4th of July in Canada

I paced back and forth in my living room waiting for Matt to come. I had an eventful day planned and I couldn't wait to spend it with him. I knew it was going to be the best day ever! The funny thing is that we live in Canada but celebrate the 4th of July. Matt was originally born in the U.S. so that's why we celebrate it.

 I heard the doorbell ring and I bolted to the door. When I opened it, I saw Matt standing there running his hand through his hair. I gave him a hug and he lifted me up. 

"I missed you so much." I whispered into his shoulder. He spun me around and laughter filled the air. 

"I missed you too. So what are we doing today?" I gave him a smile and walked towards my car. I looked back and spun the keys around my finger.

"First we are going to rent a motorcycle." His eyes grew a lot bigger and he seemed worried.

"Are you sure? Have you even ridden a motorcycle before?"

"Well yes of course I have! Now let's go!" We got in the car and I started to drive. I raced down the street and to the motorcycle shop. 

"Slow down! Are you trying to get us killed?" 

"Calm down." When we got to the place, I picked out the perfect bike. It was a Harley Davidson that was black and it had an amazing engine. I grabbed to helmets and handed one to Matt. I sat in the front and gripped the handles. 

The feeling of driving a motorcycle is exhilarating. It felt like it was just me and the road, and well Matt behind me. I was going to surprise Matt on where we were going to go next. I knew he would be excited.

Once we reached our next destination, I parked the motorcycle.

"What exactly is this place?"

"Cliff jumping." I felt my smile growing on my face. We walked towards the cliffs and where we were going to jump. I guessed that the drop was about 80 feet. I could already feel my adrenaline running. 

"Hey can I borrow your phone? I can't seem to find mine." Matt asked.

"Here you go." I handed him my phone and grabbed my wetsuit.

"Where are we going next?" He looked nervous.

"Shooting range!"

Matt's POV

I turned on Sam's phone and immediately saw a picture of Shawn and her. She was sitting in his lap and her head was rested on his shoulder. I typed in her password and called Shawn.

"Sam?"

"No it's  Matt."

"Oh. Why did you call?"

"I need you to come now. I think Sam is on some kind of suicide mission or something. First we drove motorcycles, now we are going cliff jumping, and next we are going to a shooting range."

"Shit. I will be there as soon as I can. Text me the address and try to stall ok?"

"Do you know what is making her do these things?"

"Ya, me." The call ended and I texted him the address. I saw Sam come out of the bathroom in a wetsuit. I walked towards her and handed her the phone.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready as I will ever be." When we reached the edge of the cliff, I told her that I was going to wait a little bit before I jumped. She called me a chicken and leaped off the cliff. It was scary to watch her body falling. I waited a few minutes hoping Shawn would be here soon and to my luck he was.

"Hey how's it going?" He asked. I just pointed towards the water where Sam was swimming around, probably waiting for me to join her.

"I am going to walk down there but you have to jump. She is expecting you anyways."

 I agreed and got ready. I couldn't believe I was actually doing this. I ran and jumped, hoping I would live. I felt the air whooshing by me and it was definitely scary. Water rushed up my nose as I plunged into it. I hurried to the surface and looked around for Sam. I finally saw her at the edge with her head rested on her knees. I couldn't tell if she was crying or not. I saw Shawn walk over to her and pull her into his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. 

Of course I felt jealous because I have basically been in love with her since I met her, but I wanted her to be happy. I swam towards the shore and headed to the place where they were sitting.

"I'm going to head home. I had fun today." 

"I am sorry for ruining it." She whispered as I gave her a hug.

"Don't be. It was fun except for feeling like I could possibly die." I waved goodbye and left Shawn and Sam so they could spend the day together.
