Getting Attention

17 - Dark Night Surprises

Tuesday night I couldn't sleep. Watching TV was all I did until 2 in the morning I heard a knock on my door.

Zach appeared in the doorway and closed the door softly and approached me. He jumped on the bed and rolled his hand through my hair.

What the Fuck?

"Um......hey..." I said pulling his hand away. He flew back and laid down.

"Morning...can't sleep?" He said. I nodded changing the channel.

"Me neither." He said sighing. Next thing he said surprised me.

"Wanna go out?" He asked. I looked back at him surprised....why would he want to go out this late, and where?

"Where would we even go, and why?"

"Where we go is a surprise, and remember, this week I try to make it up to you. So c'mon and let's go." And with that, we were sneaking out of the house, and going to an unknown place only he knew.

We were riding his bike, as in we, I mean he was pressing the pedals as I held onto him. The town seemed so strange during the night. Usually I always see people walking and talking, cars and motorcycles, but now it's like a ghost town. It was so dark, the only light were the street lights, but half of them didn't even work.

I felt the bike stop and looked ahead, we were next to our school.

"Why are we here?" I asked, I mean, hello, I already go here enough during the week.

"I'm thinking of which way to go to go to the back." He said as he made a lurch to the right and was heading to the back parking lot. Soon I found myself holding onto him tighter as we stumbled upon rocks and sticks in the middle of some....woods.

We stopped once again, but this time I knew why. We arrived.

"Wow...." I said shocked as ever. Before me was a small waterfall falling into a stream. I could hear the frogs and crickets croak. It felt like I was in a movie as I looked up and saw tall trees move towards each other in the sky. Suddenly a herd of birds flew above in a 'V' shape.

"Like it?" He asked. I nodded still in shock of the beauty of it all. Zach held my hand as he lead me to the edge of the stream and sat down. I followed and sat down next to him. He pulled out something out of his backpack which I didn't even notice until now. He gave me one, a granola bar.

"Thanks." I said smiling at him. He opened his and looked at me as he ate it.

"Lets play a game." He said. I was scared for a second, hoping he wouldn't say truth or dare, we all know where that leads.

"Ok what game?" I said chewing up the delicious chocolate chip bar.

"I spy." He said with a smile.  I was surprised by his choice. I haven't played the game since I was a little girl back in my old town.

"Ok, you go first." I said.

"Ok, I spy something beautiful." He said looking around. "Only three tries!"

Ok, this would be easy seeing were in nature and only two things were so extraordinary here.

"Ok, the waterfall?" I said. He shakes his head.

"Um...the stream?" He shakes his head again. Confused I gave up.

"Duh, I'm surprised you didn't get it." He said as he started to lean in and close the small gap in between us. "You." He whispered. The word hit my lips as he stroked my cheek. I didn't know what I should do. I wasn't into him this way anymore, I just wanted to be friends....not anything else. Before I could say anything, He closed our lips together and made them one. I pulled away and got up. Looked at him before turning away and running as fast as I can. I didn't know where to go, every sound made me think he was running after me getting closer. I kept turning and turning. Running and running. Until I fell to the ground and the dark night seemed to go completely dark.

(A/N) Woah some juicy stuff XD Thanks for reading...I don't really know what to say so. Yeah. Bye bye.
