STARKID Don't You

Chapter 3

Darren

I drove Madison back to her house. I pulled into her driveway, and we sat there.

"So will you you tell me now?" I asked Madison.

"Darren, I just can't." She said and began to softly cry.

"Madison what's wrong?" I said as I moved in closer and wrapped my arms around her. She looked up at me and our eyes locked. I leaned in closer.

"Darren I need to go." She said pushing me away.

"I'm sorry for asking." I told her.

"It's fine. If I decide to tell you I will tell you on my own." She got out if the car.

"Hey Madison wait!" I said before she got to far away. "Can I have your number?" She smiled at me and I handed her my phone. She put her number in and handed me my phone back.

"I'll see you later Darren." She said then walked into her house. I watched her walk in, then turned my truck on and pulled out.

I think I am crushing on Madison. Something inside of me sprung to life when ever she started to cry. I wanted to take to pain away from her, and make sure it never came back. But in order to do that, I have to find out what wrong.

I got out of my truck and walked inside. Joey was sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Joey, your an idiot." I told him as I sat down beside him.

"How?" He said muting the TV.

"Today we had theater. You skipped."

"No, today is Tuesday."

"Today is Monday." I told him, his eyes opened wide. "Buuut, our teacher wasant there, so everyone left. Except for Me, Lauren, Jaime, Joe, Dylan, Holden, and the Langs." A big relief washed over Joeys face.

"Wait." Joey said, he held up his hands and began to sniff like a dog. "You went to Pizza Palace with out me, how dare you." He said then crossing his arms.

"I'm sorry, I took Madison there." I told him.

"Madison, who is that?"

"She is a girl, the one I met the other night."

"Oh the night bird."

"Well, I think I'm starting to like her." I told him.

"You know I have everything in my right mind to kick your ass. Dude you have known her for what two days, well this isint some cheesy Disney movie where the lovers see each other and fall in love." I looked at Joey and rolled my eyes.

"Joey I know that."

"Well did you get her number?"

"Yea, why?"

"Well give it a couple day before you text her back, you don't want to look needy."

I took Joeys advice, I waited till Friday to finally text her. I was gonna ask her to go to the movies with me.

Darren Message: Hey Madison it's Darren.

I waited for what felt like forever, but really was only like a minute.

Madison Message: Hey Darren I haven't heard from you in a while, I thought you died.

Darren Message: No I'm still alive, but I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come to the movies with me?

Madison Message: Like a date?

Darren Message: Well um maybe, but more to apologize for the last time we hung out. I shouldn't have kept asking you to tell me that stuff, I'm sorry.

Madison Message: It's okay, and I would love to go to the movies with you.

Darren Message: Great, I'll come pick you up in say an hour.

Madison Message: Sounds good to me, I'll see you in an hour.

I went and got ready, witch only took about five minutes. I put on a nice button up shirt and jeans. I some what messed with my hair, witch was just a big poof ball so I gave up. And looked at my clock, I still had forty minutes. I got in my truck and drove to her house anyways, knowing I was way to early. I drove around her house until it was 6 o'clock. I parked my truck and ran up to her door. I knocked three times. She opened the door and looked beautiful. Her blonde hair was in curls, and decided was wearing a light blue dress with a jean jacket.

"Wow, you look beautiful." I told her. Madisons face turned a dark shade of pink.

"Thank you, and you don't look to bad yourself." She told me. I smiled at her and held out my arm, she linked arms with me and we walked to the truck. I opened the door for her, and she giggled. I ran to my side and got in. I started my truck and we drove off.

"So Madison I want to, um make a guess that back in Kentucky you weren't complimented alot." I said as we were driving.

"What makes you say that?" She said looking at me.

"Well its just like every time I give you a small complement you blush really giggle, I'm not complaining, I like it, if makes you even more cute."

"Did I do it just then?" She asked me. I looked over at her, yes she did.

"Yes, I just can't understand how a beautiful girl, like yourself, isint use to boys falling at your feet, and showering you with compliments." I looked over at her she was blushing like crazy.

"Well I'm just going to say that Kentucky is a different place, and the boys are not like you." She said. I looked over at her and just smiled at her.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means, the guys are ass holes. Or at least the ones where where I came from." I relised that her touchy subject, has to be something related to that, so I let it be.

We pulled into the theater and I got out and opened the door for Madison. And this time she didn't take my arm, but she took my hand. We walked into the movie theater hand in hand. My insides were freaking out but on the outside I was trying to keep my cool.

We watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I found out that Madison was a huge fan of Harry Potter. Witch was great because I was to.

"The book was so much better." Madison said as we walked hand in hand to my truck.

"Yea it's was, but the movie wasant half bad." I said to her.

"Wait a minute, your a Harry Potter fan?"

"Yea, they are the all time best books." I told her as I opened my truck door for her. "So are you hungry?" I asked as I got in the truck.

"No I'm full of pop corn." Madison said then cuddled up on me. I drove to her house. It was a short drive, probably because I didn't want it to end.

"Well we are here." I said. Then I got out and opened the door for her.

"Darren, I had a really good time." She said as we walked up to her porch.

"So did I." I said. Madison looked up at me with her beautiful blue eyes. Then I leaned in and kissed her. She didn't pull away, she kissed me back. It felt like fire, like electricity was going through my veins. We kissed.
