The Boy Trapped

Chapter 5

Nyxon's POV
"I blamed myself for disappearing. I thought...she died because of broken heart syndrome. I was wrong."

We talked the entire lunch period. After lunch, we went to our next class. We got put in groups of two for a project.

"You have a month to work on this."

After school, Colette came over to my house so we could start the project. We managed to get it done a few days before the deadline. We ended up getting a good grade on it. We started hanging out every day after that. I started watching her cheer practices.

I like her.

She reminds me of Masie.

One day, she caught me off guard. We were in my room just talking when, she suggested something.

"We should go out together."

"L-like a date?"

"Yeah!"

"Y-you want to go on a date? With me?"

"Yeah!"

"B-but I-I'm so...so broken."

"What's broken, can be fixed. You're fixable."

My face started to heat up.

"I-I am?"

She smiled.

"Mhm!"

"I-I don't have money to pay f-for anything."

"That's fine. I'll pay."

"Oh no. I-it's rude to have the girl pay."

"Nyx stop. It's fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. It's fine."

"W-what do you feel like doing?"

"What's something...you've been wanting to do for a while?"

"I dunno. Go see a movie I guess?"

"Do you know what movie, you'd wanna see?"

I shrugged. We watched a few trailers until, I picked one out.

"Wait...I think I have a better idea. Let's not push you into being a room full of strangers."

"Huh?"

"Let's do a date night here. We can keep the lights on."

"Y-you'd do that for me?"

"Yeah. You've only been back in the world for like 5 months. I'd feel bad if...you panicked because of my idea."

I started hugging her.

"Thank you."

"I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Wait...we're doing this tomorrow?"

"Is that okay?"

"Y-yeah."

"If you end up spending the night, it's fine."

The next night, Colette picked me up and brought me to her house.

"Am I gonna get murdered?"

"No. Don't worry. Nobody's home right now. My parents work late on Saturdays. My brother and sister are probably at a party."

We walked inside and went to the kitchen. We got food and drinks ready.

"Uh where are we going?"

"The living room."

We went into the living room and sat on the couch. We agreed on a movie and started watching it. She got closer to me and put my arm around her.

What is she doing?

"Is this..the first date you've ever had?"

"Yeah. I mean...I did disappear when I was 10 so..."

"Oh right. Sorry."

"You're good. Is this your first one too?"

"Nope. I've been on a few. They all sucked. This one doesn't."

My face started to heat up.

"I-it doesn't?"

"No. This is a good one. Okay I can't hold back anymore."

"Huh?"

She cupped my face and started kissing me.

AHHHHH!

WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

SHE'S ONLY KNOWN ME FOR 5 MONTHS AND...AND SHE'S FUCKING KISSING ME!

AHHHHHHHHHH!

I'M ENJOYING THIS TOO!
