   He brought his arm back and rubbed the back of his neck. His breathing was heavier than it had been minutes ago. "I think we could both use some sleep." He said with an attempted smile. I tried to smile back. "True, but I'm honestly not sure if i'll be able to fall asleep." The idea of sleeping and peace seemed foreign right now. There was too much shit filling up my mind at the moment. I knew I had a lot to think over, but I can just push it till morning. "I don't want to keep you awake. I'm just hoping taking in some fresh air can clear my head. Goodnight Luke." I glanced down over the edge of the balcony awkwardly. "Actually, hold on." He said with a smirk. He walked through the door out of my view.

   I waited a couple minutes until he finally returned. He carried two large bundled up sleeping bags in his hands. "You up for a little camp out?" He said biting his lip looking up at me. This time when I finally took a moment to look at him I noticed just how mesmorizing his features were. He had a defined jawline and his dimples were perfectly visible when he smiled. He lifted one of the sleeping bag bundles at me. I couldn't help but laugh a bit at how nervous he looked. "Sure. Why not?" He tossed the sleeping bag at my balcony and I caught it in my arms. "Nice catch, Alice." "Thanks." I smiled to myself while I looked down at the sleeping bag trying to figure out how to undo it. Luke chuckled at how stumped i was over undoing the sleeping bag. Finally it fell open and onto the concrete.

   "What kind of music do you like? I always use some music to clear my head." He said once we were both laying down and I had grabbed a pillow from inside. "I really listen to anything. If I like the song, i'll listen to it." After I had spoken I heard a familiar tune. "~Don't go to bed yet love. I think its too early and we just need a little time to ourselves.~"

   As the verses filled my head and I stared up at the stars, I could actually feel my eyelids getting heavy. "Goodnight Alice. Sleep tight, babe." Was the last thing I heard before my thoughts drifted off.
