To Be Alone.

Tate

"We are not going to school today."

Tate said to his mom

"Ok. Bye sweetie come on Le I'll drive you. Y'all can have the car today."

"Really. I lose the car today?"

Tate laughed and nodded "That is what she said. So we get the car!"

"Can I shower?" I asked Tate randomly. He laughed at me.

"Yeah sure go ahead."

"Yay! Can I use your bathroom again?" I asked jumping off the bed to get my clothes... well Tate's clothes. "Le? Can I borrow pants?"

She sighed in defeat about losing the car today and nodded. "Sure. You know where they are we have to leave. Bye Lexi." She said with a smile. "Bye bro." Said with a frown.

"Bye!" We said in unison. And laughed after they where out of the house.

"Hey, hurry with your shower I want to show you something please! Tate yelled as I shut the door to Neva's room.

"Okay!" I yelled as I start the shower. I got in, washed my hair and body then turned the water off. I grabbed my towel and went to step out and tripped. I fell with my back on the corner of the counter then hit my shoulder and head on the toilet. I started crying. I just laid there for a few minuets crying I gathered up some strength and pulled my self up off the ground. I got dressed and walked... well limped out of the bathroom and to our room. Tate was gone but I knew he was in the shower I could hear the water running. After a few minuets passed the water turned off. I laid on the bed with my back up. Tate walked in shirtless with a smile on his face. Until he saw me he ran up to me and said "Lexi?"

I looked up at him "yes?"

"Oh my good. Don't ever prank me. Like that again"

I stood up and gave him a questioning look "I'm not pranking you"

He pointed at the back of my shirt. "Then why did you do that?"

Raised an eyebrow. "Nothing there."

"Yes there is. It's blood. Or it looks like blood."

"Oh sh!t. Crap. No. I'm so sorry! Jeez I'm so sorry!" I say.

"It's ok?"

I pulled the shirt off I almost started crying again it hurt so bad.

"What's wrong? Why did you take the shirt off? not that I'm complaining or anything."

I smiled as tears fell down my face "I'm honestly sorry I didn't know It was bleeding." I said slowly turning around.

He gasped. "What happened?!"

"When I got out of the shower I tripped and fell with my back on the corner of the counter." I looked at my shoulder it was bruised. Big time. "And fell on the toilet." Nodding toward the bruise on my shoulder.

"Dang! are you ok?"

"I don't feel like it but yes I'll be fine."

"Come on" he says pulling me toward the window. He opens it and jumps out

"Tate!!" I gasp and lean over the window... to see him standing on the first floor roof overhang.

"TATE!!! DONT YOU DO THAT TO ME!!"

He laughed "Jump I'll catch you!"

"Haha yeah right!"

He rolled his eyes. "Just jump."

I crawled through the window and jumped I closed my eyes and waited when I opened my eyes again Tate was holding me.

"You caught me!"

"Was I not suposed to?"

"Thank you."

He nodded "that's what I though!" He put his forehead on mine and whispered "I love you Lexi"

I kissed him on the nose and softly whispered "I love you too"

I looked at both of us. "We are both shirtless."

He laughed. "I know. we look better that way"

I shook my head "you do. Girls are supposed to wear shirts. We have extra cargo."

"Extra cargo" he copied me waggling his eyebrows.

"Jeez. Guys."

"I love you to."

I smile at him "put me down. Please!"

He shrugs "I don't know."

"Why not?" I pout

"I like carrying you"

"But I'm heavy."

"No your not"

"Ye-"

He cut me off with a kiss. He pulled away and said

"No. Your not."

"Fine."

He walks around to the corner of the house and sets me down. "You have to climb up. I can't carry you"

I nodded and he pointed to a ladder that was on the side of the house. I climbed it. When I get to the top I stand on the roof and waited for Tate. When he got up he took my hand and started to walk to the other side of the roof. What I saw was amazing.

I gasped "oh my god. It's so beautiful!" The sun was peeking over the top of the trees with orange and pink fading into blue

"Just like you" Tate said seriously

I thought about reclining his compliment but didn't. In stead said.

"Really?"

"Really."

I smiled and started to cry.

"Why? why do you love me. I'm a mess. I have problems. But you love me. Why?"

"Because. Your you. I love YOU witch means I love you when your a mess and I love ALL of your problems. I might try to help you with some of them. But I love Y-O-U. And. I love your you-ness." And with that he kissed the tears away by kissing each of my cheeks then he kissed me. He deepened the kiss and I grab his hands and lay on the roof. Never breaking the kiss he laid next to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled away and I scooted closer to him

"I love you Tate"

"I love you too"
