Love Doesn't Change, People Do

The Fire

"Bro! That was a killer game! I can't believe you did a backflip man!" Stacey said to me as we engaged into a bro hug.

"Thanks! But I can't take all the effort bro, without the team I wouldn't be holding this beauty." I said smiling looking at the trophy—also congratulating him for our big champioship win.

I walked to the beverage table and grabbed some punch. There were about 2-300 people at my house. I wasn't worried until people started going in the house. But I was more worried to see if Audrey showed. I kept looking around, every now and then asking one of the people in the crowd of people I was drilling through if they've seen her. Of course no one has, so I went inside to see if maybe she was inside, I was worried with what I may have come across inside. It wasn't really much, mostly sophmores and seniors standing around talking, a few teenage couples making out on the couch. I walked upstairs to close and lock my moms bedroom, the guest room too. I walked in my bedroom and sat at my computer.

I logged onto BlogMe to see if Audrey was on, I added her awhile back. She was! I texted her on there to see what was up.

"Hey Audrey! Couldn't make it?" I asked her. After waiting what felt like forever,

"Nah I couldn't I'm just too busy at home sitting in my bedroom." She replied.

"I think you should come over. Its not that bad." I said in hopes she comes.

"You see Alexander I would, but I don't go to 'parties' I don't like the whole big crowd thing." She replied.

I sighed silently to myself. I sat for a minute and thought what could I do to see 

her. I really want to see her. I need to see her.

"Hey, meet me at the water tower on 5th Ave in 10 minutes. Don't ask questions, just do it." I said to her. Of course I waited until she read it. She didn't reply, so I took that as she's going to come.

I jumped off my bed and went down stairs to find Stacey, Ronnie, and William. My three best friends, I brought them all back to my room.

"Okay listen guys, I'm leaving I'm going to meet somebody at the old water tower In about 8 minutes I have absolutely no time to explain right now." I said to them changing my clothes and refreshining up. "I'm leaving this party under your guys supervision! So make everyone go outside move the party outside. I want everyone out. Lock the windows and here's the key. You guys crash here after everyone's gone."

"Okay" all three boys answered at the same time.

"Oh and Stacey!" I said holding out my hand smiling at him.

"Here." He said handing me his car keys.

I ran down the stairs and out into Stacey's nice lime green with a black pinstrip mustang GT. I smiled wishing I had a car, I pulled off checking the time. I sped to the water tower, parking and running to it. I hopped the baseball field fence, and crouched through the water tower gate. I walked over to the ladder and pulled it down, I looked up but I couldn't see anyone. I sighed. I climbed up the ladder but no one was there. I looked around in a distance to see if I seen her in the field of what I could see. I seen no one. I sat down and got on my phone. I got on BlogMe to see what was there, the first thing I seen was a photo post from Audrey, it capped "wow how could I have been so foolesh. I should've known you wouldn't show." With a picture of an empty field which looks like the opposite side of the water tower. I was devastated! I put my phone away and walked around the tower...

"Audrey!" I exclaimed.

"You're late." She said angry.

"Let me fix that." I answered sitting next to her.

"How could you?" She asked.

"Well how bout we talk for awhile. I know you don't know nearly who I am." I said grabbing her hand.

"Well you're Alexander, you're the greatest kid in the school! Everyone loves you. I'm not impressed." She said to me seriously.

"that's public me. Nobody knows the real me." I said frowning.

"Please just give me a chance." I asked kissing her hand.
