The Tree on Top of the Hill

The Tree

The music was blasting all throughout the house, everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves and then there was me. The lonely brunette on the couch with a cup of soda, I should probably tell you who I am. I'm Ella Jordan and I'm only here since my best friend dragged me out my house saying its senior year and I need to live a little.

I set my soda down in search of the bathroom and it took a bit longer to get to the bathroom with all these party people in the way but I made it. I make my way back to the couch but on the way I'm stopped, I feel someone grab hand and my heart beats a bit faster. "What's happening?" I ask myself as I turn around to face whoever has a hold of my hand.

"Come and dance with me cutie."

"I'm not your cutie buddy. I also don't want to dance."

"Ok then, how about we take a walk."

Before I can respond he leads me out of the noisy house through the back and onto a dirt trail. My heart beats faster again as if it's use to this guy's voice and touch, I swat his hand away and stare at him. He's tall with curly black hair and dark brown eyes that remind me of chocolate drops. I shake the thought of chocolate out my head and question him.

"Where are we going?"

He keeps walking and calmly answers "A tree cutie."

He walks up a hill and on top of that hill sat a beautiful oak tree. I get the feeling I've seen this before but I can't remember.

"Would you stop calling me cutie?! My name is Ella."

"A cute name for a cutie such as yourself."

"So what's your name?"

He sits under the tree looking up at the sky then his gaze shifts to me and he pat's the ground next to him. I take my seat under the tree and look at him, he replies with Jc. He sets his hand on top of mine and smiles as he watches my face light up. The clouds clear showing the stars light up the night sky.

"This is better than any book I've ever read on astronomy."

"I thought you might like it." He rests his head in my lap pointing out some of the constellations in the sky, we sat under that tree for hours just talking. I would run my fingers through his occasionally and he didn't seem to mind, the sun was beginning to rise and that soon meant we would have to part ways.

"Ella...before I go I want to give you something."

He leaded in kissed me my body reacted like it felt this before. He walked away but I tried to go after him, I blinked and he was gone. My eyes adjusted to the light and I awoke in my bedroom.

"It was a dream." I smile.
