Fly like a bird: Autumn's POV

AUTUMN'S POV

My phone starts ringing. I flip the screen and read the name. "ava" it says. so I answer it in the beat of a heart, not wanting to keep her waiting.

"Hi aut! guess what?!" she giggles through the phone. I love her giggles. "what is it, aves?" i smile even though she cant see me. "I found a dove! you know, the bird?" she giggles more. she loves birds so much shes obsessed.. its pretty cute. "Wow, yay! are you coming to school?" i ask. she replies with a yes, we say goodbye and we hang up.

I hate going to school, but I love seeing ava so I go anyway. I get up and get ready for school so i can go see her.

I get to school and run to hug her. as we hug, everyone calls us lesbian and shouts slurs. thats forbidden, we arent lesbian. I clutch my cross necklace as we hug so they know we arent.

After school we go to her house and watch a movie. as we are watching the movie, ava snuggles up to me. im thinking shes just tired, but my heat flutters. I reach my hand up and rub my cross necklace. ava looks up at me so i look down at her.

I see this.. feeling in her eyes. it looks like love. thats when she leans up and kisses me on the lips.

I dont stop her, I dont grab my necklace, I just kiss her back.

Her dad comes in. we quickly stop kissing but its too late, hes already yelling. he calls my dad- wait... my dad..

I get sent home so i run. im not going home if my dad knows. thats when i hear footsteps chasing me. Its ava. i slow down so she can catch up to me. "A-autumn.." she pants, tears streaming down both our faces. "Ava.." i bring my thumb up to wipe her tears. we hug for a little before walking off to our favourite place.

a treehouse we made in a pine tree, high off the ground in the woods.

we both climb up and sit on the edge, hugging.

"My dads going to kill me.." i sigh. She looks at me and says "then.. why dont we do it for him?..." my eyes widen slightly. i grab her hand but we both move closer to the edge. "okay, ava... together.." i whisper, looking at the ground.

I grab her in my arms as we fall down to the ground, hoping it will kill us... Together..
