My Love

Date: 11/27/2016

I dreamt that me, my friend Elijah, and my best Jordan, who I'm secretly in love with and who's secretly in love with Elijah, all shared a room in this dingy house. Every other student was there, doing the same thing. So we shared a room, and, to my utter amazement, Elijah, who has a girlfriend and is in love with her, asked Jordan to shower with him. As in, nakedly. So, of course, Jordan was on top of the world. The next day, I asked Elijah why he did it, and he said he didn't know. I told him that he needed to tell Jordan that he wasn't into her and stop leading her on. He agreed, and, that night, he brought Jordan into his room and broke the news. Jordan ran out sobbing her eyes out, and I stood there in the middle of the beds with my arms opened wide, waiting for her. She collapsed into my arms, and sobbed on my shoulder. I rubbed her back and hair and whispered soothing things into her ear. I gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead. When her sobbing had finally slowed, I helped her into bed and had her curl up against me so that my body was placed in a position to comfort her, if need be. When we woke up, I helped her out. I made her eat and when we had to leave the room, I either held her hand or put my arm around her shoulders as we walked. I gave her a hug at the end of the day, and went home with her to sleep with her in her bed again. Slowly, we fell in love.
