At the end of the credits I was happier than I've ever been. The movie was a fantastic ending for a reboot and had all of the frights I pictured it would. My arm now aching sore from never moving an inch felt relief and mourning as she let go and started to stretch. I have a hard time believing it wasn't 10 minutes since we sat down.
We said our goodbyes half heartedly to my brother and his friends. We exited the theatre and I ran full speed to get the door for her at an extremely uncomfortable distance so she would laugh. Instead of laughing, she just giggled and ran and jumped into the truck like a rabid opossum. It was so fitting.
Into the night we rode beneath the stars and above the heavens.
Exchanging our thoughts on the movie we slowly reached for each others hands, clawing for another touch without letting the other know our intentions. I couldn't reach for the radio dial without moving her finger that had slowly bumped against my wrist on the console. The occasional smile at a red light was everything I could muster.
Please god just let this go on forever. Please don't let this end. Please.
I creeped 5 below the speed limit and enjoyed breathing the same air as her if not for one more minute. I turned my blinker on to pull down her dirt road. It was dark like it can only be in the country. The glow of my headlights lit up her street sign and I felt a tap on my shoulder. Afraid I was headed for the wrong turn I whipped my head to her.
Her eyes still had tears welled from laughing the whole way home. Her demeanor had changed. She bowed her head down and looked up at me. She softly smiled and managed to ease out a gentle sentence.
"I don't want this to be over."
She continued with, " I don't care what we do but can we kept hanging out. I don't wanna go home yet. Please?"
