Just Breathe (Book 1)

Chapter 4

"This is outragious Crimson! Where are we going? We have been driving for 20 minutes in silence."

"Well I can break the silence" I smiled.

"now where are we going? Just look." I indicated to the mall in front of us.

"Why here Crimson!? You know that all the people drive me crazy."

"I have saved money for an emergency and this here... It's a emergency last night I was thinking. Lets not let people control us! lets be who we really are I know what I like and I shouldn't let anyone tell me otherwise you know what you like now lets show it off. Black and grey are the only things we have in our closets. that Jacob is about to change. You like what? The color red, video games, and the baseball team yet nobody knows this because we hide. We hide in this shell of concealment, we are our only friends and that is an amazing thing, but lets find those people who can help us live get out of this... This antisocial person... It's just a fear we hide behind and Jacob today is our day to stand up for ourselves. Today we start with personality shown through clothes."

I brought tears to Jacobs eyes and I had nothing else to say I wiped my mind clean. I've never seen Jacob cry and at this point I couldn't tell if it was good or bad. All I could do was hug Jacob. I got out of the car and walked around to him.
The wind was light. That's kind of how I felt light. Everything off my mind not holding me back at least for the time being. I opened Jacobs door and told him to get out. There was not a option with him getting out or not.

"Now Jacob. I need a hug." He smiled at me and got out of the car.

"Thank you Crimson."

"For what?" Jacob smiled at me and went on.

"For making me so happy. You have opened my eyes to what today is. To who I am really and I'm ready to express that. now I want to tell you something, I have been thinking about for some time. Crimson. I love you. Yeah! I love you! Not only that,but I'm ready to ask. Crimson. Um... Will you be my girlfriend?"

I couldnt come up with an answer all that came out was little sounds that just sound like a sheep. My shock was endless and honestly I had no idea. I never thought of Jacob that way I had to think.
"I uh I ca- I Jacob I need time to think about this."

"Alright." Said Jacob
"Lets go to breakfast The mall doesn't open till 10 and it is only 9. We can walk over to that IHop and it's on me."

I smiled to agree. I grabed Jacobs hand. I begin to skip and pull on Jacob to hurry along. Jacob was laughing at my yet still he wanted to walk. Eventually I walked with him, but still holding his hand.
