My living nightmare

Chapter 8

Riley pov:
Waiting, waiting, waiting. That's I I've been doing for the past hour, waiting for James to text me. I was still in such happy shock from James asking me out. I had been bullied the first 2 years of high school for never having a boyfriend, and now, I've got the captain of the football team to call mine.

I'm about to go eat supper when my phone goes off, so I jump onto my bed, grab it quickly to see that James texted me.
James: hey beautiful❤️
Me: hey❤️
James: what are you doing right now?
Me: nothing
James: do u wanna go out for dinner with me?
Me: I'd love too 💜
James: sweet. I'll be at your house in 10 minutes. But don't dress fancy, dress your normal way.
Me: okay :)
My first date! I can't dress exactly like my normal way, I want to look nice for him but still cool.
I put on a white lace top, maroon leggings and my dads old raptors snap back. I get on my sneakers and I'm sitting out on my porch until my dad sees me." Going out with some friends?" He asked.
"Yeah, do u mind?"
"Oh, not at all. Just be home by 11" he said nicely.
"For sure!" I say as James pulls his car into my driveway.

James pov:
I'm wearing a black t shirt, blue jeans, vans and a raptors snap back and I drive to Riley's place. She gets in the car, only 1 minute after we realize we are wearing the same hat. She looked beautiful as always, but still chill. Most girls I take out for dinner wear fancy dresses and high heels, which are so annoying! I can never take them out to 'my special rock' when they are dressed like that.
My special rock is a rock in the forest, it's right by a lake. I've never taken any girl there before, but I just go there to collect my thoughts. When my parents fight, or there's drama at school, or just drama in general I always come there. I want to take riley there, tonight. She is dressed perfect for it, and i know she is the one I want to share that rock with.

Once Riley and I finish our dinner at lone star, we walk back to my car and I start driving her to the rock.

Riley pov:
Where is James taking me? Is he going to kill me? Kidnap me? Rape me? All those questions raced through my head, until he pulls up to this huge rock, with a lake beside it. He gets out of the car and I get out as well.
"Come up here" James says to me as he climbs up the rock. I do as I'm told and I sit at the top, beside him. we are overlooking the lake, with the moon reflecting off the middle. It's so peaceful and so quiet. James wraps his arm around me and pulls me close. And at this moment, this split second, I'm in paradise. Even if I'm just sitting on a rock, with my boyfriend, it's happiness. That's something I haven't felt in a while.
