The day had been a daze. It always felt like time was moving too fast when i was with him. Travis had reached at Lamar's house so we had to run as quickly as we could. We were as chipper as two lovebirds sitting on the tree infront of us. It's like he'd forgotten his demons and i'd forgotten mine.
We reached a shady little storage unit. Abel had no other choice. He had a few words with the owner and soon we were alone in this tiny room.

"I didn't expect you to come" abel says honestly.

"I had to, it was you." I reply. Abel always felt foreign to me. Like something i've been yearning to touch for years but my fingers just slip through the cracks. So when he told me to run with him it felt like what i'd been trying for 4 years of my life , done , wrapped in a bow.

"We'll go for dinner in a while" abel murmurs through his joint.
He smokes his blunt and i awkwardly sit beside him in the closed storage unit . I notice his hair was unkempt - growing out.
I liked it , oddly enough.

Abel shudders all of a sudden and i realise i haven't been paying much attention to his scars.
"Abel..." i stretch out his arm,
"Remove your jacket." I command firmly.

"No. " He looks back at me , cocks his head to the side and gives a little defeated smile.

"I don't wanna talk about the fucking cuts , i want you to kiss me until i forget about them." he licks his lips , his tone had been steady so i obliged.

I sat on top of him and started kissing his ear. Abel still smoking his joint , wraps his arm around my waist.

I look at his eyes , it felt as though I could look past the walls his eyes had - back into his chaotic head. I shut his eyelid and planted a soft kiss on it.

Abel places his blunt between my teeth. I smoke for a while and then put it out.

The air in the room felt sad. Like both of us were hiding something. I was hiding Travis and he - well, his demons.
