3 Years Before The Apocalyps
In a small county like this, drinking beer with your people out by the lake with loud country music cranked up in your four-wheelers is the thing to do. The only damn thing that is the least bit of fun around here. I tend to make it an every night kinda thing.
I may not be a teenager no more...but that don't mean I don't party like one.
The teens use to chill at this place, hell, I chilled at this place when I was that age.
We kicked them damn kids outta here a long time ago, told them that this here is our spot. That they should just go hang out at the county fair grounds or the icecream shop.
"Daryl! Where's that brother of yours?" My bud Tommy yelled down at me and him and his date were sitting on a thick branch of the oak tree where my truck was parked under.
"He aint got nothin' to do with a bunch of fuckers in their early to mid twenties Tom!" My date, Sarah, yelled up at him. "He's too busy hanging out with with them middle aged at the crack house."
That girl earned a shove from me, causing her to fall out of the bed of my truck.
A jeep pulled up, headlights shining brightly in my god damn eyes.
Had to be Billy.
Billy is my high school friend. Been friends ever since Freshman year when we both let all of the frogs in Biology go out the window.
"Hey ya'll, I brought a few new friends." He smiled cheesily. I could hear giggles in the back of his jeep.
Two attractive Asian girls, TWINS to be exact, hopped out of his jeep. Tall, skinny, firm legs, long black hair, booty shorts, belly shirts, belly rings.
Pretty hot for chinks.
"This here is Gaby and Ganesa, they are from Atlanta."
"Then why the fuck would you come to this shitty ass town?" I bluntly asked.
"Just passing through until our car broke down." One of the twins (Gaby?) said. "Stuck here until it gets fixed"
I could see Billy standing behind them mouthing out "TWINS!"
He knows I don't really care for this Sarah girl that much, I just take her places cause she's a good lay.
The back door to Billy's jeep opened and we all looked up to see a boy, about 18 maybe, step out of the vehicle. The kid was Asian as well and was wearing baggy jeans, a baseball cap, and a plain white t-shirt.
"This is Glenn, their younger brother." Billy said, interupting the silence.
Normally, me being the asshole I am, I would of made some smart remark right now, but I couldn't find the words to say. I wanted badly to make fun of the kid. Fucking chink. But I couldn't. I sure as hell couldn't keep my eye off of him. He gave us all a shy smile and then glued his eyes to the ground.
"He's shy", The other squinty eyed twin said.
The kid looked up and locked his eyes on mine. You could see the moonlight reflect into his pupils.
Boy I know I don't know you
But your pretty little eyes so blue(yes I know his eyes are actually brown)
Are pulling me in.
Like the moon on your skin.
A few hours of drinking, and everyone was a bit out of their minds. Even our new "friends".
The twins each sat on Billy's lap. Laughing as he told old foolish stories about when he was in high school and all the shit me and him use to get in.
Tommy and his gal were taking a swim in the lake.
Sarah, still pissed from me pushing her outta my truck, sat along the edge of the lake, laughing at Tommy and his girl.
I leaned up against my truck, turning up the music volume up more. Glenn, had been following me around all night. There was no one else for him to really talk to I guess. Everyone was either paired up or pissed off. Cough cough SARAH.
"What do ya do?" I asked the kid, trying to make conversation.
He laughed in the middle of taking a swig of his beer and put his head down.
"I uh...deliver pizzas." He looked up at me and smiled. We both busted out into laughter.
"I think ya need a college degree for that kid." I joked. "How old are ya?"
"Nineteen, just graduated last May." He answered. "You?"
I took another drink of my beer and looked at him. "Wouldn't ya like to know."
"C'mon, Twenty-three? Twenty-four?"
"Twenty-six"
"Damn...I mean, that's not so bad." He tried to cover up.
"Yeah, nice save." I answered.
"And here comes Luke Bryan with Shake It For Me" The DJ on the radio said.
The kid smiled and began moving his head and hips along with the song.
"Ya like this song?" I asked.
"Sure." He said and handed me his drink. He got real ballsy to get up in the bed of my truck and stand up. He snatched his beer out of my hand and began dancing around.
Now, even though the damn song is about a buncha redneck whores shaking their asses, he seemed to of danced better to it than any girl ever would be able to.
"Oh no!" Genesa laughed. "You know our little brother has had too much to drink when he starts dancing!"
"YEAH! GLENNY!" Gabby yelled, rocking her hips on Billy's lap, earning a smile from him.
Everyone started laughing and clapping
I couldn't help but laugh too. The kid was drunk out of his mind and didn't give a shit about what he was doing at this moment. I watched him dance to that entire song. It's as if he was moving in slow motion. The way his body moved with the song.
At the very end he lost his balance and fell back in the truck. I freaked out for a second and hopped in. I was prepared for him to be rolled over in pain but instead he was rolling over in a fit of laughter.
"You okay?" I asked.
He looked up at me and smiled.
I didn't know what was coming over me. Why I was so interested in this kid and why I wished everyone else wasn't here and it was just us at this lake.
"Do you wanna get out of here?" I asked.
I'm go glad you trusted me.
To slide up on this dusty seat.
And let your hair down.
Get out of town.
"WAIT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH MY BROTHER?" The twins both yelled/laughed as Glenn and I hopped into my old truck. This old truck however has come good qualities. I let the roof slide down.
Got the stars coming out over my hood.
And all I know now is it's going good.
You got your hands up.
You're rockin' in my truck.
You got the radio on.
You're singing every song.
I'm set on cruise control.
I'm slowly losing hope.
Of everything I got.
You're looking so damn hot.
Standing up in my truck, moving his hips along with the music, screaming out to the night sky, me speeding like a demond.
He plopped back into the seat.
"WHERE ARE WE GOING?" He yelled over the loud music and the roaring sound of the wind.
"I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS!" I yelled back. He giggled and crawled closer to me.
And I don't know what road we're on.
Or where we've been.
From staring at you, boy.
All I know is I don't want this night to end.
"What are we gonna do?" He whispered into my ear.
My heart beat got faster and he got closer. I don't know what is happening to me, but man, I fucking love it.
As if he could read me mind he leaned even closer to where his lips were pressing up against my earlobe.
"Do you like it when I'm this close to you?" He whispered.
I slammed on the breaks when I spotted a pond. The kid would of gone flying if my arm didn't latch around his small frame. I began driving and slowly approached the pond.
"I know what I wanna do now." I said. Glenn looked at me confused. I stuck my tongue out and hopped out of my truck. He sat still in the passanger's seat, staring at me with a puppy like expression on his face.
I ran over to the passanger's side and yanked open the door. He squeeled when I lifted him up over my shoulder and charged towards the pond.
Gonna cuss the morning when it comes.
Cause I know that the rising sun.
Aint no good for me.
Cause you'll have to leave.
Between the splashing, and laughing, there was kissing, and groping. I stood up in the water. It went up just above my belly button. The kid was much shorter than me. He had his legs wrapped around my waist to help him measure up to me. He wrapped his arms around my neck and deepened the kiss.
Gonna make the most of every mile.
Do anything to make your smile.
Land on my lips.
Get drunk on your kiss.
"Get you're ass back in that truck." I said as I tapped him on the ass with my hand. We were drying our selfs off.
He did as he was told.
Clock on the dash says 3:35
There's plenty of gas and the night's still alive.
You got your hands up.
You're rockin' in my truck.
You got the radio on.
You're singing every song.
I'm set on cruise control.
I'm slowly losing hope.
Of everything I got.
You're looking so damn hot.
And I don't know what road we're on.
Or where we've been.
From staring at you, boy.
All I know is I don't want this night to end.
We ended up at an old barn. There wasn't much at first, until we found stairs and ran up them to find a little set up basketball court.
A few minutes of that until we bumped into eachother and landed on our asses. Well, me on my ass, his ass on me. He rolled over so he was laying next to me, wrapping his leg around me and laying his arm across my chest.
"I know I don't know you...but you're amazing." He whispered.
I looked over at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Really? I've been called a lot of things but never amazin'."
He shook his head.
"People don't see what I see you in you then." He said.
"And what do you see?"
He stroked my face with just his pointer finger.
"Someone...who puts up an act...and tries to act like he doesn't give a fuck. But really, he just wants someone to love and for someone to love him."
My heart stopped. How could this sweet innocent kid think such things about me? He doesn't know where I've been, the things I've done, the sins I've commited.
He leaned over to where our lips were brushing eachother's.
"I could be that person." He whispered.
"No."
"Why not?"
"...you'll leave."
He sat up and gave me a confused look. I sighed.
"Everyone has left. Everyone always leaves." I explained.
He smiled and straddled me.
"I won't."
"You live in Atlanta."
"That car isn't getting fixed anytime soon."
He leaned down and kissed me. Then sat back up.
"But..."
He cut me off again with another kiss.
"I'm not going anywhere."
You got your hands up.
You're rockin' in my truck.
You got the radio on.
You're singing every song.
I'm set on cruise control.
I'm slowly losing hope.
Of everything I got.
You're looking so damn hot.
And I don't know what road we're on.
Or where we've been.
From staring at you, boy.
All I know is I don't want this night to end.
I found a blanket and lay it across a huge hay pile. I picked up Glenn bridal style and he giggled as I carried him over to the hay. I gently lay him down and lay next to him. He snuggled his face into the crook of my neck. I wrapped my arms around his entire body and brought him as close as possible. He look up at me and puckered his lips. I laughed and leaned down and softly pecked his lips.
"I'm happy that this is the face I'm gonna be wakin' up to in the mornin'." I whispered and kissed his forehead.
He sighed and snuggled into my neck once more. Last thing I remember before falling asleep was feeling warm breath on my neck.
All I know is I don't want this night to end.
Glenn's P.O.V
I woke up at dawn. The sun was just barely rising over the horizon. I sat up, not quite remembering why I was exactly laying on a haystack. I looked down and saw...him.
Daryl.
And every memory of last night came flashing through my memory.
The dancing, the riding around, the swimming, the kissing, the basketball.
I haven't felt that happy in a long time. I wasn't expecting that my sisters would of dragged me into going out by a lake and drinking with a bunch of hicks. When I did find out I was more than regretting it. A few drinks got into me though and I loosened up. And there was this guy...no...this man that I was so interested in that I couldn't help but follow him around. He took me. He took me out for the night of my life in his old beat up truck. And we ended up here and I told him how I felt about him and everything I said was true.
He wants someone to love him.
But knowing how fucked up of a person I am and how I could ruin this.
I can't.
Even though I told him I would...I can't be that person.
I stroked his face and gave him one last kiss,
I stood up and fought back the tears that were threatening to pour out of my eyes.
I took off my baseball cap and set it beside him.
I don't want this night to end.
No One's P.O.V
Needless to say, the rest of that morning...Daryl sat looking out amongst the fields with hurt written all over his face, with a baseball cap held tightly in his hands.
The twins and Glenn weren't anywhere to be found in the morning. The repair man had told Billy that they had fixed the car early in the morning and took off...with Glenn.
Daryl swore that day that he would never see that kid again. That kid who broke his promise. That him leaving was the best that could happen because getting attatched to someone never works out.
Daryl would never see that kid again...that is...until 3 years later...when the world went to shit.
So...it was gonna be a one-shot...but...does anyone think I should continue?
