Emma's POV.

Nick takes out his phone and looks through his music library, and lands on the artist Green Day. I've heard of them, but I never listened to their music. He starts a song named "Redundant", I feel myself make a face. I didn't normally listen to this type of music, I always listened to country. As the song went on, I felt myself falling in love with the music. The drumbeat, the guitar, the way you could hear his accent when he sings.

"I love this band." I say.

"I'm glad, I have lots more to show you. I'll make a list and text it to you." he says.

"Okay" I say softly.

"Shall we catch some fireflies?" he asks.

"Yes, we shall." I laugh. He starts to climb down the tree then jumps down to the ground. I climb down after him, but my foot slips and I cut my hand on a branch. I yelp out in pain, as I fall out of the tree. Expecting to crash to the ground, I feel strong arms catch me. I look up and see Nick's worried face.

"Are you okay?" he asks, searching my eyes for any sign of pain.

"Yes I'm fine"

"Okay, good. You really scared me there." he says, putting me down on my feet.

"Well, I'm fine" I say with a smile. "Now lets catch some fireflies!"

We spent probably an hour jumping around, catching them in our hands then putting them into the jars. The jars were glowing with color. We were laying on our stomachs looking at the two jars.

"Can I keep this?" I say pointing to the jar, full of vibrant fireflies.

"Of course, just poke some holes in the top so they don't die." he jokes.

"Ha, okay. Well I should probably go," I say looking at my watch, it was almost 3:00 in the morning.

"Okay," he says as I start to get up. "Maybe sometime we can come here and watch the sunrise?" he says with hope in his voice.

"Definitely" I say. "I'll see you Monday?"

"Yes you will, save a spot on the bus for me. I'll text you those bands I want you to listen to, then we can discuss them on the bus." he smiles.

"Okay, thanks for inviting me here. This may be my new favorite spot." I smile. "Bye, Nick!"

"Bye, Emma."

I walk into my room, and put the jar with fireflies on my nightstand. My eyes start to close as I was watching the beautiful colors. I think about the amazing night I just had with Nick. I wouldn't mind doing that every night.
