After lunch was over, we all went back to Stanley's house. Since everyone except Zero and myself lived out of town, all of the guys were bunking at Stanley's house and Stanley's mom and I were bunking at Zero's house with Zero's mom. I wasn't entirely okay with the idea, but oh well.

Stanley's parents were still gone when we got back so we all decided to watch a movie. [How about Holes?? Ha ha!]

Zero put in some popcorn and the other guys unrolled their sleeping bags.

We voted on a movie and Pirates of the Caribbean won. (We picked out of a hat, and that was my choice so I didn't complain.)

I popped the movie in and took my "watching a movie" position next to Stanley on the couch. His arm around me with no space between us and my head on that soft spot just under his collarbone next to his shoulder.

'And he asks why I watch so many movies with him,' I thought as the movie started, with a smug look on my face.

All too soon, the parents arrived and I had to go to Zero's house. Stanley's mom picked up her stuff and my bag.

"Come on, Deyna. When we get there, we can talk about men in general." I smirked.

"The world's shortest conversation." I got my sleeping bag and stopped at the back doors to say goodnight to Stanley. He put his hands on my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck.

"Goodnight." I brushed my lips on his and he deepened the kiss. Soon, we were making out, [Whatever that is.] which was not what I intended.

"Golly! You'd think that they were going to be apart for 12 years, instead of just one night." All the kids laughed and all the adults sighed.

"I'm going to have grandbabies before you know it! [Heh, my mom says this.]" Stanley's mom stood in the doorway with tears coming from her eyes. I gave Stanley a "your mom is so weird" look and left with her.

Zero's mom already had stuff ready for us so we set up our sleeping bags.

"Do you have any twos? Deyna?" Zero's mom snapped in my face.

"Oh, sorry. Go fish." I was day dreaming again and failed to notice the two in my hand. Stanley's mom looked at her watch. It was almost midnight.

"I think that it's time for bed now." She got comfy on her cot while I put up my Lord of the Rings cards back up.

"Goodnight ladies," Zero's mom said as she stretched out on the padded floor. Raindrops started to fall as my eyelids drooped and shut. A few minutes later, my dreams started.

Stanley and I walk through a park. It is spring and there are birds. The sound of a gun is heard and Stanley falls down dead.

Thunder woke me from my nightmare. Tears streamed from my face as I fought my blankets off and ran out of the house. The distance between the two houses was not long but it was still raining. The back doors were locked when I reached them so I banged my fists on them.

"Stanley!" I shouted above the storm. Stanley lay on the couch with one leg hanging off. His eyes opened from my noise and he got up fast when he saw me. He unlocked the doors and I shoved one of them open.

"Stanley, please don't leave me." I grabbed him, even though I was sopping wet and cried again.

He kissed my head and put his arms around me. Stanley's dad walked over to us after he woke up.

"Stanley, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, dad." He stroked my hair as I controlled my sobs.

Soon, the whole house was awake.
