They Came From the Stars

Chapter 1

I'm hiding inside a bush. Yes inside, I know that sounds like something people do in cartoons, and if you did it for real it would hurt. And to be honest it does. A lot actually..But there's just enough dead branches inside that I tore off for some space to sit in the middle. Plus I'm pretty small to be a 15-year-old so I'm doing good in here. You know, besides the few bleeding scratches I have now.

As soon as I hear the sound of crunching leaves behind me I duck down even more to hide. My heart is racing so fast now and I plan on running. I could never out run him though, because I know how much faster he is than me. I watch him walk in front of the bush facing away from me, then he walks away and disappears in the trees behind me. *That was so close,* I think to myself. And I plan on running to a tree close by and climbing it to hide. But right before I get up someone pulls me out of the bush and I start yelling really loud.

"Stop! Ow! Your screams are gonna make my ears bleed! Haha" he said as he starts tickling me. I laugh and grab his hands in attempt to get him to stop. This is my boyfriend, Seth. He took me out to the woods behind the cabin for a walk, and I decided I was gonna hide from him. I like hanging out with him on the weekend like this. It lets us create more memories before I have to move away..

I turn around to look at him and smile. "So...what now," I ask him, "should we go back inside for a snack or continue our walk?" Wrapping an arm around his neck, I go on my tippy toes to reach his face hoping for a kiss. I'm much shorter than him so yes, this is very necessary. He gives me a quick kiss before backing up, grinning, and then he takes off running! "Hey," I protest, "that's not fair!!!" And now I'm running as fast as I can to catch up.

It's not long until I realize he's leading me back to the cabin. For some reason everything around me seems to be getting darker and I can't run in much of a straight line. Maybe going back really was a good idea, cuz I need food. I get like this a lot, but never this bad. I think I'm going to make it so I don't stop running or say anything. Out of no where I trip over a root of a tree that's sticking out of the ground and fall. I hit my head on a tree on my way down and nearly pass out. Everything is so dark and I'm struggling to breath a little bit. Then the sound of crunching leaves gets louder and I hear Seth's voice in a distance.

"Jess! I'm coming," I hear him say panicked, "Jessica!!" I try to look up at him and see that's he's not even as far as I hear him to be. Just then everything goes black and I'm out.

I wake up on the couch with a thin blanket on me. I try to sit up and look around to find where the smell of pizza is coming from, and then I spot Seth. I open my mouth to ask what happened but instead I ask, "Pizza?" Really Jessica..? Really? Your head is in pain after passing out in the woods and the first thing you say is 'pizza'?

He turns around to see me and smiles that beautiful smile his. Exited he says, "Hey you're awake." And he grabs the two boxes of pizza from the counter and hurries to the couch. Sitting down next me he opens a box and looks at me. He waited for me to wake up before he ate any of it.. Why?

We end up eating all the pizza while watching movies and then playing a few video games together. It was Sunday already though, so we have to go back home for school tomorrow. Which kind of sucks, but it's whatever. His mom comes downstairs and asks us what we did all day and told her how much fun we had going through the woods and watching movies and stuff. Then she said "Well it's getting late, so let's start getting ready to go okay?"

Back to our separate rooms to pack the few things we brought to the cabin. I'm more then half way done when I start thinking of how hard it's gonna be to leave him at the end of the school year. After my things are packed I decide to go check on him to ignore my negative thoughts. Yeah, I know he's fine, but I'm checking up on him anyway.

When I get there, I see the door is open and he's sitting on the bed. I stand at the door way and watch him stare at a wall for a while. I notice how all his things are packed. He's so deep in thought that he doesn't even realize that I'm standing there, plus he's facing away and I'm quiet so I guess that's why too. I walk over to him quietly and jump towards him over the bed.

With my arms wrapped around him now I whisper in his ear, "Boo..." Suddenly he grabs me and pins me on the ground! *Well then,* I think to myself, *was not expecting that one..*  He's looking at me seriously for a while and when I start laughing he does too. That laugh..can't get enough of it. He leans down and kisses my nose.

Now I'm laying in my bed. Just thinking about everything, you know? I'm really lucky to be able to call Seth mine. I'm lucky to have the few friends I have, and I'm super lucky to have anything really. I love most of the people around me, but a lot of them don't realize that. But that's my fault..I never really express how grateful I am to them.

Now I'm going to a new school soon. Actually I'm moving to a different state.. I don't know where, I keep forgetting no matter how many times my mom tells me. I just really don't want to, but I have no choice. I'm running out of time to tell them all how much I care about them. *Tomorrow,* I tell myself, *I'll let them all know tomorrow.* I say it almost every night, but it never really ends up happening.. I fall asleep with those thoughts in my head.
