Caged Between the beta & alpha

RAVEN

Taylor and I watched another movie after , we talked about our sucky situations as we ate all the snacks and even grabbed some beer from the fridge .

Comforting each other when we needed it and laughing at our lame attempts at singing .

Yes , we were both tone – deaf and sounded horrifying , but hey we had fun and lots of giggles .
Taylor was an amazing friend , and although we weren’t close as children , it felt like I had known him forever .

I mean , I did , but not like this .
The credits of the second movie had now ended and the TV had switched off , but m e and Taylor were still awake , lying side b y side on the bed , staring at the shadows that were cast across the ceiling thanks to the moonlight shining through the cracks in the curtains and the tree branches .
” Raven … ” ” Yeah ? ” I said , yawning as I rubbed my eyes sleepily .
” You know , when we were little … When I was weird and awkward , that shy kid no one wanted to know or play with , you used to always greet me and talk to me ….

” ” You were not weird ; you were cute and adorable .
” I said , trying to keep my eyes open .

” Mmm you’d think that … But you were this little , tiny girl , like the smallest one i n the pack , and everyone used to say you had a growth issue … Cause you were like six , wearing two – year – old clothes … ” He said drowsily .
” Yeah … I remember … I’m sure it was three years clothing …  He chuckled sleepily .

” You were like a damn little doll … Walking and talking yet so damn doll sized … Well … you always had this big smile on your face and always talked to me , complimenting me on what I was wearing , my hair … saying good morning ….

and although it was something small , it made my day … So , thank you … ” He yawned , turning on to his side to face me .

” I never even knew your name for many years … ”
Hmm ? You didn’t ? ” I asked , turning my head to look at him .

” No , I used to call you the girl who looks like a doll … until I heard Liam calling you once … I’m older than you , but I was timid , and back then you were so brave ….

You still are … You’re damn perfect and no matter what you do , I’m going to support you ok ? ” His eyes fluttered shut , and I yawned again .

” Mmm thanks … I’ll always support you too … ” I remembered saying before my eyes fluttered shut and sleep welcomed me into its folds …
My eyes flew open , my heart pounding .

I sat up , looking around the room , it took m e a moment to realise I had fallen asleep a t Taylor’s .

His back was to me and he was snoring lightly .
I looked around the dark room , brushing my hair off my face .

How had I woken up ? Something didn’t feel right … I slowly got off the bed , not wanting to disturb Taylor .

I walked across the floor , careful not to step on the chocolate wrappers and rubbish that we had littered all over the floor , before I tip – toed to the window .
Taylor had left the top one open to air the room that had smelt of take – out , but it was fairly silent outside .

The distant sound of an animal and the rustle of the leaves in the trees were all that I could hear .

I peered out past the tree that stood in the corner of Taylor’s garden and my eyes fell on my old bedroom window that was just across from Taylor’s .
