Life

Chapter 12

The song is called Check Yes or No by George Straight. My boyfriend always sent it to me.

-3 hours later-

I flutter my eyes open and rub the sleep out of them. "Oh..." I groan. I look down and see Luke is still asleep. I grin and run my fingers through his hair.

I grab my phone and press the home button, turning it on. I see Ash had sent me a message.

Hey u up?- A

Yea what's up?- M

Just wonderin. Wanna go get somethin to eat?- A

Nah not RN. Thx anyways- M

Otay. Yw- A

When I make a move to get up, Luke's hands grab my waist and pull me back down.

"Hey-! I thought you were asleep!"

"You woke me up."

"How?"

"Playing in my hair and moving."

"My bad...."

"It's OK" he chuckles. He kisses the top of my forehead and gets off me. Yes if you were wondering he fell asleep on top of me.

I go on YouTube and play my favorite song, Check Yes or No by George Straight.

"It started way back in third grade. I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes. A pink dress, a matching bow and her ponytail. She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell. Next day I chased her round the playground. Across the monkey bars to the merry- go-round. And Emmylou got caught passing me a note. Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote,"

At this point, Luke joined in.

"Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend? And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand. If you want to. I think this is how love goes, check yes or no!"

I started laughing and when I calmed down, Luke came over and hugged me. "Do you check yes or no?" He asked. "Of course, I check yes."

He steals my phone and changes the song. "Hey-! You changed-" I stopped because I recognized the song. I smirk as I realize what it is. It's called Bad Little Boy. The Adventure Time song. "You got a thing for me girl, it's apparent."

"You wish."

His eyes and mouth pop open as he stares at me, throwing a laughing fit. His face is priceless! "So you don't love me?"

"No I do. But isn't that how the song goes?"

"Yea.."

I giggle.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh no don't tickle me again."

"Can't promise anything."

"Bruh. Nooo."

"Fine."

"I win." I grin.

"But I'm Dirty Dan."

"OH YOU BIG APE!" I say as I throw a pillow at him. "You know I'm Dirty D."

"No you noooooot." He whines. "Yes I am."

"But you can't get dirtier than me." He retorts. "Uh-! Yeah I can." I scoff. I used to play softball you know this. "You couldn't get dirtier than me when you played softball!" "But I could get muddier than you at the mud rides." "We were both covered in mud!"

"OK you win." He grins at that. "I'm King!" I slap his shoulder and lay on the bed. "Aw. Baby girl mad?"

"Nah I just don't feel like seeing your face."

"Hey-!"

I bust out laughing and he fake cries. "That hurt." He whines. "Aw poor baby. Want me to make it better?" I ask sweetly. He nods his head and I get off the bed and walk towards him. I kiss his lips and he wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me back.

"Better?" I say as I pull away. "Yeah.." He says. I grab my Bluetooth headphones and turn them on. I play a bass boosted song and put them over my ears, letting the bass tickle my ears. Tunnel Vision by Kodak Black plays and I can't help but sing it.

I feel my headphones being pulled from my ears and I grab for them. "Nooo!!!! Leave me headphoneessss!!!" I whine. "No." Luke says.

I look at him pleadingly and he doesn't budge. "Pwease?" I ask in a cute voice. "You sing too loud." He says. "That's because my volume is all the way up! I'll put them around my neck. I'm missing the song. Pleaseeeeeee you know I love that song!" I say.

"Fine," he sighs. I win, I thought.

After hours of listening to music and playing around, we watch a movie and fall asleep.

3:00 A.M.

I wake up to the sound of my phone going off with 'No Caller ID' on the screen. That's weird, I thought. Who could be calling me at 3 in the morning?

"Hello?" I said. The voice on the other end was raspy, low, and deep. "I know where you are, Max Guillory. I will find you one again." The stranger laughed evilly and hung up the phone.

I was trembling where I stood. It couldn't be... Luke must've noticed I was gone because he sat up and saw me shaking where I stood. He shot off the couch and picked me up. "What happened? Are you ok?" He asked worriedly.

"N- no," I stammered. "S- someone called me and said 'I'm coming for you, Max Guillory.' I was s- so scared." At this point I was crying in his arms. "Shh.." he shushed me. "I've got you. I won't let anyone get to you. Come, let's go back to sleep." He walked to his bed and pulled back the covers, laying down on the bed with me still in his arms.

After a while of crying, I finally fell back asleep. I couldn't stop thinking about the call though. I think I know who it was.

Sorry this chapter might've been a little boring. I'll post who she thinks it was in the next chapter. I'm also thinking of starting another book about what's happening in my real life, but Idk. Also, check out my friend _Sky555_ new book, Don't. It's about a girl named Asher and her gang, Fangs. The girls in the gang have all been abused as children, now ruling their city with an iron fist. Find out what happens to each of the girls in her book. It's awesome and please vote for it. She's an awesome writer. Please let me know if I should start that book too. Thanks!
