"Get out of my house you little bitch!" My mom yelled as she firmly pushed me out the door and on to my front step. She was just drunk. She pushed me out of the house all the time when she was drunk. I knew she didn't think straight when she drank so I learned to just forgive and forget. It was a lot easier to let it go then to hate my parents for the rest of my life. I knew it wasn't that easy to just forget or to even forgive but I tried my hardest. I love my parents even though they aren't the best in the world. They give me a place to live, well most of the time. They also give me food to eat and clothes to wear. I know they go through a lot so I try my hardest to be the best kid I can be for them.
I turned and slowly began to walk down the street and to the park where I usually went when I was thrown out. It was late and very dark outside. There was also a cool breeze since it was Fall. The ground was covered with orange and yellow leaves that were hard to see at this time of night except for under the street lights that were evenly lined up and down the streets. I shivered slightly as the wind blew through my hair. I didn't have a jacket on since I didn't have time to grab one before being pushed out into the night. All I had on was a pair of light slightly ripped blue jeans and a tight black shirt. I kicked a rock as I reached the park.
I saw that there was a young boy around my age maybe a little older walking in the park as well. I saw him around once in a while. Sometimes at the park other times at the empty lot. I never went to the lot. I would walk past it but I would never actually go into it. It had always scared me, I don't know why but it always gave me the creeps to just walk past. The boy had a small build and had jet black hair and dark eyes from what I could see. Tonight he was wearing a white t-shirt and dark blue jeans. He was shivering even though he had been wearing a blue jean jacket. I had always wondered why he was always walking around alone outside. It was almost mid-night now and I couldn't even guess why he was out so late. I saw him a few times during the day before. He was really cute. When I did see him though he was always with a big group of guys. He seemed kind of closed off from them though almost as if he was uncomfortable around them, but they seemed to be his friends. I wanted to talk to him and maybe find out why he was out so late but I don't know if I would be brave enough. I had enough trouble talking to guys let alone one I didn't know.
"Hey." Was all I managed to choke up. I he looked up from the ground quickly. I guess he hadn't noticed I was there.
"H..I…" he stammered quietly. He seem just as nervous as I was. I walked closer to him and smiled slightly to make him feel a little safer.
"I'm Savanna." I introduced hoping he would tell me his name back.
"I…I'm…Johnny." He said even quieter than before.
"So…umm… how old are you Johnny?" I asked trying to make a conversation so I could find out why he was out alone.
"Sixteen." He answered quickly as to get it over with or something.
"Aw that's cool I'm only fourteen but I'll be fifteen in like a week." I answered trying to lighten up the whole night. He just nodded and looked back down at the ground. The wind blew again but this time it was faster.
"What are you doing out this late?" I asked figuring it was now or never.
"What?" He said looking up again, "Oh I was just going for a walk." He answered. I knew he was lying but like I do everything else I let it go.
"Why are you out here?" He asked. Wow I didn't expect him to ask me back. Why didn't I expect him to ask me back? What do I do? I don't want to tell him about my home life I mean I don't really have a home life. All I did was listen to my parents fight or have my parents yell or hit me.
"Well…I was going for a walk too." I said with a sly smile. If he could use that lie so could I. He gave me a smile back that let me know that he knew I was lying but if he didn't tell I didn't have to either.
"Well since we're both walking do you want to walk together?" I asked. Johnny was really cute! I couldn't help but wonder if he was ok with going out with younger girls.
"Sure." He said quietly. He still seemed a little unsure about me. It was freezing outside and I wished more than anything that I had a sweater or something.
"So are you going to tell me why your really walking outside late at night alone?" I asked. I'm not nosey I just really wanted to know.
"Are you?" He asked with a half smile. I shook my head with a smile.
"Then I guess you got your answer." He said with a smile.
"Fine be that way." I said with a smile. He seemed pretty nice. I lightly kicked a can as we left the park. It made a slight clinging noise that made Johnny jump a little.
"So you live around here?" I asked looking up at the stars. They were so beautiful tonight and seemed so close I could almost touch them.
"Yeah I live down the street." he said pointing down the road.
"Oh I live down there." I said pointing in the opposite direction. He gave a small smile and yet again looked back down at the ground.
"You know there's really nothing that interesting down there." I said. He laughed slightly and looked up at me.
"Do you want me to walk you home its getting really cold outside." He asked. I thought about it for a minute. What if my parents were still awake? Or even fighting what would he think. And I would probably get beat pretty bad if I came home especially with a boy.
"Ah…no that's ok I think I'm going to stay out for a while longer." I said looking down at the ground.
"You know there's nothing interesting down there." he said with a smile.
"Well are you going home?" I asked hoping the answer would be a no. I was used to being alone but it was nice to have someone to talk to.
"Nah I think I'll stay out for a while too." he said directing us to the lot.
"We're not going to go into the lot are we?" I asked. Like I said I was scared of the lot.
"Yeah…well I am but you can come too." He said.
"Umm no that's ok." I said turning to walk in the other direction.
"Why?" Johnny asked from behind me.
"I just don't want to go into the lot that's all." I said. I didn't really want to tell him why though.
"Well why don't you want to go into the lot?" He asked. Shit that kid asks to many questions for being that quiet.
"Cause I'm scared of it ok." I said getting a little annoyed.
"Why its not scary and I'll be with you." he said. I nodded and fallowed him into the lot. It wasn't that bad I mean just an empty lot there's nothing to be scared of. Johnny walked over and sat down on an old car seat. I sat down next to him and put my head on his shoulder. I don't care if he barley knows me I was tired.
"I'm gonna sleep out here tonight do you want me to walk you home?" He asked again.
"Why would you want to sleep out here its freezing!" I said shivering.
"Because its better than going home." He said.
"Well then can I stay here with you, I don't want to go home either." I said. He nodded and draped his jean jacket over my shoulders.
We talked for hours after that. We talked about everything. We even talked about our home life. I found out that he had the same kind as me if not a little worse maybe. It was kind of nice though to have someone to talk about it with that knows what your going through. We talked until it started to become daylight and then we drifted off into a sleep.
