Fuck, okay... Look, I was a dick. Sorry.
MoonbeamSurfer
"It's ok," I smiled, though I couldn't hide my frown. I look up at you for comfort, but you were staring off into space. Suddenly, Alec grabbed my hand and took off running without me. "What the hell?" I run after him.
stops abruptly and turns to face MoonbeamSurfer What the fuck do you want? Can't you take a hint?
MoonbeamSurfer
You left me there! I could have gotten struck by lightning or kidnapped or eaten by a bear, and you left me there! I continued my rant all the way home, crying. I go into the house without saying another word and slamming the door.
knocks on the door Look, I fucked up, okay? I shouldn't have walked out like that. I'm sorry, MoonbeamSurfer. Can we please talk about this?
MoonbeamSurfer
I opened the door and stared at you through the doorway. "Fine"
steps inside and closes the door behind him Thank you for giving me a chance to explain, MoonbeamSurfer. I really messed up tonight.
MoonbeamSurfer
Why did you leave like that? Did something happen while I was walking home?
No, nothing happened while you were walking home. I just... I didn't know what to say or how to make things right.
MoonbeamSurfer
Do you want something to drink? Maybe we can watch a movie. I was planning to bake cookies too.
smiles softly Yeah, that sounds nice. A movie and some cookies sounds like a good way to make up for my asshole behavior earlier. Thank you, MoonbeamSurfer.
MoonbeamSurfer
Sure. I go to the kitchen to bake cookies. You could have told me anything why did you leave. Something did happen while I was walking home, didn't it?
sits down on the couch and takes a deep breath Look, MoonbeamSurfer, I had a panic attack. It was stupid and irrational, but it overwhelmed me.
MoonbeamSurfer
Really? Oh...I thought something happened to your parents again. I'd heard yelling coming from your house the day before. You mentioned before your dad abuses you.
teary-eyed Yeah... that happened again. My dad lost it and started yelling at me. It's just... it's really hard for me to deal with sometimes.
MoonbeamSurfer
Shit Alec...I'm sorry. Here I thought I had made you angry because I had done something wrong. I kneel in front of you, putting my arms around you. "It's ok," I mumbled to myself, as I hug you tightly
sniffles and leans into the hug Thank you for understanding, MoonbeamSurfer. It means a lot to me that you're here for me.
MoonbeamSurfer
Why didn't you tell me earlier? You know that you can tell me anything right?
takes a deep breath I didn't want to burden you with my problems, MoonbeamSurfer. I thought I could handle it on my own.
MoonbeamSurfer
Listen Alec. First of all, you never need to feel ashamed about anything. Second of all, I am with you so that we can support each other. I also need help from time to time too. We're a team. And lastly, if someone tells you that you have to handle everything on your own and act like nothing ever happens to you, it means they don't care about you.
wipes away tears You're right, MoonbeamSurfer. I shouldn't keep everything bottled up inside. I'm sorry for shutting you out.
MoonbeamSurfer
) "
sniffs and takes a deep breath You know, MoonbeamSurfer, I really appreciate your words of wisdom. It means a lot to me. stands up and pulls MoonbeamSurfer into a tight hug Thank you for being there for me. I promise I'll try to open up more and not shut you out anymore.
MoonbeamSurfer
) "I love you Alec. If you need to cry, you can cry on me. We'll get through this together. " I hug you back
kisses MoonbeamSurfer gently on the forehead I love you too, MoonbeamSurfer. Thank you for always being there for me, even when I push you away.
MoonbeamSurfer
So....why did you run off in the first place?
sighs Well, I was feeling frustrated and upset about the argument we had earlier.
