** Inspireret af Taylor Swift's sang 'You belong with me'.You belong with me
Part 1
I groaned and rolled over in my bed. They’d just got to be kidding me. Who texts people in the middle of the night? I sighed. Well, I might as well check it anyway.
With my eyes still closed, I reached for my phone on the night stand. “1.. 2.. 3” I counted before I turned on the lights. I groaned again and looked at the time; 1.30 am. I flipped my phone open. “1 new message” it said on the screen.
“Pull up your blinds.” I didn’t even need to check who it was.
I already knew. It was him.
I slowly got out of bed and went to my window, pulled up the curtains and there he was; sitting on his bed. I smiled at him and sat back on my bed. We sat there for a couple of minutes before I eyed him; wanting him to tell me what he wanted.
He found a piece of paper; wrote something on it and held it up for me to read.
“Can we talk? I need you.” It said. I nodded, found a piece of paper and wrote “Outside in 5 minutes.” I held it up to show him, he nodded and jumped off the bed.
I got myself off of the bed and put on my hoodie and a pair of comfy pants. I slowly walked down the stairs, and went to the kitchen. I searched through the cabinets, knowing exactly what I’m looking for. I found the box and quietly walked out of the house. My parents were still asleep since it was in the middle of the night on a school day.
I got outside and the cold air hit my face and body, making me shiver. I walked down the garden path and turned the corner. There he was; on the bench, alone waiting for me.
“Hey” I said and sat down next to him. He looked at me, and I saw nothing in his eyes. Nothing. Those eyes who used to have sparkle and life in them where now looking into mine with no feelings showing.
“Hi..” He answered, sighing and looked at the ground again. He was bending over, his arms resting on his knees.
“So..” I said, after a few minutes of silence. “You need-”
“She cheated on me..” He cut me off. He didn’t look up, he didn’t even turn his head; just kept staring at the ground. I didn’t know what to do. He just told me that his girlfriend cheated on him, and here I was - his best friend - and what did I do?
Nothing.
“How do you know?” I stammered at last, looking at him. His blond hair falling in his face, covering his eyes.
“I saw them..” He said quietly, almost in a whisper but it was loud enough for me to hear it.
I mimicked his position; put my elbows on my knees and bend forward. He told me the story. I knew it was hard on him. I knew he loved her, and I knew that she never loved him as much as he loved him or as much as I loved him. He’d called her; asked her if she wanted to do something, but she said she had other plans; some sort of family get-together. He decided to go to town by himself and there he saw her. But not alone, she was with another guy - they were kissing.
“Are you okay?” I asked. Stupid question, I know. But I couldn’t come up with anything else to say.
“You really want me to answer that question?”
“No..” I felt horrible. I didn’t know what to do. He was my best friend and he was just sitting there feeling awful and I didn’t know what to do.
A thought went through my head. I knew it was stupid, but maybe I should just tell him how I feel. It wasn’t like I could make him feel anymore sad than he already was. Maybe I should just start by cheering him up, since I was failing so badly at that.
“Tom, look; I so sorry to hear about this and I know that you feel horrible right now. But I really don’t know what to say..”
“It’s okay Jules..” He just said. He still hadn’t looked at me properly.
“Tom..” I said quietly.
“Yeah?” He finally turned his head.
“I.. uhm..” I stammered. Should I tell him?
“I brought Cheese Twists..” I finally spoke. A little smile appeared on his lips and I gave him the box.
“You’re a nutter, did you know that?” He chuckled. Finally, I sighed. This was all I needed; to see him smile again.
“Yeah, I know..” I smiled.
Silence again; this time not as awkward as earlier. The thoughts were still flying around in my head; should I tell him or should I just stay quiet? We’d been best friends since forever and I’d been in love with him almost half the time. He had the right to know, didn’t he? And now when he didn’t have a girlfriend anymore there wasn’t anything that could stop me right?
“You deserve so much better than Christie..” I said.
“Please don’t say her name.” He just said.
“Sorry..” Was all I say before I continued; “But I mean it. You should be with someone who knows the real you, someone who makes you happy and smile when no one else is capable of doing it. You belong to with someone who loved you just as much as you long her..”
“But she isn’t here, Jules. I thought it was like that with.. her. But I was wrong and now I’m just going to be a lonely man with a lot of cats!”
I couldn’t help but laugh at him. He looked over at me, smiling. It wasn’t the smile he used to have when he was really happy. But it was a start and I was not going to give up until he showed me that smile.
“Really Jules, where is the girl I truly belong with? It’s not like sh-”
“Tom?” I cut him off.
“Jules?”
”Have you ever thought.. just maybe.. you belong with me?”
