Aquarius woke up around 2:00 in the morning. She sighed and went to finish the work she started.

15 minutes in and her phone buzzes, signalling a text message. She goes and gets her phone and sits back down in her chair at her desk.

It was Justin.

Justin
You up?

Aquarius
Yeah...

Justin
Oh shit! I didn't think you were up. Are you doing work? Or couldn't sleep?

Aquarius
Lol. Both.

Justin
You almost done?

Aquarius
I guess....Why?

Justin
Idk. I was wondering if you wanted to go out to the field again? If you want?

Aquarius
At 2 in the morning?

Justin
Sure, why not? Come on. You said you couldn't sleep.

Aquarius
Ok, ok. Give me 30-40 minutes.

Justin
See you then. 😁

Aquarius
😊

So, Aquarius finished her work and drank some water in the process.

30 minutes later she snuck downstairs. The lights were off and her mother was in bed. She quietly opened the door, and closed it. When she turned around she saw a truck and Justin leaning on it. He's wearing a jacket and what he was wearing earlier, a blue T-shirt and jeans.

She jogs over to him.

"You seem to be doing better."

"Are you sure you don't just want to watch over me? To see if I pass out again?" She asks with a smile.

He chuckles.

"No. I thought that you might not be able to sleep. After the ruff days you've had."

"Well....I was asleep. Then I couldn't sleep again. So I decided to work on some homework."

"Yeah. Me too." He pauses. "Should we go?"

"Y-Yeah."

"What? You haven't snuck out before?"

"No. I didn't have a reason too."

They laugh, and Justin opens her door. Aquarius hops in and she closes it as he walks around.

He drives just outside of town and parked in front of a gate, like last time. He brought a couple blankets and a sweater.

Justin climbs the gate and straddles it to help Aquarius over. When she's over he jumps down.

They walk up the hill some ways and Justin lays down a blanket and sits on it. Aquarius follows rubbing her arms.

"Are you cold?" He asks.

"A bit."

He hands her the sweater. She takes it and puts over her long sleeve shirt.

"Thanks." She said, bring her knees into her chest.

They're silent for a minute.

"Ju....Scorpio?"

He looks at her.

"Yeah."

"I think you're my best friend. Other then the girls. And James. And maybe your friends."
