Chapter 4

Luka's POV

Lexi's hand molds perfectly with mine as we wander up the stairs. At least ten flights stands before us still, but it doesn't phase us. I had told her I wanted to show her the view from the roof, witch isn't a complete lie.

"I have my music," she says, "We could listen when we get to the top." As we continue up the stairs, she begins mumbling under her breath.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Wha-?" Lexi snaps back to reality. "Sorry I'm kind of.. Immersed in my thoughts." we stand in silence for a moment, before she continues. "I-i have something I want to tell you..."

"Me too." I say, hesitating just the slightest bit.

"We'll say it at the same time, okay?" she says innocently. "Three... Two... One..."

"I love you!" We blurt simultaneously.

Lexi's POV

Our lips lock once again, not paying any attention to the other people in the stairway. I enjoy this brief moment, then pull away.

"Come on," I say, grinning. "We'll have more time at the top." I take off, leaving Luka behind. I hear her laughing, then the clatter of her shoes over concrete stairs.

"Damn, you're fast!" Luka's voice chimes from behind me. "Why are you in such a rush?"

I yank my phone from my pocket and toss it from hand to hand as I say, "I've been getting even more messages all night. I don't want to deal with this anymore." Strolling to the fence at the edge of the roof, I mutter, just loud enough for Luka to hear: "Let's spit at them with all our might."

I don't know what's taken over me, but I don't mind it. I feel raw, wild almost. I pull out my iPod and blast World's end Dancehall on the speaker. Extending my hand, I ask Luka, "Shall we dance?"

Luka's POV

A flurry of emotions rushes through my body, electrifying me. Lexi takes my hand and we dance, a frantic, jolting dance. We begin singing at the top of our lungs. Hair is flying everywhere, and I realize Lexi is crying. I stop, embracing her, and say, "Do you want to end this world?"
