NOT ONLY WAS last night especially shitty in just about every way imaginable, but this morning wasn't looking to have too good of a start either.

     Exiting her house, keys in between her teeth as she tied her hair up into a loose bun, Beck halted at the bottom of the steps and mentally screamed as Preston stood before her with his arms crossed over his chest.

     Beck finished with her hair and intentionally walked right past him and towards her truck. "If you came here to scold me again, then turn around. Nothing happened."

He chuckled, hands sliding into his pockets as he followed her to her car. "Actually, I'm here to apologize."

Her hand that rested above the door handle came to an abrupt stop, her head slowly turning to face him. Did she somehow enter a parallel universe without realizing it?

"Really?" She asked, crossing her arms skeptically as he walked closer.

Realizing her confusion, Preston nodded like he was reinstating his words. "Yeah... I realized I was kinda out of line last night, and I'm sorry. It's not like it's your fault some Pogue thinks you're hot. I'm pretty sure most guys do."

She was a little stunned and she'd even go as far as to say she was concerned he'd hit his head or something.

Beck brought her hand up appearing to be in the search for balance to which Preston scoffed jokingly with a shake of his head. "I'm sorry, did you somehow mature over the past few months?"

He smiled after seeing her smile, the boy stepping even closer and wrapping his arms around her waist. "Wouldn't that be something?"

"Huh..." She muttered as he leaned down to kiss her cheek. "I like this version of you."

"Well, I like you all the time." He pecked her cheek once more before laying a kiss on her lips, Beck trying desperately to find that surge of passion she was lacking when in his presence.

She pulled back, not showing the guiltiness she felt for not feeling how he clearly does, the girl stepping away with her hands behind her back and a smile on her lips.

"I'm sorry, I've gotta go." She gestured to the truck as she opened the door, blind to Preston's face squinting in curiosity as she climbed in and rolled down her window.

"Where you going?" He asked, showcasing an easygoing, careless smile that didn't at all resemble the way he felt the need to know where she was off to as he leaned against the car.

"Lana's. She's been having trouble dealing with Scooter, so I'm gonna make sure she's okay." Beck explained as the engine roared to life before she returned the grin to her boyfriend.

"All right, you wanna meet me somewhere later then?" He asked.

     "Sure..." She was about to tell him to text her, but then she remembered the entire island was out of service. "Well, I'll stop by your place later on, how's that?"
