HOLY JESUS ITS AN UPDATE!! It's a miracle, I know, I'm sorry!
Anyways, read away ^_^

I spent hours on my laptop Skyping Mike and Kyle until finally, Mike had to go to bed and Kyle needed to do homework. I spent the next boring few minutes reading a book until a girl came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder, taking my attention away from the book.

When I looked up, I saw that she was wearing a black shirt that had a triangle in the centre of it with a rainbow coming out one side and a plain white line coming out the other that was tucked into a black leather mini skirt with combat boots. She had half of her hair shaved and the rest was put up into a messy bun and she was also wearing glasses that slightly hid the colour of her eyes. Her hair was dyed a purple colour that complimented her nicely.

"Sorry, but, the library is closing now." I saw a library volunteer card hanging from her neck. "Oh, really? Okay." I quickly packed up my things and checked my phone for the time. 6:25.

"Well, actually, the library closed at six, but, I figured since I was closing up today then you could stay a little longer." She looked slightly awkward, like she didn't know whether or not to shake my hand or something.

"Thanks for letting me stay." I smiled at her and pulled my bag over my shoulder. "I should get going now. Bye."

She walked me to the door and we talked a little bit. She was actually really nice. "So, I think that I should give you my number." She smiled at me as she scribbled something down on a piece of paper and handed it to me. "Call me and we can hang out some time?"

"Definitely." I grabbed the paper and put it in my pocket. "My names Izzy by the way."

"Amanda. I'll text you." We shared a smile before I walked out the door and into the cold. I grabbed out my phone and typed her number into a new contact. She seemed cool, maybe I'll finally have a friend around here.

I walked around for another 40 minutes trying to find a quiet place that was open, but everything was either closed or had people from school inside. I hate people from school. Eventually, I came to realise that I wasn't going to sit inside in the warmth and found a park bench by a large lake.

I put my bag at my feet and grabbed out my phone again. 7:08 pm. Three more hours until I can go home. 10:00 is when everyone is definitely asleep, and I have a feeling no one is going to stay up just to piss me off. Maybe next week while my grandparents are out I can install a lock on my door.

Feeling a cool breeze pass, I pulled the grey shirt down further and pushed my sleeves over my hands for warmth. I'm kinda wishing that Kyle was here now, then I wouldn't be cold because I'd either have his jacket or he would be hugging me. I sorta miss that.

Remembering Warped Tour made me feel slightly depressed because I knew that I wouldn't ever be able to do that again.

Kyle's POV

I was taking a late night walk around a lake in my house when I saw a bright light shine towards me. When I looked in the direction of the light, I saw a phone screen shining in my direction. I could faintly see the outline of a person sitting on a bench with their legs tucked up to their chest and they were typing away on their phone.

Through the light, I could make out red and black hair fluttering slightly in the wind. That looks kind of familiar. Is it...?
I began walking towards them, curious to see if it who I think it is.

"Amanda?" I walked around to see their face, and sure enough, there she was. "Kyle? What the hell?! I thought you lived further away than this!" She got off the seat and hugged me. When I hugged her back, I could immediately smell her lilac perfume and that weird old people smell was mixed in with it. "Why do you smell like old people?" I asked sarcastically as she pulled away.

"My grandparents. They have this weird perfume thing that they spray all the time, I'm pretty sure it's sunk into like all my clothes." Even though she seemed sort of upset talking about them, her smile didn't waver a bit. "Come, sit! Share my loneliness!" She sat back down on the bench and patted the spot next to her.
"Mmkay." I sat down beside her and we sort of just stared out over the water for a while.

"So, how's life with your grandparents?" I asked after a while of silence. "Shitty." Was all she said before realising I wanted her to tell me more.

"Well, for starters, half of my closet needs to be hidden under my bed. They do stupid random room checks for pretty much anything. Rude shirts, band shirts, band posters, skinny jeans, beanies, bracelets, anything. I'm only aloud to wear colour, skirts and dresses. It's so stupid and I hate it!" That first reason was enough to make me mad. No band shirts or skinny jeans!? That's just not right.

She proceeded to tell me about all the rules and chores and school life. I felt really bad for her. As if living life with her abusive and drunk mother before wasn't bad enough.

"Y'know what, pack a small bag and come over, you can sleep at mine for a while if you need to." I wasn't really thinking about what I was saying, but I knew if I was in that situation then I'd want a friend to be there for me too.

"That's nice of you and everything kyle, but I can't go back home until after ten, cuz that's when everyones sleeping and when I can go back without any issues. And besides, not sure how far I walked, but it's going to take me at least forty minutes to get home even if I speed walk it."

"Okay, at least let me hang out here with you until you have to go home?" I asked. I haven't seen her for months and I wasn't gonna leave so soon.

"Definitely." She smiled at me and we stated talking.

We sat there for hours until we both got too tired and I walked Amanda halfway back to her house before she made me turn back around and head home. I hope she doesn't get into a lot of trouble when she gets back, I'd like to be able to hang out with her again now that I know that we don't live too far away from each other.

Boo, so short! I know, I suck, but.... New person! And Kyle's back!

Hehe

Sorry again for taking so long =/

Anyways...
Peacekies ✌🏻
