(Izzy's point of view)
I was running to who knows where, but I knew I was getting away from Trip and his perfect girlfriend. Or mainly to get away from my broken heart.
Dark clouds started to move in. It was going to rain soon. My phone started vibrating, but I didn't look at it. No I didn't wanna look at it. All I wanted to do right now was run.
Rain started to come down like the clouds were crying. It was exactly like what I was feeling. The drops started off light and soft, but then got heavier and rougher. I was getting soaked, but right know it felt good. My vision was starting to blur. I heard footsteps behind me. But I didn't look back. Whoever it was I didn't want to see right now. I felt a hand grab my wrist and jerk me back. Another hand grabbed my other wrist. The touch felt familiar but I chose to ignore it. I tried to struggle away from the person, but the hold they had on me only tightened. Finally I stopped and let the tears finally fall.
My knees started give out. I wait for my knees to hit the cold, wet cement, but it never happened. Instead I felt myself being picked up bridal style. I whimpered feeling scared. What is this world coming to? Me scared?
" Relax Izzy, it's me." Trip's voice said, though the roar of the wind.
"Trip?" I asked.
"Put me down now!" I said, after a moment of realization and rage hit me.
He had left me, got a girlfriend, and didn't even care.
"I would if thought you wouldn't bolt like a couple of minutes ago." He said quietly in my ear, still holding me in his arms.
He then set me down gently, but kept his arms around my waist. He started to walk forward making my feet have a stumbling start.
"What do you think you're doing?" I shouted at him, because right now I didn't think my emotions could handle any physical contact yet. I'm surprised I lasted in that last hug he gave me a couple of minutes ago.
"Getting us out of this rain, and taking us some place where we can talk privately." He said calmly, behind me.
"NO!" I screamed, then started to struggle to get out of his grip again.
I was afraid, no point in denying it. I was afraid that if I talked to him I would blurt out my feelings for him and with my emotions the way the are I don't need his pity or his rejection right now.
"Stop, Izzy you're not going to get out of this, we're going to talk. Whether you like it or not." He said firmly, while tightening his hold on me.
I was silent the rest of the way there.
I closed my eyes after a while and leaned my head on to his shoulder. This was nice not screaming or shouting just enjoying each others company. The way it was before all of this started.
"Izzy, we're here." Trip said as we stop suddenly.
I open my eyes to see that we're back at the park, standing before the old tree house. I look at him one more time to see a look that said we wasn't going to let me out of this. I was going to go up that tree whether I wanted to or not. With a sigh I started to climb the tree.
I sat down in Trip's lap because there wasn't any room in there for two sixteen year olds. "Why did you run off?" He asked me, getting right to the point.
"Because, she didn't like me." I answered his question.
"How'd you know?" He asked me.
"Nasty look." I shrugged.
"But still, why'd you run?" He brushed some of my bangs away from my eyes.
See? He does things like this to make me like him. So it's really his fault I love him.
"She replaced me." I said, shaking my head putting my bangs back into place.
"No one could replace you Iz." He said softly.
I rolled my eyes in response. He grabbed my chin forcing me to look at him.
"I mean it." He said seriously.
And that's where it went both wrong and right. I couldn't help myself I leaned in and kissed him. I was about to pull away, when he put he hands on my waist and started to kiss back. I losing myself bit by bit in that kiss, like the world was melting away. No I was melting away, but a nagging voice in my head stopped me.
He was a girlfriend Izzy!
I jerked myself away from him missing his lips and warmth immediately.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly, looking confused.
Probably because I was the one who kissed him first.
"Girlfriend." I said, pointing to him.
"See, this is what you miss when you run away. I broke up with her after she said she wanted me to stop being friends with you. Plus she was just plain mean and I like someone else." Trip said, pulling me against his chest.
Then the whole kissing thing started again only more heated. I moaned pulling back a little, sliding my hands up and down his chest. His right hand went up to my hair. I moaned again and that's when oxygen became a problem.
"Izzy, do you like me more then friends?" He asked me, after we pulled away.
I was still recovering from the kiss so I just nodded.
"Then I have to ask. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.
I nodded again, and then we started to make out again. Every thing was perfect.
