I got up and went downstairs to find my mother with some guy. "Mom, what are you doing?" I asked knowing exactly what she was doing. She turned around and all I saw was anger. The guy turned around and smiled, that smile was not a friendly smile. My mom got up and stormed over to me. 

"Get out." She stated. 

"No, I don't appreciate the fact that you are fucking some guy while I am asleep in the house!" I scream. 

"Get.The.Fuck.Out!" She slurred and slapped me across the face. Just then he came up behind her and grabbed her hips. 

"I think I can reason with her." The guy smirked and I knew what that meant. I headed straight for the door and ran out, I heard my mom and him laughing. I walked to Henry's house and climbed through his window. He was facing the window when I came in, I slipped into bed next to him, knowing he was not asleep. 

"Henry, I know you are not asleep." I whispered and Henry opened his eyes.  

"Hey. What's wrong?" Henry questioned. 

"My mom." was all I said. 

"What did she do?" Henry asked. 

"She was about to fuck a guy, while I was asleep in the house. The guy was a-a-a pervert." I said shakily. 

"Did he do anything to you?" Henry seethed with anger. 

"No, but he implied it and that's when I left and came here." I stated. 

"Ok, good." Henry said. 

"Sleep here and then tomorrow you can leave." Henry stated laying down. I laid down and felt Henry's arm wrapped around me protectively, I slowly fell asleep. 

I woke up trapped in a warm body. I looked over and saw Henry, a smile crept onto my face as I laid back down. I drifted back to sleep but was awoken by Henry stirring. I looked over at him and he faked being asleep. "Henry, I know you are awake, it's ok." I laughed and got up. I realized I didn't bring any clothes and me being didn't want to walk home in something I have worn for two days. "Uh, Henry I didn't bring anything with me." I stated. 

"Just wear something of mine." Henry shrugged and I blushed at the thought. Henry pulled out some clothes and laid them on the bed. I picked out this outfit:

I came out of the bathroom and went straight back to Henry's room. 

"See, you look better in my clothes." Henry joked. We walked out to Henry's Pontiac and drove to a diner to get breakfast. We ate, talked, paid, and left within an hour. We then drove around to different shops. 

Timeskip to around 7:30 Pm. 

We finally arrived at the lake. 

It looked like a picture out of a movie almost

It looked like a picture out of a movie almost. We decided to eat and then go for a dip. I stripped down to my bra and underwear and jumped into the water. It was so relaxing, and I could just stay here all day. I swam down under the water and came back up. I looked at the woods and Henry wasn't there. I looked around and couldn't find him, I started to get worried, then all of the sudden I was underwater. I thrashed around and came back up, my lungs begging for air. I turned around and was met with a smiling, fully clothed Henry. 

"Henry! You could have drowned me!" I whined.

"I'm sorry." Henry laughed.

"Whatever dork!" I exclaimed, punching his shoulder.

We both swam around and talked. I saw the perfect opportunity to pull him under, carefully I swam under the water and grabbed his leg, ripping it out from under him. He fell right on me, I sank all the way to the bottom and as he swam up, I stayed at the bottom. It was so beautiful even though my vision was clouded. I finally swam back up to the surface and saw a worried Henry, "Amber, you scared me!" Henry gasped.

"Why?" I questioned.

"Because I couldn't find you!" Henry exclaimed.

"Henry calm do-"

I was cut off by Henry's lips smashing against mine. My hand raised to slap him, but he caught my hands. I kissed back loving the feeling of his soft yet rough touch. He released my hands and my arms were wrapped around his neck. Soon we pulled away for air and I was dizzy.

"Amber, I-I'm sorry, I don't know wh-what came over me." Henry sputtered.

"Why are you sorry? I liked it." I smiled.

We swam around some more in silence then Henry decided to break the silence, "Amber, seriously I-" This time I cut him off with a kiss on the lips.

"It's ok Henry, If I was mad or didn't like it I would have told you." I laughed.

 "If we are going to be together, we have to keep it secret for now." I explained.

"Ok, dollface." Henry smirked.

"I love you Henry." I smiled.

"I love you too, Amber." Henry beamed.  

We got out of the lake and put back on our clothes, then sat in the grass. We got tired and headed to the car. We both got in the back and Henry locked the car door then covered up all the windows. We snuggled together with a blanket and soon fell asleep.
