Cory's pov
A few months back, a girl moved in across from me. Her name was Shelby. We... haven't talked much, but I have a crush on her. I don't want her into my messy life. She would get hurt, and nothing goes right for me. She would leave me. It's 11 at night, storming, and I can't fall asleep.

Knock knock.

Who could be up at this hour, none the less be knocking on my door? Whatever. I get out of bed, and walk to the door. I open it, to find Shelby's face soaked in tears and hugging a pink pillow tightly.

"Shelby? Are you crying?" I ask.

"Y-yea.... I have a h-huge fear of t-thunder storms...." She whimpers.

Then, thunder boomed outside. Shelby freaked and hugged me. I hugged back.

"D-do you... think I'm c-childish... because of m-my f-fear...?" She asked.

"I think your childish either way you little red goofball." I smiled.

"T-thanks... c-can I s-sleep with you...?" She asked.

"Of course Shelby. Of course." I comforted her.

I lead her back into my room, and I got on one side, and she got on the other.

"You sure you don't want me to sleep on the couch?" I asked.

She snuggled into my side.

"Yeah... your really warm... can you give me a goodnight kiss?" I saw her face red, but she had a smirk on her face.

"Aw... I love you too Shelby." I said.

She kissed me, and I kissed back. She wrapped her legs around my waist. I wrapped my arms her neck, and played with her hair. She finally pulled away.

"Goodnight, handsome~"

"Goodnight, beautiful~"
