Shadow lives.

Chapter.13

"I'm sorry"! I got up and went to the bathroom and started crying.
"Sweetheart can I come in"? I unlocked the door, which he heard.
"I'm.. s sorry"! I cried more. Richie came and put his arm around me.
"It's ok, I acted like a jerk".
"I'm so annoying, you must hate me"!
"Sweetheart I can never hate you". We were sitting there for a little while, but then Richie picked me up bridle style and carried me to bed.
"You want to go to bed"? I asked confused because it was only 8:30.
"No, we can just talk or play cards or something". He smiled. Richie can be such a jerk at times, but that's only because of Barred. I know that's not Richie when he is mad like that.
"Want to play slap jacks"? I asked smiling.
"Sure"! He smirked. Then got the cards and dealded them. I sat on my stomach with my legs up.
"Marriage"! I said then I slapped it.
"I let you have that". He smiled.
"Sure". I rolled my eyes.
"Sandwich"! I slapped it again.
"How did you get so good"? He usually wins but not anymore.
"Summer camp, nick,em,Elle,life". I started laughing a little.
"Nick"? He had a smile but I could tell he was jealous.
"Calm down, he's my friend and a year younger than me".
"Ok". We were flipping cards nothing was coming up until,
"7"! I slapped it, but Richie slapped it in top of my hand.
"Sorry"! He took his hand off.
"It's fine.
"Staircase"! I slapped again.
"I wasn't ready"! He smiled.
"That's your fault"! I giggled.
"You want to play that way fine"! He picked me up then put me on the couch in the living room.
"Marriage"! I heard him scream. I ran back to my room and sat next to him.
"Cheater"!
"That's your fault". He laughed. I did too.
"You put  me on the couch how was I supposed to win that time"?
"Exactly". He smirked. I got back to the position I was in on my bed.
"Doubles"! I slapped once again.
"Can we just go with that you won and do something else"? He smiled.
"Aww sore loser"? He took my cards and his them put them away.
"Not cool sore loser and cheater". I pointed at him.
"Whatever winner". He sat next to me on my bed.
"Well what do you want to do now"?
"Lets go to Jupiter"! I yelled.
"Ok maybe in time we will go to Jupiter, but for now want to look at the stars outside"?
"Ok". We got up, then got a blanket to put on the grass out side. Next we went out side and put it down and sat on it.
"Come here". Richie put his arm around me and pulled me closer. I put my head on his chest.
"Are you cold"? I asked him. It was actually warm out! Yay spring!
"No, you"?
"Nope"!  Richie pulled me up lightly and I got up. Then he pulled me close. I put my arms around his neck. The moon was out so our shadows were doing what we were doing. He kissed me, I kissed him back.
"I'm glad our shadows aren't here". I said.
"Same"! We sat back down and continued to watch the stars. But this time I got up. Then Richie sat up.
"What are you doing"? He smiled softly.
"I going to catch a fire fly"! I ran over to one and tried to catch it but it flew away.
"Here"! Richie was right next to me with one in his hand.
"Their so beautiful"! He let it fly away.
"Not as much as you". I giggled.
"Want to go on the swings"? I asked him.
"Yeah sure"! We walked over to them and started swinging.
"Ahh"! I jumped off and landed. The Richie did the same.
"Fun"! He smirked. I went over to my trampoline and got on, then started to jump.
"L'italiano vero"! I screamed while jumping. Richie got on and started jumping.
"What"?
"It means Italian true, it's part of a song".
"Cool". We were jumping and I did a flip, but landed on my butt.
"Are you ok"? Richie helped me up.
"Yeah I'm fine"! I got off the trampoline, then went to my zip line.
"You like to run around a lot don't you"? He asked smiling.
"Yes"! I hopped on to the zip line, then I reached the end. Richie pulled me back. I got off then he went on. I pulled him back.
"What happened to watching the stars"? He laughed.
"I don't know". I pulled his arm back to the blanket and we watched the stars again.
"How many do you think are up there"? He asked.
"A lot".
"Some of them aren't even there any more, but their light is".
"Why"? That doesn't make sense to me. But Richie thinks it's cool.
"I honestly don't know princess".
"I kinda want to touch one". I said low.
"I know right". He went on his side and was looking at me while smiling.
"I wonder if there's something staring at us right now"? I said. Then I went on my side and faced Richie. He played with my hair and smiled.
"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, we tried for s while to find other life."
"Did we"?
"No, but there could still be something".
"It's kind of scary to think were the only living things out there". I said, he just smiled.
"It's kind of scary to think there's other things out there too princess".
