~Lyri~
"Bottoms up bottoms up! Throw your hands up! Tell security we 'bout to tear this club up! Bottoms up bottoms up, pocket full of green! Girl you know I love when you shake it in 'em jeans!" My friends and I screamed the lyrics in my bedroom, just dancing like there's no tomorrow.
Here comes my part. "Can I get that Tron can I get that Remmy can I get that coke can I get that Henny can I get that margarita on the rock rock rock can I get that salt on the rim rim rim. Trey, I was like yo Trey, do you think you can buy me a bottle of Rosay?"
Alyson turns down the music. "The fact that you know the rap, scares me." She laughs. I shrug. "I love my Nicki."
"Guys, we're wasting time. Lyri has a date in an hour!" Maria shouts. "True." Taylor jumps in.
I sit in my swivel chair in front of my dresser with a huge mirror on it. "I'm changing the song." Autumn announces.
"No!" We all scream at her. She jumps back. "Do not change it to your music." Alyson warns. "What's wrong with Shawn Mendes?!" She questions.
I looked at her. She sighs and starts typing on her phone. "Better now?" She asks as 'Doubt' by Twenty One Pilots went through the speakers.
"Much." Alyssa gives a thumbs up.
*hour later*
"You're looking super hot!" Autumn cheers. I shrug. "Thanks, but your opinion might be different from Ethan's." I chew my bottom lip; a nervous habit of mine.
"You'll be fine. I know he's going to love you." Autumn smiles cheekily at me. She's the most peppy out of us all.
The door bell rings, making me jump. "He's here! Hide!" I shove them behind the door. Taking a deep breath, I open it. Stood there, was the pizza guy.
"Who ordered pizza?!" I yell at them. "Oh, that's mine!" Autumn raises her hand and comes out from behind the door. "Keep the change." She hands the guy a twenty and grabs the pizza. The guy looks at me. "Why hello there beautiful." He smiles.
"Yeah, I'm going on a date. Goodbye." I close the door and turned to Autumn. "Told you looked good." She eats a slice.
"Why did you order pizza?"
"Why not?"
I rolled my eyes. "You and Benny are seriously perfect for each other." She just chews her slice faster, walking towards the kitchen. The doorbell rings again. "Okay, now he's actually here!" Maria whisper shouts.
"Everybody shut up!" Alyson commands.
I open the door, and Ethan stood there nervously. With Benny behind him. "What's Benny doing here?" I ask. He shrugs. "He followed me."
"I was hoping your lady friends were here." He smiles and winks. Alyssa, Maria, and Alyson came out from behind the door.
"Autumn's in the kitchen." They say in unison. Benny nods and walks through my door and heads towards the kitchen, with the rest following. I walk out my door and closing it; now being alone with Ethan.
"You look nice." He compliments. I blush slightly. "Thanks. You look great as well." I say, looking at him. He cleans up real nice with a blue button up long sleeve shirt, and some snazzy jeans. He wore his usual sneakers and his hair done nicely. Smells nice too.
Ethan scratches the back of his neck. "Thanks."
"So where are going?" I ask, beginning to walk forward.
"I didn't know exactly what to do, so I finally decided on just walking through town, looking at the lights." He smiles at me. I smile back.
^Ethan^
She's so beautiful. I'm glad I didn't chicken out on this.
We walked around through the town, admiring the lights. I looked down at our sides. Our hands just inches apart. I don't know if I should just hold it, or leave it be.
Lyri looks down at our hands as well, smiling and grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers.
An image took over me.
"Ethan help." Lyri yells. "Ethan help!" She starts crying. "Ethan!" She screams before she goes limp and not moving.
"Where did all of your confidence go from yesterday?" She jokes, snapping me back into reality. I nervously laugh.
"It ran away an hour ago." I joke.
This can't be happening. Lyri can't be the stopped human heart. I need to work harder at this to keep her alive.
