Come As You Are

Chapter Three

He had his arms wrapped around her waist and smiled with his forehead against hers.

"I've missed you too Natalie."

She gently kissed him and smiled, she wanted nothing more in the world than that boy, she could stand there holding him for hours apon hours. She had hated having to leave him and not see him. Not even a year in of their relationship she had to move, and he had to go to juvy, for stupid reasons. She didn't get to see him the summer he turned seventeen and when she turned forteen, and she missed him terribly. But once he got out he got contact of her on a social media site and she was so happy that he was okay.

She held his hand as they walked over to the tree where she was laying before. She lit him a cigarette and sat there and watched him. He was just so amazing in her eyes, everything she ever wanted, all she wanted in life, was sitting there in front of her again. She let out a tear and wiped it and he leaned forward to kiss her.

"I love you so much Christian.."

He took another drag from the cig then smiled.

"I love you too Natalie."

She sat next to him and buried her face in his chest as he put his arm around her. She didn't want this moment to end...

But of course that's not how life works. Her phone rang and she answered it.

"Hello? Grandpa whatcha need? Oh you're coming to pick us up now? Okay thanks. See you in five minutes."

She turned to Christian.

"He's picking up some booze for himself and us, than he's coming to get us."

"Alright sounds like a plan."

He responded while flipping through his pink IPod touch.

"What are you doing?"

He looked up at her and smiled just as a song came on. Not just any old song, the song he had played one night the summer when they first got together. They had been lying together in the same graveyard as they were now. She looked up at him and smiled.

"I'm low on gas, and you need a jacket by Pierce The Veil"

He shook his head.

"Yep"

She smiled and held his hand and layed in his lap. As they sang together.

"So keep in happiness and torture me while I tell you let's go in style, a million hooks around a million ways to die, darling it's cold outside."

She smiled and held his hand listening to him softly sing the rest of the words. She could get used to this, she already was.

"And I will soon forget the color of your eyes, and you'll forget mine."

She smiled and got up and grabbed her bag, her grandfather would be there any moment. She turned to him and smiled as the song ended.

"Last night you said you ended up in Palm Springs dancing on tables.."

She kissed him once the song ended.

"You have no idea how many times I have listened to that song in the past three years."

She smiled and kissed her softly. Just than her grandfather pulled up in his baby blue pickup truck, not that you could tell what color it was, since it was so dark out.

"Hey Ken, it's been a while."

Her grandfather smiled.

"It's really has, but I'm glad to have you back around. You make my granddaughter really happy."

They got in and headed for Ken's house in an even smaller town outside of the one they were in now. She held Christians hand all the way there, she wanted to be with him as much as possible till she had to go back to Washington, two states away from him.
