{ Farrow } My patience is nowhere to be found. I spent all of last night restless as hell and this morning at work, I had to have the same conversation with like ten different people about my situation while all I wanted was to just go home with Sky already. "Okay, listen to me... don't pus
Once we're in the kitchen, and I see Sky moving around fixing the plates for us, a strong sense of nostalgia hits me. It almost feels like nothing happened at all... I can almost envision the life I’d still have if it weren’t for that cunt. "Ugh," I hear behind me and my back straightens immedia
{ Sky } I keep telling myself I’ll go to my own room soon and leave Farrow to his own devices, but I can’t. I stay with him in the living room bed, in totally different ends of it… except not really because at some point we’re both right in the middle. Farrow wants to know everything he missed w
{ Sky } I feel terrible today. I don't know what it is, but I woke up feeling weak and broken and so very tired. But hungry. So when I walk back downstairs after my nap and Farrow offers to make me something for breakfast, I say yes and I wait for him in bed. I mean, in the boys' bed, in the
Oh, dear Mother. I hadn’t even thought about that at all. This is the first time that Bobbie shows interest in a specific boy. I didn’t think it was that deep. But… I was already in love with Farrow at her age. And that turned out to be a teenage pregnancy. "We have two years," he says, shaking
{ Farrow } How did we end up this close? I didn’t even notice because I was so worked up about Bobbie, but… she’s right here. Like, right fucking here. "Well, I hate it," I mutter, except Sky also notices our proximity and she moves back. Fuck, "I just feel so... like I lost so much time." "It
That's the most dangerous he's ever been to me. I can't be weak like that and I can't just let him kiss me, no matter how much I want it and how perfect it felt for a second. But on the flip side, painting comes easily today and it helps keep me distracted for a couple hours... until I start fe
"No, I won't. You'll be better soon," I say, turning to him when we reach Bobbie's room. I look up at him and... I see my Farrow. But his face is slimmer and facial-hair free, he looks younger like this and it's messing me up inside, "You'll stop trying to kiss me." "I haven't tried even once," he
I laugh, that sounds more like him. So different to me, even to this day. “Because who needs love, right?” I smirk at him. Henry shrugs. “What even is love and why do people think a spouse the only source of it?” He asks. Of course, always with his mental gymnastics, “You give me love. My parent
"I'm going to cook something, come help me," Henry says as he comes back, making me look up from my phone. I nod and get up to follow him to the kitchen, "I'm feeling pasta, you want some?” "Yes, something cheesy," I say, opening the fridge to start taking stuff out. Henry is the chef in this hous
"Alright, alright, sorry," Garrett lifts his hands in rendition, "I just was certain you guys were a thing because of something Harrison said... Anyway, I guess we can sleep together, bro, like when we were kids. Does Bobbie know that? We shared a room our whole lives and then we shared a bed for a
"Oh, Bob, I really miss having you home," he sighs, tightening his hold on me, "But I guess I had to let go of you. Even if I didn’t want to.” "Yeah, but we live ten minutes away from each other and I see you almost every day, so I don't think this is really like... a big deal," I murmur, but he's
“Okay, okay, we should sit down again before the pizza gets even colder,” my mom murmurs, so we all return to the table, but my dad can’t stop smiling and being all over her, kissing her hand and looking at her like she’s his whole world, completely forgetting about the pizza. And us. “I love you
"We love you, Mom," Vinny repeats. She bends down to hug them and kiss their heads, then she stands up again and I get up to hug her. My mom stopped growing at five foot three, so I stand four inches above her. "Are you going to get all jealous again?" She asks with an amused smile. I scoff. "
{ Bobbie } Everyday I wake up knowing I'm a lucky girl. Very few people have what I have. Such good friends, such a good job, such a good family... I am grateful, even if sometimes I act like I hate the world. I really don't. I'm just not good at dealing with frustration. Like, at all. And even
Bobbie swallowed with nerves and seemed panicked as she considered it, but a few seconds later she finally nodded, making my heart thrum with excitement. I moved closer trying not to seem too eager and I touched those pink plump lips with mine. Just a little at first, still a little unsure of what
"Okay, I got it," she scoffed and finally sat down next to me, but her arms were crossed and she was pouting, "I really liked you.” "Why?" I asked, really curious. She frowned and looked at me, "Explain. With examples." "I don't know, dude, I guess you're cute," she said, shrugging like it's not
