Branch POV:
I began to wake up from my nose being tickled by from hair. When I opened my eyes, me and Poppy were snuggled next to each other. She was snuggled on my chest, and her hair was in my face. I was hugging her like, and she had her arm around me. I kinda liked it to be honest. It was only 5:39, so she will be out for another hour or so. My bedroom door swung opened, to see the whole gang, staring at us. "I think we should come back later...." Biggie suggested holding Mr. Dinkcles. "Guys please don't tell her about this. "Mouths zipped." Cooper said with a chuckle. Poppy began to wake up, and everyone quietly gasped. "Shushhhhh... go back to sleep Poppy...." I rocked her back to sleep like a baby. "Mama...." She whispered. What is she talking about? Does she think I'm her mother? "Can I talk to guys later?" I told the gang. They nodded and walked out of the room. I touched her nose, and played with her hair. I slowly got up, carefully put her down, and tucked her in. I made us some leaf tea, and blueberry muffins. I slowly watched the sun rising from the ground. It reminded me of the morning I was with my grandma.... I began to tear up. "Branch..?" Poppy rubbed one of her eyes. I turned to see a tired Poppy. "Branch is everything ok?" She asked worriedly, so I guess she saw my tears. "Yea Poppy I'm I'm fine." I sat down at my table, looking at the big glass window, seeing the sun rise. It was cold next to the window because it was about 30-35 degrees out. "Something wrong. Can you please tell me Branch?" Poppy was asking, while pulling up a chair next to me. "Wow beautiful sun rise." She tried to talk small conversation with me or any conversation. Poppy then leaned her head on my shoulder. Now she REALLY wanted to talk to me. "Just the same morning that was like this was me with my grandma." I looked down. "Branch... I know it's hard... but I'll be here by your side... I'm your best friend." I was just friend zoned wasn't I? "Thanks..... I wanted to ask you...you called my Mama when I was tucking you in bed." I lied. "Oh yea.. I had a dream that my mother was rocking me.." She began to tear. "And I never met my mother... I'm sorry I didn't want to like this." She cried into my chest. I looked outside the window, and began to sing.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Once we were done singing, we looked into each other's eyes, and got closer to each other. Our faces were inches apart, and we were about to kiss until... she stopped and turned away.

Did I do something?

Hope ye liked! Sorry for short chapters.

Bye! Bye!
