Last time you checked your phone was two days ago, going on three. You were certain the batter was drained, but you didn’t bother to care.
You’ve been in bed mostly, getting up every now and then to go to the bathroom or grab a quick drink, but other than that, you were living in between your blankets.
You heard your door open, but at this point, you didn’t care if it was intruder or not. You were just going to tell them to take everything.
There’s a soft knock on your bedroom door and you mumble, not even sure if it was audible, “Go away.”
“No, I’m coming in.” Nick pushes the door open, “I just wanted to make sure you were here and not out there lost somewhere.” He closes the door and walks over to sit on the bed, “What’s goin’ on?”
You take a deep breath, rolling over, “Nothing.”
“Okay.” He kicks his shoes off and lays down next to you, “I’m just going to lay here with you then.”
You don’t answer. You just stare at the wall.
After a few minutes of silence, you break, “I just don’t have the energy right now. For anything.”
“I get that.” Nick rolls over onto his side, you do the same to face him, “I’ve been here. All but maybe an hour total.” You can feel your lip quivering, “I just don’t feel okay right now.”
He extends his arm out, “Come here.”
You move over, cuddling into his chest, “I feel bad for not letting you know.”
“You don’t have to be sorry. I think a part of you knew I’d be over at some point.” He chuckles lightly and you shrug, “I’m glad you did.” You sigh, “Wait, how’d you get in anyway? The door was locked.”
“I made a key.” He laughs, “Figured it would come in handy sometime.”
“I thought you were someone breaking it. I was just going to tell you to take whatever you wanted, just let me alone.”
He laughs slightly as he gives you tight squeeze, “You do know that if you ever need anything, I’ll always do what I can, right?”
You nod, “I know.. just felt like a bother.”
“You are not a bother. Not when you need me for something like this.” He runs his hand up and down your back, “It sucks being alone in your mind, but lucky for you.” He pulls his phone out, “You have a best friend like me who plans on hanging out for a while, so.. What do you want to eat?”
“Nothing.”
“Y/n.” He looks down, “I know you, and I can hear your stomach growling.”
You laugh slightly, a better feeling washing over you, “Yeah, I am pretty hungry.” He nods, “See. What do you want on your pizza?”
“Surprise me.” You take a deep breath, allowing him to place the order before hugging him tight, “Thank you for coming over. It really means a lot to me.”
“Sometimes all you need is your best friend.” He hugs you back, “And as your best friend, I’m going to need you to go get a shower because I know that’s the first step to pulling you out of this funk. Pizza should be here by the time you’re done.”
After you shower, you come out and Nick already has everything ready, “Come on. To the couch. We’re putting on a comedy, so what’s the funniest moving you can think of?”
You follow him over as you think, “I’m not sure. You pick.”
He nods, sitting down as he scrolls through, “How’s this?” You look at the tv and a smile cracks through onto your lips, “Yeah, that’s good.”
By the middle of the movie, you were starting to feel better. You were laughing with Nick, talking more. He was right when he said that all you need is your best friend sometimes.
Nick was literally a walking ray of sunshine, and you were blessed to have him in your life.
