Wow, I am so sorry I have not updated in forever. I have had so much homework. And have been so busy. But it is now Labor Day weekend. I have homework, but I feel like writing instead. So I hope you enjoy this chapter.
I woke up to hear my alarm blaring. I smiled to myself, finally Friday. I got dressed in a mini skirt with black and white leggings. I put on a long sleeve shirt with a picture of a skull on it. I went downstairs, early for once.
"Breakfast?" my mom offered.
"Um, not hungry Mom," I said pushing away the food.
"Oh, okay. Well have a good day."
"Thanks bye!"
I went to the door pulling on my black combat boots and walked out the door. As always Drew was at the corner.
"Hey," I said coming up next to him.
"You finished your sketch yet? I'm dying to see it."
"Almost," I said smiling.
The bus came bumping down the road and we climbed on. For once in my life school seemed to zip by. The final bell rang as everyone rushed out of the classes, exited for the weekend. Drew, Emily, and Evan came to wait for the bus with me. When we were on the bus Emily spoke.
"So did you bring soda?" she asked Drew.
"Of course," he replied.
"And I brought all the snacks," Evan added.
"Good," Emily said to them.
The bus stopped as we all piled off. We walked the short distance to the park. Last year we started this thing that every Friday we would go to the park and watch the stars. It was the thing I looked forward to it every week. We got to the park and walked across to our favorite corner. No one really came here anymore so we were alone. Drew pulled out some sodas and handed everyone one. Evan took out some chips, and my favorite, sour gummy worms. We sat in a circle and placed the treats in front of us. We sat there for awhile just talking and laughing. Finally the sun started going down. We all walked to the swings where the view was perfect. There was a mix of oranges and pinks, reflecting off the suns rays. At this time it felt like everything was good, nothing ever bad happened.
"Doesn't it make you think that there is something out there worth living for?" I asked.
"Of course there is something its just a matter of finding it." Evan replied.
I began thinking of what I would do for that something or someone, if I ever found it. Would it mean dying for them, protecting them? Or was it something that you would always love and never leave. Something you can never duplicate, that you will never know a live without it. I must have been staring out in space because Emily started waving her hand in front of my face. It was now completely dark. We got up and walked to the corner. We lied down, heads together feet out. I stared up into the sky looking up at the stars. It was so beautiful. There were so many and in the heart of it all was the moon. I don't know how long we were there but Evan sighed and stood up.
"It's getting late I better leave," he said packing his things.
"Yeah," we all agreed getting up.
Drew and I were walking home when i just remembered that I had finished his drawing in school.
"Hey, meet me up in the balcony, okay?" I said to him.
He nodded in agreement as we came to our houses. I ran to my house and up the stairs. I grabbed the drawing and went to my balcony. I found Drew waiting for me on his roof. He patted the place next to him signaling me to come over. I hopped over my balcony and jumped the small gap between our houses. I sat down, pulling out the drawing.
"Promise not to laugh?" I asked.
"I wouldn't dream of it," he replied.
"Okay."
I handed him the picture as he flipped it over to look. His eyes widened as he looked at the picture. Oh no, he doesn't like it I thought.
"Wow, it's amazing," he breathed out.
I sighed out of relief.
"I'm glad you like it."
"You are amazing."
"Why thank you, your not so bad yourself."
Finally, he looked up from the picture. He looked me right in the eyes.
"Thank you," he said.
I was about to reply when he leaned in and kiss me. I widened my eyes in surprise but slowly shut them as I kissed him back. It seemed like forever when he finally pulled back.
"Wow," we said together.
