An: from now on, I will be writing these with quotes that have to do with the chapter.
/\ He wanted to say I love you, but just said goodnight, /\
/\ because love would take some falling, and she was scared of heights. /\
He woke with a start. He re-read the messages from Skype, blushing and smiling to himself. She really cared…? How….
He was
Fucked up,
Broken,
Scarred.
How could she love him? He was a broken glass portrait, once beautiful but now scattered, and she…. She actually wanted to put it back together?
Because she truly believed that like a mosaic, she could take those pieces and put them together to create something new, something beautiful?
He laughed at himself. Maybe she was different than he thought. Maybe she could care for him, but something deep inside him told him she felt the same way…There was the movies… and the cuddling?
But this made Adam think of when he first told her he liked her…
(flashback time mothafuckas)
"Hey, Fi… What's up?" Adam asked. He missed the sound of her voice every second.
"Not much, watching a movie. Hey, what was that thing you were gonna tell me?"
"Nothing, ha-ha." Adam shook his head…. 'Don't tell her… Don't, tell, her…' He chewed his lip.
"Oh my god, just tell me already." She began to get frustrated with him. He always did this. It annoyed her so much. "Just say it. It can't be that bad, it's not like you like me or something." She cringed.
Adam frowned. 'But I do… Think Adam, think!' He shuffled uncomfortably. "What would you do if I told you I liked… Clare?" He felt bile rising in his throat.
"Well… I don't care, I mean, that's your thing. Whatever."
Adam wasn't sure how he felt about that- but he knew it was kind of what he'd wanted her to say.
"Well, uh…" Adam swallowed hard. 'Fuck, Fuck, Fuck…'
"Wait a second, do you like me?" Fiona laughed, and Adam bit his lip and quickly mumbled,
"Yea, actually." He smiled, but it was small, and God, was he scared…
Fiona paused, and scoffed surprised. She rolled her eyes.
"I knew it." Adam wasn't sure what that meant, but at least it wasn't "EWWW!"
"So…. What now?"
"Well, I don't like you like that. I'm strait."
"So am I…"
"Lol. Ok. Well, I have to go, I'm still watching the movie."
"Yea, ok, bye." Adam Smiled as he hung up. It felt so good to have that off his chest.
But since then, he's
Cuddled her,
Held her hand
Gone to the movies,
She's kissed his cheek,
He's wrapped his arm around her,
And last night, he told her how perfect she was in different words multiple times,
And when he said he was leaving, she told him not to go, because she needed him,
And she promised to stay,
And she promised to help,
And he wanted to say I love you,
But he just said goodnight,
Because love would take some falling,
And she was scared of heights.
