" So, where are we going?" Harrison asked following McKenzie through
the night.
" I don't know. I'm just walking. Where would you like to go?" McKenzie asked.
" Somewhere quiet." Harrison said smiling into the dark, hoping McKenzie didn't see his face.
" It's quiet everywhere." McKenzie challenged.
"Right, well.do you have a favorite spot here?" Harrison asked kicking rocks as he walked.
" There is this old bridge. My mom and your dad used to go there all the time." McKenzie said softly staring into the moonlight.
Harrison just starred at her. The way the moonlight hit her face and hair made her seem to glow.
"Sure, that sounds great." Harrison said averting his eyes forward as she moved from the moonlight.
" Okay, just follow me." McKenzie stated heading off towards the woods.
" I am, trust me." Harrison said smirking.
A few minutes later they arrived at the beloved bridge. So many memories were held there, and the quietness only added to its enchantment.
" This is it." McKenzie said gazing at the bridge she'd come to love.
" Wow, it's beautiful here." Harrison said sitting down on the bridge and dangling his legs over the water.
" Yeah, it is." McKenzie said sitting next to him.
" So, do you have a lot of friends here?" Harrison asked.
" Not really. I don't talk much to people I don't know. Besides, most of the teens here are too what's the word.um.pathetic. They don't seem to care about things that really seem to matter. Popularity and joy rides are pretty much the highlights of their lives." McKenzie said trying to express her words gently.
" Ahh I understand. My dad and I live in Boston. The kids there are pretty much the same, if not worse. I only have one true friend there, her name is Yvette." Harrison said throwing a rock across the water.
" Oh, that must be nice." McKenzie said, trying to hide the tinge of jealousy that resulted from hearing of Harrison's best friend being a girl.
" Yeah, she's cool. So, do you have a boyfriend?" Harrison asked, hoping in a way that she said no.
" No, I don't. I used to go out with this guy named Ben, but that didn't work out at all." McKenzie answered. " What about you? Do you have a someone special?"
" Um." Harrison started, while McKenzie immediately began to shrink inside at the thought of him being taken. " I kind of do. It's weird to explain. It's actually Yvette. We'd been friends forever and just recently we started dating. I don't know though, it doesn't seem true to me though."
" Oh." McKenzie said. " You know, I think I'd better go home now. Are you staying at the Inn?"
" Yeah." Harrison started to say, noticing something was bothering her.
" Okay, then bye." McKenzie said walking off. ' He's taken.' She thought, ' oh well.' She said as a tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly brushed it away, ' Don't cry over him, there was nothing there to cry about anyways.' She said sadly as she walked off into the pale moonlight.
" I don't know. I'm just walking. Where would you like to go?" McKenzie asked.
" Somewhere quiet." Harrison said smiling into the dark, hoping McKenzie didn't see his face.
" It's quiet everywhere." McKenzie challenged.
