there's this song that i really love right now. said song perfectly captures my feelings and it gives me the chills every time i listen to it. did i mention how gorgeous it is?
somewhere from west side story (specifically from the movie version) is that song. nate recently got into some trouble with the law and my parents don't want me around him anymore. "hold my hand and i'll take you there somehow, someday, somewhere."

michael was even more careful and protective of me once i told him my partial story. if we were in public, he would hold my hand or hold me close to him. as the days went on, there were more reports on me. when we both saw one, we would quickly look away and pretend that we never saw it.
to say that I had a slight crush on michael was a complete understatement. when he doesn't look at me, i'd gawk at how perfect he is. everything about him compelled me. "where are we going?" I asked him.
"somewhere where nobody would ever dare hurt us," michael smiled.
"anyone could hurt you anywhere," i frankly said.
"that's true, but i'm taking you somewhere special," he smiled even wider.
"hints? i don't like surprises, mikey," i whined.
he chuckled, "it's fun!"
"disney world?" i asked him.
"nah, can't afford that."
"well, are we almost there?" i pouted.
"yes, darling," michael sent shivers down my spine. we walked a few more blocks and i smelt fish and salt. michael had taken me to the pier. from my 19 years of living, i had never been near a beach. "you look so shocked, is this your first time on a pier?" michael smiled.
"i have only been to disney world and some parts of orlando and New York," i stopped and looked at the fish in the translucent water. "this is perfect, thanks mikey."
"you're welcome, mel," he smiled. i turned towards him and smiled back at him. he leaned over and kissed me. obviously, i was taken back from the sudden affection, but i realized why he did it and i kissed him back. he brushed some stray away hairs from my face when he pulled back. "that was a mistake, mel."
"no, it wasn't."
