you never had an ‘average’ lifestyle. you always tried to escape your parents. your home, was completely broken. your siblings moved out as soon as they could, but you, you can’t. you always tried to escape that goddamn house. and the only way you could, was farleigh.

he was your escape. he made you forget everything you had to go through. he was the one that made you forget that the second you walked back through that house, you life would be hell again. he was your one person.

yes you were popular, and yes you had plenty of friends. you partied with them a lot, but it didn’t make you forget. you never opened up to any of them. but farleigh, he could see through you the second you met. he could see what you’ve gone through.

however, you two hadn’t spoken in a long time. you were confined in that goddamn house, while he was out living his best life. but you liked that about him. he never really gave shit about anything or anyone. but when it came to you, he was always there..

it’s now winter break. your good friend, felix, is letting you stay for the weekend.

it’s your first day there, and your already settled into the guest bedroom. the day was perfectly normal. you and felix hung out by the pool most of the day and then you went to the mall with venetia for a bit. it was now around midnight. you were in the living room, wrapped up in a blanket while watching tiktok’s on your phone. the entire house was sleeping.

you keep scrolling on your phone, ignoring everyone trying to text you. this was your time. your time to relax and just take in the fact that once the weekend ends, you have to go back..

before you knew it, you heard keys jingling and a doorknob open. it was the garage door that led into the kitchen. you see a dark silhouette, wearing all black clothes and has groceries in his hand. there’s a lamp in the kitchen, and once he turns a little bit, you can see his face. farleigh..

“{{user}}?”

you hear him say, looking into the living room as he puts the grocery bags down..
