chapter ten

After realizing where Ashley directed Dallon, they were at an abandoned house.

"An abandoned house? Seriously?" says Dallon.

"Uh, huh. We used to live here but things happened and had to move to a smaller house, but the view from the back house to the city is pretty nice. It's great being here with people you love," Ashley says smiling at Josh as she gets out of the car.

"This is dangerous, you know," Tyler says frightened.

"C'mon, Tyler, it'll be fun," reassures Josh. Tyler smiles and feels safer with Josh's answer.

They all enter the empty house. They look cautiously around, taking step by step slowly, each step following a creaking sound. They all feel pretty frightened not knowing exactly the reason since they're really shouldn't be any.

Ashley looks around the empty first room, smiling to herself as if memories of her childhood came back to her. The smile turned into a frown and shakes her head like she's regretting something. Instead she tells the guts to follow her to the backyard.

The backyard itself is pretty big, and empty. The house is also quite high giving them a view of the glowing city.

They sit down in a circle on the ground, hesitant at first since they are sitting on cold, damp ground. Ashley starts uncapping one of the bottles of cheap wine.

"I only found these two cheap wines, I know, I'm so fancy," Ashley says handing over the wine to Dallon, "we can all take sips or share."

As usual, this was Dallon's first time drinking. He nervously picks the wine. He wants his first time to be all the way in. He takes the wine from Ashley's hand, uncaps it and takes a swig of it. The fuzzy, liquid taking over his body.

"Damn, Dallon, calm down," jokes Ashley, "Josh? Tyler? Want anything?"

"Well, I'll just take the wine," Josh says taking the wine from Dallon.

Tyler doesn't say anything and nods his head no. Ashley don't take time to pressure him and takes the wine all for herself.

Dallon and Josh share one of the bottles, constantly taking turns. While Ashley is happily drinking her own wine. Tyler is now laying on his back, looking at the stars and talking and rambling on. None of them having any idea of what he's talking about, not that they're being rude, but they're just drunk.

They sit there for a couple of more minutes. Just stargazing and talking. It wasn't until Ashley and Josh went somewhere else inside the empty house to leave Tyler and Dallon all by themselves. But it gave them a good time to talk.

"Do you like Brendon?" blurts out Tyler.

"Well, I didn't like him at first, but now things are just ... changing," admits Dallon. He couldn't believe he said things are "changing". Are things really changing?

"Sometimes you gotta bleed to know you're
alive and have a soul, but it takes someone to show you how," Tyler says.

Dallon smiles at Tyler's response. His words are poetic and beautiful and Dallon adored them. He wants to listen to Tyler talk and talk about whatever it comes to mind. He is poetry.

"But I'm scared, Tyler," Dallon confesses. Dallon himself isn't even sure why he is so scare. But it makes him realize that this is the first time he's falling in love.

"Don't be, love is scary, anyway," Tyler responds back.

His phone starts ringing, Brendon's name on the phone screen. Dallon quickly unlocks his phone to answer. Thinking about he wishes he didn't answer the phone so quickly, he doesn't really want to come off as desperate.
