Blue Without You

Red and Blue

We talk for a little bit. Mostly avoiding the topic at hand of us and Trent.

"Hmm..." He says after a while of trying to come up with a topic. "Twenty questions?"  I laugh a little.

"Oh god," I say staring at my ceiling, "fine but if this gets really cheesy then I may just hang up on you."

"Fine, Fine. Hmm what's your favorite color?"

"What do you think?"

"Sky blue?"

"Pretty much." I say and we both start laughing. "What about you?"

"Well it used to be red but I think I am starting to like this like haunting grey." Is he talking about my eye color?  "It's just a really pretty color."

"Mmm is that so?" I mumble.

"Pretty much." He says mimicing my voice. "Okay your turn."

"Okay," I say trying to stall to think of a question. "Have you ever had a girlfriend?" I blurt out. Why the heck would I say that!?

"Um yeah. Her name was Meoldy, she uh...well she cheated on me." He goes silent.

"I'm sorry." I say feeling a bit crushed.

"It's only 830 yes?" I roll over and look at my alarm clock.

"It is only 830." I comfirm.

"Let's do something!" He says all chirpy.

"I'm grounded remember? The only reason I got to the meeting is because I am starting tutoring on mondays and wednesday."

"Ah yes my little lier." He says strangly happy. "That's actually kind of hot." I groan and put my phone on my dresser and run to my door. I sneak a peek down stairs and see my brother asleep on the couch. I run back upstairs and pick up my phone. "You left me. I was lonley."

"Oh be quiet, I was checking to see if my parents were awake. They aren't by the way. So what do you suppose we do Romeo?"

"Oh I very much love this nick name." He says like a little girl. "Meet me out on your lawn in 10."

I hang up and collapse on my bed. I can't do this again. I can't fall in love again. I can't let someone get in my head like Trent did, but here I am leading him on. I sigh and look at my sweat pants and t-shirt. I send him a quick text.

do I need to wear jeans?

I get a response in about a minute.

No but we are going in public so you do need pants ;)

Oh my gosh he is so cocky. I stand and stare at myself in a full length mirror. I decide to keep my sweatpants on and change my shirt into a All TIme Low sleeveless. I do my make up and attempt to cat eye. It comes out decent so I let it stay. I lightly curl my hair and check the time. I throw my converses on and tiptoe down the stairs and out the door. Ash's small grey car is sitting in my drive way.

"Hello." I say sliding into the passenger seat.

"Hello baby." I groan and smack him in the arm.

"I said don't call me that." He holds his hands up in defese and puts the car in drive. "So where are we going?"

"It's a surprize." He says smiling big. I groan and lean my elbow on the center consol.

"I really don't like surprizes." He laughs.

"I don't think anyone really does." We drive for at least 10 mintues before he pulls into a parking lot near a little park by a man-made lake.

"A park?" I say giving him a weird look. He pulls out a blanket and gets out of the car. He starts walking towards the lake. "I refuse to get in that water."
