Chapter 1: Incident Day

July 28, 2010

The day of the "Incident"

"Happy birthday to you," My lovely boyfriend sang to me, "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Lance, happy birthday to you."

I blew out the single candle on a small cupcake, sticking out my tongue afterwards for a picture he took with his old-fashioned Polaroid. Today was my eighteenth birthday, and here I was in a tiny motel room with the person I loved and cherished more than anyone. Having just run away from home to avoid college, I couldn't be happier.

I giggled as my lover wiped some blue frosting onto my cheek, "Keith, don't, I'll get acne!"

Keith rolled his eyes, smiling nonetheless, "Ah come on, you expected this on your birthday, didn't you?" He licked the frosting off my skin, causing me to blush. I felt like a real special boy that night.

"Now that I'm an adult, we can do just about anything, huh?" I joked.

"You didn't even need to be an adult to do just about anything. You've already been doing it." Keith gave me a bottle of beer. I may have been underage, but that didn't stop me from drinking.

"True, ever since we were sixteen, we've just been doing whatever we want." I laughed and chugged the beer down, "Fuck, I'm so ready to get wasted tonight."

"Me too." Keith snorted before laying down. I laid beside him.

"...What are you thinking about?" I asked. Keith grinned and flipped over to face me.

"Lance, let's run away."

"We've already sort of done that, haven't we? I mean, I ran away from home and you don't have a home." Keith was an orphan, constantly bounced around foster homes until he himself turned eighteen.

"That's not what I meant." Keith put a hand on my shoulder, I relaxed and listened closely, "I mean, let's run far away. Where no one can find us and we can just... Be alone. Just us."

I felt like my chest would explode with pure happiness, "Just us?"

"Yeah..." Keith leaned down, kissing along my sensitive neck, he knew all my sweet spots and crevices, "Would you like that?"

I lowered my eyes, tugging Keith's smooth mullet gently, "You know I'd love it..." There was nothing I would love more in the entire world. Just me and Keith against the world like we always talked about.

We stared at each other silently as if getting a quiet confirmation before conjoining in a deep kiss. I loved everything about Keith; his dark mysterious eyes, his dominate personality, his soft caring smile that only I got to see. Spending the rest of my life with him was my dream. As our tastes slowly started mixing together, it was all interrupted by the sound of sirens in the distance coming closer.

"Ah shit! I think my dad found us!" I jumped out of bed and peeked through the blinds, "Fuck, fuck!" My dad was the chief of police and disapproved of Keith severely. I started thinking up a plan quickly, desperate to keep Keith and myself out of trouble.

"Keith, I have an idea." I spun around toward him only to find he was missing from the bed, "Keith?" I looked up at the back window to see Keith fully clothed ready to escape.

Keith's eyes glistened with sorrow and guilt as he hopped out, scampering away.

My heart shattered all in one instant, "Keith..."
