I rushed inside my house to grab my stuff. I was leaving. I was actually leaving this place. With Connor. And Kayla. I forgot to tell Connor that detail, he probably won't even care since he already knows her. Such a small town I live in, and I'm leaving. I'm so happy I could literally explode into tiny pieces of rainbows. Maybe not, but still.

I opened my mother's bedroom door and found her and her boyfriend sleeping together. Naked. I shook the images off my head and closed the door, not making any noise in the process. As I was walking towards my bedroom I saw my dog, Jagga. I had her since I was a kid and she was my company when mom went out to drink. She was wiggling her tail and giving me a dog smile. I kneeled down in front of her and started petting her.

"I wish I could bring you with me." I said as and she licked me. I smiled softly at her and gave her a kiss on the head. "Take good care of mom and don't let that stupid guy do something to you." She licked me again and I stood up, opening my bedroom door.

It looked the same as always. The walls were a dark blue color, almost gray. I painted them myself with a little by of help from my ex girlfriend, Lisa. My guitar was against my bed, inside it's bag. My desk was filled with papers and lyrics that I wrote.

I opened my closet, which was in front of my bed, and took out a bag. It was black and empty. I stuffed some clothes into it, some I know I'd need, and money I hid from my mom, I knew I was going to use it some day. I decided to bring my guitar with me, since I was so passionate about music. I closed my closet and turned around. I looked around my room again, memorizing every detail before I left. I looked at my wall and saw a painting I did a while ago. It was a shadow, just the silhouette. It had green eyes and it was holding a flower. I remember drawing it after one of those nightmares. It was 3am and I couldn't go back to sleep so I started drawing my dream. I decided to snap a picture of it with my phone, just for the memory.

I walked out of my room, leaving some clothes and pillows under my blanket so my mom wouldn't suspect anything. When I walked out I saw some keys. It was Jack's car keys. I quickly took it and ran out of my house, walking towards me and Connor's meeting point.

When I closed my front door I saw Connor holding his arm and I could see some tears on his face.
"I need to use the bathroom please." Was the only thing he said before I opened the door and he rushed inside, opening the bathroom door with his elbow. I stood there, confusion written all over my face. I walked towards the bathroom and heard water. And Connor hissing in pain, just like I did when I hit the floor after the windows exploded. I heard toilet paper being ripped and Connor sniffing. A million thoughts were going through my mind, but I couldn't focus on any. I'm going to figure out this boy, even if it's the last thing I'll do.

He walked out and looked a lot better. His eyes weren't red anymore and he had a little smile on his face. He looked at his feet and started walking out of the house.

"Thank you." He was still looking down while grabbing his bag. The same bag I saw when we met. Kayla was walking towards us. I gave her a little peck on the lips and she smiled.
"Hey there." I sounded tired, probably because I was. I looked over at Connor and he looked confused and a bit hurt.
"Why is she here?" He asked me. I locked eyes with him and saw the green shade that I felt familiar with. God the beautiful green eyes. I wish it didn't belong to Connor though, he's a guy, and I'm not gay.

"She's coming with us." Was my only answer. He muttered something under his breath that I couldn't understand. "I stole my mom's boyfriend car keys. We have a car now." I grabbed the keys and unlocked the car. Kayla gave me a kiss on the cheek and smiled at Connor. He was staring at her, with clenched jaws and furrowed eyebrows. Kinda hot, not gonna lie.

I sat on the driver's seat and Kayla sat next to me, leaving the backseat for Connor. He finished placing our bags on the trunk and entered the car, putting his seatbelt on quite aggressively.

We've been driving for two hours now. It's currently 7pm and Connor is holding the wheel.
"We need to find somewhere to stay the night." Kayla spoke up. She was sitting on the backseat, me and Connor on the front.
"There's a cheap motel a few miles away." I said while looking at a outdoor.
"Ok let's go." Connor's knuckles were white, he was using all of his strength to hold the wheel.
"Connor are you okay?" I touched his leg and his head snapped towards it. I took out my hand slowly, and he seemed to relax a bit.

After that, the drive was a little less awkward. Me and Connor were chatting about random things while Kayla was sleeping on the backseat.
"Are you two dating now?" Connor suddenly asked, changing our conversation about gendered clothes and tumblr.
"Yeah, I guess we are." I responded and Connor looked down. "Why?"
"Just wondering" he was still looking down. Something was bothering him but it wasn't my position to know what, so I simply brushed it off.

"We're here." I hear Connor said and looked through the window. A short building with old windows and red walls. The name was "Red Nights". Great. I woke up Kayla and took our stuff out of the trunk. When we walked inside we saw a lady with brown ponytails and a bored face. She had her elbows rested on the table and was holding her chin with her hand. She was almost falling asleep, and jumped at the sound of the door opening.
"Hi, welcome to Red Nights, my name is Amanda, how can I help you?" She sounded so bored I felt bad for her. She was looking at her nails and I could see the poorly put makeup on her eyes and cheeks.
"We need a room for the night." Kayla said. Amanda looked at us head to toe.
"The bedrooms have a double bed and a couch, is that okay?" She told us while typing something on the old computer in front of her.
"Yeah it's okay." Connor said while putting some money in front of her. Where did he get that? "Is this okay?" Amanda took the money and counted the dollar bills.
"Yes it is. Your room is the first one to the left" she gave us a key and took her cellphone, probably to text someone.

We opened our room door and walked in. A small couch was positioned in front of the bed, which had a red blanket on and white pillows. The place was tidy, except the table next to the couch, that had a drink spilled on it.
"Great." Connor said while throwing the can out. "I'll sleep on the couch and you two can share the bed." He placed his bags next to the white couch and entered the bathroom next to the bed. Kayla looked at me and smiled, putting her bag on the floor and taking her shirt off. I turned around, not really wanting to see the strip tease show.

After Kayla was already laying on the bed and Connor was cuddling his bag on the couch, I decided to lay down. I left the lamp on my bedside table on, Kayla was scared of the dark. As I was covering myself with the covers, I saw Connor looking at the ceiling. His hair was laid flat on his forehead and his fingers were tracing patterns on his arms. He was wearing a long sleeve shirt and a bracelet around his left arm. I stared at him, his perfectly shaped nose, the thin lips that had an amazing smile, the cute little ears that fit perfectly on his head. His hands that were too tiny and probably fit perfectly in mine. When I looked at his face he was staring at me too. His green eyes I grew to love, the green eyes that I felt safe with.

It's 00am, and I'm starting to fall for the green eyed boy.
