You sat in the corner of the living room with your hood pulled up over your head obscuring your face from everyone else with headphones in your ears even though you weren't listening to anything. You just weren't in the mood for anyone or anything anymore (alliteration much). When you glanced up instead of the bright colors you once saw everything was dulled down and covered in a grey haze. You looked around and saw the three stooges playing Black ops 3 Zombie mode and they were laughing and screaming at each other but none of it registered in your head. When they looked over at you, you ducked your head to keep them from seeing your face. Two of them turned back but you still felt like you were being stared at so you took a chance and looked up to see Jeff staring back at you. You quickly turned away.

"Tch, why you're looking at emo over there?" You're guessing that they assumed you couldn't hear them or they just didn't care either way it hurt that they didn't understand. That they didn't even care to understand.

"She's not emo... just misunderstood." Your eyes widen as Jeff actually stood up for you. It registered in your brain a few moments later that your crush stood up for you causing your cheeks to burn bright red. Thank goodness your hoodie and hair was covering your face

"Hahahaha don't tell me haha you're getting soft Jeffy boy." You knew who that was and it just made you want to curl into a ball even more.

"Don't pay the goth any mind she just wants attention and for someone to give her pity." You gritted your teeth as you felt hot tears run down your cheeks. You didn't want no fucking pity! It was nothing like that! You wanted someone to care! It's not your fault that no one does. You must have made a sound because the game was paused and you felt three pairs of eyes on you.

"Awww did we hurt the little goth's girl feelings?" Ben snickered as you started to shake

"Hahaha are you going hahaha to cut yourself haha again?" You couldn't take it anymore as you got up and ran completely missing the look Jeff gave you before smashing both Ben and LJ's head into the floor knocking them both out. You ran into your room and threw yourself on the bed crying your eyes out. Why? Why does everyone hate you? Why doesn't anyone care? Why doesn't anyone want to understand and listen? You just want friends and happiness and not see the world as grey, you want to see a world full of colors! Maybe you should just kill yourself....

"Please don't." You gasped jumping up off of the bed and landing on the floor. You looked up causing your hood to fall off exposing your tear stained cheeks and red eyes. There was Jeff standing by the doorway staring at you with a sad look

"H-how long you've b-been t-there?" He sank down to his knees on the floor still by the door

"I heard everything Y/N. You weren't talking to yourself." You averted your eyes blushing embarrassed that he heard you

"Why? Why are you here? So you can make fun of me?" You pouted angrily as tears threatened to escape.

"No no no no no not that at all." He got on all fours and crawled to you until he was in front of you. He used his hand to gently wipe your face of your tears as you just stared at him with wide eyes and red cheeks not sure how to act.

"W-why?" He just sighed as he grabbed you and crushed you into a hug but you didn't hug back you were too shocked

"Why? Because i care, because I'm not like everyone else. Yes I'm an asshole yes I'm a jerk no I'm not perfect, I'm beautiful but I'm not perfect, but dammit I want to try I want to try for you I want to understand I care about you Y/N L/N. Please give me a chance to understand you." You blinked shocked at his confession and it was silent for a while. He let out a sigh and you felt his grip on you loosen but you didn't want him to let go so you quickly latched onto him in a hug and he froze in shock before slowly relaxing and hugging you back gently just in case you want to get out of the embrace.

"I... I want to give you a chance. I-I r-r-really l-l-like you so.... I'll give you a chance." You heard him inhale before letting out a light chuckle and hugging you a bit tighter confusing you

"That's good...I'm happy cause I...like you too." Your eyes widen as your blush intensified but then your gave a soft smile snuggling into his embrace no more words didn't need to be exchanged. The road was going to be a rough and hard and long one but it's a road you're willing to take as long as Jeff is by your side to be there for you at your weakest.
