Purple Tips (My New Escape)

Fourteen

Me and Lane drive out to a nearby forest. She parked somewere random and we get out.

Me and her have never used a gun before so this could go extremely wrong. Did we care? Nah. We don't even have a future.

People party alot in this forest so there were beer bottles everywhere. She picks up one; its empty.

"Yo duuuuude! Check out all the hot chicks at this party." She said in a funny drunk voice. "Pfft. But you're the only attractive one here." I replied smiling.

She walks to me. "That's not true and you know it."

"Are you kidding? I'm trash. Look how plain I am!"

"That's not what makes you beautiful."

"I'm every inch of ugly, Lane. I'm not the best person yah know?"

"Psh. You are a good person. The world just doesn't understand us."

I walk closer to her; face to face.

"Yeah I know but." I sigh. "What am I even doing with my life? I don't even know my career." I look down.

She grabs the bottom of my chin and lifts it up making me look at her. I stare at her eyes.

"We can run away together. Just you and me."

I lean in.

"Is that what you want?"

She leans in as well.

"Yes." She said softly.

She closes her eyes.

I smirk. I cover my mouth with my hand and she kisses my hand. She instantly opens her eyes.

"Wait-"

I take the gun from her and shoot a bottle making her scared to death. The gun flinged back but I got a hold of it.

"IZZY! GOD, YOU SCARED ME!!!"

I laugh.

"ITS! Its not funny!!!" She blushes.

"It kinda was." I said still laughing. She takes the gun from me and shoots another bottle. "Nice aim." She said.

"Thanks~" I reply.

She circles around me and grabs the end of her braided hair. "But, you have and easy, close-up target." She picks up another bottle and places it on a tree trunk on a hill. She placed two more on there.

"Easy." I shoot at the bottle and miss. She chuckles.

"Try again partner." I shoot again and hit a tree.

"Dammit."

She giggles. She takes the gun from me and shoots at it perfectly.

My jaw drops. "I thought you never shot a gun before!"

She smirks. "I haven't. I've seen people do it and I picked up. I watch everything they do and how they mess up and what they do to fix it."

I am confusion. She just said so much. "You....what?"

She rolls her eyes. "Here," she comes behind me and holds the gun with me. She lifts my arms up. "So clench onto it. Hold it really tight so that it doesn't fly back. And aim like this..."

I feel her breath on my neck. I concentrate.

"Fire." She said.

I did as she said and I hit the bottle perfectly.

I let out a laugh of victory. She let's go of me and stands beside me. I kind of missed the warmth of her.

I smirk at her and then aim. I fire and I hit the bottle. "Yes!"
