The Outcasts

Alyssa's POV

I woke up to someone's breath on my neck. The person's arms were around waist and under my neck. I slightly turned my head and was met with Mason's face. I tried to pull out of his grip but he was too strong.

He stirred and mumbled, "Are you awake?"

"Yes," I whispered.

He moved so he was more comfortable but still had his arm around me. I looked at the time and saw it was only 4:00. I breathed out an audible sigh. I stiffened when I felt Mason's lips against my neck. He was holding me against his body and kissing my neck. I was breathing in and out very fast. More like hyperventilating.

I took a couple deep breaths to calm down. When I felt Mason's arms go slack a bit, I managed to slip out of them. I got out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom. Like I did earlier, I leaned over and emptied my stomach. Though there wasn't that much to empty. I cried while I did.

I heard the door open and Mason popped his head in. When he saw me leaning over the toilet, he rubbed his eyes and walked over to me. He sat down and rubbed my back while I cried. He gave me a long hug.

When I finally turned to look at him, he was closer than before. If you looked hard enough, you could see a bit of nervousness in them.

"Can I ask you something?" He mumbled.

"Sure," I coughed.

"Evenifyoudidn'thaveto,wouldyoustillloveme?" He asked really fast.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Even if you didn't have to, would you still love me?" He asked slower but quiet.

"I don't know," I said.

"I know that you've never gone out with anyone so you don't know what it is to like someone but I just wanted to know could you be able to love me?" He asked.

"I don't know," I said.

He put his arms around me and hugged me. I just sat there, not knowing what to do or how to react. He chuckled a bit and I felt the vibration from his chest. He let go of me and got up. He walked out the door and then came back with some crackers and a grape juice box.

He handed them to me and I took them gratefully. I devoured the crackers and chugged the juice. That seemed to show me how hungry and thirsty I was. I guess through just the pressure and weight of everything, I hadn't even eaten.

Then, I remembered my ability to be able to move things with my mind. I imagined a bowl of spagetti with cheese on it. Then I imagined the door unlocking and opening. Then, the spagetti floated into the bathroom and the door shut and relocked. Mason stared at me the whole time with awe on his face.

"So, now we can get free food?" He asked.

I nodded and he broke into laughter. I followed along with him. He sat down next to me and stole some of my spagetti. I kept slapping his hands away. I imagined everything happening again except this time with a sirloin steak. The steak floated into the bathroom and set itself in front of Mason. He laughed again and we dug in.

And like the crazy people we are, we ate in the bathroom of a motel at 4:31 A.M. in the morning.

Mason and I were walking near the volcano in Yellowstone park just talking casually.

We drove here because I was curious to see the sight. My dad had told me of the beautys of the Yellowstone and the volcano, and with love drunk Mason, I thought I could use him to get me here. Yes, I am so cruel.
