DAY NINE OUT OF THIRTY ONE.
DECEMBER 20, 2014.
DAY FOUR OF WINTER BREAK.
12:30 PM.
ARABELLAS P.O.V.
"Can we go shopping today?" I turn my head to Nick, who was playing with my hair.
"Yeah sure, where do you want to go?"
"I don't care, I think we should just go joke around in stores."

1:00 pm
"You look ridiculous." I laugh, looking at Nick who spins around in his fur coat. He strikes a pose, putting a hat on.
"I'm buying it." he laughs, twirling a cigar in his hands.
"How much is it?" He checks the price tag and laughs.
"Well shit it was ninety-nine cents."
"Are you actually going to buy it?"
"I don't know, probably not. Anyway, its your turn." he hands me a studded crop top and jacket, gesturing to the open dressing room.
"What the hell is this?" I lift up the top that looks like something a stripper would wear, Nick winking at me.
"I'll wear it on one condition." I look at the leather suit behind him, which reminds me a lot of the first season of American Horror Story.
"What is it, snow?" I point to the outfit behind him.
"Fine." he shakes his head, grabbing the outfit and sitting back down.
"Your turn, baby girl." I sigh and walk in the dressing room, putting the shirt on. It was really tight around the top, ending in the middle of my ribcage.
"I look like a hooker."
"And I look like Macklemore." I hear Nick respond, making me laugh.
"You look hella good as Macklemore." I say as I open the door.
"You look like a biker, a cute biker, but still a biker."
"Thanks, I'm going to change then it's your turn, Tate." I lock the door, taking the shirt off and putting my sweater back on.
"Tate- oh! Like from American Horror Story." I open the door and switch spots with him. While waiting, I take out my phone out and text Emily. We plan on meeting at ten once again.
"I look stupid."
Nick walks out, his hand over his male part. I will admit, he looks very attractive. He looks attractive in anything, he probably looks attractive in nothing too. He raises his eyebrows and waves a hand in front of my face.
"Okay cutie, I'm going to change and then we're getting out of this deadbeat town."
"Where are we going?"
"Some place no one can find us."
👫
It was now three o'clock, and we were in the middle of nowhere. He pulls into the woods, shutting the car off and getting out.
"I found this place in eighth grade."
"The woods?" I scoff, looking around and pulling my jacket tighter.
"It's a shame you have to die." he shakes his head, causing my head to snap up.
"What?"
"I'm kidding! Oh my god I couldn't kill anyone." he laughs, stepping over a log.
"I hate you." I mumble, my cheeks turning the color of a rose.
"Aw you're blushing, you look so cute when you blush! Actually you look cute whenever and it makes me really nervous to be arou-" he rants, stopping suddenly and putting his head down. I laugh, making kissing noises before coming to a hault.
"Oh my god it's beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you." He lifts his head and smiles,causing me to shake my head.
"Do you think we will stay friends after this project?" I ask him, grabbing onto his hand. His hand automatically grasps mine, intertwining our fingers.
"I hope. If you every need to talk we can meet here, this can be our place." He whispers, lifting up our hands and kissing my knuckles. I nod, putting my head on his shoulder. After sitting in silence for a few minutes, Nick speaks up.
"We need to talk about that kiss."
"What about it? Buddies kiss all the time. "
"No they don't! Buddies just hug, or cuddle." He shakes his head, running his thumb over my fingers.
Of course I know that just friends don't do that, everyone does. What makes it even worse is that not only does it mean something to me, we've also only known each other for nine days.
"Just buddies." I sigh, looking out at the small paradise he had found. It was a quiet little opening in the middle of the woods.
"Just buddies." he replies back, stretching out his long legs.
"How did you find this place?"
"I- um ran away when I was fourteen, found this place and stayed here a few weeks."
"You ran away?"
"I was over-reacting, my friend got the girl I liked at the time, my family was annoying me, school was aggravating." He shrugs,smiling a little at the memory.
"Why did you come back?" He opens his mouth to say something, but quickly shuts it.
"My brother and my mom." I nod at his answer and stop asking questions.
"Do you want to go out to eat?" He asks, ruffling his hair.
"Is this a date Rudolph?" I laugh and look at the boy.
"It could be."
"I'm paying this time." I stand up, pulling Nick up after.
"Why?"
"You paid last time!"
"Fine." he sighs, walking back to the truck.
👫
4:26 P.M.
"We're lost, we're dying today." I say from the passenger seat. We've been driving for a hour and couldn't find a thing, not even a road sign.
"We are not." Nick laughs, shifting in his seat.
"Then where are we?"
"We're just taking the long way home."
"We're stuck in the middle of nowhere!" I exclaim, uncrossing my arms.
"Once again, we are not."
"Yes we are!"
"See look, we're almost home." he points to a road sign, which had the name of the town next to us on it.
"You didn't know where we were going."
"That's true, but I do know one thing."
"What is that Nick?"
"That you are very cute."
