As I lay still and quiet in the warmness of my hotel bed, I could only hear the soft cries of thunder and the steady pitter-patter of the rain. I stared outside the window to my left and remembered memories--painful memories. I could see the blood-shot look in her eyes. Her body lay still in a big wooden coffin. Her black hair still shining, her skin still a snowy, white, effervescent glow.

A low rumble of thunder sounded along with a flash of lightning. The rain pounded harder onto the window. Are you crying, mom? I wondered in my head. I looked to the clock on my right. 2:30 a.m. Groaning, I hid under my pillow, wondering what I was going to do. I wanted to sleep, but I just couldn't. Flashbacks of my mom popped into my mind again, making my stomach knot into an enormous ball of feelings.

I missed the way she would always comfort me when it rained. She would lay beside me in bed sometimes and brush my hair back and whisper, "It'll be all-right sweetie. The rain will pass by tomorrow morning. There'll be a rainbow outside, and the flowers will be in full bloom when you wake up."

Those memories of my mother's soothing voice and caressing touch made my eyes sting. My sinuses became backed up and I couldn't breathe. Fat tears rolled down my cheeks in the darkness of the room, my little sniffles of sadness drowned out by Bam's snoring.

Suddenly, a huge clap of thunder made me squeal, and hide under the covers. I shook and shut my eyes tight under the covers and cried silently, biting my lip to keep me from sobbing. "Katie," I heard a voice whisper, "are you okay?"

I lifted up a corner of the linen comforter, "Y-yeah. I-I' fine. Just go back to sleep." I sniffled.

Once again, Bam's snoring resumed, and I hid under the covers again, curled up in a small ball. Another flash of lightning and an enormous clap of thunder roared throughout the whole city of Los Angeles, echoing down the streets of the busy city. I squealed again, and stayed put, burying my face further into my now wet pillow. Staying in a stiff position, I didn't move, afraid that I would bother Bam again.

After a few minutes, the rain had only gotten worse; my fear had only grown stronger. I hate rain. I miss mom, I miss-- my thoughts were interrupted when a body moved close in with mine, long arms wrapping around my curled-up body. I turned my head to my right and felt no one other than Bam cuddling in close with me.

"Stop crying..." he mumbled, "I can't sleep."

"Sorry Bam," I sniffled and wiped my face with the back of my hands, "I'm sorry..."

"Why are you afraid of thunderstorms anyways?" he whispered groggily.

I only sighed, exhausted, "My mom would always comfort me," I turned my body so that I was facing him to the right side of me, "and she would always comfort me when I--"

I was cut off when a soft pair of lips caught mine in the dark. My first kiss. Bam's soft sweet, tender, lips crashed into my clammy, chapped lips, causing sparks to fly. My mind was blank, I couldn't think, all I could do was close my eyes and enjoy the feelings that were felt.

After we broke the kiss, I just lied there, my eyes wide-open. I could still feel my lips tingling after the soft and sweet kiss. I'm sure that I felt this feeling inside my stomach; like butterflies just wanting to escape! "There. Now I hope that'll put you to sleep..." Bam mumbled. The only thing I could do was snuggle into Bam's chest and fall asleep, listening to his steady heartbeat as his chest fell up and down slowly.
