My YouTube Life [ON HOLD]

10: Date Night

--Next week on Friday--

After the elevator shut down, Logan and I exchanged phone numbers. He arranged the "if-we-die date", and he won't tell me where we're going. So far, all I know is that he's picking me up tonight at 7:00 pm, and I'm supposed to where something that I can move around in. Meaning, jeans and a t-shirt.

I check the watch on my phone.

6:54 pm

Logan should be here any minute now.

I sit on the couch and grab my MacBook from the coffee table. I go to YouTube and scroll through my channel page. I look over a couple things, and then I notice I've reached 2,000,000 subscribers! I scream a little bit in my head.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

I grab my phone and get up and answer the door, reminding myself to make a thank you video later.

"Wow," Logan says, looking me up and down, "you look beautiful."

I'm wearing some dark wash jeans, a Slender the 8 Pages game t-shirt, and my black converse. Nothing to fancy, just like he said.

"Thanks," I say, "and you look nice as well."

He's wearing some jeans and a grey tight-fitted shirt that showed off his muscles.

"Thank you," Logan says, "and are you ready to go?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," I say.

We both laugh as we make our way to his car. He opens the car door, and I slide into the passenger seat. He closes the door and walks to the driver's side. He gets in.

"So captain," I say in a country girl accent, "where are we going on this fine evening?"

"The captain still says it's a secret," Logan says impersonating a country voice.

"Mm-hmm," I mumble.

We start driving. After a couple minutes of awkward silence, I turn on the radio. The song that comes on is Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. I start thinking on when Logan and I were trapped together in the hotel elevator. I start laughing.

"What's so funny?" Logan asks.

"This would have been a bad song to play while we were trapped in that elevator," I say, still laughing.

Logan seems to understand my joke and starts laughing along with me.

<><><><><><><><><><>

30 minutes later, we arrive at the mysterious date spot. Even now, Logan still won't let me see the place, so he made me cover my eyes about 5 minutes before we parked.

"Are your eyes still closed?" Logan asks.

"Yes," I say.

I hear him shut his door and open mine.

"Keep your eyes closed and give me your hands," he says.

I keep my eyes closed like he asked and give him my hands. He shuts the door, and leads me forward.

"Now watch out," Logan says, "there's a door."

He leads me inside. The first thing I notice is the smell. It's smells semi-disgusting, like a college dorm room. Sweat and Febreze... or is it Lysol? Logan stops me a few feet from the door.

"You can open your eyes now," he says.

I open my eyes. I can't believe it. Logan actually took me to a inside laser-tag arena.

I stand there in the middle of the entrance, in awe at the dark room with neon lights, the Star-Wars-like laser guns, and the boy I'm now going to try to shoot. I look back at Logan, "Ready to get destroyed?"

"What?" he says, "I don't think I'll be the one getting destroyed, seeing that I have been here many times before."

"Well your skill here isn't going to match me, since I have experience with a gun," I say.

He smirks, "More like a virtual gun from COD."

He knows me so well.

"Well c'mon, lets go pay," Logan says putting his hand in the small of my back a little above my butt. His touch sends a chill down my spine. He seems to notice and moves his hand.

We walk up to the desk and pay our fees. The man behind the desk puts the money in the register, then leads us to a closet filled with vests and laser guns. The guy hands us vests- one size fits all- (Yeah right.) and we put them on.

I locate the tightening straps on the back side of the vest. I move my hands behind my back and try to tighten the strap. It's one of those straps that's velcrow and you have to pull to secure it, which is kind of hard to do since it's behind my back. Logan walks over and hesitates before helping me with the strap.

"Ready to play," he says.

"As long as you're ready to lose," I reply.

<><><><><><><><><><>

Ten minutes into the game, I have already taken down 8 of the 10 players all by myself. I'm positioned behind a semi-circle wall. A great place to be considering I only know where Logan is positioned. The other random player could be anywhere.

Ding Ding!

The bell sounds, meaning a player is out. 1 left. I peek a little off the left side of the wall, making sure to protect the little dot that could "end my reputation". I see the foot of the last player behind the small rock-like thing in front of me.

Just move a little further.

The last player doesn't move. I peek on the right side. I don't see a shoe or any part of the player showing. I make my move. I go out from the safety of my wall, crouching, and to the front of the small rock like thing. Thankfully, I made no sounds coming over, and the player hasn't moved yet. I know it's a risky move, but hey, YOLO.

I peek to the side of the obstacle with just only 1 eye showing. I see the back of the vest of the player with the dot that could end this all. I take a deep breath and leap out from my spot hitting the back of the player's vest.

Ding Ding!

"Yes! I win!" I scream.

I run back up the stairs that lead to the entrance where Logan and I came in. Logan is standing there clapping.

"Great job" he says happily, "but, I still think I would have won if that guy hadn't snuck up behind me."

"You weren't the last player?" I ask.

"No, but that guy was," Logan says pointing behind me.

I turn around and see none other than Levi Shepard. The country boy that broke my heart back in Tennessee.

<>Author's Note<>

This is my first time with a banner for the chapter (not really a Wattpad genius). It's Tom Petty's Free Fallin'. The song that Tara was talking about with Logan. It's a semi-old song, but it's really catchy.

Also, how do you like Levi coming into the story?

Make sure you RECOMVOFO!!
