[PHOENIX HARTE]

we're out of time and i can't breathe

[atrb=border,0,true] His head was hurting. There was a pounding in his head that felt like someone was just hitting him like he was a drum set. He really hated this feeling. He wanted to open his eyes but they felt like lead. His face was smashed to his pillow and he was pretty certain that he might have been drooling but some of us were never graceful sleepers. And Phoenix sometimes was never graceful, especially when he woke up with a hangover. The boy grumbled to himself as he willed his eyes to just open. It was kind of frustrating that they would not open. This was annoying. So he let out a sigh and then tried to open his dark eyes one more time. This time he got them to open and that was when he realized that he was not on his bus. He had no idea where he was at first and it started to make him panic. Normally he had never gotten this drunk before and this was one of the many reasons why. He hated when he did not know what had happened or where he was. It was probably a control thing but right now he would not dwell on it. He had more important things to think about. Like what had happened last night. After he got his thoughts together and made sure that jerking his head would not cause him pain of a thousand hot knives stabbing him he lifted his body and turned it to where he was lying on his back. He then looked over and he felt himself become kind of sick. It was because he knew the person with the pink hair that was sleeping next to him. Oh, well that was what he did. And then it all came back to him in one big flash. It kind of hurt for a second and he rubbed his temples and realized that he had no clothes on. Yeah, that was going to be a problem. So he threw the covers off of him and quickly changed into what he had been wearing before sitting back down where he had woken up from. He then looked back at Marley and bit on his bottom lip, unsure of what he should do. Maybe he should wake her up and then just say that it was a big fat whoops? Or he could quickly throw his shoes on and then run away and keep her guessing, since she was bound to rip off his nuts and spoon feed them to him. That really did not sound too pleasant but he was not a jerk either so waking her up it was. He coughed a little loudly, wondering if that would really work or not. When it didn�t he rolled his eyes and pushed her shoulder, gently calling her name. �Marley wake up.� he said once more, this time shaking her. He really did not want to have to scream her name in order to wake her up. That would be embarrassing you know? And he really did not want to resort to that. It was going to be bad enough that she was going to slaughter him he did not want to give her another reason to do so.

[MARLEY ROSE]

[/b] she muttered automatically keeping her eyes closed as her body slowly began to wake up. Her head was pounding and her mouth was dry which were obvious signs of a hangover making her wonder exactly what she had done the night before. She inhaled deeply and smelt a scent on the pillow case making her realize she really wasn’t even in her own bed and she was a little scared to turn over and see who was there. Slowly Marley reached down feeling her nakedness she groaned wondering who she was lucky enough to have a one night stand with and seriously hoping that word hadn’t gotten out or that she hadn’t slept with some crazed fan or something stupid like that.

She opened her eyes and closed them right after the light in the room causing her head to ache even more. With a sigh she slowly opened them again this time allowing everything to come into focus including the boy who called her name. When Phoenix came into view the first thing she wished was that she had slept with someone else because well this just wasn’t supposed to be happening they were supposed to be just friends and that was it. Her hand went to the necklace that hung around her neck and she gently rubbed her thumb over it as she looked up at her high school sweetheart. The events from the night before came flooding back almost making her head ache more so she closed her eyes and sighed gently laying back against the pillows and pulling the sheet up to cover herself not that it mattered it wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen it all before anyway. ’’Morning’’ she muttered her voice cracking as she lifted her hands to her forehead sighing once more. She then opened her eyes once more and scanned Phoenix realizing he had gotten dressed already, slightly wondering if he had been planning on just leaving her or if he had been ashamed of what had happened and those thoughts made her heart ache. ’’I see your already, dressed to go, don’t let me stop you’’ she snapped shaking her head as she sat up taking the sheet with her as she began to search for her own clothes.

[atrb=border,0,true] The situation that they were in was kind of funny if you asked him. Him and Marley were supposed to keep this as just friends. And yet here they were, the morning after a hook up and he was feeling kind of….well nice about it. Although, realistically she probably wanted to still be friends but she could not deny the fact that there was something there now. There had always been something there to him but now it was just exploding and he felt his heart flutter when she started to stir. He wondered what she was dreaming about and he had a nice chuckle when she asked for five more minutes. Well, he could probably let her have that, he was not that rude or anything. So he ran a hand through his messy hair. It was all lopsided now from his head being on the pillow. And it was bothering him because it was long enough to just annoyingly get into his eyes if he moved his head a certain way. Well he was going to have to fix that later, but for right now he wanted to wake up Marley because clearly they had a lot to talk about now. Would she still want them to be just friends or was this whole charade finally over? He had no idea honestly. And then he realized that he was kind of afraid of what she would say when she woke up and realized what had happened. They both had probably screwed up anything that was between them now. And the thought made him kind of sad, since this girl was pretty much his first everything and he still loved her very much. Although he figured that he would never really stopped loving her and that was the killer about this whole thing. She would always have a piece of his heart and he had no idea if it was comforting or if it was just plain annoying. Maybe a little bit of both. There was no doubt in his mind that he would spend the rest of his life with this girl if she would let him. She was quite stubborn, that much he knew. And maybe it was for the best that this happened. Maybe now they both could finally just get over each other since they were going to be friends. That was all that they could be and there was nothing that could stop it. He would just have to accept it. When she snapped at him he blinked in surprise and then shook his head, a little offended that she thought he was capable of that. Well then. He would never do that, not in a million years. He had a little bit more respect for people than that, and he thought it was just so dumb when people tried to get away. What purpose did it serve? So he shook his head at her while she found her clothes. “I was not going to just ditch you. I’m not that rude and I can’t believe you would think that I was.” he said with complete honesty and it was the truth. He would rather crawl under a rock and die than do that to her.

[/b] she whispered gently glancing at him then down at the blanket beneath her.

Marley didn’t know what she was supposed to do or say for that matter, her head still hurt and her throat was still really dry making it hard for her to focus on anything. So slowly she stood from her spot and moved to the bathroom grabbing one of the cups from there before filling it with water and chugging it down quickly. She repeated the process a few times before placing the cup down and heading back into the main room where she took her seat once more on the bed. Her finger absentmindedly went to the neck lace that hung around her neck the engagement promise that Phoenix had given to her and though at the time it was a sweet gesture she never really understood the true meaning behind it, why would he give her such a beautiful promise then go sleep with some other girl? It really didn’t make a lot of sense. ’’Obviously we need to talk ‘’ she finally spoke glancing up at him and biting her bottom lip. ’’Tell me what your thinking?’’ she added trying to figure out what was going on his head at that point in time.
