Fallen.

Your soul can never grow old it's evergreen.

I walk slowly towards the fire. Towards him.
His face shows a certain sadness that makes me wonder.
I follow Clem, towards the bonfire. I like it better here then the party I went to before.
It's open, you can see the stars in between the branches. I feel free here.
I feel his presence beside me.
"Well, look who made an appearance."
"What you want a autograph Carter?"
I ask, playfully.
"It's all part of the plan Wylde." He smiles.
The musics soft yet loud, and I can't describe the feeling of being there in the woods.
It felt good, it felt nice.
The song "thinking out loud" by Ed Sheeran plays.
Logan smiles at me, and grabs my hand, pulling me over to the area where everyone is dancing.
"W-what are you doing?" I manage to say.
"Well we're going to dance cupcake, I don't know about you but I totally love this song" he smiles a goofy smile.
"D-dance? With me?" I say, I can't help but smile a little.
"Yes Sherlock." He says as he puts his hand around my waist.
Couples are all around us. Dancing.
Together. Because they are dating.
What's happening. Oh my...
I don't even know.

And I'm thinking about how people fall in love in mysterious ways, maybe just the touch of a hand.

His hand just brush mine gently, and I can't help but feel explosions in my tummy. Why, I'll never know.
I look up at him and he looks down at me. Suddenly my cheeks go red! ABORT MISSION!MAYDAY MAYDAY!
I avert my to the side, a piece of my hair annoyingly falling to my face.

Take me into your loving arms.

He pulls the little piece of hair behind my ear and tilts my chin up. His eyes are locked into mine and I can't look away. His grip around me tightens. Pulling me closer to him.

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars.

He pulls me in. His lips press on mine gently. It feels like hours, but was only a few mere seconds. I pull away slowly.

What's happening?
What am I doing.

"I.. I'm sorry." I say as i quickly look down stepping away from him.
I just kissed the bad boy.
I just kissed Logan Carter.
"Hey, it's not a bad thing." He smiles as his forehead rests on mine.
I bite my lips. What just happened.

Baby we found love right where we are.

"Trice!" I hear Clem.
She is probably worried about me.
"I gotta go." I breath. I turn away but he grabs my arm
"Already?" He frowns slightly.
I notice the black swirly tattoos on his arms and the cigarettes in his pockets.
"Yeah. Sorry, I'll see you around." I manage to say.
"Promise?" His voice is playful
"Pinky." I say as I walk away, passing through the crowd.
What...
Was......
That........?

The next morning I wake up. I'm not at home in my loving bed.
Im sitting in Clem's car. Out side my house.
I remember last night.
When we were driving home she parked and I told her about Logan.
We talked. And talked. And talked.
"Shit." I curse and shake Clem.
She wakes up and curses as well.
"School starts tomorrow." She smiles.
I smile at her too, finally I'll have a real friend with me.
"My parents meet today" Clem's smile drops.
"I'll be there Clem. I promise you won't go through this alone. Not again." I sigh as I open the door, and look back at Clem.-
School starts tomorrow. School with Clem.
I look at the time. Mom and dad are probably already contacting the fbi to tell them I've been killed or something.
"I'll call you after Clem, okay?"
"Sure, I'm going to need a cage to stuff my parents into if they start a fight" she smiles as I run up my lawn and wave to her.
Clem was back.
I unlock the door and I sigh a breath of happiness because mom and dad are asleep.
Not long after they were down.
"Beatrice! Your up so early" they exclaim.
Oh they do not know half of it.
