Concealed // Alex x George

glue- Wilbur

I cannot believe I'm following through with this. It's not like me at all, but if it makes her happy..

I swear my heart keeps skipping a beat, I certainly feel like I'm going to pass out any minute. My skin is hot and damp. The cool, dewy grass looks so inviting but I can't bail now, I have spent so much time preparing it would be a waste to give up.

Darkness floods the sky like a void, and outside on her lawn I feel like the last man on Earth. Not for long though, soon we'll be together. Me and my lover. I almost scoff at that. Are we even lovers? I dont know anymore. Im not sure I even know anything. Shes stayed at her friends house while we've been together and I now know it as well as I know my own.

I climb over her fence, my legs flailing everywhere. It's not very elegant but I don't care, its pitch black and plus, my mind is somewhere else. I land on the other side of the fence with a thud. I freeze for a second, wondering if i was too loud. After a few long seconds of silence I resume running until I am faced with her bedroom window.

 I could call up to her Romeo + Juliet style, but that feels too cliche. I could hurl a rock at his window to wake her but that could smash it and I wouldn't want to hurt her. I've learnt that blood isn't that strong if a glue. Tears work better. I wouldnt want to awaken up her friend either, not after all shes done for Aria. There aren't even any rocks near me anyway..

I notice a slight opening in the window, maybe I could throw up a note? I wonder what her bedroom looks like at night, I've never been so rebellious as to visit in the dark hours. I run a hand through my dark hair. I could climb up? No, of course not, that would be fucking terrifying to wake up to your boyfriend stood outside your window without any warning. But I am trying to be spontaneous. Not so "rigid" as she calls it.

It is meant to be a surprise, you can't warn someone about a surprise, right?

I turn to my left and spot a tree. Perfect. I grab onto the lowest branch with both hands and use all of my strength to heave myself up, trying my hardest not to rip my trousers on the sharp sticks taunting me as I climb. I bring my shoulders and chest over the branch and lean on it for a second to catch my breath. I chuckle. The things I do for her. I continue the motion until I am level with the window. This date better be worth it. I pull myself up until I'm sitting on the branch and I crawl to the very edge of it then I stop. Is this even legal? It feels wrong. She wouldn't get angry though, she'll love me for this I'm sure.

I suddenly feel uneasy and millions of negative emotions overflow inside of me. At least it distracts me enough to forget what I'm doing as I'm instantly inside her room, I cant believe I've done this, I need to get up early tomorrow. Alex has planned something and I feel terrible refusing since I hit him yesterday. Blood isn't that strong of a glue. I slip out of my daydream and back into her bedroom. I have just broken into my girfriend's room. Wishful thinking. I've broken into someone's house at least. I can see her peacefully sleeping, blissfully unaware that I am about to wake her from her sweet slumber.

I think about the best way to go about this before settling on a calm approach, as not to scare her. I lay down next to her and push a stray hair out of her face. I gently place my hand on her cheek.

"ari. hey, aria wake up. it's wilbur."  

Her eyes flutter open and widen with confusion.

"huh? wilbur? why're you in my bed?"

I giggle. I'm high on adrenaline and excitement, it feels so weird.

I am still facing her and smiling like a little boy and shes still looking at me, dumbfounded. I pull off the sheets and walk over to her closet. She comes up behind me and hangs her arms loosely around my shoulders. I open the closet.
