We walked up to the 24 hour open diner at one a.m. , feeling the blood running through our sore bodies. Zach had handed me his sweatshirt, making the coldness of Paris disappear. The despair i was feeling to have to leave this place made me wanna throw up. This place was magical, it made me wanna stay here forever. It made me wanna run away with the riptide. We silently sat at an empty booth, hearing the slight ring of the bell as a waitress walked up to our table. Her name tag read Mabel.
Mabel- What can i get you guys? *smiles*
Carson- I'll take a banana milkshake, please. *smiles*
Mabel- Of course, and you sir?
Zach- A basket of french fries will do.
Mabel- Okay, i'll be back in ten. *smiles*
Mabel walked to the kitchen, as i looked at Zach.
Carson- That was amazing. Thank you.
Zach- For what?
Carson- For the concert.
Zach- Oh yeah. Sorry, i've been spacing out.
Carson- I can tell.
Zach- Why would you order a milkshake at one thirty a.m. ?
Carson- Why wouldn't i?
Zach- I guess.
Carson- You make everything boring y'know?
Zach- What can i say, lately life hasn't been the greatest.
Carson- You know what you need to do?
Zach- What?
Carson- You need to change your attitude. On life. I feel like you think everyone is going to fuck you over.
The waitress came out, putting the milkshake on the table, then walking away. I grabbed the straw, taking a drink.
Zach- Everyone is going to fuck me over.
Carson- You need an adventure.
Zach- Well that sou-
Carson- C'mon!
I grabbed his hand, yanking him out of the light blue booth.
Zach- We didn't pay!
Carson- Shut up! *smiles*
I dragged him down the street, and onto a bus, throwing a quarter at the bus driver. We sat in the back, watching the waitress run out of the store. I laughed loudly, ignoring the stares we were getting.
Zach- *whispers* You're fucking crazy.
Carson- Lighten up.
I punched his shoulder lightly, laying my head against the back window.
Zach- Where are we going?
I shrugged. He huffed, causing me to roll my eyes. He's so annoying.
-TIME SKIP-
Bus Driver- LAST STOP!
My eyes jet open, as i feel the warmth of the brunette boy holding me. I lifted my head off of his shoulder, shaking him lightly. He mumbled quick words, before opening his eyes and quickly letting go of me.
Carson- Our ride is over, sleepy.
Zach- Oh.
We got off of the bus, waving bye to the bus driver. Our bodies got hit my the impact of a strong wind, the scent of salt waving in the air. The beach.
Carson- Hell yes! Thanks universe!
I ran down the sandy hill, as the waves hit my denim. Zach walked down the beach, lazily stopping by me.
Carson- C'mon. Aren't you happy?
Zach- No.
Carson- Why? This is amazing.
Zach- ...
Carson- But, I-
Zach- Carson!
His arms flew up in frustration.
Zach- No, This isn't amazing! We're stranded in the middle of fucking nowhere, my phone is dead, i have no more money, and out of all people i'm stuck here with you!
I felt anger build up inside me, letting a tear slip.
Carson- What is so fucking wrong with me Zach?! This is your fault, i've been trying to make you happy this whole fucking time! You're so frustrating. I have been nothing but nice to you even though you have been a complete asshole this whole time!
Zach- Then why're you trying so much anyway?!
Carson- Because I love you! I love your stupid ass! You're a fucking jerk to me, but i still praise your every fucking word. I'm so done with being played by your mind game! You like Aria, you like me? What the hell is wrong with you Zach? I've always loved you! I've always fucking loved you, and you treat my like shit! I-
I felt the water below my feet slow down, and the wind seem to pause for a moment. His hand brushed against my temple, he kissed my cheek lightly.
Zach- I'm-
Carson- Shut up.
Zach- Huh, I-
Carson- Zach!
Zach- What?
I pressed my lips against his, lightly brushing my hand against his cheek.
