What did I ever do…?
Some of you might know this already, but my home life leaves a little to be desired. In fact it down right sucks most of the time. Sometimes I get so upset I just have to get out of my house. Up until a couple years ago I always went to the park to settle down. Then I found something that was so calming and settling that I would do it anytime I was upset. It really sounds sick and weird, but I climb up to the fire escape outside Freddie's bedroom, and watch him sleep. I don't even go inside, I just watch him through the window. Weird huh? It's never failed to make me feel better. I was even doing that before we were dating.
About a week ago, after a bad time at home, I was outside watching him sleep again. A storm came up. I was going to get drenched. I looked away when some lightning lit up the sky. When I looked back Freddie had opened the window and took my hands in his.
"Come in Sam, you'll catch cold out there tonight."
I was really startled, but he was right. He helped me in his room and asked if I would like a cup of hot chocolate. While we were drinking our hot chocolate in the kitchen, I asked him why he wasn't surprised. Freddie said he'd seen me out there every so often for over a year. He wasn't sure why I was there, but he thought if I had wanted him to know, I'd tell him.
What did I ever do to deserve this?
