Difficult Decisions

A Walk Under The Stars

Quick Author's note. Pole. :3 I'm sorry, I'm obsessed with this happening. Alex's POV:

I walk outside, my eyes taking not even a second to adjust. "How can you see out here? With sunglasses too!" I smile. "I've lived in darkness. I prefer dark and cold compared to light and warm. Plus, I think my eyes are already used to never seeing sunlight without a filter. Come on! I wanna show you something!" I grab his hand and start running. When I see the place I don't pay attention to what's around me and run into a pole. "Aargh! POLE! WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?!" I yell, spinning and falling on my back. "Ow, at least I didn't run into it face-first. But my shoulder is now fucking stupid." Sean starts laughing. "Only you would talk to a pole." I look up at him. "Nuh-uh! I've seen you talk to plenty of objects! You named an eye Sam." Sean nods, helping me up. "Touche." I grab his hand and walk the rest of the way. "What's this?" I look at him. "Outdoors laser tag. I called some of my friends so we can have a full match."

Right once I said that a whole group of people came out of hiding with supplies. They hand us equipment. "Why do you and me have different equipment?" I laugh. "It's us against them. I hope you're good at not dying." I run to the starting point, dragging Sean with me. "Are you crazy? Two against ten?" "Yes and yes. Don't worry, I suck at this too." I say. The starting buzzer goes off. I shoot three people down and save Sean from getting shot. I shoot a couple more people, their vest's blinking. "Only four can shoot right now. Be careful." I then run off, looking for a person.

-Time skip brought by winning-

The end buzzer goes off right once Sean gets shot. "Wow, we got hit twice, and they got hit over twenty times. We are BOSS!" I yell. We hand in our equipment. "Matty, that was fun! Maybe some other time we can do that." Matty smiles at me then glares at Sean. Sean shifts under his gaze, uncomfortable. "Aw, don't be like that! Your still my- um, hm. I never realized how racist that would be if I counted myself as a human."

I end it off there and Sean and I walk to the park. "What do you mean? Count yourself as human? Racist?" I laugh, shaking my head. "Lets sit down." I lay down on the blanket that I put there earlier. Sean lays next to me. "That was fun." I hold Sean's hand, noticing him blush. "If we could actually see more stars, it would be beautiful. But I see something way more beautiful than stars way closer." I turn, staring at an already blushing Sean.

Sean sits up. I push myself up, curious as to what he was doing. He looks around the dark, abandoned park. Cars silently speeding by. The moon making everything look silvery. He looks me in the eyes. I get lost in his beautiful blue eyes. I don't notice him getting closer until I feel his warm breath on my skin. Our lips barely touch when a car honking startles us. I jolt away. "Wow. Fucking drivers. Lets go check on Georgia and Mark." I say, remembering her somniphobia. I get up, helping Sean up.

We silently walk back to the houses. I open the door for Sean, walking in with him afterwards. Mark and Georgia walk in, holding hands tightly. Sean yells, "Hey guys! I see you two seem to be getting on pretty well." He waves his hands around. Me being worried, asks, "You okay Georgia?" She looks at me. "Well, I can't really lie to you... Even if I wanted to." Georgia smiles weirdly, making me laugh. We head to my room to talk. I turn to her, serious. "You're okay? No injuries from the monsters?" She shrugs. "I fell off my bed. Mark made the creatures disappear." I look at her, bewildered. "What? Wow. Really? If he can do that he is most definitely your soul mate." Georgia beams. "Hell yeah he is! Oh, american speech is wearing off on me!" I laugh. Okay. So Mark most definitely is her safe haven. I wonder if he likes her? Well duh. "What happened between you and Jack?" I smile at how awkward the ending was. "We went for a midnight stroll, played laser tag two-vee-ten. Won, then went to the park. I flirted with him, who merely blushed at my amazing lines. And we semi-kissed when an actual semi honked and I freaked. We then walked here." Georgia stares at me. "You got scared by a semi honking, so you hardly kissed Sean?" I blush. "Yeah... I-I, it was the perfect set-up, perfectly silent. It was like, super quiet! It's like playing Slender and you hear a bang. I freaked and ruined the moment. Ugh! Sean must hate me now! So what about you and Mark? Any looove?" I say, smiling. "Nope." I frown.

Okay. I'll fix that. "Mark! Come in here!" Mark walks in, confused. "Yeah? What?" I roll my eyes. "I get you condoms and you haven't even kissed her? Shame on you!" I walk out, locking the door. Georgia bangs on the door. "Let us out!" I smile. "Good luck Mark!" I walk to Sean, Ryan, and Matthias. I sit down in between Sean and Matthias. "Whatcha' watching?" "Doctor Who." "I thought you said you didn't watch that stuff?" "Ryan had the TV first." Sean answers. "Why is Mark and Georgia banging on the door?" Matthias asks. "I locked them in." "Why?" "I didn't buy those condoms for show." Sean looks down, blushing. I notice immediately and turn my head to him, confused. Okayyy. "Oh, why is Ryan and Matthias in my house?" I ask no one in particular. "Georgia was screaming. We came to check on her." I nod.

"Okay. I'm going to go get something I left at Mark and Ryan's house. Be right back." Matthias stands up. "I'll unlock it for you." I smile. "Thank you." I walk over, going into Marks room and looking for the necklace and small bag of Skittles I dropped when Ryan wouldn't wake up. I hear a click. Freezing, I slowly turn around to see that Matthias had just locked the door. "Oh, wow. Did you just accidentally lock us in?" Matthias smiles an evil smile. I face-palm. "You did it on purpose. Well, I'm fucked."
