" yeah" he chuckled. " so, when your birthday?" I asked " why ask so sudden?" He said. I shrugged my shoulders. " just out of curiosity" I said " well it's soon...." he said " when is soon?" I asked " uh.... tomorrow ?" He said in a tone trying not to get me mad. " what?! When were you gonna tell me?!" I said a little hurt. " I didn't really want to tell you cause I knew you'd wanna do a birthday party for me." He said " what's wrong with birthday parties?" I said " nothing... it's just I don't have much..... luck on birthdays" he said " what do you mean?" I asked " nothing. I just don't like parties. Don't waste your time trying to throw me one." He said. I grinned at him. " Don't. You. Dare." He said as I ran out side and he chased me.

He tackled me and we landed on our sides, facing each other. We couldn't stop laughing. "I'm still doing it" I said "I hate you" he said playfully. I giggled. " when's your birthday?" He asked " it's in a couple of months. By the time we leave that's when my birthday is going to come. " i said "how do you know when we're gonna leave?" He asked " I don't. My birthday isn't for a while and I'm sure we won't be here at least ON my birthday." I said " so when exactly is your birthday?" He asked " it's in February. February 7, 1999." I said " you're 17?" He said " yep. Almost 18" I said " how old are you?" " I'm 18." He said. " you're almost 19? Cool." " yeah." He said. We started to look at the clouds. It was getting pretty quiet. I decided to break the silence by talking. " we should explore more" I said " there's no where to explore to." He said " of course there is! I've been to so many different places." I said " well you've explored all the places we CAN go. All the places you went were already dangerous, and you've explored all the parts of the only safe parts. This forest." He said. " and there's no way we are going to the left of the house because that place is even more dangerous."  " well I guess we'll be out of here soon. " I said

" I'm not so sure it's a good thing." He said " oh?" I questioned " it's just.... I don't know what I'll do in the world without you." He said. I smiled at him. " right. We need a plan. We can meet at a specific place after we go see our families." I said " what place?" He said " how bout the library on 6th street?" I said " there's a library there now?" He said " oh gosh." I said "it's uh... been a while." He said. " how bout that old building on 12th street?" I said " sure. But do you have a phone number I can call?" He said. "Yeah, its 240-542-35084" i said ( yes I'm aware that the number isn't accurate to real life, but that's the point. I'm not sure if what I put was a real persons number so I just added that.) " ok cool." He said as we headed in.
