Forever Today (ON HOLD TILL MAY'15 ^.^)

Chapter Four

I exchanged numbers with Julia and then trailed off behind Troy. Okay so maybe I am a pile-on but hey! So I stalked the sexy-mysterious guy. It had been 10 minutes till now and he still hadn't stopped. But I'm not complaining! The scenary was beautiful. Plus the fact that I felt like James Bond. Okay...maybe not the best way to put it. 

Finally Troy stopped in front of...a magnificant view. It was breath-taking. There was a huge lake and trees all around it. I couldn't help but gaze at the view with my eyes wide open and my jaw dropping to the floor. I never knew that a place like this could exist for real. It was so...so, nice.

Troy sat down on one of the elevated big rocks and took out his guitar. He started strumming melodiouly and then closed his eyes. He started by humming a tune and then went into the full swing performance:

"I wish life was easier,

Storm comes and storm goes

I know daylight has to come 

But when is the question

Time stands still now

While I stand alone

These scary moments feel like

They are never gonna go "

The song was short but it held so much meaning, so much passion in it that I couldn't help but close my eyes and feel the air gently carassing by face. I don't know why but now I felt so much closer to Troy. It felt like I now understood him. 

"You really think you're that subte, stalker." I heard Troy say while his gaze remained fixated on the lake. It is after a moment or two I realised that he was talking to me. I was hiding behind a tree and I came out. 

"You know?" I asked timidly. I was surprised to hear the tone of my voice. That is not my usual tone.

"Yeah." He looked up at me and gave me a sad smile. 

I came and sat down beside him. 

"It's beautiful." I said after sometime.

Troy looked at me, "I know." He knew what I was talking about.

We both didn't speak for about an hour after that and kept staring at the gorgous scene in front of us. 

***

It was 5 already and I was still in no mood to leave. This moment was too precious to let go.

"It's getting late." I finally said since I knew I had to leave.

Troy didn't speak for a moment.

"I guess I'll have drop you?" He tried to put on a mocking tone though we both knew that his tone couldn't betray his heart or mind.

I anyway went along with the pretence, "Yes, you'll have to sir." 

"Then, shall we?" He said, imitaiing a British accent.

'Aye aye captain." I mock saluted and then we left. 

The car ride was surprisingly cozy. We didn't touch the touchy-feely subjects and kept them in the dark. We just talked about random things. I professed my love for Alex Pettyfer. He told about his love for the Beatles. He told me about the classes he's taken this year. I told him about my first day in the new school. He assured me that I'll be great. We talked about our favorite movies. Happens that we both love 'This Means War.' Anyway after around 20 minutes his car swerved outside my house.

Before getting out of his car, we exchanged numbers. Yes, we did. The moment I got out of the car I remembered something. But it was too late. He was already gone. So I took out my cell and sent him a text:

Me: If you wanna talk, I'm there :)

I'm pretty sure that he knew what I ment. It was a littlebit too obvious. But then again I didn't want him to 'stand alone' like he stated in his song. I wanted him to know that I was there. That he could rely on me.

After a moment I got a reply.

Him: :)

 I made a mental note that he never said 'yes'. Then again he never said 'no'.
