" cmon!" I say pulling George by his wrist.

" where are we going?" He asks as we turn the corner on my apartment complex.

" just follow me." I say finding where the latter is to get on to the roof. " up here!" I say starting to climb up the latter. Not much illuminating it but the moonlight above us. The sound of crickets was present.

I soon get to the roof and set the bottle of wine down and wait for George. He was close behind me and I stretch my arms out and smile.

" we're here!" I say spinning around.

" the roof?" He asks.

" yep. " I say walking up to him. " look, you can kinda see the city." I say pointing to the distance.

" yeah, you can. That's pretty cool." He says putting his arm around me.

" I come up here a lot." I say picking up the wine bottle and taking a swig. " sit." I say sitting down. He sits next to me and I pass him the bottle.

" do you come up here a lot?" He asks.

" eh. Yeah I suppose. " I say. " do you have any cigarettes?" I ask pulling my knees to my chest.

" yeah." He says pulling a carton out of his pocket pulling a stick out and placing it between my lips, then lighting it for me.

" cigarettes kill, you know." He says lighting one for him self. This making me laugh a bit and I take the cigarette between my fingers.

" oh well." I say sighing and taking another drag laying my head on Georges shoulder. Looking to the lights of the city in the distance.

" I love the city." I say.

" do you?" He asks.

" yeah. All the lights, the opportunities. I dunno. I've always loved the city. Always something going on." I say picking up the wine bottle and taking a sip of it.

" I suppose I do to. Better than the country or something." He says.

" I wish I could move to a big city. New York, Los Angeles, or even Paris maybe. Central London." I say naming cities.

" yeah that would be interesting. " he says " you should do it." He says.

" psh. I'd love to. But I wouldn't need a job, which I can't really get. Or go to collage, which I have no money for. I'm sorta fucked." I say taking a long inhale from the cigarette.

" well. I don't really know what to say, being honest. I'm sure you'll figure it out. But think about now. It's just you and me, right. I'll be here with you through it all. Yeah?" He says pulling me close to him. I smile and put out the cigarette.

" what are your biggest dreams?" I ask.

" hm. My biggest dreams. Be in a world famous band. Produce the music, stuff like that. I think we're on our way to that. It's slow, but we're working on our debut album. Hopefully it takes off. " he says.

" I bet it'll happen. You'll be headlining every festive, playing major venues on your own sold out world tour." I say smiling at George who smiles back at me.

" that's the goal. What about your dreams?" He asks.

" psh. Survive." I say.

" nope, an actual dream. Something you want to do. Anything. " he says.

" hm. Live in the city as a makeup artist or something." I shrug.

" you like makeup?" He asks.

" yeah, I do. Im decent at it I suppose. It's fun." I say.

" you could do it. Easily. I don't know how much of that stuff works, but I'm sure you could do it." He says.

" who knows." I say sipping from the bottle again. The wine taking bit of an effect on me. I stand up and take the bottle of wine with me. Standing almost to the edge of the roof. Looking at the faint lights of the city taking long drinks from the bottle.

  I basically finish off the wine and then look at the city, then below me.

" this place fucking sucks." I say. " I've never left this city, or gone anywhere. I'm so miserable here. Let's go somewhere else. Anywhere." I say, this probably being the alcohol talking.

" hey, maybe not now. But eventually, you and me will leave this place. I'll promise you that. Okay?" He asks. " we'll go far away from here and live in a big city. I promise. " he saysz

" really?" I ask.

" promise." He says bringing me close and kissing me gently.
