Author's Note: My first story in a really long time. This is more therapeutic for me than anything, as a coping method for a bad breakup. I may change some of the stories to make them shorter or longer as they come, but for the most part these are musical drabbles. If you notice any errors, grammatical or factual, please let me know so I can make the corrections for you deserving readers :) Thanks for reading!
Song: Adventure of a Lifetime, by Coldplay
She tugged him by the hand as they ran under the sprinklers on the lawn by the Administration building. Classic Hollywood movie love scene, she knew, but it was a classic for a reason.
"You better keep up because I'm not leaving you behind!" she exclaimed, giggling as the nearest sprinkler caught the back of her neck with droplets of cold water.
"Please remind me why in God's name we're doing this?" his eyes wild as he tried to zig zag away from the water and keep his grip on her at the same time.
"Pfff ask yourself why not instead!" she laughed, purposefully moving closer to a sprinkler on her right, her long black hair trailing behind her, contrasting with her white long-sleeved blouse.
"I can think of ten reasons – ah!" he shouted as a sudden wave covered him in droplets of cold water. He blinked his eyes and tried to wipe his face off when he suddenly felt the ground beneath him taken away and his chest hit the wet grass. He heard her cry out as she fell in front of him, her hand letting go of his hand. He lifted his head from the grass to see her stand up just as suddenly and start waving her arms and running straight for the nearest sprinkler.
"What are you doing!" he shouted at her, standing on his feet quickly and giving chase.
"I lied! I'm leaving you behind!" she called back, twirling and letting wave after wave of droplets hit her as she ran into each sprinkler.
"God dammit," he mumbled under his breath as he ran after her, the fear of being left behind scaring him more than reasonable. Though he couldn't deny, his heart beating in his chest as he ran just slightly towards the nearest sprinkler, that he hadn't felt so alive in a very long time.
