As we where walking to the ice cream shop , Grant kept cracking jokes .
" What do you call a box of ducks ? "
" Ummm i dont know . Your the one with the brains . " I say . I dont know if he could tell the i was flirting ?
" Its a box of quackers ! An haha you are funny " he says in a sarcastic look . As we walk into the shop , there is like a trillion different types of ice cream . It was paradise ! As we picked out our ice cream flavors , our hands touched ! I know like it doesnt seem like a big deal but to me this was majorly important . Our hands just stayed still for ten seconds . An thats a long time for me at least . Then the bomb was dropped .
" So are you from around here ? " he askes
" Nah . But where is here exactly ? " I say tryig not to cry.
" Uhh here is Califorina . Is there something wrong ? " he says looking concered
" Yes and no ."
" What do you mean ? " he is looking for answers now ...
" Well I am kinda homeless . An before you ask " Well how are you homeless? " I am homeless because I ran away . " I say holding in the tears as hard as i can . But the wall breaks and the river is running down my face , faster than people on black friday !
" Please dont cry . Sorry I asked . " he says about to cry himself
" Its fine . The reason I ran away was becasue i learned that my parents died when i was five . I have been living with total stangers . My brother survived our car crash but he vanished . An I need somewhere to say . Cause i know that i am not sleeping on the streets in Califorina . "
" Woah . Thats a lot to take in . Well you can sleep on the streets but only if you want to get killed . " he says laughing
" My point exactly . " I say wiping my tears away .
" Well you can stay at my place . My parents dont mind when a run away stranger gets invited to live with us . " he says trying to make me feel better . Honestly it worked .
" Haha very funny " I say getting up out of my chair . As I was getting up i tripped and fell . Basically I tackled Grant .
" I guess this is pay back " he says
" Yup i guess it is painful isnt it . "
" Yes but your beauty takes away some of the pain . " he says smiling that perfect smile of his .
