Krystal's POV
I sat in my room, shaking. Tomorrow is the Purge, and I'm scared to death. I live in a very friendly neighborhood, but our security system isn't the best. If the power gives out, we're at the mercy of the citizens of Las Angeles. My California tanned skin was pale, my usual wavy blond hair was in a pony tail, I didn't feel like myself. My mom called my down, we need to go shopping for whatever we need for 12 hours. I pulled my combat boots on and walked to the car with my mom.
--------------------------------------------------------------
While walking around the store, I came to the weapon section. My mom nodded " Go ahead, just in case."
I bought a knife and a small pistol, I am not dying tomorrow. I wandered off because my mom said I can get candy and shit for myself, since I'm spending the night in my room scared to death. I fill a basket with airheads, skittles, a few glass bottles of Coke, and other awesome candies. While walking, a boy bumped me, and My gun fell out of my coat pocket. " Sorry. I'm clumsy." He said.
He picked up the gun and handed it to me. He was about my age, 17, with a blond quiff, bright blue eyes, and a black lip ring in his pink lips, which were in a smile. " I'm Luke."
" Krystal." I said smiling back.
Luke handed me a slip of paper with a phone number on it " Maybe if we survive to see the sun in two days, I'll take you on a date."
I couldn't help but blush " Sounds like a plan. I'll text you before 7, kay?"
" Okay." He said, him turning a little pink himself.
I put the gun back in my coat pocket, and met back up with my mom. We payed for everything and drove home. I texted Luke, but he didn't answer. My big brother Cole walked in. " You okay Krys?"
I nodded " Yeah, I'm okay."
He pulled something out of his coat pocket, a pack of bullets, and a needle filled with a clear liquid. " Please, stay safe tomorrow, I'll see you on Sunday, alright."
I sat up " Your not going purging are you!?"
He stayed quite. My eyes widened " Cole no please! Please don't! I-I couldn't be okay if you died, please Cole don't!"
Cole hugged me " No, I'm not going out. I'm going to my friend Andrew's house, he needs help portecting his sisters, I promise you I'll be back."
He brown hair was falling in his hazel eyes, which were full of guilt. " Go to bed Krystal, you need to sleep."
---------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up around 1 in the morning, and my phone beeped. It was from Luke.
Luke- " I have 18 hours to talk to you, so let's make the most of it.
Me- Okay, so whats your full name randomly.
Luke- Luke Robert Hemmings :), You?
Me- Krystal Isabella Summers. :)
Luke- Very pretty, like you ;)
Me- Smooth Hemmings. SO where is this date you will take me on after the Purge?
Luke- I was thinking I'd take you for a cute little walk in the park under the stars, maybe hold your hand.
Me- Aww, how romantic Blondie.
Luke- Your blonde you, haha blonde moment.
Me- Shut up. |:(
Luke- I'm kidding, and I'm not romantic.
Me- Yes you are. I g2g to bed, gonna be awake for a while. See you Sunday. xx
Luke- Yeah, see you Sunday xx
I sighed and tried to go back to sleep, it was pointless. What if we don't see each other Sunday, what if we don't have our walk in the park, what if he doesn't get to hold my hand, what if one of us dies?
