"What?" I ask softly, confused.
Did i actually hear him correctly.
"Yeah, I could be the one to mend your scars. I could draw stars around your scars, I'm good at drawing" he says.
He pulls forwards as the car in front of us goes up to the first window.
The person taking our orders asks us what we want.
Ethan orders for us, I'm still shocked at what he's saying.
I'm scared to feel this connection but it's there, I can feel it.
But what if he leaves just like coleson, just like Mason.
He'll leave, he doesn't know how damage i really am. Once he finds out he'll leave.
Maybe i could try not to get attached so soon.
After he pays and we get our foods. He drives us to a park.
He parks and turns to me.
"Only if you want to" he says as he hands me my Big Mac with fries.
"Isn't it too soon?" I ask him.
"We can take it slow, we can be friends for now" he says sounding genuine.
"I mean I want to, but I'm scared" i tell him.
He looks confused, "what are you scared of stells?" He questions.
I sigh, "of you leaving" i whisper looking down.
He pulls my head up to look at him, "I won't leave you, i don't care how damaged you are! Hell I'm probably more damaged than you" he says giving me reassurance.
"I'm a lot to handle, you'll realize that and leave me" i said giving him excuses.
"I want to know you, every inch of you. I want to know what made you, you " he says breathlessly, "I want to see every scar you have and learn why you have them"
No one has ever wanted to know what made me who I am, not even Mason.
"Friends first" i tell him, he smiles and nods
"That's fine with me as along as I get to have you at the end" he says.
He looks away taking a bite of his burger.
"Let's go on the grass?" He asked, i nod.
We get off with our foods, he grabs a blanket from his backseat.
When we get to the grass, he lays the blanket down.
We sit on it as we eat.
We eat in silence, once we're done i lay on my back facing the stars.
He does too not long after.
"We're star gazing" he says, putting his hands under his head.
"Yeah, we are" i say back, the atmosphere around us is quiet again.
But in a good way, it was comfortable.
"I enjoy the stars" he says, i look at him looking at the stars.
"Why?" I ask him, he keeps looking at them as he speaks.
"They're all the same everywhere you go, i don't think they ever change and that makes me feel good in a way." He says.
It's funny how that's the reason I love the stars.
I find myself smiling at him sayin that.
He notices, "what?" He asks smiling back.
"I don't know I just find it weird how that's literally why I love the stars as well" i say looking at them again.
"See we're meant to be" he says staring at me.
Maybe we we're meant to be, maybe not. Maybe we won't know until we get to know each other.
I just laugh, because what else was I suppose to do?
Here there's a boy wanting to see my scars and here I am afraid because of some stupid boy who made the scars.
We both look up at the stars, it's the same stars we both looked at even before we knew each other.
In this moment it makes me feel like we're meant to be, or at least meant to have been in each other's lives someway or another.
"What's your favorite thing in the whole entire world?" He asks.
I think about it for a little, "I would say my books" i tell him honestly.
"And why is that?" He asked curiously.
"Because reading was the one thing that helped me when things were rough for me, it helped me escaped when I needed it"
He look's surprised at my answer.
"What about you?" I ask him just as curious.
"You" he says, a smile on his pretty face.
I blush, "how could I be your favorite something if we just barely met?" I say laughing.
He laughs along, "I'm not even sure, but I know and I can feel that your going to become one of the most important people in my life" he says making me stop laughing.
We looking into each others eyes, his green eyes glinting with different emotions.
"Let's take a picture? I want to remember this moment forever" he says, i nod.
He takes his phone out and takes a picture of us.
I'm looking at the camera with a goofy grin on my face and he's staring at me with a lazy smile on his.
"Send that to me" i tell him.
He sends it to me instantly.
"Come on it's getting late" he says standing up.
We walk to the car, we slightly brush our arms together as we walk but we don't care.
The drive home consists of us singing along to Taylor swift songs.
Safe to say I've successfully turned him into a swiftie.
After he leaves me at my house, I go inside to my room.
I start my night routine, in the middle of it my phone dings with a new notification.
Ethan has tagged you on a post
I tap on it to see the picture of us at the park with a red heart as a caption.
I double tap and repost it on my story with a red heart as well.
I finish my routine and lay in bed.
I turn on the vampire diaries and watch an episode.
Halfway through, my phone dings.
