My Muse 2 [s.w]

8 - Kid In Love

July 4th

-

I woke up to my alarm sounding. Today was going to be good. (Hopefully) I thought. I checked all my social media. A lot of my fans were wondering where I've been, so I decided to update them a bit.

"@alexiscaniff: hey loves, happy 4th! Sorry I've been absent, filming a video explaining what's been happening, love you all. Xoxo,."

I stepped in the bathroom and took a nice, warm shower. My family was planning on having a barbeque for lunch, and watching fireworks and relaxing. But I still wanted to look good.

I concluded my shower and blowed my hair dry, and curled it. I did my makeup before putting on my patriotic attire. I decided to go for a natural look, but I added some blue and white eyeshadow. I looked in the mirror one last time. I thought I looked pretty nice, and I never really feel like that.

I checked the time on my phone and it was approximately 11:45. I walked downstairs, into a decorated house and the whole family eyeballing me.

"You look so beautiful!" My mom said.

"Wow, you look amazing Alexis." My dad says, looking speechless.

"My best friend is hot!" Matt shouts.

I laugh at them all, "Thank you guys, you all look good yourselves." I say.

Taylor and Matt both had patriotic tank tops with khaki shorts on, with vans. My mom was wearing a striped shirt with a plain blue maxi skirt and my dad wore his usual, American flag shirt and shorts, with his U.S military hat.

We all Sat outside my house, dancing and singing, and cooking. Pop, Dubstep and rock n' roll was currently being played, my favorite genres in music.

Matt danced with me and head-banged with me on the grass. I was laughing so hard at his impression of head-banging.

We all ate burgers, hot dogs, chips, ribs, and ect, your typical American food.

We Sat and watched people set off early fireworks. Everyone was happy and in a great mood.

Matt and I had finished up with our sparklers and I Sat on our lawn chairs with my phone, the time was 6:15pm. Damn. I thought.

I told Matt I was leaving. I had to start walking if I wanted to make it to the park before dark.

I walked until I reached the pArk and stopped, trying to remember my way to my old tree house. I did so and walked. I made my way through some trees and found the tree house. I checked my phone and it was 6:25. I sighed and climbed the ladder. Nobody had ever found our tree house considering it was VERY hidden. I knocked on the top door and got no response. I lifted the door and climbed in, with no sight of Sammy. I Sat down by the window and unlatched it, looking up at the sky.

I heard footsteps and turned around.

"You came." Sam says, in a sorta relieved voice.

"Uh, yeah. I did." I say, not knowing what to say.

He sits down beside me.

I look him in the eyes and look away.

He grabs my hand and stArts talking.

"Alexis, I wanted to tell you that I'm very very sorry for whAt I said, about our break and stuff. I know you said you only loved me but I felt like you were going to give up on us if Jack got better, and I know I should have just addresses you with this, but I was just being a coward and I'm sorry."

I look up at him and smile.

Before I say anything, he continues.

"Remember when we were in second grade, and we used to come here everyday after school and just talk and play?" He says.

"Yeah." I say laughing.

"That was truly when I first started liking you. But I was just a kid then, and I still am, but I've gained something special."

I look him in the eyes and he holds my hand.

"Love. Love, Alexis. I've gained love!" He nearly shouts.

"I am just a kid in love!" He pauses, "and I'm in love with you, only you."

I feel butterflies in my stomach.

Fireworks start going off and we can see the view In the window. I get distracted but then look back at Sam.

"And I love you more idiot." I say as he crashed his lips on mine and fireworks explode, as if this was all a dream and it wasn't real but I knew it was.

Our kiss broke and we both smiled widely.

"It looks like a bunch of exploding stars." I say.

"But your the most beautiful star." He says and I blush. Very smooth Sam.

"So, mine again baby girl?" He asks.

"Yours." I say leaning my head into his shoulder.

This was perfect.
