Third person
Quiet whimpering could be heard from the young girl's bathroom. The locked door to her left, a phone to her right. It was left open to a single text, sent to "my life". It read: please save me. The message had been left on read at 11:29pm on a thursday.
Miguel's POV, lightly backed up:
I woke up blinking quickly as i looked to my phone and saw a notification.
My other half <3
Please save me.
Without thinking, i jumped out of bed and threw on a hoodie, grabbed my phone and keys and ran out my door towards my car. The empty streets gave a sort of shallow comfort to me, but i was too busy imaging my best friend curled up into a ball, back against her bathtub, alone.
Oh please be safe, y/n. I thought to myself. I arrived to her house and unlocked the door using my key she had given me. I rushed upstairs to the girl's room and immediately realized the state of her cluttered room, books and papers were scattered across the floor, it was a mess.
I slowly walked to the bathroom where i heard small quiet sniffles. I gently knocked on the door.
Y/N's POV:
- y/n? can i come in?
I heard him say outside my door. I breathed in once and slowly got up from my crumpled pose on my bathroom floor. The oversized shirt i had on over my bra was torn in multiple places. I looked back at the door.
Miguel's POV:
The wooden door creaked open as i looked at my best friend. Her feeble body could barely hold her up, her hair was messed up and her shirt was loosely draped over her shoulders.
- Oh, y/n. I said as i wrapped my arms around her. She didnt say a word, she just held me.
I put my keys and phone on a small table next to the door and shifted my body to lean against the doorframe. I slowly let go of her body. The girl kept her head tilted down.
Y/N's POV:
I looked at my floor. I didnt have the guts to look at my best friend looking so vulnerable. I then felt a hand place itself under my chin and life my face up to look at him. I looked into his kind brown eyes.
- Tell me.
- Tell you what? I replied, faking a smile.
- What's wrong?
I laughed weakly.
- I'm fine. I said as i sat on the bathroom counter.
The boy stood between my knees and looked at me.
- You know you can tell me anything, right? Im here for you.
- He.. i paused. He left me. I began.
- I told you, he chucked lightly.
- It's not funny, i said as i punched his arm. Damn he's strong. I thought to myself.
- Oh is it now? He replied. I was about to answer when i felt his arm wrap around my waist as he threw me onto his shoulder.
- HEY!! Where are you taking me?! I yelled as i swung my arms around, trying to get him to let me go.
Suddenly he dropped me onto my bed and sat down on the edge.
- You owe me 20 bucks for that, but for now what can i get you?
- Can you just, i hesitated,not wanting it to be awkward, hold me?
He nodded gently and motioned for me to come closer to him. I moved over to him and placed my head on his chest. He layed his hand on my hip, his arm wrapping around my body.
- Is this okay? He whispered.
- Mhm, i replied, closing my eyes.
I felt a small kiss on my head. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as I lightly blushed.
I opened my eyes to look at him, a small smile upon his lips as he looked at me.
- I love you. I said, as i looked into his beautiful brown eyes.
His smile grew wider.
- I love you too, y/n.
I leaned my head forward and kissed his cheek, then rested my head on his shoulder. I felt him wrap his hand around my thigh and move me so i would lay on his lap.
I smiled once more.
- Thank you for saving me, mi amor.
He chuckled.
- Any day, mi cielo.
That night we both fell asleep in each other's arms, and i couldn't have been more grateful to have my best friend with me.
