Skyler's POV
"I'm scared" I admitted
"Don't be a pussy" he teased
"I've never done ANYTHING like this before" I whined, but through all of my anxiety, I was still excited as hell.
"Well, welcome to being awesome" He side hugged me and I giggled slightly
"Being BAD isn't AWESOME" I arched an eyebrow
"But it's fun" he shrugged, then grabbed my hand and led me to his room, which I've only seen maybe three times in seven years, because he never let me in. He closed and locked his door, then opened his window.
"No" I exclaimed "I'm not jumping"
"We're sure as hell not jumping" he scoffed "Dumbass"
"Well, then what are we doing?" I asked, but he ignored me and climbed up out of the room on the roof. He offered a hand, and I took it, sitting on the ledge with him. He stood up, holding onto the edge of the house that was to his waist, and listed a knee to sit on the roof.
"How are we suppose the close the window?!"
"Slide it" he said in a duh tone
"I can't from up there!" I squeaked
"Here, just stand up" he explained and I did as told. I was hunched over the window seal, almost falling off, and I bet there were spiders in my hair. "Turn around" I did as told and felt like I was about to die, but I held onto the gutter with one hand and his with the other. Just my boobs were laying against the roof, so I wouldn't be able to pull myself back up as easily. "Close the window"
"How?" I demanded
"Slide it"
"How?!" I repeated
"With your foot" he clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth in annoyance, so I stood on my tippy toes, on the ledge, to barley slide it closed "If its not all the way the alarm will go off in an hour; and we'll be dead meat"
"Okay, Okay" I heard the window click which meant it was locked, "Now what?"
"Pull yourself up?"
"I can't" I spoke, starting to panic, I was cold, and scared, and full of regret.
"Try to hold yourself up with your elbows" he held my hand tighter, and as I did so, my feet no longer touched the seal.
"Jonah, Jonah, please I'm scared" I let a tear fall, and he dragged me toward him, the jacket protecting my elbows. I pulled my knee up, and collapsed in his lap, holding him tightly
"You did it" he chuckled as I shook in his arms, I had never felt so hyped!
"I did it" I agreed, then wiped the tears off my cold face.
"Come on" he demanded and we crawled towards the other side of the house, towards the back, where our tree was. "There's an easier way, but this is less... well scary"
I just nodded even though he couldn't hear me.
"Get on my back" he said as we neared the edge
"Are you crazy?" I asked
"Maybe" he shrugged "I guess you'll have to find out"
He hasn't lead me to failure so far, so I squeezed into his back as he jumped at the tree, and I held my breath until I felt the impact of him landing securely on the branches. We weren't too high up anymore, so I let out a huge breath of relief. I climbed into a different branch, that was attached to a rope swing, and slid down till my feet hit the part in which you sit on, then finally the ground. I went to look up at Jonah, but before I could I heard a thump, and he landed perfectly in a squat.
"Skyler" he whispered
"What?" I groan
He didn't answer, he just gestured for me to follow him, and I did, so we ran with the fall leafs crunching beneath us. We reached the fence by his window, and he unlocked it, and walked through, as did I, them he locked it again.
He connected his hand with mine and I took a long deep breath, and let it out, "What's next?"
