Liar Liar

Aching my head like it's the weight of the world

"Thanks. Bye," I said quickly as he parked his car outside my apartment building.

"I'm not going anywhere," he smirked at me.

I sighed.
But I let him follow me inside.

When we entered my apartment, I walked into my room and shut the door.
I sat down on the floor and rested my head against the wall.

"Autumn?" I heard Frank call from outside my room, "Are you sure you're okay?"

No.
I wasn't okay.
I wanted him to leave.

"Maybe you should go back and help the guys pack up," I suggested.

"Nah, they don't need me."

I groaned and hit my head against the wall.

I felt like I was melting.
My head ached.
My throat was dry.

I needed him to leave.
I needed to put myself back together.
I needed to crawl back into my coffin and hide.

"Autumn?" I heard him ask again.

I heard him slid his body down my door.

"I'm fine Frank," I replied.

"Can I come in?"

I stood up quietly and walked over to the door, yanking it open.

Frank, still leaning against the door, fell over backwards into my room.

He smiled up at me, "Hi Autumn."

When I didn't respond his smile fell.
He jumped up and walked over to me, until his nose was inches from mine.
He scrunched his eyebrows together, wrinkling up his nose.
He bit his lip, gently playing with the silver ring positioned there.

I started to turn away.
Before I could his arms snaked around my waist.
He pulled me into a hug.

Why couldn't he just leave?

And it seems that I've forgot how to smile
