Halden stuffed his hands into his pockets, and looked around. Cass' request was simple, and Halden stood in the exact same spot. Cass had offered him a place to stay.Get Cass something nice. Get him a new pair of flats. Payday Friday first. Work tomorrow at two. Buy some weed with my cash tips. Mmmm. Smoking. Cigarette. Nicotine sounds amazing. Triggered. Nicotine addiction. I'm a piece of shit. Buy him a nice bottle of chocolate liquor. Prove that you're not a piece of shit.
He waited for a while longer before he took a seat on the sofa, resting his elbows on his knees. He rested his chin on his elbows and closed his eyes.
Warm lips pressed against his, and he smiled into the kiss. His hand tangled into soft auburn locks as the kiss intensified.His brain was blissfully silent, and that moment was beautiful. He pulled away gently, and met intense amber eyes looking into his.
"Halden, I have bad news," Selena said softly, looking up at him. Her crimson bottom lip stuck out in a pout. He frowned and looked down at her, pulling out a cigarette. He lit it, waiting for her to explain.
"My dad's being moved again. We're leaving next week," She said, tears welling in her eyes. He frowned, feeling like someone had taken his heart out of his chest and he swallowed a hard lump forming in the back of his throat. He forced a sad smile onto his face.
"Then we'll have to make the best of it, won't we?" he said, and kissed her cheek. He shook the memory from his brain, wiping the tears from his eyes. Fuck you brain.
