Stay With Me

Chapter Five (Edited)

I gasped. "Oh my god" I said in awe.

"Isn't it beautiful" Shane said

"It's gorgeous" I said.

We were in a hidden part behind the woods where there's a beautiful waterfall and a huge garden.

"Where did you find this place?" I asked

"The day before my first day of school here I was just walking through the woods and I found this place." He said

"It's amazing"

"Come on" He said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the pond where the waterfall falls into. He sat down and pulled me down beside him.

"So, have you started writing the essay for our project?" I asked

"A little bit, but not much. I only did half the basics." He answered. "You?"

"Same" I sighed as I rested my weight on my arms that stood behind me. "So, you've been here for a little bit now, got your eyes on any girls yet?" I asked/joked.

He shrugged "I guess" That was all he said

"Do tell" I said "What's she like?"

He sighed. "Well, she's sweet and funny. She's beautiful, but she doesn't even know it. She has an amazing family. She's been through a lot and I know she hasn't told me everything from her past, but for her I'd wait. To me she's amazing, but the people around just don't see that. I just wish she could see how much I care for her." He talked like she was the light of his life. Jealousy ran through my veins, but I tried not to show it.

"She sounds great." I whispered with a hint of unwanted hurt in my voice.

"She is" He agreed.

"So, who is she?" I asked

He looked at me. "I can't tell you." He said looking down

"Why not? We're like best friends, and best friends tell each other everything." I said

"I'm afraid that if I tell you, then you'll run away or hate me." He muttered.

"I could never hate you, Shane. Tell me." I assured him.

He sighed as he stood up and walked over to the garden. I stood up and followed him. I watched as he crouched down and pulled a purple Lilly out of the garden. He stood up and turned towards me. He slowly stuck the flower behind my ear. I expected his hand to move away when the flower was in place, but instead it lowered to my cheek. He looked deep into my eyes and gave me a smile.

The feeling his hand made on my cheek was unexplainable.  I had to restrict myself from leaning against it.

"Her name's Amelia Thompson, and I think I'm falling for her." Before I could respond his lips were on mine. My eyes immediately closed as my lips moved in sync with his.

It felt like fireworks as our lips moved and I knew I wouldn't get used to it. It felt more like hours other than secons until we pulled away our breathing was heavy as it mixed with each other's. Shane's hand was still on my cheek lightly stoking.

"Will you go out with me tomorrow night?" He asked in a low voice

"I'd love to"

He smiled before he reconnected our lips.

-Three Hours Later-

"I should probably get home before my dads get worried." I said pulling my head away from his shoulder looking at him.

"Can I walk you home?" He asked. I nodded. He stood up and grabbed my hand pulling me up as well. He entwined our fingers as we walked towards my house.
