Chapter 13

He pulls something out of his pocket and holds it up. It's a ticket AND A FREAKING GARAGE PASS. Compose yourself Abbi. "Will you please accompany me to the next race?" he asked me
"YES!!" I say excitedly. Holy crap I'm going to a NASCAR race. My first one! and I get to be with my favorite guy in the whole world.
"When do we leave?" I ask him
"Tomorrow. 6am" he said giving me a sweet smile.
"6am? are you serious?" I ask him
"Yes.." he says raising his eyebrow
I give a loud groan.
"I'm just gonna apologize now because I am not a morning person. I'm sorry for what I may say/do in the morning" I say
He laughs, "I understand. It's okay"

We get back to his house. It's already 1am. "So I say since we have to be up in just a couple hours anyways, we just stay up the rest of the night" I say grabbing an apple from his counter
"I'd love to but I'm gonna go to bed. I need at least some sleep so I won't be a monster in the morning" he replies
I sigh. "But you'd be a cute monster" I said giving him a smile
"Well thank you" he replied and went off to bed.
It's just me, myself, and I in this big house. I have no idea what to do. I won't be able to sleep and then easily wake up, so I decide to just stay up. I grab a blanket and decide to go outside and sit on a swing. I look up staring at the stars. They're especially bright tonight. I heard a door open and a sweet voice fill the air, "Sweetie, would you like a sweatshirt?" Mrs. Nemechek asked me
"No thank you, Ma'am. I'm good" I reply back to her
"Okay but if you want one you can steal one of John Hunter's" she said laughing and closing the door. I lay back and close my eyes. All I hear is the sound of nature. I hear another door open but I don't open my eyes. It's probably just his mom letting out their dog. But then I feel someone sit by me. It's John Hunter. I open my eyes and turn to him "I thought you were going to bed" I say smiling at him. I could tell he had fallen asleep for a little while.
"I couldn't sleep" he said. I knew there was another reason but I just dropped it. He scoots closer to me and pulls me to his chest. My ear is against his heart. I can hear and and feel his heart beating. It's such a beautiful sound. I could stay like this forever. Suddenly, I heard a noise so I jumped up. "It's okay it's just a car going by" he laughs. I get scared very easily. Someone snapping scares me. I lay back again looking once more at the stars. I see JH's hand twitching. I can tell he's wanting to hold my hand but doesn't want to make me uncomfortable. I take his hand in mine and I could see him taking in a deep breath. Almost a relived breath. I laugh lightly to myself and lay my head on his shoulder. This. This is what I've longed for in a relationship, and I have it with my dream guy. This feeling is something I never want to forget or lose.
