You Make It Easy

Six

I woke up to the smell of bacon. Slowly I lifted up to see my door was open. I got up and closed my door and locked it. I got dressed in my normal clothes and walked into my bathroom that connected to my room. I brushed my hair and i didn't even want to bother putting on make up. When I walked out I saw my dad sitting at the table scrolling through his phone eating eggs and toast.

"Good morning, there is some breakfast in there if you want. You might want to hurry and eat up before your sister wakes up. She might take it all." He laughed. I wasn't so hungry. I sat down on the couch and turned on the tv. There wasn't really anything on TV. I walked to my room and grabbed my phone. I had one message from my dad and another from a random number. I checked my dad's first.

Dad: hey pumpkin I know you were upset but you did run away so I have no choice but to ground you for a week."

I sighed and clicked the other message rolling my eyes.

Random number: hai Winterlyn! It's Luke. I was nervous about asking for your number and I'm kinda awkward about things like that so I just got it when you didn't look, sorry. Well I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tonight?

I replied: hey Luke. Haha, it's fine. I would've gave you my number. I'm grounded for a week so I can't go ANYWHERE but school. :(

Luke: sneak out. 😏

I replied: :)

I didn't really know about sneaking out but something about Luke made me want to break all the rules. I have been a good girl my whole life. I'm the angel. I'm the one people brag about. My sister was the type to sneak out. Not me.

I called Luke around 7pm and we talked for about ten minutes. He was going to come at 10. I locked my door and turned my lights out as usual. I lifted the window slowly. It was kinda cold out but I had a jacket. I jumped out walking fast around my house to the back lot where Luke had parked. He stood there leaning up against the black car. I couldn't really see what he was wearing but I knew it was hot.

He pulled up to his house around 10:30 after riding around a bit. We walked up to the door. He opened it and I walked in sitting on his small couch. "So, what do you want to do?" I asked. "I want you to tell me if you like this song I'm writing." He said grabbing his book. Wow he had a song book too. So he really is into music. He read these words aloud. "I'm not perfect but Im still me. I'll be the one who will make you see. I'm really sick of people judging me. I'm still here and I'll never leave."

I looked around the room. "So did you like it so far?" He asked sliding his book away. "I love it!" I answered. "Do you like music? You seem like the musical type!" He said smiling. He had the most amazing smile. "Uh yeah I guess." I looked down. "Can you sing?" He asked. I remember what my sister had said to me that night. "I don't know." I looked up shrugging my shoulders. " let me hear you!!" Luke scooted closer to me. "No no no no I'm not good at all please." I said shyly. "Please oh come on I'll sing with you." He insisted. "Fine I guess. Don't make fun of me please!"

-We sang, If It Means A Lot To You by A Day To Remember.

"Wow, you are so good." Luke said. "Thanks. I never really thought that I was." I said. "Do you write music or play any instruments?" He said all happily. "I write some, not a lot. I love singing but I can't play guitar. I have always wanted to learn. My dad can play guitar." Before I could say anything else Luke grabbed his guitar from beside the couch. I remember it being in his room the day before so he must play it a lot. He handed me the guitar and placed my fingers on the strings and he said "now just strum" and I did. It was amazing. He placed my fingers in a similar position and I strummed again. When I put them all together it sounded like an actual song. "See it's not so hard." He laughed. "Wow, that was so cool! Maybe you can teach me more sometime!" I said looking at my phone.

"Oh shoot!" I said getting up. "What? What's wrong?" Luke asked concerned. "It's 11pm." I said walking toward the door. "I'll take you home, don't want daddy getting upset his little girl snuck out till 11pm would we?" Luke smirked. "Oh shut up." I shoved him away and walked to the car. The doors were locked. "Oh come on Luke just unlock the door." I pleaded. "No we are walking." Luke said. "But it's like 30 degrees out Luke." I said zipping my jacket up. "It's not that bad come on Winterlyn. Winter is part of your name shouldn't you love it?" I laughed at his stupid comments. "Not really." I rolled my eyes and ran to catch up with him across the street. We got to the back lot at my house. "Bye Luke, thanks by the way." I said sticking my hands in my jacket pockets. "For what? I like hanging out with you. You are cool. I don't mind teaching you guitar." He laughed. "No, thank you for being a friend." I said walking away. "Wait Winterlyn." Luke grabbed my arm. "What!?" I said startled. "You are welcome." He smiled and hugged me. He was so warm. I could hug him for eternity.

I snuck back through my window and slipped into bed as quietly as possible.
