"Are you down for this?
He says in a soft, sincere tone as he trails his finger from my forehead to my neck then all the way down until his hand is wrapped around my waist.
"Of course," I whisper out in the dead of the night looking up at him like h...
Something I always took for granted. Something everyone is guilty of taking for granted.
I never thought I would be in a race against it. I never thought one action, one mistake, a lapse in judgment would have led me here.
Why did it have to be me of all people?
This is the story of how I lost everything, the story of how one error in my judgment changed everything. I didn't know, how could I? I didn't mean to hurt them. I didn't mean to hurt him.
But then she happened.
Along with her came darkness, secrets, and a danger that should've terrified me. And yet, I couldn't stay away. And sometimes I think to myself, how did I get here?
I should have listened, I should have opened my eyes. but I wanted to do things my way. I wanted to be stubborn and closed minded. I have to find a way to fix this before it's too late. I should have told Miles, I should have used my time more wisely, I should have—

IT WAS A SUNNY AFTERNOON. Y/n and Miles were found in her bedroom. It was nearing the end of the school year and Summer break was right around the corner.
Miles and Y/n were supposed to be at school for their parent-teacher conferences. Keywords, supposed to. The two forgot. So instead they were stuck trying to find something to do together that excluded them sucking their faces off.
It was then that Y/n came up with an idea. She sat up off of Miles's chest and looked him in the eyes with an excited gleam. His eyes scrunched in confusion. She blurted out what she wanted and Miles choked on his gum, swallowing it.

"My makeup." She said straight-faced.
And Miles answered with a laugh dipped in disbelief, "Do I look like a makeup artist to you?"
Y/n paused, she gives Miles a look and he shakes his head not understanding the face she pulled on him. Well he does, he's just not going to voice it. The bright eyed girl leaned forward, her hands on his thighs as support, "Not a makeup artist but definitely an artist." She smiles as the words leave her lips.
