11 Nights

Night 1~ I stopped you

•Friday Night/Early Saturday AM•

I look over the edge, the shark infested waters were a danger but I wanted to be down there with them. They didn't seem that frightening... until one jumped 10 meters into the air. Good god man, should I hold back until morning? It was night, around 2:00 in the morning. I was regretting my decisions, but I told myself to jump. I was about to fall forward when all of a sudden, I felt someone grab my arm and I couldn't move from that spot.

"What the hell? Let go of me!" I said this then gasped, it was a Sprite High's student. I went there, my eyes adjusted to the darkness that surrounded me, except the moonlit sky, it was brighter than ever tonight. When I could finally see him, my eyes widened.. It was Lucas Lowery.

"What're you doing here?!" I said this yanking my arm away, looking at him confused in every way.

"I was here admiring the moonlight but it looks like I just saved a life, and no, i'm not trying to sound like a total douchebag right now and i'm not asking for a thank you." He said this and a tear fell down my face as I turned away from him. I walked back to the edge, sobbing now, I left my arms fly up and as soon as I was about to jump into the midnight blue waters, his arms locked around me and I was just hanging up in the air. He covered my mouth and carried me back to his car, and he plopped me in the passenger side seat and he got in the driver's side, locked the doors and drove off into the night.

"Why were you there?" He said this softly as he parked in front of the closed fair boardwalks. I looked out the window not knowing what to say, I admit I had no excuse.. all I could do was whisper out an "I don't know anymore.." He looked over at me and I turned my head towards him. He unbuckled his seat and got out, then he came to my side, unbuckled my seatbelt and opened my door gesturing for me to come out of the car. He shut the door behind me and his dark brown eyes glittered in the moonlight. He took my hand and lead me to the docks.

"So how's school for you been going?" He asked questionably but he seemed calm and patient for what just happened. I spit out the words, "Horrible, absolutely, positively horrible! I hate school." I frowned upon saying that and Lucas just smirked and nodded his head in agreement with me not saying a word. He then laughed as we stopped at the end of the boardwalk, we looked over the railing and in the distance you could spot a dolphin. I chuckled at the sight and the realized he still had my hand in his. He looked at me and said calmly, "If I can stop you from being that crazy again and change your mind will you stay? Just give me 10 days and 11 nights. If I don't change your mind, you can jump into the waters on the 11th night afterwards, and I won't stop you.. Deal?" He held out his other hand, and I just stared at it and eventually I shook his hand, "Deal, but if it doesn't work you have to let me jump.." His smirk turned into a full blown smile and said Thanks! I wonder if just a high-school boy could change everything I had set into my mind? Well we won't know 'til we try, won't we?
