Yeah this is short, but hopefully you'll think, "Short but sweet!" as you read this.
Claire Lyons threw away another tissue and sniffled. Her mother had just banned her from seeing Cam because ever since she had been going out with him, her grades have dropped. Claire tried to explain that it was because math and science were harder this year, but her mom wouldn't hear of it. She remembered how heartbroken Cam was when she told him. At the memory, Claire started crying again.
Claire was starting to calm down when she heard a ding! come from her cell phone. She quickly read the message.
Cam: how r u?
Claire: can't talk 2 u, sorry
Cam: Do u still love me?
Claire: Yes.
Cam: then meet me at midnight at the local park. Ok?
Claire: hmmm…. Ok
He didn't reply.
At ten Claire pretended to go to bed. At eleven Todd went to bed. Thirty past she heard the flick of the light switch, and that meant her parents' lights were out.
Sixteen-year-old Claire climbed out the window of her room, and tore across Massie Block's lawn. She felt giddy. Free. Light. Happy.
She got on her bike and rode through the dark, starry night, not caring about anything anymore. She was going to see Cam.
When she got there, Claire rested her bike against a tree and wondered if anyone else had ever done the same thing as she. Sneak out, meet at the park, and rest their bikes on this tree.
"Claire?" the word breezed over the grass, slithered around the trees, and slipped into Claire's ears. "Is that you?"
"Cam?" Claire said blindly into the night.
Then she spotted him.
Cam, standing there, his green and blue eye reflecting off the limited moonlight, made Claire remember how much she missed him.
The forbidden lovers ran into each other's arms. Claire wrapped her arms around Cam, happy to see him again.
Cam pulled away and took Claire's hand. "Remember, when you leave, and you're feeling lonely, look at the space between your fingers and remember that's where mine fit perfectly." He pulled her in for a kiss.
Two days later, Claire looked at the spaces between her fingers and knew that's where Cam's fingers fit perfectly.
