To Be Alone.

I woke up in the wee hours of the morning. but could not go back to sleep. So I got up and decided to make a daring trip downstairs. I sat up and immediately felt dizzy. I waited for it to go away then stood up. I quietly walked to the door and opened it. I started walking quietly down the hallway. When I got to the stairs I got really dizzy again so I sat down on the top step. When it vanished I stood up and walked down a few more steps and got dizzy again. So I sat down. I really don't want to fall down stairs while no one is awake. After the dizzy went away I stood up again and this time I leaned a little to much forward and started to fall I closed my eyes and waited to feel the pain only it never came I slowly opened my eyes to see what was happening. Only to see stairs in front of me. I looked behind me and almost screamed. Tate stood there holding me in place. His hair was messed up from sleeping. He smiled at me. "I told you I would not let you fall" I smiled. He pulled me in to a hug I hugged him back. "Why are you awake?" I asked him. "It's Monday I have school. And so do you. So come on." "School? I-I don't want to go back to school." "I'll be with you." I look at him and think for a second. "Can I stay home today? I just don't want people to see my neck. And I don't think I'm ready to go back. please." I gave him my best puppy dog eyes. "Do you want me to stay with you? My mom will be at work. If you want me to stay so your not alone?" I could tell he didn't want me to be alone. I sighed. "Yes please." He pulled me back in to a hug I hugged him back. "Thank you." I whispered. "Oh my mom wants to take you shopping later. What's your favorite store?" "I don't know. I have never been shopping. She always bought clothes for me." "Never?" "Ever." "That's messed up. I'm a GUY and I have been shopping several times." "Shh! Your gonna wake up your mom." "I've been up." Her mom walks into sight at the bottom of the stairs. As I squealed. She and Tate laughed. Tate picked me up and carried me down stairs. "Mom we are gonna stay home from school today and she's NEVER been shopping." "Ok. I gotta go. I'll take you shopping later sweetheart. Take care." And with that she left. Tate sat me at the table "so what do you want for breakfast?" "Food." "A smoothie it is." I rolled my eyes and laughed as he got out the blender. "What flavor?" He asked me. "Strawberry-banana?" "My favorite!" I smiled "Mine too." He got the bananas and strawberries and put them in the blender with some ice, sugar, milk, and vanilla. It fascinated me to watch him make it. "I've never seen a smoothie made. That's cool." "Really?" "Yeppers!" He looked at me. "Cover your ears." I obeyed him. And I'm glad I did I jumped when he turned the blender on it ran for about a minuet and he turned it off. Got two cups from the cupboard and poured us each a glass. He picked me up and walked me to the couch. "I can walk you know." "I know but I like carrying you." He put his forehead on mine. "Because I like you." I smiled and blushed. "Your still cute when you blush." "Gahh!! stop. Please?" "hmmm. Let me think. No." "Fine!" I said pouting. He laughed at me. "CAN WE WATCH SPONGEBOB?" Tate all but yells. "No." I say sternly. "Why not?" He pouts. "I don't like spongebob." I state simply. "How. Can. One. Not. Like. Spongebob. You like spongebob your just denying it." I sigh. "Fine here's my secret I'm madly in love with spongebob's BFF and I'm jealous that I'm not spongebob." I say as sarcastically as I possibly can. He rolled his eyes. "Who isn't?" he scoots closer to me and I cuddled up to him, he puts his arm around me and sighs. "Fine. What do you wanna watch?" "Any Disney movie." He got excited and screamed "CIRCLE OF LIFE!" "Yay lion king is awesome!" "I know." He said with a really cute, cocky smile. I laughed.

*half way through the movie*

"Pause it please." I asked Tate. He paused it. "What's wrong?" He looked at me with concern. "Well you see I drank a lot of water. I have to pee. And we pee in toilets. Not ON couches. I just don't want to miss the movie." I say as if I was talking to a 3yr old. Then laughed. "oh. Oops. Sorry." he said blushing. "your cute when you blush too ya know." I got up slowly and started walking to the bathroom. Tate put his arm around me to help me to the bathroom. I got to the bathroom did my business washed my hands and walked out the door. Tate was sitting back on the couch. When he saw me he stood up and picked me up took me to the kitchen. "Lunch?" "Nah I'm good I'll just have some water." "Ok. I'm sorry about earlier." He said blushing again. "Still cute." I stated simply. Stood up on my tippy toes. And kissed his cheek. He smiled and hugged me I hugged him back. "Will you go on a date with me?" I smiled and nodded. "Yes because I need to get to know you better." "Keeping in mind that I'm still a random stranger. Good point." He said laughing he got me some water and we went back in living room to finish the movie.

*AN sorry I've been lazy, tired, I'll do shopping and date tomorrow :p*
