Nick's POV
I made my way up to our window and climbed through. The moonlight shined upon her and a smile formed as my body relaxed. I made my way to our bed and kissed her forehead. As her eyes slowly opened, I got tense again.
"Nick? What are you doing? What time is it?" She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"It's time for you to get ready for our date," I smirked helping her up.
I made my up to her window and climbed through. The moonlight shined upon her and a smile formed, then quickly faded. 'What if she says no?' What if her parents find out and ban me to never see her again? A thirteen year old boy has just snuck into a 11 year old girl's room. Nothing creepy about that right?
My stomach grumbled at the thought that maybe I shouldn't of drank two glasses of chocolate milk before coming here. I cuffed my mouth and let out a gag.
"Nick? Is that you? What are you doing over here?" I sucked in my breath, swallowed then made my way to her.
"Will you go on a date with me? Kevin's outside..waiting for us..and and.." She silenced me by placing her finger on my lips.
"My parents are out of town tonight," she smiled as my heart flopped within my chest. 'Okay Nick, she said yes..I think?..Just be cool and don't think about the fact you could lose your drink at any moment.'
I helped her down the tree and we made way to the red Toyota. My feet slipped from underneath me and I fell to the grass as my date tripped over me. 'Way to play it cool Nick.'
"This is going to be a long night," I heard Kevin say to himself.
Joe's POV
I placed my seatbelt on as the two made way to the truck. Nick went to open the back door and hit Shannon in the head with it.
"Oh brother.." I whispered to myself as I covered my face with my hands. Nick panicked as she laughed it off.
"Maybe this isn't a good idea," my brother implied. I looked at him through my mirror.
"No really, I'm okay," she assured while rubbing her head.
"But.." She silenced him with a kiss on the cheek as he started to relax.
"I'm fine, I promise."
Nick's POV
What the fuck is wrong with me? All I had to do was not fuck up and what happened? I fucked up. Hitting her head with the door, tripping over myself at thirteen.
"Nick?" I glanced down as she gently grabbed my left hand. The way she looked at me said it all. "Is everything okay?" I slightly smiled as she leaned towards the window. She pulled me with her and the sweet scent of vanilla surrounded me as I took it in.
"Do I smell like cupcakes?" She joked and I bolted up.
"What?"
"What? I found some perfume in the bathroom." Right then and there my heart broke.
I saw Joe's eyes looking at me through the mirror. He lowered his eyebrows as his eyes basically said, "I'm sorry."
"Did I do something wrong?" She asked sitting us up. I gave a genuine smile, to let her know she didn't. It was all me.

It took us a few hours to get to the place. The place where a giant oak tree stands, right beside a fallen one. I remembered this place like the back of my hand.
