's been hard to find time to do this. Hope you enjoy this one shot!
She was mad at the universe.
Mad at the world.
Every little thing and everyone in it.
There wasn't one person who hadn't hurt her.
Not even the one she trusted the most.
Her dad hated her because of one stupid and simple comment.
Her mom always agreed with her dad, and her brothers weren't old enough to care.
When given the option of her or her parents; they chose her parents despite the fact that she was the one who did everything for them.
When she needed a place to go, only one person was there for her but even he would break her heart.
Junior year was a big year for Gravity 5.
In the second week of school Kacey went back to the Perfs.
For good.
Kevin moved to some town in Arizona, and Nelson fell in love with Grace, and they ran away together.
No one has heard from them since.
It was just him and her against the world.
All of this craziness happened in the first semester. So in the second semester, without a home, she went to him.
He let her sleep in his bed while he slept on the couch.
He held her when she cried herself to sleep.
To top it all off, he eventually let her fall.
Everything was good for awhile. She cried herself to sleep every night so it was rare if they didn't fall asleep with her in his arms.
It just felt natural to lie there together.
One night they shared a kiss, but he thought it was a mistake.
Just as she thought everything was perfect.
That was the last time she cried herself to sleep in his arms.
She still cried herself to sleep... every night.
It wasn't because she had lost everything.
It was because she had lost her best friend.
She slept in her treehouse without anybody knowing.
She worked at a restaurant so she always had food.
She didn't know what he was thinking at that time, which was wierd, so she just assumed that she didn't cross his mind..
He found her somewhere where she couldn't hide.
She must have told him a lot about that treehouse.
Two weeks after she left, he found her. Once again crying about her losses.
He came up and cornered her. She wasn't about to jump out of a window.
He once again held her as she cried.
He always saw her cry.
It got dark, and she fell asleep. When she woke up, he was still there holding her against his chest as he stroked her hair.
She didn't know if he ever slept.
They say good morning and go to get breakfast.
They could have talked.
They could have laughed.
Instead, they sat in silence, and she didn't mind it at all.
Afterwards, they went to his house and they finally talked... about everything.
She never told him why she left home, but in that moment, she didn't want to hide part of herself from him.
He listened like it was his life story instead of hers.
He held her on the tough parts, and his eyes said anything and everything words couldn't.
He truely did care about her, but she couldn't let what happened last time disappear from her memory.
When she was done, she was in tears again.
She has shed so many tears that she doesn't know how many are left.
He told her he was sorry about everything, and she believed him.
He didn't even do three fourths of what had happened to her, but it meant a lot that he cares and wishes he could have taken her place.
When she was done, they sat there and stared at each other. He was holding her hand and wasn't going to ever let go.
She was proud that night. She didn't cry nearly as much as she usually did, and her tears were a lot happier now.
She confessed every hurtful thing to her best friend.
After that night, he wasn't just her best friend anymore, but he was so much more.
He was the love of her life.
She told him that, and once again, his eyes said everything.
His eyes lit up like fireworks. She was happy that he finally felt the same way she did.
She never went back home, and there was no reason to.
She had found a new home where she lived with a person that cared, and she also cared about.
Life isn't easy, but no one has to go through it alone. When you realize who you want to be the one with you through all of it, hold on to them and NEVER let go.
That's the end! Hope you guys liked it! I will eventually do another story, but I don't know when it will be. Thanks for reading!
