Tears & Irony

Chapter three-Rooftops

I called Marijuana one day, asking if she wanted to meet up. She said yes and the day after we met in the park right outside the gay club where we met for the first time. We talked for hours while wandering around the huge park. She was extremely ironic, just like me, and we noticed that we had a lot of thing in common. I asked her about her tattoos and she asked me about mine. We laughed and grew closer and closer to each other for every second that passed. When it was starting to get dark Marijuana asked me a very weird question.
"I know this is kinda strange, but would you maybe like to sleep over at mine tonight?" She looked nervous. My lips cracked a smile and I stopped walking to look at her.
"Yes! Obviously I'd like to!" I said and put my arms around her neck. I was pretty tall for my age, but somehow she was taller than me. She immediately put her arms around my waist and held on tight. We stood there, hugging, for quite a while before I pulled away.
"Take me to your home!" I said and smiled.

We laid in her bed, talking about random stuff. I jokingly asked her if she liked Marijuana because of her name and to my surprise she seriously responded with a "yes, I do actually". She explained to me that she liked taking drugs, smoking and drinking alcohol 'cause it gave her a kick of happiness. The thing was, that she had severe depression and anxiety. I didn't ask her a lot of questions about it because I knew that it triggered some people.

We went quiet for a while before Marijuana broke the silence.
"Would you like to go up onto my roof?" She asked me. A wave of excitement immediately filled my body.
"Yes! Obviously I would!" I almost screamed and jumped out of the bed. Marijuana took my hand in hers and led me to a window located in her living room. She opened it and told me to go after her. Then she climbed out of the window and onto the roof. I followed.
"Wow, this is really cool! What a view!" I said and looked out over the city.
"Yeah, I know right?!" Marijuana said and started laughing. And when I heard her laugh I couldn't resist to laugh myself. After a while we calmed down and went higher up onto the roof. We sat down next to each other and I she rested her head on my shoulder. The butterflies inside my stomach were going wild. We just sat in silence for quite a while before Marijuana lifter her head from my shoulder.
"Gayle", she said and looked into my eyes. It was really dark outside but I could still see her bright green eyes through the darkness.
"Yeah?"
"You're the most beautiful person I have ever met."
"Stop, that can't be true!" I felt my cheeks heat up.
"It is! I promise!" She laughed and I looked away. Then I felt a hand on my chin and Marijuana pulled my head back to face her. I didn't hesitate to kiss her. And there we were, in love, under the stars at a beautiful night...
