Let me hold you through the nights where the storm silences our words
Conor's POV
After a while, I felt Natalie begin to droop a little, tired. I pulled my mouth away from hers, may I add with a great deal of difficulty, and stroked her hair.
"You need to sleep," I whispered, her eyes bloodshot but more awake than this morning.
"I don't want you to leave..." She trailed, her voice laced with sleep.
"I have to." I said, my voice definite but sad, "Your brother will be back any minute, and he won't be too happy to see me still here."
"Fuck my brother," Anger flickered across her eyes, and I wondered what had gone on between them.
"Seriously," I soothed, "I need to go."
"Fine." She turned away from me slightly, and I sighed.
Grabbing her hand and a pen, I scribbled my number onto her hand, "Call me if you get lonely."
Her mouth curved upwards a little, smiling. I brought my face closer to hers, staring deep into her eyes before I kissed her softly once more.
"Bye, Conor." She pulled away, biting her lip.
"Bye Nat," I winked, standing up and walking out of the door.
Immediately, I headed up the beach, watching as my feet left their imprints on the sand. After a minute, I was where I'd seen Nat. I sat down and wrapped my arms around my legs. I closed my eyes, taking in and releasing a deep breath.
I hold you close, teaching you how to climb to the sun, using the stars as the ropes to guide us there. The heat here doesn't even begin to compare with the heat passing from your soul to mine, entangling us in a web of passion. I feel your pulse, in sync with mine, filling the space most people use for words. But we don't. We create our own music, with the sound of our gentle breathing and heart beat.
I kiss you, a sweet, intoxicating kiss that tastes of summer and ice cream. Your mouth smiles against mine, loving it just as I am. You rarely smile. I always wished you'd smile more. I know what it feels like to be broken, I know what it feels like to hurt. But loving you, that takes all the pain away, like using salt on a cut but without a sting.
I want you to know that I care about you, a lot. I want you to know that I'm here for you, you can tell me anything. I can rescue you from locked away in your tower, I can slay the dragons that guard you there. I can spend my life picking flowers for your hair, or sweeping Saturn's rings for diamonds. I can pull the clouds away from covering the sun with strings of floss, like balloons. I can use a bandage to fix the sadness in your eyes.
I can make you believe.
I woke up to the sound of my phone. I blinked. The sky had turned dark, stars scattered across the horizon like a thousand fire flies. I didn't know how long I'd been asleep for, but it must have been at least a couple hours.
"Hello?" I answered, smiling as a beautiful voice echoed through the speaker.
"Hey," She said, "It's me."
"Nat," I breathed, "I've missed you."
There was a pause at the other end, filled only by the sound of her breathing.
"Where are you?" She asked, and I looked around me.
"The beach," I answered, pulling myself up off the sand, and beginning to walk back towards the direction I came.
"Come over." The sound of her voice made it seem more like a demand than a question.
"Why?" I said, worried about the way she was speaking.
"I need you." Her voice cracked as she spoke, and then the line went dead.
I froze. Something was wrong. I slipped my phone into my pocket, scanning the beach for the footprints I had made earlier. Finding them, I sprinted across the sand as fast as I could, my breathing forced and uneven.
Her house came into view, and I ran straight up to her door, knocking against it a few times in rapid succession. It opened slowly, and my eyes widened.
"What the hell do you want?" As Jas spoke, his hands clenched tightly into fists.
Fuck.
