Night of the hunter
Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark.
(Bailey's point of view)
(Actual story)
While unconscious, I had a dream, well a flashback. Back to my junior year at band camp. Where I first met my current boyfriend Austin, I got to see something I've been longing to see, his beautiful hazel eyes and his bleach blonde and brown hair. It was the night of the bonfire and we were sitting at the beach, they first time we were actually alone. I remember it like it was yesterday; he smelled of number one platinum and was wearing his dark blue WLP jacket. We sat down separated from everyone else legs extended looking up at the stars. The night sky looked so different up in Charlevoix, incredibly star filled and honest. The dream started with a bickering match about cologne, whether number one platinum or adidas dare smelled better. His vote was for number one platinum, mine for adidas dare. Turns out they smell identical.
"No, I win. I won. It's settled" he said
"You so did not!"
"Um how? You gave up. You lost"
"I paused, I didn't give up"
"Okay, so ill make you a deal. I'll win the little fights and ill let you win the big ones"
"I don't want you to let me win! Ill win by myself or lose with pride"
"Haha so your saying is your going to lose" he mocked "I want to lose!"
We'll just figure it out when it comes up."
"You bet we will"
A quick pause and then I caught him looking at me.
"What?" I said with a smile.
"Stop that"
"Stop what?"
"Being so fucking beautiful"
"Psh no"
"You are"
"Am not"
"are too! Okay here's Krista" puts hand lowly level to the ground. "Here's a hippo" raises hand "Now, you see that star right up there? That's you, you're beautiful"
I smiled and he grabbed my hand and kissed it. It was then that I realized that I loved him.
"Alright kids time to go back to your cabins" said one of the band moms.
It took us a while but finally we got up.
"I don't want you to leave" he said
"I don't want to go"
He pulled me in close and wrapped his arms around me. We stayed like that for a while as I buried my head in his neck wanting to stay in his arms forever. As we parted he leaned down and kissed me. We pulled away and went back to our cabins. As soon as I walked in the door I felt my phone buzz, it was a text from Austin
"I already can't wait to see you tomorrow"
"Aww, you're so sweet :D"
"Well you deserve it, plus it makes you smile which is fuckin adorable"
"This is defiantly making me smile"
"Good :D"
Soon, the dream ended and another started. Another memory, this time from a band movie night. It started right after the movie ended and Austin was at his car. He was talking to a mutual friend David and spotted me talking with some of my friends. He smiled and called me over. I had them come with me and walked over to his car. Being his normal self he jokingly leaned on the car like a super model would have, as I approached he said "Aren't I sexy?"
"Of yes, defiantly" I said while laughing
He stood up and gave me a hug. My favorite feeling in the world. Some of the dream continued as if it was on mute. Then suddenly the sound came back on.
"Austin I have to go my dads here"
"Aw okay"
We leaned in for another hug and I tried for a kiss
"Oh no, not today"
"What why?"
"Cause I wanna be a tease"
"No, not allowed" I said laughingly
He pulled me in for another hug.
"Now guess what I get to do"
"What?"
"Be a tease" he said with a huge grin
He rested his hands on my hips and looked into my eyes.
"Still doing that?"
"Doing what"
"Being beautiful"
One more hug and then I had to go.
Suddenly the memory changed. I saw myself as if I was watching a movie; I clenched my heart and fell down. Austin was no where to be found even though I was calling and calling his name.
